VMAX 3 Series | Controls and Accessories

Screen operation

Electric Current : Depending upon region, your Elite Screen will operate on 100v, 110v, or 220v voltage.

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 your VMAX 3 screen
IR remote control (Item A, Fig 1): The Infrared functions by direct line of sight contact using a beam range of 30 feet. Aim the IR remote at the circular window located on the left side of the screen.

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

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

IR “Eye” Receiver (Item E, Fig 2):
The IR “Eye” Receiver plugs directly into the screen’s RJ45 input to present a low-profile line-of-sight control option for your IR remote control. It is an extended eye-receiver to accommodate a recessed ceiling installation

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

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.

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 as a Wireless 5-12 volt trigger using the trigger cable. The radio frequency technology can be programmed to send a wireless signal that synchronizes screen drop & rise with the projector’s power cycle.

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

Instructions

1. Step1: Connect one end of the 3.5 mm wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to the RF remote.
2. Step 2 : Connect the other 3.5 mm end of the wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to your projector
3. Step 3 : Make sure to unplug your screen from the power outlet
4. Step 4 : Hold the UP button on your RF remote
5. Step 5 : While holding the UP button, plug the screen back to the power outlet
