how to install Elite Screens Starling Tab-Tension 2

Installing the Starling Tab-Tension 2 is designed to be straightforward, delivering a clean, professional look with minimal effort. Start by identifying a suitable mounting location that provides a stable, level surface and a clear throw distance for your projector. Confirm that the wall or ceiling you choose can support the weight of the housing and the screen. With the floating back brackets, you’ll align the mounting plane first, then secure the brackets to the wall or ceiling. Once the brackets are secured, attach the screen housing to the brackets and carefully thread the screen so that the edges are properly tensioned. Connect the power supply to the screen’s motor and, if included, connect the IR or wall-control receiver. Finally, power on the projector and the screen to confirm proper alignment, tension, and geometry. Fine-tune any vertical or horizontal alignment, run a test image, and enjoy a perfectly flat, immersive projection surface.

  • Preparation: Choose a location with ample throw distance and a solid, level mounting surface. Gather necessary hardware as specified by the model and ensure you have access to a power source for the motorized unit.
  • Mounting: Attach the floating back brackets to the chosen wall or ceiling line. Use a level to ensure precise alignment before securing the brackets. The back brackets are designed to simplify installation and reduce wall clutter.
  • Housings and screen: Secure the arcuate housing to the mounted brackets, then route the screen fabric carefully. Confirm that the edges are ready for tensioning and free from obstructions.
  • Electrical and control setup: Connect the screen’s motor to the power source. Pair the remote or wall switch and verify that the motor responds smoothly to commands. Test both retraction and deployment cycles to ensure consistent operation.
  • Calibration: Power the projector and screen, then perform a quick geometric alignment check. Adjust throw and keystone settings as needed to achieve edge-to-edge alignment with optimal focus and brightness.
