how to install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen
- Choose an installation location that provides a clear, unobstructed drop path and a surface strong enough to support the screen’s weight. Verify ceiling or wall structure and identify studs or mounting points that can bear the load of the screen in its extended position.
- Prepare the mounting hardware and electrical connections. Ensure there is a dedicated electrical outlet within reach for the motorized screen and plan for clean cable management so that wires are hidden and protected.
- Attach mounting brackets to the wall or ceiling according to the included installation template. Make sure brackets are level and secure, using the appropriate fasteners for your wall or ceiling type. Double-check alignment to ensure a straight, vertical screen surface when fully extended.
- Hang the Cosmopolitan screen onto the mounting brackets and tighten all fasteners. Connect the electrical lead to the power source and install the decora-style three-position wall switch in a convenient location. Verify that the drop path remains clear of furniture and walls during operation.
- Power up and test the screen. Extend fully to confirm smooth operation and alignment, then retract and pause at intermediate points if desired. Clean the projection surface with approved screen cleaners only, and perform periodic checks on the housing and wiring to maintain optimal performance over time.
