How to Install Da-Lite Model C Projection Screen

Installing the Model C is straightforward when you follow these general guidelines. For exact hardware and detailed measurements, refer to the product’s installation manual.

1) Plan the mounting location: Choose a wall or ceiling position that provides an unobstructed projection area and aligns with your projector’s throw distance and seating layout. Measure to ensure the 96" x 96" format will fit within the room’s dimensions and available mounting space.

2) Prepare the mounting surface: If mounting to a wall, locate structural studs or use appropriate anchors for the screen’s weight. For ceiling installations, locate joists or use rated toggles and brackets designed for overhead mounting. Confirm levelness before securing hardware.

3) Attach the mounting hardware: Use the included brackets and mounting screws to secure the frame to the wall or ceiling. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to specification to maintain accurate alignment and safe operation.

4) Install the screen assembly: With the housing in place, attach the retractable screen mechanism according to the manual. Verify that the pull‑down surface sits plumb and square, without binding or uneven travel.

5) Test operation and alignment: Pull the screen down to its full extension, then retract it fully. Check for smooth motion, quiet operation, and proper retraction into the housing. If needed, adjust alignment brackets to ensure the screen sits flat against the viewing surface.

6) Final adjustments and maintenance: Wipe the screen surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust. Periodically inspect mounting hardware and the housing for signs of wear or loosening, and tighten as necessary to maintain peak performance.

Note: Always follow manufacturer guidelines for mounting height, safe operating range, and weight limits. If you are uncertain about installation, consult a qualified installer to ensure optimal performance and safety.
