8) You can slide the case on the wall to make sure it's where you want. 
 
9) When it's where you want, there are six screws along the bottom of the case.  Tighten these so that 
the screen will be securely affixed to the DIN rail. 
 
10) Remove the foam wrap off the case. 
 
11) Note there are several pieces of tape and things that keep the 
materials where they should be.  First, undo the blue velcro straps 
you see on each end.  These keep the weight bar happy during 
shipment, but 

must

 be taken off prior to operating the screen. 

 
12) We tie small black strings in each corner that attach the black 
backing layer to the weight bar.  This ensures that it will retract 
properly from the case.  Leave these alone, but it’s a good idea to 
reach up and pull down the black backing material in the middle 
and make sure it's down and will drop freely.  You really want to 
make sure it's free to drop before you hit the remote.  Getting that layer backwards-wound in the case 
is a disaster. 
 
13) Don't worry about the tape on the weight bar.  You can get that off after you drop the screen.  After 
you are sure the black backing is free to drop and all other blue bits are off the screen, plug it in and hit 
the down button. 
 
14) Check that the lower limit is ok, remove any remaining blue bits. 
 
15) Check the vertical turnbuckles at the weight bar.  Make sure they’re not bound up, either with the 
cables twisted at the top of the eyelet, or the threads on the bar.  If they are, the bar will be artificially 
lifted, resulting in waves.  Straighten any twisted cable and wiggle the bar to get it off the threads.   
 
16) Check how the vertical cable and turnbuckles retract up into the screen case.  You want them to 
easily retract up into the case, without getting caught or hung up on either the front side of the case 
near the foam strip, or the back side.  If you hear any “clunk” sound, or see the motor bog down before 
the screen is all the way up, check that these turnbuckles aren’t getting hung up.  The fix is to just grab 
the metal portion of the weight bar and rotate a few degrees to better align the turnbuckles into the slot. 
 
17) Dial in your projector, go pop that popcorn, and enjoy! 
 

 

Ceiling Mount 

4) Look on the top side (since it's a ceiling mount) and you'll see the metal DIN rail that will mount to the 
wall.  The front side of the rail is painted to match your case color.  There are two screws fixing this into
