how to install Da-Lite Advantage Series Projection Screen

Preparing for installation begins with selecting the ideal ceiling location that accommodates the 137" diagonal and provides access to a suitable power source. Work with the building's structural plan to ensure adequate support and alignment with the screen surface. The two-stage installation capability of the Advantage Series is designed to streamline this process: first, place and secure the plenum-rated case during rough-in, then complete ceiling finish trim and any ancillary décor after the wall or ceiling is ready. This approach minimizes disruption and helps preserve a pristine ceiling line.

Electrical considerations are essential for safe operation. Confirm that a properly rated power supply is available for the screen’s motor system, and ensure that the control options (wall switch, infrared remote, or integrated room-control system) are reachable from typical viewing positions. Da-Lite provides mounting guidelines and wiring diagrams that are compatible with standard electrical practices for commercial spaces. If you are coordinating with an installer or AV integrator, share the product’s exact model and diagonal size to ensure correct assembly and performance characteristics.

During installation, alignment and tension of the screen material are critical for image quality. The Advantage Series is designed to deliver consistent movement and a tight, flat viewing surface once fully deployed. Leveling the housing and verifying that the screen retraction is smooth helps prevent edge creases or misalignment over time. After the case is secured and finish trim is in place, perform a test run to confirm smooth operation, proper projection, and consistent screen surface tension. Routine checks should include verifying the motor’s stopping points and ensuring the screen stops precisely at the intended position for optimal viewing angles.

Maintenance for the ceiling-recessed, plenum-rated screen is straightforward. Clean the exterior housing occasionally to remove dust, and inspect the screen surface for any signs of wear or creasing. If the screen receives frequent use or is installed in a high-traffic space, schedule periodic maintenance checks to keep the drive mechanism operating quietly and reliably. The durable design of the Advantage Series means you can rely on consistent performance across many years of operation in education, corporate, or home theater environments.
