What is it?

The Stewart Filmscreen VICS was developed as an aftermarket version of the factory installed Screen Trigger Interface, STI. It works in exactly the same manner as the STI, except it is installed in an outboard fashion (black box). 

How does it operate?

When operational, a 5 to 12-volt DC applied trigger signal to the VICS will activate the screen or panels to deploy. (Use the optional supplied wall transformer if a 5 to 12-volt trigger signal is not available.) When the trigger signal is terminated, the screen or panels will retract.

What screen models use it?

Most small retractable electric screens can be connected to a VICS including: 

• Cascade G1 and G2
• Stealth
• Visionary

How to install / replace a VICS unit

1. Connect the motor leads to the terminal block per color code. (See wiring diagram below.) A 4 conductor 18 ga. (minimum) Romex cable or electrical service cord (SJO) is advised for this connection. Use the supplied wire nuts for connecting the motor leads to this cable.
2. Connect a 2 conductor (Approx. 22 ga.) wire from the 5 to12-volt DC trigger output of your projector. Use the supplied 3.5-mm phono plugs to terminate the ends of this wire. The tip of the plug is positive.
3. Next, plug in the main AC power cord to a standard 120 VAC (constant) outlet.
4. The VICS is now ready for use. The LED will indicate when the 5 to 12 volts are present, and the roller will deploy. The LED will stay on after the roller stops at its down setting. When the 12-volt signal is terminated, the LED will go out and the roller will retract. If masking panels are operating (closing) without a trigger signal, simply reverse the direction leads (black & red) at the terminal block.
