INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (rev A)
Recessed Mount Motorized Plasma
Installation
The Plasma must be retracted and in the vertical position for the Art
Screen to work properly.
Referring to Dimensional Information (Fig 1 and Figure 15 on page 7 in
this manual); determine the wall opening height, width and depth. (The
wall cutout for the back should be a snug fit. The front is designed to
protrude about a ¼” from wall surface, see Fig.2).
Dry wall installation requires base support as shown in
Figure 1. Additional supports to strengthen the base support should also
be considered.
Determine I/O routing of the video/audio cables and AC power
supply. See pages 8-9 of X-Arm user manual instructions.
Place the main shell in the wall opening. Be sure the main shell is level;
shim as required. Screw the shell to the wall as shown in Fig. 2.
Remove the hook brackets and clips from X-Arm. And mount to back of
TV following proper configuration.
Measure the TV mounting holes as indicated in Figure 3.
If the width is 26” – 34.50” (66.04-87.63 cm), install the Bar Extensions,
shown in Figure 4.
If the width is more or equal to 21.50” (54.61cm), install hook brackets as
shown in Figure 5. (Hook ends towards top of TV).
If the width is less than 21.50” (54.61 cm), install the Cross Plates, shown in
Figure 6.
If the height “A” is 18.50” – 27.50” (47 – 70 cm), install the Brackets
Extensions, as shown in Fig 7.
More than one adapter may need to be installed and center lines of
mounting holes and hook brackets should coincide.

The TV is very heavy. Use at least two people to hang TV on X-Arm.
Hang the TV on the top bar of X-arm and then carefully rotate it down as shown in Fig. 8.
Center TV to Main Shell by sliding TV sideways as necessary, clearances dimensions must be same in both sides of TV,
as shown in Fig 10. Check top and bottom clearances, bottom clearance could be a little larger than top.
Insert each of the four safety clips, on the top and bottom of the TV Mounting Bracket (Hook brackets) as shown in Fig. 9
Secure the safety clips using the included hex wrench to tighten the screws.
Actuate Art rolled up
limit switch LS1 once
again to activate power
and press “X-Arm”
button on X-Arm remote
control to recede X-Arm.
Check TV width and
Calibrate TV
following instructions
on pages 11 and 12 of

Wood Frame Installation
A typical wood frame including the liner is
approximately 5-1/2 inches wide to properly cover
the assembly. The wood overhangs the main shell
approximately 3/4 inch when attached.
Two corner woods are attached to the backside of
the wood frame to take-up the weight.
Two spring-loaded catches and a magnetic catch
will hold the wood frame to the main shell. Simply
snap the wood frame to the shell when ready.
Electrical Connections
A Quad outlet AC box is provided for 120VAC
connection. Connect 120VAC to this box to power
the TV, X-Arm and the IR remote control.
The Art Screen and the X-Arm come with
respective IR remote controls for operations.
Remotes are ready for use; no wiring connections
are required.
Place the IR sensors so that it can be seen by the
transmitters.
Plug the power cords to a 120VAC outlet.
The IR remote control and X-Arm have manual inputs for Home Automation systems, i.e. AMX, Crestron, etc. See IR remote control
manual and X-Arm manual (included) for detail information.
The spring-loaded catch (Figure 12) with SPDT switch may be used for security purpose; its contacts may be connected to an audible
alarm system or monitoring system. The breach of security will be activated when the wood frame is removed.
The states of the contacts are shown when the Keeper is not engaged with the
Catch.
Contact Rating: 6Amp, 250VAC or 3Amp, 30VDC.
Figure 12
Spring-loaded catch
with SPDT switch
The Art Screen R series has two normally open limit switches, as shown in Fig 13:
LS1 – Art rolled up limit switch needs to be engaged in order for X-Arm to
operate.
LS2 – X-Arm home limit switch needs to be engaged in order for Artwork to
operate. (See electrical schematic appendix)

Open and Close Limits Setting
The Open limit switch has been properly set for correct stop position. It should not be adjusted unless a change in the motor or the
motor had been removed for service.
Note each full turn of the limit switch (360 degrees) causes the screen to travel approximately 1/2 inch.
1. To lower the closed limit of the Art Screen. Send the Art Screen down to it closed position. Turn the Close limit socket
counter-clockwise (Figure 14); the Art Screen will advance downward as each full turn is made. Stop at the desired position.
2. To raise the closed limit of the Art Screen. Send the Art Screen down to it closed position. Determine the number of turns to
stop the screen above the desired close limit. Turn the Close limit socket clockwise to raise the limit. The motor will not move for
this direction.
3. Send the screen up halfway then stop. Send the screen down to its closed limit. The screen must stop above the desired position. If
it is not, repeat step 2
4. When the Art Screen stopped above the desired closed limit; do Step 1 to set the desired closed limit.
5. Check and adjust the closed and open limits as necessary.

ART ROLLER INSTALLATION
Vutec has made a significant improvement to control and reduce the vibration noise level associated with the art roller motor.
The art roller motor is now shipped uninstalled to protect the four vibration dampers imparted in the design.
The following steps show how to install the art roller to the art screen unit.
Note: Installing the art roller motor must be the last thing to do! Therefore, the metal frame, the Plasma TV and its mounting location
must have been installed, adjusted and checked to satisfaction before proceeding with the art roller installation.
Step 1 Carefully remove the plastic wrapping. Locate two #8-32 machine screws and flat washers for used. There should be a layer
of paper protecting the art roller. Do not remove the paper until the art roller has been installed and secured properly. The
paper keeps the art print clean for final revelation.
Step 2 Referring to Figure D, insert the art roller into the idler bracket at angle as shown. Rotates and guides the art roller into place
such that it sits on the motor bracket as shown in Figure E.
Step 3 Use #8-32 by 3/8 inch long machine screws to secure the art roller in place (Figure F). Do not over-tighten the screws.
Step 4 No placement adjustments are necessary because the location of the idler bracket has been determined and it remained on the
metal frame for this purpose.
Step 5 Connect the motor cable to the IR control box.
Step 6 Remove the masking tapes and the protective paper. The art roller is ready for operation!
