How to install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen

Installing the Cosmopolitan projection screen should be approached with attention to structural integrity, safety, and electrical compliance. Begin by assessing the room layout to determine whether wall or ceiling mounting provides the most convenient path for the projector and the audience. If you are unsure, consult with a professional AV installer to confirm alignment with your projector throw distance and seating arrangement.

Steps to install include locating appropriate mounting points that can support the weight of the 137-inch screen housing. For wall mounting, locate sturdy studs and use mounting brackets rated for the screen’s size and load. For ceiling mounting, locate joists or use a chassis designed for ceiling support, ensuring the brackets are securely fastened with hardware appropriate for the building structure. Use a laser level to ensure the screen will hang perfectly plumb and square relative to the projection surface and seating area.

Electrical connection is critical. The Cosmopolitan screen requires a reliable power source compatible with its motor. It is best to have a licensed electrician install a dedicated circuit or verify that an existing circuit provides sufficient amperage and proper wiring. Do not exceed the recommended power supply, and ensure all electrical connections comply with local codes. Once the housing is securely mounted, carefully attach the screen assembly to the mounting brackets as directed by the manufacturer’s installation guide. Route cables neatly to maintain a clean, professional appearance and protect them from damage or interference with the screen movement.

After installation, test the screen’s raise/lower functionality using the included Decora-style three-position wall switch. Confirm that the screen lowers smoothly to full extension without bind or undue noise, and that it retracts evenly into the housing. Check for proper alignment so the screen sits squarely against the wall or ceiling with no lateral tilt. Finally, confirm that the projected image is free from keystone distortion and that the screen’s backing and surface are clean and free from marks.

Maintenance is straightforward. Wipe the housing with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. The projection surface should be kept free of dust and fingerprints; if needed, gently wipe with a microfiber cloth. Regular inspection of mounting hardware, electrical connections, and operation is recommended to ensure continued reliability and safety in high-use environments.
