Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 106" Electric Projection Screen

Upgrade your classroom, conference room, or home theater with the Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 106" Electric Projection Screen. This screen is engineered to deliver a clean, professional installation by integrating ceiling trim into the housing, so there’s no need for additional trim work after mounting. The 106" diagonal format offers a wide, immersive viewing experience with a 16:9 aspect ratio, ideal for presentations, videos, and multimedia content. The tensioned surface maintains a flat, uniform image across the entire screen, preventing waviness and distortions that can occur with non-tensioned screens. Electric operation adds effortless convenience—lower and raise the screen with the touch of a wall switch or optional remote—while the robust housing and trim create a seamless, finished look that blends with any décor. Designed for front-projection setups, this screen is a versatile solution for both professional and home environments where image clarity, ease of use, and a polished appearance matter most.

• Ceiling-trim integrated design: The Advantage line includes ceiling trim built into the housing, concealing the rough opening and eliminating the need for post-install trim work. This creates a clean, professional aesthetic from the moment the screen is installed.
• 106" diagonal, 16:9 widescreen format: Optimized for modern presentations and home cinema, delivering a broad viewing area with comfortable seating distances and immersive image proportions.
• Tensioned screen surface for flatness: Da-Lite’s Tensioned Advantage technology keeps the screen surface evenly taut, reducing waves and buckling for a crisp, uniform image across the entire viewing area.
• Electric operation with convenient control: The Electrol model provides easy electric lowering and raising, typically via a wall switch and/or optional remote, simplifying everyday use in high-traffic rooms.
• Durable housing and easy installation: White, corrosion-resistant housing with integrated trim supports fast, reliable mounting and a professional look in ceilings or raised installations.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 106" Electric Projection Screen

• Prepare the ceiling opening: Confirm the rough opening is sized to accommodate the 106" diagonal screen housing, with adequate space for mounting hardware and ventilation. Verify the ceiling structure can support the loaded weight of the housing and screen in the intended location.
• Attach the trim and housing: Align the screen housing with the ceiling opening and secure it to structural members as recommended by the manufacturer. The integrated ceiling trim should sit flush against the ceiling surface to conceal the rough opening once installed.
• Run power and controls: Run a dedicated 120V circuit to the location and connect the screen’s power supply. If you are using a remote control option, ensure the receiver is properly mounted and paired with the remote.
• Mount and level the screen: With assistance, lift the screen into the housing, ensuring it is plumb and level. Tighten mounting hardware per the installation guide and verify that the screen retracts and extends smoothly without obstructions.
• Test and calibrate: Power on the system and perform a full travel test. Check for smooth operation, verify the image aligns correctly with the projector, and confirm that the screen fully retracts and stops at the intended home position. Make any necessary adjustments to mounting or limits as specified in the manual.
