Installing the infrared remote control option
The optional Stewart Filmscreen infrared remote control allows control of
the screens 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 necessary to have uninterrupted line-of-
sight between the remote and the receiver.
Preparing the connection
Refer to the previous section “Installing the low-voltage 3-button switch
option.”
Making the connection
Figure 6 illustrates the connection.
1. Mount the low-voltage control box near the screen.
2. Mount the infrared (IR) eye sensor near the screen.
3. Connect the low-voltage control box to the screen by connecting
the screen motor power leads to the power strip terminal block
located on the circuit board of the control box.
4. Connect the IR eye sensor to the small black plug-in module
located next to the switch input on the circuit board.
5. Connect the low voltage control box to the AC power source by
connecting the AC line voltage to the power strip terminal block
located on the circuit board of the control box.
6. Connect the switch to the low-voltage control box.
