How to install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan 130" Electric Projection Screen

Installing the Cosmopolitan is a straightforward process when you follow these steps. Begin by selecting the optimal placement for audience sightlines and equipment access, ensuring there is adequate clearance for full screen travel and motor operation. If you’re mounting on a ceiling, verify structural support and locate joists or use appropriate anchors for secure mounting. For wall mounting, identify a sturdy wall surface and confirm that the mounting area aligns with your seating layout for ideal image height and viewing angle.

• Plan and mark mounting locations: Determine whether you’ll mount the screen to the wall or ceiling. Use a level to mark two or more bracket positions that align with the screen’s mounting points, ensuring even weight distribution and level operation once installed.
• Attach mounting brackets: Secure the provided mounting brackets to the wall or ceiling using appropriate fasteners for your surface. Double-check that brackets are rigid and level, as misalignment can affect screen travel and image alignment.
• Mount the aluminum case: Lift and attach the two-piece aluminum housing to the brackets, ensuring a secure, level fit. Ensure wiring pathways are clear and that there is space for the screen to retract without obstruction.
• Connect power and control: Plug in the screen’s electric system and pair the remote control or wall switch for operation. If your installation includes a control system or projector integration, ensure compatibility and proper signal routing for synchronized usage.
• Test operation and align image: Power on, extend the screen, and verify that the image is level and square relative to the screen surface. Fine-tune throw distance, projector alignment, and any masking or frame settings if applicable. Retract the screen and test multiple cycles to confirm smooth operation and stability.
