4.2 Electrical Connection
Connect the screen's power cord to a standard grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the screen's requirements (typically 120V AC, 60Hz for North America).
4.3 Adjusting Vertical Limit Switches
The screen features built-in adjustable vertical limit switches to control the screen's fully extended (down) and fully retracted (up) positions. These are typically located on the motor housing or end cap of the screen casing.
- Lower Limit Adjustment: Use the remote or wall switch to fully extend the screen. If the screen extends too far or not far enough, locate the 'down' limit screw (refer to specific diagrams in the full product manual if available). Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the drop distance or counter-clockwise to increase it. Test the adjustment.
- Upper Limit Adjustment: Use the remote or wall switch to fully retract the screen. If the screen retracts too far into the casing or leaves a gap, locate the 'up' limit screw. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the retraction distance or counter-clockwise to increase it. Test the adjustment.
- Fine-tuning: Repeat adjustments as necessary until the screen stops precisely at your desired upper and lower positions.
