Da Lite Advantage Series Projection Screen Ceiling Recessed Electric With Plenum Rated Case 130In

Da-Lite Advantage Series Ceiling-Recessed Electric Projection Screen – a purpose-built solution that delivers cinema-quality imagery in spaces where aesthetics and space matter. The 130" diagonal screen is designed to install flush with the ceiling, masking rough openings and eliminating the need for additional trim work once the large-format surface is in place. This creates a clean, professional look that blends seamlessly with modern interiors while preserving the crisp geometry, color accuracy, and detail essential for compelling presentations, streaming HD content, or immersive home theater experiences. Built to handle frequent use in classrooms, conference rooms, corporate spaces, and high-traffic commercial environments, the Advantage Series offers reliable performance with a low-profile presence that keeps distractions to a minimum. The plenum-rated case adds an extra layer of safety and compliance for installations in air-handling spaces, giving installers confidence that the unit meets building codes and industry standards. Whether you’re delivering data-driven briefs, streaming media, or hosting a big-screen movie night, this screen provides a durable, high-performance platform designed for daily deployment and long-term value.

• Premium ceiling-recessed design: The Advantage Series is engineered to install with the ceiling trim already in place, masking the rough opening and delivering a flush, professional finish. This design minimizes post-install work and preserves a clean ceiling line, making it ideal for new construction or retrofits where aesthetics are paramount.
• Electric operation with a quiet motor: A robust, smooth-retracting motor powers near-silent operation, ensuring presentations proceed without audible distraction while maintaining precise surface alignment and consistent projection geometry.
• Plenum-rated steel case for code compliance: The durable, plenum-rated enclosure protects the projection surface and internal mechanism, meeting building code requirements for air-handling spaces and ensuring long-term reliability in busy environments.
• Generous 130" diagonal viewing area: A large, panoramic surface supports wide seating configurations and creates an immersive viewing experience for audiences, while preserving uniform brightness and accurate image geometry across the entire surface.
• Two-stage installation for flexible, rapid setup: Contractors can begin rough-in work before the ceiling finish, then complete final assembly after trim is in place, reducing on-site disruption and delivering a precise flush-mount result.

How to install Da-Lite Advantage Series Projection Screen Ceiling Recessed Electric With Plenum Rated Case 130In

The Da-Lite Advantage Series ceiling-recessed screen is designed for a two-stage installation that simplifies scheduling and reduces on-site disruption. To achieve a flush, professional result, follow these general guidelines, and consult a licensed installer for electrical connections and mounting to structure in accordance with local codes.

Stage 1 — Rough-in (before ceiling finish): Plan the rough opening to align with the ceiling plane and structural framing. Secure the plenum-rated case to the building structure, ensuring it is level and plumb. Route electrical service in accordance with local electrical codes, providing a dedicated power source for the projection system. Verify that the alignment of the housing allows full travel of the screen surface and that the ceiling line will conceal the opening once finished. Conduct a preliminary test of the motor operation to confirm smooth, even retraction without binding or interference.

Stage 2 — Finishing and final assembly (after ceiling trim is installed): Install the ceiling trim to conceal the rough opening and create a seamless, flush appearance. Mount the screen housing within the finished opening, ensuring the screen is square to the room and the image will project without keystone distortion. Connect power and any control wiring for remote operation or wall-switch control. Power on the system and perform a full-range test: extend and retract the screen multiple times, verify that the surface travels smoothly, and confirm that edge masking and borders align precisely with the room’s projection geometry. If needed, make minor adjustments to the mounting frame to achieve perfect alignment. Finally, populate the control options—remote control should be paired and tested, and wall-switch control should operate as intended for room-wide accessibility.

Electrical and safety considerations: Electrical installation should be performed by a licensed electrician. Use a dedicated circuit with proper wiring practices, and ensure all connections comply with local electrical codes and building standards. The plenum-rated design is specifically intended for spaces that exchange air, so adherence to code and proper routing of ventilation pathways are essential for safe operation.

Calibration and maintenance: After installation, calibrate the projection alignment, check for any flex or sway in the mounting, and verify the remote control’s responsiveness. Routine maintenance includes periodic cleaning of the screen surface and inspection of the motor and housing for signs of wear or intrusion, ensuring long-term performance and reliability in classrooms, meeting rooms, or home theaters.
