About your Stealth Trapdoor Electriscreen

Your Stealth Trapdoor Electriscreen offers the most technologically advanced
trapdoor roller screen in the world. The hingeless door is powered by its own
motor. Sound dampers ensure quiet operation.  

Preparing the installation

Specifications regarding the individual screen dimensions, weight, mounting
type, and controls are provided by the factory when the unit is ordered. Before
beginning the installation:

‹

Check the specifications for the type of mounting and switch control
to be used. 

‹

Ensure that the mounting area and electrical connection are
prepared.

‹

Check the size and weight of the screen to be installed so that you
can plan for the number of people required for the mounting
procedure. You need at least two people to mount the smaller
screens; more are needed for larger, heavier screens.

You will need:

‹

Enough ladders for the personnel supporting the screen during the
mounting process

‹

A level

‹

Fasteners appropriate for the surface on which the screen is being
mounted (See instructions for the type of mount for
recommendations.)
