How to install Da-Lite Advantage Deluxe Electrol 159" Electric Projection Screen

Installing the Da-Lite Advantage Deluxe Electrol 159" screen is designed to be straightforward for a professional installer or a skilled DIY enthusiast. Follow these general guidelines to ensure a secure, aesthetically pleasing setup that delivers optimal projection performance:

• Plan your mounting location: Select a ceiling area that provides clear projection with minimal obstructions and ensure there is a convenient power source nearby for the electric motor. Confirm the ceiling joists or sturdy framing where the screen brackets will mount.
• Unpack and inspect components: Before mounting, verify that you have all required hardware, brackets, mounting hooks, and the remote control. Inspect the screen housing for any transport-related damage and ensure the screen surface is clean and free of debris.
• Prepare the rough opening: Since the Advantage line includes integrated ceiling trim to conceal the rough opening, you’ll want to prepare the ceiling cutout so it aligns with the housing. Use a level to ensure the screen will hang perfectly plumb and square.
• Install mounting brackets: Secure the ceiling brackets to the joists or mounting surface according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Use the provided hardware, with appropriate fasteners for the ceiling material. Confirm bracket alignment and stability before attaching the screen housing.
• Route power and connect controls: Ensure a dedicated electrical outlet is available within reach of the screen’s power cord or in-wall wiring. Install the wall switch or connect the remote control for convenient operation. Route any cables neatly to prevent interference with the screen’s motion.
• Attach the screen housing and test: Mount the housing securely to the brackets, verify vertical alignment, and check the screen’s surface for smooth operation. Power on to test the retraction and extension, confirming quiet operation and proper stopping position. Make any minor alignment adjustments as needed.
• Final setup and calibration: If your projection system requires color or brightness calibration, perform these adjustments after the screen is fully deployed. Confirm the screen’s protective trim and sealing features are intact, and that the remote or wall switch controls function correctly across the full throw.
