Installation Warning

The instructions provided in this user’s guide are for reference only. Please consult a professional installation
company for further installation and safety advice. The installer must insure that proper mounting hardware is used to provide adequate strength suitable for the installation. Elite Screens is not liable for any faulty installations.

NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur on a particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the device which may be casing the interference.
• Increase the separation between the screen and the device’s receiver.
• Connect the equipment into a different power outlet other than the device.

Pre-Installation

1. Carefully unpack the screen.
2. Always handle the screen in a leveled position on a clean surface.
3. In order to protect the screen from exposure to stains, keep the screen out of contact with foreign particles such as dust, sawdust, and/or liquids.

NOTE
Regardless of the mounting method, the screen should be securely supported so that the vibration or pulling on the viewing surface will not cause the casing to become loose or fall. The installer must insure the fasteners that are used are of adequate strength and suitable for the installation location.

Screen operation

Electric Current: The screen operates on AC110V at 60Hz/ 0.77A

1. After ensuring the power outlet & screen are compatible (voltage), plug the power cord into the power outlet.
2. Once the screen has power, you’ll be able to control it using any of the 6 methods described below.

6 ways to control the Evanesce Tab-Tension B CineGrey 5D®

1. IR remote control (Item A, Fig 1): The Infrared functions by direct line of sight contact with a beam range of 30 feet. Aim the IR remote at the “eye” receiver once it has been connected to the control box’s RJ45 port.

2. IR “Eye” Receiver (Item E, Fig 2): The IR “Eye” Receiver plugs directly into the control box’s RJ45 port to present a low profile line-of-sight control option for your IR remote control even in a recessed ceiling installation.

3. RF Remote Control (Item B): The radio waves eliminate the need for a direct line of sight with a range of 100 feet.

4. 3-Way Wall Switch (Item C, Fig 3): The 3-way wall switch is a wall mount switch with an up/stop/down button and plugs directly into the control box’s RJ45 port.

5. 5-12 volt trigger (Item D, Fig 4): The built-in 5-12V trigger input allows your screen to synchronize its drop & rise with the
   projector’s power cycle. The screen deploys when the projector
   powers up and will retract when the projector powers down. The 5-12 volt RJ45 cable connects to your projector’s trigger output via a separate cable that may or may not be provided by the manufacturer of the projector. The trigger feature will not work without an output cable from the projector, but it can be tested by connecting the Red (+) and Green (-) cable to a 9-volt battery.

6. Wireless 5-12 volt trigger (Item F, Fig 5): The RF remote control serves as a dual purpose, independently as a handheld remote control, or in conjunction with the Wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable. The radio frequency technology can be programmed to send a wireless signal to synchronize its drop/rise with the projector’s power cycle.

Here’s how to set up your Wireless 5-12 volt trigger | Synchronization Instructions

• Step1: Connect one end of the 3.5 mm wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to the RF remote. Step 2: Connect the other 3.5 mm end of the wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to your projector Step 3: Make sure to unplug your screen from the power outlet
• Step 4: Hold the UP button on your RF remote
• Step 5: While holding the UP button, plug the screen back to the power outlet
• Step 6: Wait 5 seconds and then release the UP button
• Step 7: Your 5-12V wireless trigger should now be activated with your screen and ready to be used and able to control your screen with your projector’s power cycle Repeat the steps again if not successful.
  (Please be aware, the projector on/off cycle may take longer to fully activate. It usually takes around 20-30seconds for full off and on cycle each time)

Hardware Parts List for Evanesce Tab-Tension B CineGrey 5D® Series
Please make sure all parts listed below are included before proceeding with the installation.

Installation Instructions

The Evanesce Tab-Tension B CineGrey 5D® allows access for above or below ceiling installation. Please follow the instructions described in the following steps below for your type of installation.

Power

The Evanesce Tab-Tension B CineGrey 5D® includes a 3-Prong Power Cord (2-Prong Power Cord for some countries) for use in a non-concealed power outlet. If your installation will be entirely concealed (including power outlet), Elite Screens strongly recommends a hardwire connection. Please refer to the image below for both 110v & 220v wiring information.

Notice to Installer:
Please use the following installation instructions to obtain superior optical performance from the CineGrey 5D® Angular Reflective ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) Screen.
Make sure to follow these instructions in order for the CineGrey 5D ® to perform correctly.

• Angular-Reflective material is not compatible with ultra/short-throw projectors
• Minimum lens throw ratio 1.5x image width
• Ambient light must not come from the same direction as the projector

Since angular-reflective means that the projected image will reflect at the mirror-opposite angle, it is important to position the projector so that the viewer will get the best possible image.

• Step 1: Establish the general “eye level” of the viewers
• Step 2: Set the appropriate projection level
• Step 3: Adjust the screen height level and projection angle
  Input Angle (A) = Output Angle (B) aligns with the viewer’s angle

Above ceiling installation instructions

Assembly

1. Insert the Hex Screw (B) through the Hanging Bracket’s (C) screw hole and secure with the Case Rail Nut (A). Slide the Hanging Bracket (C) through the railing on top of the case.
2. Place the Suspension Bar (D) on the Hanging Bracket (C) and align with the hole as shown below. Secure the Suspension Bar (D) with the Hex Screw (B), Washer (E) and the Hex Nut (F). Install the Suspension Bars (D) to your ceiling according to their distance.

Optional Installation using parts below

1. Place the Hanging Bracket (C) in the desired location on the screen’s housing and measure the distance as shown below. (L = Distance)
2. Mark the location of where the screen will be installed according to the distance (L) and then secure the bolt to the ceiling.
3. Install the screen to the screw bolt as shown in the figure below.

Below ceiling installation instructions

1. Measure and cut the ceiling installation space. The width should not exceed 120mm. Measure the length of your screen to determine the length.
   Note: The length of the installation space is not greater than the screen size table (A3), and the width is not less than the screen size table (A5). Consult the table below (C1) in regards to accommodating the screen casing .

2. Drill 4 holes in the ceiling that correspond with the attachments on the various casing sizes.

3. The expanding bolts (G) mount into thick wood beams, stone or concrete and will support the screen. Use the Socket wrench (M) to attach the hexagonal screws (J). The expanding bolts should be firmly tightened and tested to make sure that they will hold the weight of the screen.

4. Push the screen up into the space. Use the threaded rods (H) to attach the screen assembly to the ceiling.
   The hexagonal screws (J) will connect the screen to the rest of the assembly. Once firmly in place, use the nuts (I) to ensure a firm connection. Use the socket wrench (M) to make sure that the bolts are firmly tightened.

5. Install plastic cover panel (N) to complete the installation.
