how to install Da-Lite Model C Series Projection Screen with CSR

To install the Da-Lite Model C CSR screen, begin by selecting a mounting location that provides unobstructed travel space for the screen when fully extended. Attach the mounting brackets to the wall or ceiling according to the included hardware and the weight rating of the screen. With the housing securely mounted, align the screen case so that the pull-down surface hangs plumb and square. Carefully extend the screen completely to engage the CSR mechanism, ensuring smooth and quiet operation as it retracts in and out of the case. If the ceiling mount is used, confirm that the projection surface will align with the projector’s throw distance and that there is adequate clearance above and below the screen for full travel. After installation, test the screen by fully extending it several times to verify consistent operation and image alignment. Finally, adjust any alignment or tension settings per the user manual to optimize image clarity and ensure the screen retracts cleanly back into the housing.
