How to install Da-Lite 184" Replacement Surface
- Step 1: Power down the projector and any connected equipment. Clear the installation area and ensure the Fast-Fold frame is stable and supported to prevent tipping during the surface replacement.
- Step 2: If replacing an existing surface, carefully release the frame’s retaining clips or tensioning hardware. Inspect the frame rails for any wear or debris and clean as needed to ensure a smooth replacement process.
- Step 3: Remove the old surface from the HD Fast-Fold Deluxe or Fast-Fold Truss frame, taking note of how the surface was seated along the frame channels and any tensioning cords that may need to be rethreaded.
- Step 4: Unpack the new Da-Lite 184" replacement surface and orient it so the 16:9 alignment matches the top edge of the frame. Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or fingerprints before installation.
- Step 5: Begin seating the new surface into the frame grooves, aligning edges with the frame channels. Reattach retaining clips or fasteners in a pattern that evenly tensions the surface across the width and height, checking for uniform tautness.
- Step 6: Gently pull taut to remove any wrinkles, then recheck that the surface sits flush against the frame throughout the entire area. If the frame includes tensioning cords, adjust as needed to achieve a uniformly smooth, wrinkle-free surface.
- Step 7: Reconnect power and test with a short video or test pattern to verify brightness, uniformity, and edge clarity. Make minor adjustments to projector alignment or screen tension if necessary to optimize the viewing experience.
