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.

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 220VAC
connection. Connect 220VAC 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 220VAC 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 SPDT switch (Figure 12) 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 normal states of the contacts are shown when the wood frame is not presented.
Contact Rating: 10Amp, 1/2HP, 125/250VAC or 6Amp, 30VDC.

Figure 12

Optional

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.

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!
