Q: Where can I find the wired RJ-45 5-12 volt trigger adaptor pin-layout?
Q. Where can I find the wired RJ-45 5-12 volt trigger adaptor pin-layout?
The adaptor can easily be made by using a CAT-5 networking cable and a RJ-45 networking connector. See image below and please note that the RJ-45 is exclusively designed to be compatible with only a projector’s trigger output. Any other type of device’s trigger output that you choose to utilize with our product is to your own discretion and is not covered under warranty should there be any malfunction. Please contact Elite Screen’s technical support department for further information. Circuit board layout of CineTension2, Home2, VMAX2, Spectrum, Kestrel series screens
Q: Why does my electric screen no longer function?
Q: Why does my electric screen no longer function?
There are a few possible things you could check:
1. Make sure your wall plug has power and that the screen is properly plugged in. 2. If the screen works well with the wall switch but not with the remote controls, ensure that fresh alkaline batteries are installed in the remote controls. 3. Check your screen’s internal fuse. (Please call our Tech Support for location of fuse before tampering with the screen.) 4. Our Home2, CineTension2, Kestrel, Raptor and VMAX Plus 3/4 screens feature a tubular motor equipped with a Thermal Relay. This feature will automatically shut off the screen should your motor become too hot, thus preventing overheating of the motor. To correct this, simply leave the screen alone for 20-30 minutes and try again.
