There are three ways to install the Tensioned Contour Electrol —
Wall Mount, Ceiling Mount, or Ceiling Hook. Procedures for each
method are as follows:
Wall Mount
1. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two stop screws
and remove the wall mount bracket from the back side of
the case (Figure 1).
NOTE: The ceiling lush mount and ceiling hook mount
brackets are attached to the top side of the case. These
brackets are not necessary for wall mounting and can be
removed at this time.
2. Secure the wall mount bracket to the wall at the desired
height. The wall mount bracket should be fastened to the
wall studs or some reinforcement within the wall. Concrete
or brick walls require special fasteners and anchors. Allow at
least 3” above the wall mount bracket to be able to position
the case on the bracket (Figure 2).
3. Make sure the bracket is level.
4. Hang the screen case on the wall mount bracket as shown
in Figure 2. Be sure the case is fully seated on the bracket.
5. Tighten the two stop screws against the wall mount bracket
using a #2 Phillips screwdriver (Figure 1).

Ceiling Flush Mount
1. The ceiling hook brackets are attached to the top side of the
housing. They must be removed prior to ceiling lush mount.
NOTE: Do not remove the wall mount bracket, even if you
are not using it for mounting. This provides structural
stability
to the case.
2. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the four 1/4”x 5/8”
screws holding the ceiling lush mount brackets (Figure 3).
3. Slide the ceiling lush mount brackets so that the mounting
holes extend beyond the ends of the case. All four 1/4”x 5/8”
screws must remain within the channels.
4. Tighten the four 1/4”x 5/8” screws holding the ceiling
lush mount brackets (Figure 3).
5. Before mounting your Tensioned Contour Electrol, be
sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement.
6. Hold the screen case up to the ceiling and mark the hole
locations. The brackets have a set of front holes and a set of
rear holes. Attach the Tensioned Contour Electrol using the
appropriate hardware for your ceiling type. It is best to use
at least one hole in each set.
Ceiling Hook Mount
1. The ceiling hook mount brackets are tied together and
attached to the ceiling lush mount bracket at one end of
the case. Remove the ceiling hook mount brackets.
2. Remove the ceiling lush mount brackets using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver. See Figure 3. Retain four 1/4”x 5/8” screws.
NOTE: Do not remove the wall mount bracket, even if you
are
not using it for mounting. This provides structural stability
to the case.
3. The top of the screen case has two channels with threaded
nuts that slide the length of the case. Attach the two ceiling
hook mount brackets using the 1/4”x 5/8” screws and
threaded nuts, two per bracket. The brackets can be
attached anywhere within 12" of the ends of the case (Figure
4).
4. Before hanging your Tensioned Contour Electrol, be sure
the ceiling has adequate reinforcement.
5. Using the holes in the ceiling hook brackets, hang the
Tensioned Contour Electrol using the appropriate hardware
and fasteners for your ceiling type.
