Installing the Contour Electrol is designed to be straightforward, with a focus on secure mounting, proper alignment, and reliable power connection. Follow these general steps to achieve a clean, professional setup. Always consult the installation template provided with your screen and follow local electrical codes.

• Secure the electric housing to the mounted brackets, then carefully route any wiring to the power source, following the manufacturer’s guidelines for cable management and safety.
• Test the screen’s operation by powering it on to extend and retract the surface. Check for smooth movement, proper alignment of the fabric, and ensure the image sits correctly within the projection area. Make any minor adjustments to ensure a level, wrinkle-free surface.
