Control box Fig.2 Sensor IR "eye" receiver

1. 5-12 volt trigger (Item D, Fig 4): The built-in 5-12V trigger input allows your screen to synchronize its drop & rise with the projector's power cycle. The screen deploys when the projector powers up and will retract when the projector powers down. The 5-12 volt RJ45 cable connects to your projector's trigger output via a separate cable that may or may not be provided by the manufacturer of the projector. The trigger feature will not work without an output cable from the projector, but it can be tested by connecting the Red (+) and Green (-) cable to a 9-volt battery.

6. Wireless 5-12 volt trigger (Item F, Fig 5): The RF

remote control serves as a dual purpose, independently as a handheld remote control, or in conjunction with the Wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable. The radio frequency technology can be programmed to send a wireless signal to synchronize its drop/rise with the projector's power cycle.

Wireless 5-12 volt trigger | Synchronization Instructions

Step1: Connect one end of the 3.5 mm wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to the RF remote.

Notice to Installer:

Please use the following installation instructions to obtain superior optical performance from the CineGrey 5D® Angular Reflective ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) Screen.

Make sure to follow these instructions in order for the CineGrey 5D® to perform correctly.

• Angular-Reflective material is not compatible with ultra/short-throw projectors
• Minimum lens throw ratio 1.5x image width
- Ambient light must not come from the same direction as the projector

Since angular-reflective means that the projected image will reflect at the mirror-opposite angle, it is important to position the projector so that the viewer will get the best possible image.

• Step 1: Establish the general "eye level" of the viewers
• Step 2: Set the appropriate projection level
• Step 3: Adjust the screen height level and projection angle Input Angle (A) = Output Angle (B) aligns with the viewer's angle

Correct Installation Examples

Projector Ceiling Installation: Make sure the projector (light in) is angled (A) to reflect (B) at the mirror-opposite angle (light out) to align with the viewer's eye level.
