3. Installation method

3.1 Installation precautions

- Installation work should be carried out by a qualified technician in accordance with the instructions described below.

- Fixed installation of the screen should be done with use of the screws and anchors suitable for the ceiling materials at

the installation place. Anchors delivered with the Inceiling Kit are dedicated for concrete ceilings.

- Check carefully after installation if the screen is perfectly leveled. Do not roll out the screen not installed in horizontal

position. In case the screen leveling is not perfect correct the installation.

- When the distance between the real ceiling and the false ceiling is different than than 40cm metal rods of the ceiling brackets have to be modified before installation. You must cut or extend them to the required length. M8 extension rods are not part of the kit and should be purchased separately at the construction market. M8 nuts and bushings required for rod extension are bundled with the in-ceiling kit for this purpose.

!!! CAUTION!!! Check false ceiling leveling and flatness before begining screen installation. False ceiling must be

100% horizontal and flat, otherwise either screen operation will not be posible, either installation

appearance will be bad. Screen installation performed in the false ceiling not meeting requirements

described above will result in improper screen operation or physical projection surface damage.
