How to install DA-LITE Cosmopolitan Electrol 180

• Plan the installation location carefully, ensuring there is a solid structural anchor point for the mounting brackets and enough clearance for the screen when fully extended. Consider sightlines from seating areas, projectors’ throw distance, and electrical access to power the screen motor.
• Choose between ceiling or wall mounting based on room layout and aesthetics. If mounting to the ceiling, locate joists and use appropriate ceiling anchors or a mounting plate compatible with the Cosmopolitan Electrol 180 hardware. For wall mounting, locate studs and use the supplied wall-mount hardware to secure the brackets firmly.
• Assemble and attach the mounting brackets according to the supplied installation guide, ensuring level alignment across the width of the screen. Double-check that all fasteners are tightened securely to prevent any movement or sag over time.
• Connect the screen’s power supply in accordance with local electrical codes. Verify that power is switched off during installation and test the motor once connections are complete, ensuring smooth ascent and descent without unusual noises or hesitation.
• Unroll the screen gradually to verify vertical alignment and proper projection surface tension. Make any small adjustments to the housing mounting or bottom edge alignment to achieve a perfectly flat, square projection area. Finally, test control options (remote and wall switch) to confirm full functional operation and reliable retraction.
• Perform a final check under normal viewing conditions. Confirm that the image fills the screen area as expected from typical seating positions, and adjust if necessary to optimize keystone, focus, or projector alignment for the best possible picture quality.
