Before beginning the installation:

• Check the specifications for the type of mounting and switch control to be used.
• Ensure that the mounting area and electrical connection are prepared.
• Check the size and weight of the screen to be installed so that you can plan for the number of people required for the mounting procedure. You need at least four people to mount the smaller screens; more are needed for larger, heavier screens.

Factory Advisory

The factory advises against installing a concealed or recessed electrical projection screen permanently. You must be able to access and remove the unit should future service be necessary. Suggested solutions for removing the unit include:

• A removable ceiling cover plate under the mounting location
• Access to the unit through an attic or overhead space

UNPACKING

• DO NOT remove the paper hanging from the trapdoor at this time You should remove it only after the unit is hung, all electrical connections have been made, and the screen is in operation
• Remove the bottom flat braket on the bottom of the case

STEP 1: HANGING THE CASE

Professional mounting techniques should be used. Stewart Filmscreen Corporation cannot be liable for substandard or faulty installations.
Make sure that you mount the screen so that the electrical box is on the left side (audience left)

INSTALLING THE UNIT
The Luxus Grande ElectriScreen is ready to install into the ceiling or soffit A false ceiling is not intended to support the weight of a Luxus Grande ElectriScreen
The screen can be bolted directly to the support structure or suspended Stewart Filmscreen recommends contacting a civil engineering consultant to determine if the building can support the load of the unit

1. Install the unit onto the support structure making sure that the bottom of the case is flush with the
   finished ceiling, if any

2. Make sure the unit is level

STEP 2: ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP

CAUTION

• Professional techniques need to be used when making any electrical connection. A qualified electrician should perform these procedures.
• Be sure to follow all standard safety procedures for installing electrical devices.
• Do not disassemble or alter the configuration of the motor or the unit’s electrical connections. This may cause injury to you or damage to the product.
• The electrical connection should be made only to the type of power source indicated on the marking label.

The motor requires standard AC input (unless an alternate voltage has been specified) All connections are made to the electrical box on the side of the unit (audience left)
There are several kinds of switch controls available Follow the installation procedure for the type of switch control you will install

General suggestions for wiring:

• Soldering is recommended
• The use of wire nuts is acceptable

INSTALLING THE LOW-VOLTAGE 3-BUTTON SWITCH (STANDARD)
The Stewart Filmscreen low-voltage control allows the use of low-voltage wire to connect to the supplied 3-position 24V momentary wall switch

PREPARING THE CONNECTION
Before making the electrical connections, you need:

• An available AC constant power source
• A 4-conductor switch hook-up cable (4-conductor bell wire or category 5 cable is typically used for long runs)
• Cat 5, multi-conductor unshielded, or similar type electronic cable can be used to connect the 3- button switch to the LVC The recommended wire gauge is 20 to 24 AWG Use plenum-rated cable when required

MAKING THE CONNECTION
Figure 2 illustrates the connections

1. Remove the J-box covers, using a standard screwdriver
2. Connect the 4-conductor cable to the connection harness coming from the J-box used for switch input, via an electrical knockout
3. Connect the hookup cable to the 3-button switch
4. Connect the main AC power source to the the J-box used for the main AC power connection, via  an electrical knockout
5. Replace the covers on the J-boxes
6. A parallel connection to an outboard audio-visual switching network can be made at this time

OPERATING THE SCREEN

FIRST TIME OPERATION

The first time you operate the screen, the protective paper will fall out as the screen unrolls Once the screen is fully displayed, make sure that no packing paper remains on the screen-roll The screen can be damaged if loose paper remains

Use the 3-button switch or outboard switching network to control the screen When you lower or retract the screen, it will stop at its preset limit If an obstacle (such as a person or furniture) gets in the path of the screen as it is lowered, you should use the switch control to stop the screen’s motion; it will not automatically stop if it hits an obstacle In general, when the screen is not in use, you should store it in the fully retracted position

CAUTION

The unit emits any smoke, heat, abnormal noise or unusual odor

• The unit is damaged in some way, such as damage from a water leak
• If any of these situations occur, call a qualified service person

ADJUSTING THE SCREEN EXTENSION

CAUTION Improper adjustment of the limits can cause irreparable damage to the screen itself, resulting in voiding the factory warranty

The extension and retraction limits have been preset at the factory In general, we advise you to avoid readjusting these limits
In some cases, to enable proper alignment of the displayed image on the screen, you may need to adjust the extension of the screen If adjustment to the extension is necessary, carefully follow these instructions

WARNING! The screen is fully retracted when the batten is flush with the bottom of the case Do not attempt adjustments with the blue retraction (UP) thumbwheel that will further retract the screen Incorrect adjustment of the thumbwheel will cause severe screen damage Please consult the factory if you have any questions

MODIFYING THE EXTENSION OF THE SCREEN

You can increase the extension of the screen up to 3” (7 6 cm) past the factory preset stop, or you can decrease the extension by approximately 4-6” (10-15 cm) from the factory preset stop Do not attempt to modify the screen extension beyond these recommended amounts
The thumbwheels are located on the left side of the screen roller tube inside the case, as shown in Figure 3 Remove the cover of the case using a hex head screwdriver When finished, replace the cover.

To increase the screen’s fully extended (screen down) stop position:

1. Lower the screen to its current stop position
2. Locate the red extension (down) thumbwheel located on the left side of the screen tube Turn the thumbwheel in the direction of the (+) sign If the power is on, the screen will drop incrementally as the thumbwheel is turned
   Note: One complete turn of the thumbwheel will make approximately a 11” (28 cm) change in the screen’s stop position

To decrease the screen extension:

1. Lower the screen until it is extended about halfway down
2. Locate the red extension (down) thumbwheel located on the left side of the screen tube Turn the thumbwheel in the direction of the (-) sign
   Note: One complete turn of the thumbwheel will make approximately a 3/4” (2 cm) change in the screen’s stop position

Activate the screen in the down direction until it reaches the newly reduced stop position Repeat this procedure until the desired stop position is reached Once you have made the adjustment, whenever you lower the screen, it will automatically stop at the new position
Note: It is recommended that you make a note of any changes made to the factory preset

SCREEN CARE AND CLEANING

With reasonable care, you may expect many years of trouble-free use of your Stewart projection screen We encourage you to keep your screen clean To protect your screen when it is not in use, store it in the fully retracted position Avoid getting any foreign material on the screen, as cleaning may prove very difficult It may not be possible to remove scratches, paint, ink, etc

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

The screen surface on your screen is delicate Special attention to these instructions should be followed when cleaning

• A draftsman-style brush may be used to lightly whisk away any loose dirt or dust particles (This type of brush is usually available at office supply stores ) Stewart Filmscreen has an optional screen cleaning kit that contains the proper type of brush Contact your dealer if you would like to obtain this cleaning kit
• Particles left on the screen when it is retracted into the case may form an impression on the screen surface Periodically wipe the back of the screen with a clean damp cloth
• For tougher spots, use a solution of mild detergent and water Rub lightly using a sponge Blot with a damp sponge to absorb excess water Residual water marks will evaporate within a few minutes Let the screen air dry completely before retracting.

Do not use any other cleaning materials on the screen Contact the factory if you have questions about removing difficult spots
