OPERATING AND CARE OF YOUR SCREEN
- Operation of the screen systems should only be performed by responsible parties.
- Always check the path of the Solo 3 screen before operating to ensure that the path is clear of furniture or obstacles that could prevent full operation.
- Monitor the Solo 3 screen for smooth operation through its entire range.
- Operating a Solo 3 screen unattended may lead to damage from obstructions or other causes.
- Fabric maintenance and cleaning– Solo 3 screen fabric is subject to debris under normal use or in storage, requiring occasional maintenance and cleaning.
- While fading and wear over time are normal, debris could accelerate this wear.
- Screen fabrics can be cleaned with water and a mild soap.
- Scrubbing with a bristle brush or pad is not recommended.
BEFORE PROCEEDING
For best results, read the instructions in their entirety before proceeding with assembly. Actions contrary to the instructions invalidate the warranty and may result in serious damage and/or injury.
Preparing for Installation:
It is crucial that all installations are planned out carefully before specifying a screen order and assembly.
Before installation, Bracket/Mounting method and Assembly Installation method must be identified.
- Do not use a knife to cut foam or wrapping, as this may damage the shade including, but not limited to, the cassette, fabric tube, and material roll.
- The tube may shift within the cassette during shipping; open the cassette with care.
- Unpacking the box – lay cassette, fabric tube, and material roll on a soft, clean surface during the installation process.
- When removing from the box, ensure the assembly is kept horizontal to prevent damage.
- Screen Innovations recommends METHOD 2 (removal of the material roll before installation) when installing the Solo 3 screen for better control and safety of the material inside.
- When removing material from the cassette, use at least two people to lay material down on a clean, flat surface, such as a blanket or sheet.
- When utilizing either method, especially METHOD 1, make certain there are enough installers/ hoisting equipment to safely lift the cassette (and/or material) onto the brackets.
- Brackets must be level and in-line with one another before attempting to lift cassette onto brackets. Use safe lifting and rigging techniques.

Step 1
✅: FOR LOW VOLTAGE SCREENS
- Terminate pre-wire with the supplied terminal block.
Step 2
SPACER BLOCKS (Optional)
- Used to clear an obstruction in the screen or screen material path. Before installing, connect spacer blocks to screen brackets.
⚠️: Do not use more than four (4) spacer blocks per bracket
Step 3
BRACKET PLACEMENT
- The recommended position for the box bracket is 2–4” from the end caps.
✅: Installing the wall brackets as close to the end of the cassette as possible ensures better stability of the screen.
Step 4
- To install the screen, start with the wall bracket lever pointed down in the unlocked position.
Step 5
TERMINATIONS for LOW VOLTAGE 485 MOTORS WITH MOAB
- Ensure the terminal blocks are plugged in and installed in the brackets.
Step 6
HANGING THE SCREEN
- Locating the channel running along the back of the screen, hook the channel onto the wall brackets.
Step 7
LOCKING THE BRACKETS
- Reaching under the cassette, move levers up into the locked position, keeping the screen secure
Step 8
REMOVING THE WEIGHT BAR SHIPPING BRACKETS
- Remove the Secure tape
- Lower the screen using the Moab. Now slide the brackets off the weight bar as shown.

Step 10
WIRING - 485 MOTOR WITH MOAB
- If the screen is wired with wired communication or 485 control, it will include a motor control board, Moab.
- This control board allows for setting limits and/or controlling the screen.
- Typically, this board is located in the head end/equipment location.
- See the wiring chart on page 11 to determine maximum wire length.
Step 11
WIRING - 485 MOTOR WITH MOAB
- Upper and lower limits are already factory-set.
- Once all connections are made including the power supply, you may now adjust the lower limits using the Moab control board.
- Once all adjustments are made and finalized, the Moab may now be placed in a convenient location for the install.
- Third party control such as Dry Contact closures, 12v Triggers, Serial Connections, and Infrared may now be integrated with Moab.

✅: The Solo 3 can also be mounted without removing the roll, Click Here to skip to Installing the Cassette
⚠️: If drilling through the cassette is required, the cassette must be square or the door will not line up, causing poor operation.
⚠️: Electrical work should be performed following appropriate electrical codes and regulations by a licensed electrical professional.
⚠️: Use fasteners appropriate for the structure the Solo 3 Screen will be mounted to.
⚠️: Do not use any sharp blades when opening the packaging.
Step 1
UNPACKING
- Starting with the cassette on a soft, clean surface, remove the screws from the fascia door and open to reveal the inside.
- Remove both of the exposed red weight bar clips (2) by removing the attached screws from the 2 brackets.
Step 2
MATERIAL ROLL REMOVAL
- Undo the silver safety screws, then press the latch as shown.
- Using the red straps, loop the straps under the material roll, being careful to avoid contact with the material or any obstructions.
- With the help of the straps on both the ends, slowly pull out material roll and set it aside.
- Remove the clips from the end of the weight bar, and attach the magnetic end caps
Step 3
INSTALLING THE CASSETTE
⚠️: Installation requires two or more people and/or hoisting equipment.
⚠️: Please use safe lifting and rigging techniques.
Wall Mount
Ceiling Mount
- Lift and secure the cassette onto the brackets.
- Once the bracket engages, the cassette will “click” into place.
Step 4
RE-INSTALLING THE MATERIAL ROLL
- With the cassette mounted, open the door and slide the material roll with mounting plates on each end into the cassette.
- Each end will “click” into place as the brackets engage.
⚠️: The roll must remain level while installing into the cassette.
- Fasten the silver safety screws on the mounting plates to secure the material roll.
- Plug motor power cable into the barrel connector located in the cassette.
⚠️: This step is required for safety. Back safety screws out before installation. Must be re-engaged after installing material roll.
Step 5
INSTALLING THE FASCIA DOOR
- To close the fascia door, set the door into the cassette; the door will hook in by gravity.
- Secure with screws.
Step 6
MOAB and Wiring
INSIDE CASSETTE WIRING – 24V DC
- Terminate the wires using the provided terminal block, shown below.
