Important Safety Instructions

When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions

should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read and understand all instructions before

using equipment.

2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance

is used by or near children. Do not leave appliance

unattended while in use.

3. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching

hot parts.

4. Do not operate appliance if it has been dropped or damaged

until it has been examined by a qualiied service technician.

5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this

appliance in water or other liquids.

6. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended

by the manufacturer may cause risk of ire, electric shock

or injury to persons.

Pre-Installation

The screen will arrive in three separate cardboard boxes. One

box will be very long and will house the 4.75” x 8.00” top and

bottom main frame parts, the 1.50” x 1.50” frame parts, hardware

and wall switch. The second cardboard box will house the 4.75” x

8.00” side main frame parts. The third cardboard box will house

the fabric for the Curved Da-Snap Screen.

Have space for this available on a lat clean surface such a large

table or loor. The work area should be larger than the frame size.

If the loor is used, clean papers should be spread to keep all dirt

from the screen surfaces. Do not use newspaper..

Phillips Screwdriver

1/8” Allen Wrench

1. Inside each box the frame pieces will be individually paper

wrapped and taped. Remove all paper from pieces.

Do not use a utility knife to remove paper from pieces.

2. Unpack the 1.50” x 1.50” frame parts and fabric from the

cardboard boxes. DO NOT unroll the screen surface

at this time.

3. Slide the frame pieces together at corners. Secure frame

pieces with #10 black screws provided. Do not tighten screws

until all are started, and then tighten (Figure 1).

NOTE: The frame pieces are labeled “TOP” and “BOTTOM”. Be

sure the frame pieces are assembled according to the labels.

This will ensure the snap pattern on the frame and screen

surface will match.

4. Unroll the screen on a clean surface. Do not use newspaper.

Place screen surface over the frame, and while holding the

frame with one hand, snap the screen surface onto the frame

with the other hand while maintaining a steady pull on

the surface. Start with the four corners.

5. Set assembly aside; it will be attached to the main frame.

1. Lay frame pieces out on the loor or table as shown in Figure

2. The bottom frame assembly has the junction box attached

to it. The side frame assemblies have the rollers and motors

attached to them.

2. Assemble left side of frame to the top of frame (NOTE: Figure

2 is looking from the back of frame). The large L-bracket will

slide into the aluminum extrusion while the small L-bracket

will slide into the frame channel. When sliding the bracket

into the top frame assembly, guide the slat roller carriage into

the top aluminum guide track as shown in Figure 3.

3. Fasten (3) #10 x 3/8” button head screws through top of frame

into the large L-bracket. Tighten two screws on lat small

L-bracket to line up the front surfaces as shown in Figure 4.

the frame channel. When sliding the bracket into the bottom

frame assembly, guide the slat roller carriage into the bottom

aluminum guide track. See Figure 5.

5. Route the two cable assemblies around motor bracket and

plug the 3 wire male connector into the 3 wire female

connector on the motor bracket. The motor will have a gray

data cable with and RJ45 connector and RJ45 coupler on

the end coming out of the head of the motor. Plug the

connector of the cable assembly into the RJ-coupler. Tuck the

RJ- coupler underneath motor bracket securely to prevent

entanglement as shown in Figure 5.

6. Fasten (3) #10 x 3/8” button head screws through bottom of

frame into the large L-bracket. Tighten two screws on lat

small L-bracket to line up the front surfaces. See Figure 6.

7. Assemble right side of frame to top and bottom frame

assemblies. The two large L-brackets will slide into top and

bottom aluminum extrusion while the two small L-brackets

will slide into the frame channel. When sliding the right side

assembly into the aluminum extrusion, guide the slat roller

carriage into the top and bottom aluminum guide tracks as

shown in Figure 7.

8. Fasten (3) #10 x 3/8” button head screws through top and

bottom of frames into the large L-brackets. Tighten two

screws on each lat small L-bracket to line up the front

surfaces.

9. Route the two cable assemblies around motor bracket and

plug the 3 wire male connector into the 3 wire female

connector on the motor bracket. The motor will have a gray

data cable with and RJ45 connector and RJ45 coupler

on the end coming out of the head of the motor. Plug the

connector of the cable assembly into the RJ-coupler. Tuck

the RJ45 coupler underneath motor bracket securely to

prevent entanglement as shown in Figure 8.

10. Remove tape from the black steel wire tension cable located

at the bottom left side assembly. Remove wire tie from the

cable assembly. Run black steel wire tension cable down

around pulley at end and bring back towards the end. You

may have to pull slightly hard and clip the tension cable to

the eyebolt secured in the slat bar as shown in Figure 9. Be

careful not to pinch your ingers in the spring. Repeat this

step for bottom right corner of screen.

Note for 192" Wide Screens Only: Move black steel wires

away from the front of the screen over and behind the steel

pin located between the end of the aluminum guide track

and the pinch guard.

11. Remove tape from the black steel wire tension cable located

at the top left side assembly. Remove wire tie from the cable

assembly. This cable assembly will have an extra safety wire

ran through the spring. Run black steel wire tension cable

down around pulley at end and bring back towards the end.

You may have to pull slightly hard and clip the tension cable

to the eyebolt secured in the slat bar as shown in Figure 10.

Be careful not to pinch your ingers in the spring. Repeat this

step for top right corner of screen.

Note for 192" Wide Screens Only: Move black steel wires

away from the front of the screen over and behind the steel

pin located between the end of the aluminum guide track

and the pinch guard.

12. Attach end of safety cable to eyebolt in middle of screen.

Repeat this step for top right corner of screen.

13. Carefully slide the Da-Snap frame inside the main frame as

per Figure 11. First, slide the bottom under the bottom

brackets, then the top, under the top brackets. Lift Da-Snap

frame against the inside top and bottom brackets, align holes

and attach with black knobs.

At this point, preparations are needed to provide electrical power

to unit; see wiring diagrams beginning on page 9.

Curved Multi Format Imager Installation – Wall Mount

1. The screen is shipped with one wall hanger board. Two small

brackets are included to hold the frame securely to wall

at the bottom.

2. The wall hanger board must be mounted into at least four

wall studs; it must be horizontally leveled.

3. Secure wall hanger board to wall studs at the desire height.

Drill holes and attach wall hanger board into wall. You

will need about 3” clearance above the top surface of the

board. It is recommended to use a 1/4” x 21/2” lag screw and

1/4" lat washer (not supplied) to fasten the board to wall.

NOTE: the top surface of the wall hanger board will align the

top surface of the screen.

4. This step must be done by a lifting device or enough people

to safely lift the weight of the screen over the wall hanger

board. Lift the screen about 3” over the wall hanger board.

5. Align the wood guide of the board with the metal guide of

the screen. Make sure the sides of the screen are located at

the same distance from the wall.

6. Move the screen until slightly touches the wall and let it come

down slowly until it rests on the metal brackets. There is a lip

on the back of the frame that slides down on the surfaces of

the two metal brackets.

7. Attach two small brackets to the bottom of the frame with

two #10 x 3/8” button head screws. Secure brackets to wall

with two screws (not supplied).

8. Attach two side covers with (6) #10 x 3/8” button head screws.
