4. Pre-Installation
Before installing the projection screen, review this section thoroughly to be sure that no additional work is needed
to prepare the job for mounting and controlling the screen.
4.3. Powering the Screen
Operating Voltage: 120 Volts AC
Amperage: .85 Amps
The screen has a ve foot power cable permanently attached to the left side of the screen as seen from the
viewing area. Install or locate a receptacle close enough to plug the screen in prior to installation.
4.5. Control Method
Dragony motorized screens can be controlled via manual wall switch, IR remote, 12 volt trigger, or RS232.
Complete instructions for each method are described in the Control Setup section (Page 9). Decide on the
method that will be used before installation begins to avoid any issues with control later. Pre-wire any cables from
projectors or control systems prior to closing the walls or ceiling.
4.2. Unpacking the Projection Screen
As you unpack the projection screen:
• Remove all accessories from the box before
discarding any packaging. Use the Package Contents
section to verify that everything has been removed.
• After the screen is removed from the packaging, be
sure to remove the screws holding the bottom rail of
the screen in the housing.
• While unpacking and preparing the projection screen
for installation, take note of the location of the
adjustment screws and grommet as it may be difcult
to locate them after the screen is hung from the mounting brackets.
• Do not turn the adjustment screws until the screen is mounted and ready to be adjusted.
4.1. Required for Installation
Have an assistant help with installation to prevent damage or injury. The following tools will be needed to complete
the installation:
• Phillips Screwdriver
• 2 Step Ladders
• Electric or Cordless Drill
• Marker
• Level
• 7/32” Masonry Drill Bit to install 8mm concrete anchors
• 5/32” Drill Bit to install 6mm Wall Switch Screw anchors (optional)
4.4. Mounting Considerations
The design of the brackets allows for wall, ceiling, or hanging mounting. Plan the nal height of the screen’s
viewing surface prior to installation. Make sure there is enough room for the screen to hang freely below the
mounting location when extended.
Warning! The building structure and material in the mounting location must be capable of safely supporting
the weight of the projection screen. Included hardware is only meant for use with wood, surfaces with
wood bracing behind them, or concrete surfaces. Conrm with an engineer or contractor that the building
material will safely support the weight of the screen using the included mounting hardware.

5. Installation
5.1.1. Mounting Brackets
Top of Screen Housing Will Be Here
Top of Brackets Must Be Level
Approximate Distance = Screen Housing Width Minus 8"
The mounting rail allows the mounting brackets to attach anywhere on the screen housing, but they should
be about 4” from each end to ensure that vibration or noise is prevented during operation.
1. Measure the width of the Projector Screen Housing (Dim. “B” in Section 12. Screen Dimensions and Weight)
and subtract 8” to estimate the distance the brackets should be mounted apart.
2. Mark the location of one bracket on the mounting surface, and measure over to the planned location of the
second bracket. Adjust the general location of each bracket to allow for both to mount securely to wood or
concrete. Be sure that wall-mounted brackets are level before installation.
3. Mark the screw holes for each bracket and install them:
Mounting to Wood Joists or Studs
Use the included mounting screws to secure the projector
mount brackets to the surface.
• No pre-drilling is necessary for most applications.
• Use 4 of the 8 included screws to mount each bracket
as pictured.
Mounting to Concrete Ceiling or Wall
Use the included anchors for the mounting holes and install
the screws into the anchors.
• Use a 7/32” masonry bit to drill a hole for each screw.
• Insert the anchors into the holes until they are ush.
• Do not install anchors into mortar joints.
• Use 4 of the 8 included screws to mount each bracket
as pictured.
Warning! If holes are pre-drilled, use no larger
than a 5/32” bit. Larger holes will not properly
grip the threads, and the projection screen
could fall.

5.1.2. Hanging Mount
This screen includes optional adapters for converting the projector mounting brackets into hanging brackets. To
hang the projection screen, a suspension system (not included) must be installed and attached to the ceiling
structure that is rated for use in the location. Consult with local building code enforcement to determine the best
suspension method to use before installing the screen.
1. Install suspension system per manufacturer
instructions and local building codes.
2. Assemble each bracket according to the illustration.
Pull the adapter up through the bottom and insert
the screws from the top. Tighten the screws
securely.
a. For 123” and smaller models, there are three
screws to attach each adapter.
b. For 130” and above screens, there are two
screws to attach each adapter.
3. Hang one bracket from the suspension system at
the desired height.
4. Using a level, attach the second bracket to the
suspension system at the same height as the rst
bracket.

5.2. Installing the Screen on the Brackets
After the brackets are installed, have an assistant help lift and mount the projection screen.
5.3. Test the Screen
After the screen is secured to the mounting brackets, the unit can be tested. First, make sure the bottom bar of the
screen is moving freely in the housing. If the packing screws/tape were not removed prior to installation, they must
be removed before trying to move the screen position.
At the left bottom side of the screen housing, nd the manual test switch. Press the switch once and the screen
should begin moving. If nothing happens, make sure that 120 Volts AC is present at the plug being used.
Allow the screen to move down until it stops on its own, then press the button again. The screen should close
and stop with the bottom bar back in the original position. If everything is working correctly, continue with the
installation. For any issues see the Troubleshooting section on page 13.

6.2. IR Control (With Optional IR Receiver Extension)
The IR receiver built into the front of the screen works with remotes up to 26ft away at a maximum angle of 30°.
The included external IR receiver can be connected to the EXT IR port if additional range is needed.
To use the external receiver, plug it into the screen and have an assistant hold the receiver in different mounting
locations until the remote works reliably from where it will be used most. Mount the IR receiver using the adhesive
foam tape on the back.
Note: The included external IR receiver is proprietary to Dragony projection screens. Other IR receivers will not
work correctly.
6.3. 12 Volt DC Trigger Cable
Screens may be lowered and raised by 12 volt trigger signal sent from other equipment like a projector. A propri-
etary, 33ft cable is included for connecting a standard 1/8” (3.5mm) mono mini 12 volt trigger port to the TRIG port
of the projection screen.
12 volt trigger operates by sending a 3-12V DC signal to the screen when the projector turns on. The screen will
lower and remain lowered until the projector is turned off and the voltage drops to 0v (zero).
Other control methods may be used with 12V trigger. However, the screen will remain lowered for use if voltage is
present on the trigger while an attempt is made to close the screen.
Important! The projection screen still requires external AC power for operation. The 12 volt trigger connection will
NOT power the screen. Plug the AC power cord into a suitable outlet supplying 120V AC.
6.4. Manual Wall Switch
The included wall switch may be surface mounted near the projection screen for manual control. A 10ft RJ12 cable
is included to connect the switch to the screen. This cable may be replaced with a custom Cat5e/6 cable if longer
runs are required due to the location of the switch. See the next page for complete instructions.
6.5. RS232 Serial Control
Pins 1 and 2 on the EXT CTRL port may be connected to a control system serial output for one-way control.
Please see the DFM Motorized Screen Control Protocol for driver and command information, available on the Sup-
port tab at the DFM-NTT product page at www.SnapAV.com. The diagram illustrating the correct pins to use for
RS232 and instructions to extend the wiring from the screen to the control system are on the following page.
6.6. Contact Closure/Relay Control
The Dragony motorized screen may also be controlled via contact closure or relay control. Using the same
conductors that are used for the wall switch, momentarily short the Common wire to the Up, Down, or Stop
wire for the desired operation. The diagram illustrating the correct pins to use and instructions to extend the wiring
from the screen to the control system are on the following page.

6.8. Extending Control Wiring
6.8.1. Wall Switch
1. Run a Cat5e/6 cable from the projection screen EXT CTRL port to the switch location. Install the cable into the
wall at the switch location, and cut a 1” hole at the desired switch height. Pull about 6” of cable out of the hole
for attachment to the wall switch.
2. Remove the knockout from the switch back-box and mount it over the cable with the RJ12 port opening pointing
down. Use the supplied screws and anchors to secure it to the wall.
3. Cut the RJ12 control cable. Leave about 12” of cable attached to the connector. Splice four of the Cat5e/6
conductors to the appropriate wires as shown above at the projection screen. Then, plug the RJ12 into the EXT
CTRL port. Insulate the ends of the unused RJ12 conductors 1 and 2 to prevent short circuits.
4. Strip the insulation from each of the four conductors used in the Cat5e/6 cable about ¼”. Locate the press-t
connector on the switch assembly and terminate the conductors as shown above. Make sure to match the pin-
out correctly between the screen and the wall switch.
5. Mount the wall switch to the back-box so that the up and down buttons face the right directions.
6.8.2. Contact Closure or RS232 Control
1. Run a Cat5e/6 cable from the control system processor location to the projection screen.
2. Cut the RJ12 cable and leave about 12” of cable attached to the connector.
3. Terminate conductors in the Cat5e/6 to the desired pins of the RJ12 connector as shown in the diagram above.
Insulate the ends of the unused RJ12 conductors to prevent short circuits.
4. Terminate the same conductors to the appropriate wires on the RS232 port or contact/relay connection of the
control system processor.
