A:  Please click here to view the Electric Screens Accessories chart.

A: You can extend the length of your accessory using the ZSP-12V-50B. This 50 feet RJ-45 cable also includes an extender plug coupler to allow you to join connections to your existing accessory

A:  There's a couple of suggestions.

  1.  If controlling your screen’s drop and rise with a light switch, we offer our (ZIW) integrated wall switch that will work just fine with your electric projection screen.
  2. To operate the projection screen using the 12-Volt trigger,  We recommend connecting the trigger’s RJ45 connection to your projector since it was designed solely for that purpose. Running the 12-Volt trigger through an AC/DC converter will likely not work and may even prove harmful to your product or the projector screen’s main board, so we strongly advise against experimentation with mismatched accessories doing what they were not designed to do.

A: The maximum distance is 300 feet of extension RJ-45 cable.

 

A: See diagram below for wiring information.

A: Yes, version 2.0 screens have a reset button located on the circuit board which helps eliminate RF interference. Please Click Here for instructions on how to locate the circuit board on your screen.

A: Regarding the amperage of Elite’s 5-12V Triggers, their transistor pulls (3.3V)) to MCU GPIO.

This means that the RF remote input is 12V and the driving Amp is :2mA. Through the RJ45 port, the input is 12V，and the driving amp is: 1mA.

A: Yes there is. You will need to splice your USB cable with an RJ45 cable. A USB has 4 wires, but you will only need the red and black. Splice them to the RJ45 orange and green wires and connect the USB. See diagram below for reference.

NOTE: If you are using your own RJ45, please use Pin 7 and 8 (Brown Pair Wire). Click here for Color Codes

Remotes Control

A: The IR remote is an InfraRed remote.  Infrared is based on the "light" part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The RF remote is a Radio Frequency remote.  Radio frequency is based on the "radio" section of the electromagnetic spectrum.
While the IR remote control requires direct aim to the receiver in order for the signal to be received, the RF remote control can be pointed in any direction to function as long as the signal is within range

The frequency of the RF remote is 433MHz

A: The ouput voltage is 3 volts and the wattage is 3 milliwatts

 

A: If your RF remote control does not work with your screen, try the following to get in synced. See below for instructions.

Make sure new batteries or working batteries are in your RF remote control before proceeding with the steps.
