Vutec ARTSCREEN Surface Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Surface Mount Plasma

Installation

The Plasma must be straight and not tilted for the Art Screen to work properly. Tilting of the Plasma is not recommended.

Referring to Figure 2, use a triangle to determine the Plasma
OD onto the wall. Verify the outline accuracy for a problem
free installation.

Determine the depth of the Plasma – from the wall to the
front bezel surface.

Determine the mounting locations for the wall mount
brackets (Figures 1 & 2). Use proper wall anchors (not
supplied) for drywall installation.

Drill pilot holes for #8 screws or install wall anchors as
required.

Install the Art Screen frame (Figure 3) around the Plasma.
Adjust the Art Screen frame so that it is center around the

Plasma. Tighten the screws.
Adjust the depth of the Art Screen frame so that it is 1/2 to

5/8 (Figure 4) inch more than the depth of the Plasma. This
clearance is required for the Art Screen to travel.

Route the motor wires to the backside for connection later.

Wood Frame Installation

A typical wood frame including the liner is approximately 5

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.

The wood frame attaches to the main shell by two
clips on the backside (see Picture Frame Installation
and Removal Section) and hold in place by the ears of
the main shell.

Referring to Figure 6, two side panels are provided for
covering the sides of the Art Screen frame. The panels
apply to the frame by Velcro strips supplied.

The Velcro strips are cut to length. Apply the black
part (Hook) of the Velcro to the sides of the frame.

Apply the white part (Loop) of the Velcro to each of
the panels (Figure 6).

Apply the side panels to the Art Screen frame for a
complete installation. The top and bottom of the Art
Screen frame are left open for proper ventilation for
the plasma.

Optionally, custom-made side panels may be installed
as desired.

Electrical Connections

The Art Screen comes with IR remote control for
operations. It is ready for use; no wiring connections are
required.

Place the IR sensor so that it can be seen by the
transmitter.

Plug the power cord to a 120VAC outlet.
The IR remote control has manual inputs for Home

Automation systems, i.e. AMX, Crestron, etc. See IR
remote control manual (included) for detail information.

The SPDT switch (Figure 3b) 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.

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 5); 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

Figure 3b

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.
