The Yard Master Electric Tension Series is an outdoor projector screen designed for wall or patio installations. To ensure longevity, the screen must be retracted into its protective casing when not in use to prevent photodegradation from UV radiation. The unit is IP33 rated, providing protection against solid objects larger than 2.5mm and water spray at a 60-degree angle.

Safety and Care
- Do not touch, write on, or point at the projection surface with sharp objects.
- Clean only with a soft-damp cloth and clean water; do not use chemicals or alcohol.
- Operate only under adult supervision.
- Disconnect power during heavy rain, wind, or lightning.
- Do not disassemble the unit; there are no user-serviceable parts.
Installation
Installation requires at least two people. Ensure the screen is mounted on a level surface. Wall screws provided are complementary and may not suit all surfaces; consult a professional if needed.



Wall and Ceiling Mount


- Measure and mark the distance between the bracket screw holes.
- Drill holes and secure the Wall/Ceiling mount brackets (A) using the provided anchors and screws (B).
- Hang the screen by placing the downward catch on the back over the bracket's upper catch.
- Slide the screen horizontally to center it, then secure it with the M5x25mm screw (H).
Suspended Mount
- Screw the eyebolt (I) into the bracket connector (D).
- Attach the snap link (J) to the eyebolt and connect to a ceiling-rated eyebolt screw (not included).
Control System
The screen can be operated via RF Remote or a Wireless 12-volt projector trigger.

RF Remote Synchronization
- Unplug the screen from the power source.
- Press and hold the STOP button on the remote.
- Plug the screen back in while holding the button.

Wireless 12V Trigger Setup
- Unplug the screen.

Common problems
Ensure the projector is completely powered off (fan off). If it still fails, repeat the synchronization process from step 1.
Perform the synchronization process: unplug the screen, hold the STOP button, plug it back in, and release after hearing multiple beeps.
Reorient the receiving antenna, increase separation between the screen and the receiver, or connect the screen to a different power outlet.
Before use
- Ensure the power outlet voltage (100v, 110v, or 220v) is compatible with the screen.
- Verify the mounting surface is level and capable of supporting the screen weight.
- Ensure the power source provides a continuous power flow.
- Check that the screen is not exposed to direct sunlight or moisture when not in use.
- Confirm all brackets are securely fastened.
