OPTIONAL VIDEO INTERFACE CONTROL SYSTEM (VICS)
The Stewart Filmscreen VICS was developed as an aftermarket version of the factory installed
Screen Trigger Interface (STI). It works in exactly the same manner as the STI, except it is installed
in an outboard fashion (black box). When operational, a 5 to 12-volt DC applied current to the
VICS will signal the screen or panels to deploy. (Use the optional supplied wall transformer if a 5
to 12-volt signal is not available.) When the trigger signal is terminated, the screen or panels will
retract.
Making the connection
1. Connect the motor leads to the terminal block per color code (see Figure 14). A 4 conductor
18 ga. (minimum) Romex cable or electrical service cord (SJO) is advised for this connection.
Use the supplied wire nuts for connecting the motor leads to this cable.
2. Connect a 2 conductor (Approx. 22 ga.) wire from the 5 to 12-volt DC trigger output of your
projector. Use the supplied 3.5-mm phono plugs to terminate the ends of the wire. The tip of
the plug is positive.
3. Next, plug in the main AC power cord to a standard 120 VAC (constant) outlet.
4.
The VICS is now
ready for use. The LED will
indicate when the 5 to 12
volts are present and the
roller will deploy. The LED
will stay on after the roller
stops at its down setting.
When the 12-volt signal is
terminated, the LED will go
out and the roller will
retract. If masking panels
are operating (closing)
without a trigger signal,
simply reverse the
direction leads (black &
red) at the terminal block.
