How to install Da-Lite Contour Electrol 133"
- Plan your mounting location by measuring available ceiling or wall space and confirming a power source within reach of the screen housing. Ensure there is a clear area above and in front of the screen to accommodate the recess or drop of the housing.
- Choose the appropriate mounting brackets and hardware recommended by Da-Lite for ceiling or wall installations. Verify that the mounting surface can support the combined weight of the screen housing and any mounting components.
- Attach the mounting brackets securely to the structural surface. Use a level to ensure the brackets are perfectly vertical, as misalignment can affect screen operation and image alignment.
- Secure the screen housing to the brackets, taking care to protect the screen surface during installation. Verify there are no gaps or shifts in the housing after mounting.
- Route power to the screen’s motor controller and connect any necessary control devices as specified by the installation guide. If using a wall switch or optional remote, ensure wiring is compliant with local electrical codes and is safely tucked away to preserve a clean installation.
- Test the system by powering it on and lowering the screen to confirm smooth operation. Check for any obstructions that could bind the surface and verify that the projection surface remains flat and wrinkle-free.
- Align the screen with your projector’s throw and screen height to ensure an undistorted image. Adjust the mounting height as needed to optimize viewing comfort across the seating area.
- Conceal cables and power connections with raceways or ceiling panels to maintain a clean, professional appearance. Calibrate color, brightness, and contrast on your projector for the best image quality on the 133" surface.
- Perform routine maintenance checks—visually inspect the housing, confirm smooth operation, and verify that the screen retracts fully without interference. Periodically verify mounting hardware for signs of wear or loosening.
