How to Install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Electrol 106" Electric Projection Screen

Installing the Cosmopolitan Electrol is a straightforward process designed to minimize disruption and maximize performance. Start by planning the mounting location—choose a position with a clear projection path, unobstructed screen travel, and access to power. If you are retrofitting a space, evaluate the existing ceiling or wall structure to ensure support for the screen housing and mounting brackets. Gather the necessary tools and hardware, including the provided mounting brackets, screws sized for your wall or ceiling material, and a level to ensure precise alignment. A helper is recommended for safely lifting and positioning the screen assembly during installation.

The first step is to attach the mounting brackets to the ceiling joists or wall studs. Use appropriate anchors and hardware that match your mounting surface and the weight of the screen. Ensure the brackets are level and securely fastened, as misalignment can affect screen travel and image alignment. With the brackets in place, lift the screen housing into position and secure it to the brackets according to the included instructions. After mounting, verify that the housing is level and that the screen drops smoothly without snagging or binding.

Next, connect the electrical supply and configure the control method you’ve chosen. The Cosmopolitan Electrol supports motorized operation via remote or wall switch, depending on the configuration. Run power and signal wiring neatly, keeping cables out of the projection path and away from potential interference. If your installation requires a wall switch, mount it within easy reach and test the control to confirm the screen lowers and retracts as expected. If using a remote, ensure the receiver is properly aligned and that line-of-sight operation is clear for reliable performance.

Leveling and image alignment are critical for optimal results. With the screen fully extended, use a plumb line or laser level to confirm that the bottom edge is perfectly horizontal across the viewing area. Some installations may require minor adjustments to the mounting brackets to achieve perfect alignment. Once the screen is level, retract it and re-extend to verify smooth travel over the entire range. Finally, configure any projector settings for perfect keystone-free alignment with the 16:9 surface, ensuring the image fills the screen without distortion.

Maintenance and care are simple. Keep the screen and housing free of dust using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or solvents, which can adversely affect the screen surface and finish. Periodically inspect mounting hardware and screws for tightness and signs of wear. If you encounter any operation irregularities, refer to the user manual for troubleshooting steps or contact technical support for guidance. With proper installation and routine care, the Cosmopolitan Electrol delivers dependable performance for many years.
