Section 1 – Hanging Screen

Please Note: The following steps only apply when changing or installing the roller. Product ships with Roller and fabric already in place.

Please Note: When locating viewing surface and checking clearance for screen operation, ensure that surface is centered in the case.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

With typical installation, brackets may be angled to meet installation requirements.

  1. Engage each case mounting bracket (attached to case)
    with top of housing and tighten set screws.

  2. Screen should be sufficiently supported to withstand vibration.
    Please Note: A hoisting bracket is included on each end of
    the case to aid in overhead installation.

  3. Ensure that fasteners are of adequate strength and
    suitable for the mounting surface chosen. Supporting
    hardware such as chains, cables, two 3/8″ (9.5 mm) rods,
    etc., must be precisely vertical.

  4. Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after
    installation is complete.

  5. Front, back, and top of case must be straight—not
    forced to warp or bow.
    CAUTION: Screen case and flange are not designed to
    serve as ceiling support.

  6. Do not seal unit in ceiling until screen operates
    successfully.
    Please Note: If case is painted on location, removal of
    roller/fabric assembly is recommended prior to painting.
    If not removed, slot on bottom of case should be shielded
    to protect viewing surface from paint splatters/overspray.

Section 2 – Bottom Access Panel Installation/Removal

Bottom access panel secures to the
screen housing with two screws (one
on each end), and is held in the closed
position by engagement brackets with
ball detents that snap into case support
brackets.

Section 3 – Spring Roller/Fabric Installation

  1. Remove bottom access panel.

  2. Back out the set screws in bracket until flush with top side of the bracket.

  3. The spear end mounting bracket has rectangular openings (C, at right) for
    accepting roller spear. To engage operator end bracket flange (above the
    two channels in the top of the screen housing), rotate bracket approximately 45°
    counterclockwise to allow top surface of operator bracket to rest flat against
    top inside housing.
    Please Note: Install the roller level using the corresponding “C” spring operator slot.

  4. Rotating the bracket clockwise until it engages in the channel, slide it along
    the length of the housing toward the left end, leaving approximately 3/4″ (19mm)
    clearance between bracket and endcap.

  5. Tighten the set screws on the bracket flange using 1/8″ (3mm) hex key.

  6. Engage the idler end bracket (nylon bushing) in the same manner as the spear end
    bracket and slide toward opposite end of screen housing. Do not tighten the set
    screws on this bracket until the roller/fabric assembly is installed.
    Caution: Step 7 requires two people to perform safely.

  7.  Locate the roller/fabric assembly and remove the retaining clip and flat washer
    from the idler end pin, and remove retaining clip from the spear. Remove
    brackets from roller. Lift roller/fabric assembly into screen housing and engage
    the spear of the roller completely into the spear mounting bracket.
    For Auto Return ONLY:
    • 13/4″ (44mm) diameter roller: Arrow imprinted on the spring end of the roller
    must point UP. Use the slot closest to the edge of the bracket.
    • 21/4″ (57mm) or 3″ (76mm) diameter roller: Notch cut out on the spring end
    of the roller must point DOWN. Use the appropriate slot.

  8. Support idler end of roller and slide mounting bracket toward roller. Insert roller pin into nylon bushing on idler bracket.

  9. Roller idler pin goes through idler bracket. Reinstall washer.

  10. Install the retaining clip on the spear, locking spear and bracket together.
    Caution: Failure to replace washer and retaining clip could result in
    separation of roller from brackets.

  11. Center roller/fabric assembly by sliding mounting brackets left or right.

  12. Securely tighten set screws on the idler end mounting bracket

  13. Attach door support brackets.

  14. Reinstall bottom access panel as previously described.
