Kestrel Tab-Tension 2 CLR® Series | Controls and Accessories
Included with rechargeable remote version only
SCREEN OPERATION
Electric Current: Depending on your region, the screen will operate in either 110v or 220v voltage.
- After ensuring the power outlet & screen are compatible (voltage), plug the power cord into the power outlet.
- Once the screen has power, you’ll be able to control it using any of the 4 methods described below.
4 ways to control your Kestrel Tab-Tension 2 CLR® Screen
- Manual Operation Switch: The left side of the screen’s housing includes a UP/STOP/DOWN switch to raise, lower, and stop the screen without the use of the RF/IR remote.
- RF Remote Control (Item A): The RF (A) remote is best used when the screen is concealed or when long-distance control is required.
- The RF technology therefore is more versatile as it does not require line of sight to operate the screen.
- IR Remote Control (Item B) and IR Eye Receiver (Item C): The IR remote (B) requires a direct line of sight through the screen’s IR receiver.
- Place the IR Eye Receiver (C) in a suitable location free from obstruction. Then point the IR remote to the IR Eye receiver to operate the screen. IR Eye Receiver has been installed inside the housing on the left side (power terminal side)
- USB RF wireless trigger (Item D): The RF wireless trigger (D) can synchronize your projector’s power cycle to the screen’s UP/DOWN operation.
The trigger has been synchronized to your electric screen.
- Connect the RF wireless trigger to the projector’s USB port.
- Make sure to enable this feature if needed in your projector’s menu settings.
- Power ON the projector. The screen should raise (up) the screen automatically.
- Power OFF the projector. The screen should descend (down) the screen automatically.
NOTE
- When powering off the projector, ensure it is completely powered off (ex. fan off), then the screen will retract automatically.
- If the motorized screen does not automatically drop or retract, repeat the process from step one.
- Remote control battery operated and charging instructions:
Note: One or the other type is included not both types.
Rechargeable version
Charge the RF or IR remote by plugging the Micro USB Charging cable (Item E) into any USB power source and the left side of your RF or IR Remote Control. While charging, you will see a solid red light above the touch-sensitive buttons. For your convenience, you may use the remote while it charges. Note: The red light may dim while charging.

Notice to Installer
PROPER PROJECTOR PLACEMENT
The CLR® 3 is exclusively for tabletop/bottom-mounted ultra-short throw projectors. See the illustrations below for limits and criteria. Tabletop mounted ultra-short throw projection illustration
IMPROPER PROJECTOR PLACEMENT
- Overhead placement or a standard throw projector will make the image very dark on account of the screen’s absorbent layer deflecting light that is not aligned with its reflective angle. 1)
- Ceiling-mounted Ultra-short throw projector illustration.
- Ceiling mounted Short and Standard throw Projector Illustration.
Note

ANTI-PINCH SAFETY FEATURE
