SCREEN OPERATION

4 ways to control your Kestrel Tab-Tension 3 Screen
-
Manual Operation Switch: The left side of the screen’s housing includes a UP/STOP/DOWN switch to raise, lower and stop the screen without the use of the RF/IR remote.
-
RF Remote Control (Item A): The RF (A) remote is best used when the screen is concealed or when long-distance control is required. The RF technology therefore is more versatile as it does not require line of sight to operate the screen.
-
IR Remote Control (Item B) and IR Eye Receiver (Item C): The IR remote (B) requires a direct line of sight through the screen’s IR receiver. Place the IR Eye Receiver (C) in a suitable location free from obstruction. Then point the IR remote to the IR Eye receiver to operate the screen.
IR Eye Receiver has been installed in the housing -
RF wireless trigger (USB type) (Item D): The RF wireless trigger (D) can synchronize to your projector’s power cycle for easy operation. The trigger has been synchronized to your electric screen.
- Connect the RF wireless trigger into the projector’s USB port.
- Make sure to enable this feature if needed in your projector’s menu settings.
- Power ON the projector. The screen should raise (up) the screen automatically.
- Power OFF the projector. The screen should descend (down) the screen automatically.
NOTE
- When powering off the projector, assure it is completely powered off (ex. fan off), then the screen will retract automatically.
- If the motorized screen does not automatically drop or retract, repeat the process from step one.
CHARGING THE RF/IR REMOTE CONTROL
Charge the RF or IR remote by plugging the Micro USB Charging cable (Item
E) into any USB power source and into the left side of your RF or IR Remote
Control. While charging, you will see a solid red light above the touch
sensitive buttons. For your convenience, you may use the remote while it
charges. Note: The red light may dim while charging.
ANTI-PINCH SAFETY FEATURE
Prevent injury or damage to the screen when an object interferes with the
screen’s descent during its operation. The screen is equipped with an anti-
pinch safety feature which prevents the closing panel/lid from stopping when
it detects an object
