Installation Instructions for Alpine and Alpine XL Projection Screens

Caution

1. Read Instructions through completely before proceeding; keep them for future reference.

Follow these instructions carefully.

2. Before removing your screen from its packaging, check for damage and make sure all parts are included.

3. Allow enough access to remove front cover should fabric become damaged and further service is required.

4. Screen should be installed level.

5. Nothing should fasten to the screen dowel or viewing surface.

6. Operating switch/switches are packed separately in screen carton. DO NOT DISCARD PACKING

MATERIAL WITHOUT REMOVING THE SWITCH!

7. Screen operated on 110-120V, 60Hz. 1.1 amp current draw.

PLEASE NOTE:

Screen has been thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory and found to be operating properly prior to shipment.

Hanging the Screen:

When locating viewing surface and checking clearance for screen operation, remember surface is centered in the length of the case. Regardless of mounting method used, the following points apply:

1. Mounting brackets are packed separately in carton. Engage each bracket with top of housing as shown below and tighten set screws. A bracket should be within 18” of each end of screen case. Brackets can be removed and case mounted with lag screws through top of case (holes drilled on site.)

2. Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or even abusive pulling on viewing surface will not weaken installation.

3. Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and suitable for the mounting surface

4. Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after installation is complete. chosen. Supporting hardware (chains, cables, ⅜” rods, etc.) must be essentially vertical.

5. Front, back and top of case must be straight-not forced to warp or bow.

6. If case is painted on location, removal of roller/fabric assembly is recommended prior to painting. If not removed, slot on bottom of case should be shielded to protect viewing surface from paint splatters or overspray.

7. Do not seal unit in ceiling until electrical connections have been made and screen has been operated successfully.

Electrical Connections:

Screen operated on 110-120V, 60 Hz. Current. The junction box is located just above the bottom access panel at the left end of the screen (standard, right end may be specified.) Remove the bottom access panel for access to the junction box cover. (See Bottom Access Panel Removal instructions below.)

Remove four (4) hex head screws that secure the cover to the junction box to expose the red, black, and white pigtail leads and the green ground wire per the wiring diagram on page 11. If optional low voltage control or video interface control is specified and factory installed, please refer to the diagram on page 12. The screen is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch (es) fully boxed.

Wire to connect to switch (es) and switch (es) to power supply should be furnished by installer.

Connections should be made in accordance with attached wiring diagram, and wiring should comply with national and local electrical codes.

All Operating Switches should be in the “off” position before power is connected.

Bottom Access Panel Installation/Removal:

Bottom Access Panel hooks over the lower inside edge of the screen housing and then is pivoted downward until the engagement brackets on each end of the bottom panel click into place with the ball detents on each end cap. Make sure bottom access panel by pushing up at each corner of panel adjacent to slot in bottom of housing.

Points for panel removal.

Case as seen from below

Motorized Roller / Fabric Installation:

1. The bottom access panel must be removed first. The motor end mounting bracket has a metal bracket with a snap ring for accepting motor head. Back out the four set screws in the bracket until they are flush with the top side of bracket.

2. To engage the motor end bracket flange above the two channels in the top of the screen housing, rotate the bracket approximately 45

°

counterclockwise to allow the top surface of the motor bracket to rest flat against the top inside of the housing. Rotating the bracket clockwise until it is engaged with the channels, slide it along the length of the housing against the electrical junction box.

3. Engage idler end bracket (rectangular mounting pad) in the same manner as the motor end bracket and slide it towards the opposite end of the screen housing. Do not tighten set screws on this bracket until the roller/fabric assembly is installed, and centered in the case.

4. Locate the black washer and retaining clip attached to the instruction sheet.

5. Note: This step requires two (2) people to perform safely: Raise the roller/fabric assembly up into the screen housing and engage the head of the motor completely into the motor mounting bracket, making sure the snap ring engages with the motor and that the limit switch adjusting knobs are visible from the bottom of the screen housing.

6. While supporting the idler end of the roller, slide the idler end mounting bracket toward the roller. Insert the roller pin into the nylon bushing on the idler end of the mounting bracket. The roller idler pin needs to go through the idler bracket far enough to allow the washer and retaining clip to be reinstalled on the pin. Failure to replace the washer and retaining clip could result in separation of the roller from the brackets.

Motorized Roller / Fabric Installation:

The roller/fabric assembly and roller brackets may need to be slid left or right in the mounting channel of case to center fabric within the screen case.

Securely tighten the set screws on roller mounting brackets.

Connect the electrical plug from the motor to the mating socket on the junction box.

Reinstall the bottom access panel as previously described.

Motorized Roller / Fabric Removal:

Reverse the instructions above “Motorized Roller / Fabric Installation” for removal of the unit.

Operation:

When screen is first operated, be cautious!

Cycle the unit down and up several times to confirm satisfactory operation.

110-120V Single Station Control: 3-position UP-OFF-DOWN switch permits operation to be stopped at any point. Factory adjusted limit switches automatically stop screen when fully down or fully up.

110-120V Multiple Station Control: Switches are similar in appearance to 110-120V Single Station

Control. Screen stops when switch is released and may be restarted in either direction. Factory adjusted limit switches stop screen automatically when fully up or fully down.

24V Control: Three-button UP-STOP-DOWN switches stop at any point desired, operate in any sequence. Factory adjusted limit switches automatically stop screen when fully up or fully down.

Installer should incorporate an all-pole disconnect in the fixed wiring.

110-120V & 12V Video Interface Control: For the Alpine Only. Allows screen to be controlled by trigger signal-when the signal comes on, the screen descends automatically. Two versions: Model VIC115 integrates screen operation with a video projector lift or a video projector or tuner with a 110-120V switched outlet. Model VIC12 interfaces with a 12V switched outlet. Both available with an override switch (VIC-OS) permitting independent operation. VIC-OS not available with factory installed VIC115

& VIC12.

Key Operated Switching: Two kinds of key-operated switches are optionally available with this unit.

1. The key operated power supply switch controls power to the screen and switches. When it is “off” the switches will not operate screen. Key may be removed from the switch in either “on” or “off” position. 2. A three-position key switch permits the screen to be operated directly by key. In this case, the screen’s operator must always have the key.

RS232/Ethernet: Serial communication and network communication optionally available with wall switches, RF or IR Remote.

Limit Adjustments:

Tools needed: Flashlight, small flathead screwdriver/Allen wrench (4mm or 5/32”) Screen settings have been factory set as ordered and should not normally require further adjustment. However, if you find it necessary to adjust for more or less viewing area, proceed as follows:

CAUTION!

Always be prepared to shut screen off manually when new adjustment is being tested. Screen may be severely damaged if viewing surface is allowed to run too far up or too far down. When running up, the dowel should never wrap over the roller. When running to the down limit, a minimum of 1¼” wraps of fabric must remain on the roller. The motor limits are normally located on the audience left of the screen roller. Please note, if the screen is “Right Hand Motor” or “Waterfall”, the WHITE/DOWN and YELLOW/UP limit screws are reversed.




(800) 227-6602 (757) 873-0212 Fax

“Down” Limit Adjustment:

To Reduce Screen Drop:

1. Raise Screen Surface about 1’ above desired setting and turn off.

2. Turn the WHITE/DOWN limit screw clockwise (three screw turns=½ roller revolution.)

3. Test by running screen down and repeat steps 1 and 2 until desired position is reached.

To Increase Screen Drop:

1. Run Screen to the down limit.

2. With the down switch on, turn the WHITE/DOWN limit screw counterclockwise (three screw turns=½ roller revolution) to increase drop.

3. Test by running screen up about 1’ and back down to new down limit.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until desired position is reached.

Caution: At least 1¼” wraps of fabric must remain on the roller when the screen is at the down limit!

Screen is Running Too Far Up:

“Up” Limit Adjustment:

1. Lower screen surface about 1’ below desired setting and turn off.

2. Turn the YELLOW/UP limit screw clockwise (three screw turns=½ roller revolution)

3. Test by running screen up.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until desired position is reached.

Screen Needs to Run Up More:

1. Run screen down about 1’ and turn off.

2. With the up switch on, turn the YELLOW/UP limit screw counterclockwise (three screw turns=½ roller revolution.)

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until desired position is reached.

Caution: Do NOT allow the dowel to wrap up over the roller when the screen is running up! This could damage the screen!

Limit Adjustments for Alpine XL:

1. Connect the ILT switch to the motor via the terminal blocks, or via the modular port using four conductor modular cable. When using modular cable, the cable connectors MUST

NOT be crimped in reverse, as with standard telephone cable.

2. Set the slide switch to the lower position. Press and hold the DOWN button on the switch to move the viewing surface to desired lower limit. If the screen moves the opposite direction, release the DOWN button and depress the STOP button. This will reverse the operation of the UP and DOWN switches.

3. Set the slide switch to the higher position. Move the viewing surface to the desired upper limit by pressing and holding the UP button on the switch.

4. Return the slide switch to the center position to return to normal operation.

5. To set the viewing surface to an alternate format position, move the viewing surface to the desired position and press the STOP button. Press and hold the STOP button for at least 3 seconds to record the position.
