Install motorised projection screen

When you find the point where joists are present, mark these sites with a pencil or pen. Now hold your drill machine tightly and carefully for its straight penetration in the pointed holes. After drilling, place your mounting brackets on the corresponding holes respectively.

Use them to fix the bracket with the ceiling joist and tight them by using a screw wrench carefully so they can hold the weight of your projector. Now you have to mount its display in the brackets; two persons can hold it from both sides then, with the help of stools. Then place its hooks in the mounting brackets and tight both sides by using screws. If you clench it loosely, your device may fall off, and scratches come on it. After placing its display in its place, now turn it on with the help of a proper electricity supply.

To power on, connect its switch with the socket and turn on its power button. Now your display is ready, and you can enjoy whatever you want to see in it.

You should understand the wiring of your electrical equipment to prevent any damage. I recommend using high-quality products, including wires.

If the electric socket is not near, you can use the extension wire. During the installation process, fingerprints come on its display; you can clean it with a soft cloth or a cleaning solution. Read the manual with full attention to understand its functioning; otherwise, it can result in the flickering of its screen. It is better to check the nuts and bolts and secure your product. Many people complain that the screen starts hanging from its site after a few days. This is common due to loose brackets and stripes.

Always tighten them and ensure that everything is fixed correctly. You can also use a chain of different lengths to cling a screen on the roof. You should use a high-quality chain that can bear the weight of your device. When you are not comfortable with seeing a movie for a long time; Then you should use a chain to slightly lower the device. To hang it, measures the distance between both the corners and mark them on your roof. Next, place crown bolts according to their measurement. After placing, secure them with a screw wrench.

Now take two chains of equal length, check their capacity to bear weight, and attach them carefully to the bolt.

The snap hooks are attached on both sides of the screen to hang it. Fix them with the hooks of the chain and tighten the screws. Purchasing your projector provides you with the benefits of enjoying different movies at home while sitting on your couch. You should install it on the ceiling because of its various benefits.

For example, You can close its screen when you are not using it to prevent scratches, dirt, and prints. In addition, you can use it while sitting at your place by using its remote controller. You can save your room space while mounting them on the ceiling. For example, your large TV table occupies more space so you can replace it with a screen.

It also looks attractive and increases your home decoration. When you are situating it on the table, it can cause an interruption while you are walking. It seems boring; when you are pausing your display again and again. When you place it on the ceiling, it will not cause distraction in the shadow. Placing it on the ceiling provides better ventilation and the crossing of air. The distance between the display and the wall is about 10 to 30cm.

These are great since you can take the screen down without removing any screws, it does however limit your screw choice to ones that will fit through the keyhole.

I fitted an appropriate screw in each side of the bracket and then did a test-hanging of the screen to make sure everything worked as planned. It all fitted perfectly so it was time to do some last finishing touches on the mounting brackets prior to doing the final install of the screen. I used sticky pads designed for use with cable ties zip ties along the back length of the screen assembly to keep the cables neat and hidden away.

I had already run a power cable through the wall with a junction box hidden behind the top of the screen. I lifted the screen on to the screws, hung through the keyhole mounts and then tidied up the cabling behind the screen using cable ties. The control unit was screwed to the ceiling next to the power junction box. I think most these days use RF wireless as opposed to IR infrared. This particular screen has two adjustment screws potentiometers if you want to be posh on the back of the unit to control the drop bottom height and top height of the screen, in other words so the screen knows when to stop.

On mine I wanted to have the same size black strip all around it as this looked the neatest. Skip to content. Watch the full video here:. Watch this video on YouTube. Concerned about privacy?
