5. Setup & Installation

The IC-A150 Motorized Slider Tray offers two primary installation methods. Choose the method that best suits your home theater setup.

5.1. Installation Method 1: Fixed at the Rear of the Cabinet (Wooden Cabinet Required)

1. Attach the short metal brackets to the long metal brackets using two M4*5 screws for each.
2. Fix the assembled metal brackets to the bottom of the slider tray using three M4*5 screws per bracket. Ensure the position of the bracket is adjusted according to your specific requirements.
3. Place the slider tray on top of your wooden cabinet, ensuring the end of the metal bracket is close to the rear of the cabinet.
4. Use four M4*16 self-tapping screws to securely fix the slider tray to the wooden cabinet through the metal brackets.

For a visual guide, please refer to the installation video below.

5.2. Installation Method 2: Wall Fixing

1. Attach the short metal brackets to the long metal brackets using two M4*5 screws for each.
2. Fix the assembled metal brackets to the bottom of the slider tray using three M4*5 screws per bracket. Adjust the bracket position as needed.
3. Place the slider tray on top of your cabinet and close to the wall. Mark the screw holes of the metal bracket on the wall using a marker. (4 holes are recommended for secure mounting).
4. Move the slider tray away from the wall. Drill holes in the marked positions on the wall (hole diameter 6mm).
5. Hammer the expansion tubes into the drilled holes.
6. Place the slider tray back on the cabinet, aligning the metal brackets with the drilled holes. Fix the expansion screws through the brackets into the expansion tubes.

Note: Wall installation provides auxiliary fixation and is not designed for load-bearing purposes. The primary support should come from the cabinet.

6. Operating Instructions

1. Power Connection: Connect the slider tray to its power adapter and plug it into an electrical outlet. Connect the signal cable from the slider tray's rear signal port to a USB port on your AWOL Vision projector.
2. Automatic Synchronization: When the projector is powered on, the slider tray will automatically expand to its last saved memory position. When the projector is powered off, the tray will automatically retract.
3. Setting Projection Distance:
   • Manually adjust the tray to your desired projection distance using the "Forward" and "Backward" buttons located at the rear of the slider tray.
   • Once the desired position is reached, release the buttons. The slider tray will automatically store this position in its memory after approximately 30 seconds.
