Frequently Asked Questions - CineTension 2 TE110HW2 Elite Screens

How do I install the CineTension 2 screen?

First, unpack the screen and handle it on a clean, level surface. Use the provided mounting hardware (dry-wall anchors, bolts, masonry screws, extruded hanging brackets) to attach the screen to the wall or ceiling. The screen can be flush-mounted or enclosed. Allow 2 inches of spacing between the front and back of the casing. Consult a professional installer for proper fasteners.

Can I adjust the tension strings?

Yes, the screen has adjustment knobs at the ends of the weight bar. Pull out the knob and rotate it to tighten or loosen the tension string. The direction depends on the wrapping thread. Be careful: loosening to maximum will lose all tension. Adjust only if necessary, as the screen is pre-tensioned for best performance.

How do I set up the wireless 5-12V trigger?

Connect the 3.5mm wireless trigger cable to the RF remote and to your projector. Unplug the screen from power. Hold the UP button on the RF remote, then plug the screen back in. Wait 5 seconds and release. If unsuccessful, repeat. The projector's on/off cycle may take 20-30 seconds to activate.

What voltage does the screen require?

The screen operates on 100V, 110V, or 220V AC depending on the region. Ensure your power outlet matches the screen's voltage rating before plugging in.

How can I control the screen?

You have six methods: IR remote (line-of-sight, up to 30 ft), RF remote (radio, up to 100 ft), 3-way wall switch (up/stop/down), 5-12V trigger (syncs with projector power cycle), wireless 5-12V trigger (programmable RF), and IR eye receiver for recessed installations.

What should I do if the screen doesn't respond?

Check that the power cord is securely connected and the outlet has continuous power. Ensure the voltage is compatible. Try the RF remote or wall switch as alternatives. If still unresponsive, contact Elite Screens Technical Support at [phone] Ext. 604.

Is there any black drop leftover in the roller?

No, the black top drop is already set to its maximum distance. There is no extra black top drop in the roller. Attempting to adjust it will void your warranty.

How do I clean the screen surface?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the screen. Avoid liquids, abrasive cleaners, or direct water. Keep the screen away from dust, sawdust, and stains during installation. Refer to the user manual for detailed care instructions.

What is the warranty on this screen?

Elite Screens offers a limited warranty. For warranty terms and conditions, visit www.elitescreens.com/warranty. Unauthorized modifications or exceeding the black top drop will void the warranty.

Can I mount this screen on a ceiling?

Yes, the CineTension 2 can be mounted to a ceiling using the provided extruded hanging brackets and hardware. The installer must ensure the fasteners are of adequate strength. A flush mount or enclosed installation is also possible.

Screen operation

Electric Current: Depending upon region, your Elite 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 your CineTension 2

2. IR "Eye" Receiver (Item E, Fig 2): The IR "Eye" Receiver plugs directly into the screen's RJ-45 input to present a low profile line-of-sight control option for your IR remote control even in a recessed ceiling installation.
3. RF Remote Control (Item B): The radio waves eliminate the need for a direct line of sight with a range of 100 feet.
4. 3-Way Wall 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 it drop/rise with the projector's power cycle.

Adjusting the Tension String

There are adjustment knobs located at the end of the weight bar of the screen. If for any reason the tension string(s) is loose, you can re-tension it by adjusting the tension string(s) knobs. The tension should be equally balanced in order to provide a flat, uniform projection surface.

Direction of wrapping thread: Adjusting Knob

Adjustment method: Pull out the adjusting knob and rotate it to tighten or loosen tension string. The direction to tighten/loosen the string will depend on the direction of the wrapping thread.

Attention: The string and screen will lose all tension if the string is loosened to its maximum. To reverse this, simply turn the knob in the opposite direction.

Attention: The screen's tension has been preset to achieve its best performance. The aforementioned adjustments are typically not required. Prior to making adjustments, please contact Elite Screens for assistance to avoid damaging the screen and voiding your warranty.
