INSTALLATION MANUAL
ENGLISH
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a frame screen among the range FlatMax. This
screen is entirely made in Italy with first-class materials, including a high quality
projection surface to guarantee excellent performances for your installation.
WARNINGS
Before installing the screen, please read the following instructions carefully. We
would recommend that these instructions are stored safely for future reference.
When opening the packaging of the screen, please DO NOT USE CUTTERS
or OTHER SHARP TOOLS that can damage the screen inside. During opening
the packaging and during installation, it is reccomended to use work gloves.
Depending on the screen weight, it has to be handled by at least two or three
persons taking care to the following ratio KG/PERSON: MALE 25 kg. – FEMALE
15 kg.
After assembling the screen, there could result some wrinkles on the projection
surface, due to packaging and transport.
These wrinkles will disappear within 48/72 hours, under the condition that the
screen is installed inside a room with at least 20°C temperature. In case the
room temperature is higher than 20°C, the wrinkles will disappear quicker.
In case of persistant wrinkles or if you need to remove the wrinkles in a very
short time, we suggest to use an hairdryer.
Warning: use the hairdryer at least 40 cm. from the projection surface and
move it constantly and evenly across the projection cloth.
If this warning is not respected, the surface could be damaged permanently. In
case during assembling of the projection cloth on the frame, the surface results
apparently too small, please leave it 24 hrs in a room with 20-25°C temperature.
After this, the cloth will be more elastic and it will be easier to mount it onto
the frame.
The manufacturer does not take responsibility for any damage to property or
personal injury if the screen is used outside of recommended specifications or
in case of incorrect/poor quality installation.

DO NOT install this screen nearby or over heating or air conditioning systems,
because PVC is a plastic material which dilates and remains damaged if it is
subjected to heat and/or cool air.
DO NOT install this screen either facing direct sun light or blocking a window
as PVC could be damaged and make waves for the explanations given above.
The PVC cloth is very sensitive to temperature range. We advise to mount the
screen in environments with an ambient temperature in the range of 20°-25°C.
We advise you to WAIT 3 HOURS for the SCREEN to ACCLIMATISE BEFORE
MOUNTING the screen after delivery, especially if screen arrives from a cold
temperature.
THE SCREEN HAS TO BE STOCKED AND TRANSPORTED ALWAYS
IN HORIZONTAL POSITION, otherwise there could appear waves on the
projection cloth.
DO NOT WASH the projection surface with alcohol or solvent nor with
commercial cleaners. Every now and then dust the surface with a dry and clean
duster.
Please, be very careful because any kind of stain on projection surfaces is
inerasable.
DO NOT HANG TO THE SCREEN and DO NOT HANG ANY OBJECT to it.
Please take care that children DO NOT PLAY with the screen as they can get
severely injured.
The manufacturer will not accept returns of screens for repair without
manufacturer's authorization (RMA number) and without a suitable packaging.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
FRAME ASSEMBLY
Lay the frame segments (A) on the floor with the anchoring cursors facing
upwards; in order to avoid scratches on the frame we advise you to lay the
frame on a soft and clean cloth.
Connect the base and height segments using the aluminium edges supplied in
order to make a rectangle.
2.
PROJECTION SURFACE ASSEMBLY
Lay the frame with the anchoring cursors facing upwards. Put the projection
surface (I) on the frame with the reflecting side facing downwards (see green
sticker quoting "Projections Side" placed on one perimeter pocket) and be
careful not to get it dirty.
Insert galvanized rods (H) into the perimeter pockets (Fig. 1).
In order to tight the screen surface put the rubber bands (G) into the holes and
hook them to the cursors (Fig. 6), in the following sequence:
- First: tight four rubber bands at the upper left corner.
- Second: tight four rubber bands at the bottom right corner.
- Third: tight four rubber bands at the upper right corner.
- Fourth: tight four rubber bands at the bottom left corner.
In case the screen requires BRACING BARS (OPTIONAL), proceed to mount
the bracing bars supplied as explained in the drawings n. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
Now, proceed with tightening all other rubber bands around the surface.
In case there is a seam in the viewing area of the projection cloth, please take
care to mount the projection cloth onto the frame so that the seam will result on
the upper (higher) part of the screen.
3.
WALL MOUNTING
FlatMax is provided with sliding anchoring brackets (B) that allow an easy wall
positioning. Fix the sliding mounting brackets (B) to the wall by screws and wall
plugs (not supplied) specific for the type of wall to drill (Fig. 4).
ALL FRAME SCREENS ARE SUPPLIED WITH ONE OR MORE ANCHORING
BRACKETS TO BE MOUNTED ONTO THE HORIZONTAL BOTTOM PART
OF THE FRAME IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE A PERFECT RECTANGULAR
SHAPE OF THE FRAME AND TO AVOID FALLING DOWN IN CASE OF
LIFTING.
The manufacturer guarantees a perfect rectangular shape of the frame after
the installation, only if the frame is mounted to the wall with all the supplied
anchoring brackets mounted on the upper and bottom part of the frames.

The upper brackets have to be distributed as follows:
-Top left bracket at 20 cm. from the corner
-Top right bracket at 20 cm. from the corner
-Remaining top brackets equally distributed in the remaining space
The bottom brackets have to be equally distributed over the total bottom
frame width.
Please take care to install the bottom bracket at a distance from the upper
bracket equal to screen viewing height + cm. 19.
A perfect rectangular shape of the frame is not guaranteed in case the screen
is mounted in different ways (e.g. metal chains from the ceiling, etc.) from what
is above written.
Put into the splines of the upper and lower frames nuts (C) + bolt and washers
(D+E), as show in Fig.5.
Lift up the frame and position it between the upper and bottom wall brackets.
Starting from the upper frame, fix tightly each bolt (D) to each bracket.
Successively, fix the lower frame onto the bottom brackets by fixing tightly
each bolt (D). After installation, check carefully that all bolts (D) are FIRMILY
TIGHTENED to the brackets.
In case you need to fly the frame from the ceiling, insert in the upper part of
the frame the nuts (C) and screw all the eyebolts supplied (F) see Fig. 3, taking
care that the extreme left eyebolt is located at 20 cm. from the upper left corner.
The same for the upper right side eyebolt. Fix the screen to the ceiling by the
eyebolts using proper chains.
At the end of the installation, please check that the frame is perfectly levelled.
NOTE: in case of flying frame, we suggest to order the screen with optional
bracing bars in order to guarantee perfect squareness of the frame.
CAUTION: CHECK EVERY 6 MONTHS THAT SCREWS, WALL PLUGS AND
