AB Electriscreen: Owner’s Manual

Installing the wireless remote control option

The optional Stewart Filmscreen wireless remote control allows control of
the screen from anywhere in the room. 

Note:

The distance between the hand-held remote control and the receiver

can be up to 50 feet / 15 m. It is not necessary to have uninterrupted line-
of-sight between the remote and the receiver, but there should be no metal
objects between them. The override switch on the bottom of the receiver
can be used instead of the remote control.

Preparing the connection

Before making the electrical connections, you need:

‹

An available AC power source installed near the screen

‹

A 4-conductor switch hook-up cable (4-conductor bell wire or
category 5 cable is typically used for long runs)

Making the connection

Figure 5 illustrates the connections.

1. Mount the wireless remote receiver module near the screen. 

2. Connect the 4-conductor hookup cable to the connection harness

coming from the J-box used for “switch input.”

3. Connect the hookup cable to the 3-button switch.

4. Connect the main AC power source to the AC J-box.

5. A parallel connection to an outboard audio-visual switching

network can be made at this time. (optional)
