How to Install Da-Lite Designer Contour Electrol 77" Electric Projection Screen
- Plan placement carefully by measuring the viewing area and confirming wall or ceiling structure supports. Identify studs or compatible mounting anchors and select a mounting location that provides the best viewing angle while maintaining clearance for the retracted screen.
- Prepare mounting hardware and brackets supplied with the Designer Contour Electrol. Attach brackets securely to the chosen surface, ensuring level alignment to prevent off-kilter projection and uneven screen operation.
- Run power and wiring in accordance with local electrical codes. If needed, hire a licensed electrician to provide a dedicated outlet or wall switch control that will power the screen’s motor and allow safe, convenient operation. Test that power is properly connected before hanging the screen.
- Capture the screen onto the mounting system and verify level alignment. Make any minor adjustments to ensure the screen sits parallel to the floor and retracts smoothly without rubbing or snagging on the housing.
- Power up the screen and perform a full test cycle. Extend the screen completely, then retract it to confirm smooth operation and to verify that the image surface remains flat and free of creases or distortions. If needed, recalibrate the mounting or alignment for optimal performance.
