ABOUT VISIONARY 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Visionary is designed for ease of installation. The case can be installed separately during 

construction, and the screen assembly is then installed once the construction is completed. The 

Visionary features a seamless, self-finishing face-plate and drywall stops to accommodate various 

ceiling configurations.  

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 

 

Carefully read the instructions.  

 

This screen must be installed by a qualified electrician.  

 

For supply connections, use wires rated for at least 75 C.   

 

Use copper or aluminum conductors.   

 

For indoor use only.
