5. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the screen's performance and longevity. This screen can be mounted on a wall or ceiling.
5.1 Mounting Location Selection
- Choose a location with a flat, sturdy surface capable of supporting the screen's weight.
- Ensure there are no obstructions for the screen's up and down movement.
- Consider the projector's throw distance and angle for optimal image alignment.
- Ensure a power outlet is within reach of the screen's power cable.
5.2 Mounting the Screen
The screen offers two primary mounting methods: hanging rings for ceiling/hook mounting and mounting holes for direct wall/ceiling attachment.
- Marking: Hold the screen in the desired position and mark the locations for the mounting points. Use a level to ensure the screen is horizontal.
- Drilling: Drill appropriate holes for your chosen mounting hardware (screws, anchors, hooks - not included). Ensure the holes are deep enough and suitable for the wall/ceiling material.
- Securing: Attach the screen securely using the chosen method. For hanging rings, ensure the hooks are robust. For direct mounting, use strong screws through the mounting holes.
