IMPORTANT

• Please ensure that the upper and lower mounting brackets are installed at the correct distance and in the correct position.
• Use the appropriate screws for installation according to the type of wall material.
• For wooden walls, use tapping screws; for concrete walls, use tapping screws with an expansion fixture.
• Failure to use the correct screws may result in improper installation or damage to the wall or product. After installation, verify that the screen is level and flat on both sides.
• Ensure that the screen is properly aligned and securely fastened to prevent any potential issues or damage.

Wall or Ceiling Installation

Step 1: Choose Your Mounting Location

• Before installation, determine the optimal mounting location for your cassette.
• For a secure and level installation, install the brackets between 1" and 8" from each side of the cassette.
• When ceiling mounting, it may be necessary to adjust the brackets by shimming one down to ensure proper alignment.
• To achieve a sturdy and stable installation, mount the brackets to a stud for wall mounting or a joist for ceiling mounting.

WARNING

Mounting location and hardware for ceiling, flown, and wall brackets must be capable of handling a system weight of 55 pounds.

Step 2: Prepare the Bracket Latch

• Ensure the bracket latch is fully down by loosening the locking screw.

Step 3: Hang and Secure the Cassette

• To secure the casing, place the two ends of the casing flatly onto the bracket, ensuring proper alignment.
• Then, push the casing into the bracket until the locking tooth engages.
• You will hear a distinct locking sound when the casing is securely fixed onto the bracket.
• Once locked, tighten the lock screw to complete the installation.
• Please refer to the following illustration for guidance.

NOTE

To remove the screen, first loosen the locking screw, hold the release latch down, and pull the screen away then down from the bracket.

Using the “Flown” Mount

Step 1: Install the Flown Adaptor

• Insert the locking plate into the slotted flown adaptor and install through the bottom of the wall/ceiling bracket.
• Secure by using the included M5 x 10 screws. (Applies to both brackets.)

Step 2: Position Cables and Anchors

• Cables and anchors should be mounted to fall within 2.5" and 9.5" from the left and right edge of the cassette.

NOTE

Though the bracket supports flown mount, Screen Innovations does not include cable, anchors, or rigging hardware.

Step 3: Install the Cassette onto Flown Brackets

• Install the brackets onto the cassette and fully tighten the locking screws.
• To secure the casing, place the two ends of the casing flatly onto the bracket, ensuring proper alignment.
• Then, push the casing into the bracket until the locking tooth engages.
• You will hear a distinct locking sound when the casing is securely fixed onto the bracket.
• Once locked, tighten the lock screw to complete the installation.
• Please refer to the following illustration for guidance.

Daily Care

• To enjoy the best viewing experience, retract the screen into the casing when not in use.
• Before retracting the screen, check the front and back sides of the material to ensure the surface does not contain dust, insects, or debris.
• If anything of concern is found, use a soft cloth and gently clean the surface before retracting.

Screen Cleaning

• To remove markings caused by debris, gently clean the affected area on the casing or material with warm water mixed with mild detergent.
• Afterward, use a clean cloth to gently towel dry the area. Do not let the material air dry after cleaning.

WARNING

Please avoid using any solvent, chemical liquid, or frictional cleaner, as these can cause permanent damage to the material.
