This document describes the ezFrame 2 & Sable Frame 2 Series Fixed Frame Projection Screen, a fixed frame projection screen designed for home theater and professional installations. The user guide provides comprehensive instructions for assembly, installation, and maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the product.
The ezFrame 2 & Sable Frame 2 Series is a fixed frame projection screen, meaning the screen material is stretched taut within a rigid frame, providing a perfectly flat and wrinkle-free viewing surface. This design is ideal for dedicated home theaters or commercial environments where a permanent, high-quality display is desired. The fixed frame ensures consistent image quality without the ripples or waves that can sometimes occur with retractable screens. The screen is designed to be wall-mounted, offering a sleek and integrated look. The material is stretched to create sufficient tension, which is crucial for achieving perfect material flatness and an optimal viewing experience. The inclusion of a center support bar (or two, depending on the screen size) further enhances stability and tension, contributing to the screen's overall flatness and durability.
The assembly process for the ezFrame 2 & Sable Frame 2 Series screen is detailed and methodical, designed to be manageable with careful attention to the instructions. Users begin by assembling the horizontal frame pieces using center joints and screws, ensuring not to fully tighten the screws until all frame components are in place. This allows for minor adjustments and proper alignment. Elbow joints are then used to connect the short vertical frame pieces to the long horizontal frames, forming the complete rectangular frame.
A critical step in the assembly is attaching the screen material to the frame. The manual emphasizes the importance of working on a clean, dry, and non-abrasive protection sheet and wearing gloves to prevent damage or fingerprints on the delicate screen surface. The screen material, which is intentionally smaller than the frame, is carefully unrolled face down within the assembled frame. This smaller size is essential for creating the necessary tension when stretched, resulting in a perfectly flat viewing surface. The material includes a label to distinguish the back from the front, guiding correct placement.
Fix plates are then used to secure the screen material to the frame. This process begins by stretching the material to the corners and inserting its edge into the frame's groove. The fix plates are then snapped into place, starting with the four corners in a specific sequence (A→B→C→D), followed by the center points of each side (E→F→G→H), and then additional fix plates around the perimeter (I→J→K→L→M→N→O→P). Finally, any remaining fix plates are inserted into empty locations marked in red, ensuring the material is evenly stretched and securely fastened. The systematic approach to attaching the fix plates ensures uniform tension across the entire screen surface, which is vital for a flawless projection.
For larger diagonal models (150" and above), one or two center support bars are installed to provide additional stability and tension. These bars are inserted into the upper top groove on the back of the frame, aligning with the groove and sliding into place. This feature prevents sagging and maintains the screen's flatness over time, especially for wider screens.
Installation of the assembled screen involves wall mounting. Users are advised to locate studs using a stud finder and mark drill-hole areas. The manual provides a table with recommended wall bracket distances and height distances for various screen sizes, ensuring proper placement. Holes are drilled, and wall anchors are inserted, followed by the wall brackets. The design of the wall brackets allows the frame to slide over them, facilitating easy centering of the screen. The lower portion of the fixed frame screen is then pushed into the lower brackets to secure the installation. This mounting system ensures the screen is firmly attached to the wall, providing a stable and secure display.
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for preserving the quality and longevity of the ezFrame 2 & Sable Frame 2 Series projection screen. The manual provides clear guidelines to prevent damage and maintain optimal performance.
One of the most important maintenance instructions is to avoid touching the projection surface with bare hands, as oils and dirt can leave marks. Similarly, writing or drawing on the surface, or using fingers or sharp objects to point, is strictly prohibited, as these actions can permanently damage the screen material.
For cleaning the projection surface, the manual specifies using a soft-damp cloth. It explicitly warns against using chemical cleaning agents or alcohol, as these can degrade the screen material. Only clean water should be used to dampen the cleaning cloth, and users are instructed not to rub aggressively against the material to clean it. Gentle wiping is recommended to remove dust or smudges without causing abrasion.
The frame parts, made of high-quality velour-surfaced aluminum, should also be handled with care. When not in use, covering the screen with a furniture sheet is recommended to protect it from dirt, grime, paint, or other impurities that could settle on the surface.
When cleaning the frame, a damp soft cloth with warm water can be used to remove any marks. As with the screen surface, abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals should be avoided.
Safety guidelines are also provided for installation and general use. Before hanging the screen, users must ensure that no other objects (such as power switches, outlets, furniture, ladders, or windows) obstruct the designated space. Regardless of whether the screen is hung or installed into the wall, it is essential to use proper mounting anchors and ensure that the weight is appropriately supported by a strong and structurally sound surface. Consulting a home improvement specialist for installation advice is recommended, especially for larger or heavier screens.
Finally, spare parts should be kept out of reach of small children, adhering to household safety guidelines. Adhering to these maintenance and safety instructions will help ensure the ezFrame 2 & Sable Frame 2 Series projection screen remains in excellent condition and provides a superior viewing experience for many years.
