4 TO THEOWNER Congratulations on your purchase of one of the finest optical viewing screens available anywhere in the world! Please take a moment to review this manual, it will help ensure you many years of trouble-free service from your new Stewart Filmscreen product. About the ScreenWall Series Your Luxus ScreenWall or Deluxe ScreenWall fixed frame supports virtually all projection applications. The frame acts as a projection overscan border. The optional Velux finish is designed to absorb any overscanning. The screen fabric attaches to the back of the frame with snap fasteners. The ScreenWall Series also offers a wraparound option. The Deluxe ScreenWall features angled corners and a beveled edge that bring the image area closer to the frame. The Quick Snap features snaps and brackets that move on the frame to allow for adjustments. Rear projection is available as an option. The standard mount is a wall mount; other options include T-stand selfsupporting, stage fly (hanging), tilt, and aperture mounts. Using this manual for installation If you are using this manual to install the ScreenWall, you should be aware that it describes procedures for several types of frames and mounts. You must refer to the section for the type of ScreenWall you are installing. In addition, there are general instructions for attaching the screen to the frame that are provided in a separate section. This procedure is to be performed at a specific step in the overall sequence. For the frame and mount type, refer to the appropriate page: Wall mount (standard screen attachment) Wall mount (wraparound screen attachment) Stage fly (hanging mount) Quick Snap wall mount T-stand self-supporting Aperture mount Tilt frame Electric tilt At the designated point in the installation, you will need to refer to the general instructions for attaching the screen to the frame. 2 Stewart Filmscreen Corporation

5 GENERAL NOTES FOR PREPARING THE INSTALLATION Before proceeding with the installation of this screen, take time to thoroughly read and understand these installation and operation instructions. All electrical wiring installations must conform to local and national codes and should be performed by qualified service personnel. There are no user-serviceable parts contained within the unit. Preparation Specifications regarding the individual screen dimensions, weight, mounting type, and controls are provided by the factory when the unit is ordered. Before beginning the installation: Check the specifications for the type of frame and mounting to be used. For screens with a motor, prepare for electrical access. Make sure there is a clean surface on which to unroll the screen. Check the size and weight of the screen to be installed so that you can plan for the number of people required for the mounting procedure. You need at least two people to mount the smaller screens; more are needed for larger, heavier screens. You will need: Gloves, for handling the screen. Ladders for the personnel supporting the screen during the mounting process, as needed. A level. Fasteners appropriate for the surface on which the screen is being mounted (See instructions for the type of mount for recommendations.) Drills for making holes to attach brackets to the mounting surface, as needed. Tools for tightening fasteners. Note: Bolts and other fasteners for the screen are standard gauge and sizes used in the U.S., regardless of where they will be installed. For this reason, the sizes are expressed in inches rather than metric measurements. Unpacking Be sure to unpack carefully in a clean area. Use special care when handling the screen so that it does not become soiled or damaged. If you plan to repack your screen and hardware for transportation to another location, you may wish to photograph or make a note of how it was packed. Keep the packing material.
