Screen Operation

Electric Current: Depending upon region, your Elite ProAV™ screen will operate on 100v, 110v or 220v voltage.

1. After ensuring the power outlet & screen are compatible (voltage), plug the power cord into the power outlet.
2. Once the screen has power, you'll be able to control it using any of the 6 methods described below.

6 ways to control you Planate Tab-Tension

1. IR Remote Control (Item A, Fig 1): The Infrared functions by direct line of sight contact with a beam range of 30 feet. Aim the IR remote and the circular window on the left side of the screen.
2. RF Remote Control (Item B): The radio waves eliminate the need for a direct line of sight with a range of 100 feet.
3. IR "Eye" Receiver (Item E, Fig 2): The IR "Eye" Receiver plugs directly into the screen's RJ45 input port to present a low profile line-of-sight control option for your IR remote control in a concealed recessed in-ceiling installation.
4. On-Wall Keypad Switch (Item C, Fig 3): The 3-way wall switch is a wall mount control box with an up/stop/down button and plugs directly into the screen's RJ-45 input

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.

1. 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.

Here's how to set up your 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.

Step 2: Connect the other 3.5 mm end of the wireless 5-12 volt trigger cable to your projector

Step 3: Make sure to unplug your screen from the power outlet

Step 4: Hold the UP button on your RF remote

Step 5: While holding the UP button, plug the screen back to the power outlet

Step 6: Wait 5 seconds and then release the UP button

Step 7: Your 5-12V wireless trigger should now be activated with your screen and ready to be used and able to control your screen with your projector's power cycle

Repeat the steps again if not successful.

(Please be aware, the projector on/off cycle may take longer to fully activate. It usually takes around 20-30 seconds for full off and on cycle each time)
