How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 130" Electric Projection Screen

Note: For optimal results, follow the manufacturer’s mounting guidelines and ensure you have access to appropriate electrical connections and mounting support. Prepare the installation area by locating suitable joists or structural anchors and verifying the ceiling surface can support the screen’s weight. Use the included template and hardware to align the enclosure with the viewing space for the best viewing height and projector throw alignment.

1) Plan the mounting layout — Determine the ideal screen height based on seating and projector placement. Use the provided template to mark the ceiling or wall mounting points, ensuring there is adequate clearance for the screen to deploy without obstruction.

2) Install the mounting hardware — Secure the mounting brackets to the ceiling or wall using the recommended anchors and fasteners for your mounting surface. Verify level alignment so the screen will retract and deploy evenly, preventing any tilt or skew in the cabinet.

3) Attach the screen enclosure — With the brackets firmly in place, lift and secure the screen casing to the mounting hardware. Double-check alignment and ensure there is no interference with ceiling trim components or adjacent fixtures.

4) Connect power and control — Route the power supply to a licensed outlet, install any included control devices (remote or wall switch), and confirm proper electrical connections. If required, configure any basic control settings described by the manufacturer to enable smooth deployment and retraction.

5) Test and calibrate — Power on the system and run a full test cycle to ensure the screen retracts smoothly and stops at the correct height. Verify the image alignment with your projector and, if necessary, adjust mounting height, projector throw, and any limit settings on the motorized mechanism for optimal performance.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is the screen suitable for classrooms, conference rooms, and home theaters?

A: Yes. The 130" diagonal, 16:9 aspect ratio, and high-quality projection surface are designed to adapt to a variety of spaces, from education environments to corporate presentation rooms and immersive home theaters. The electric operation also makes it convenient for multi-use spaces where quick setup and teardown are important.

Q: How is the screen powered and controlled?

A: The screen uses an electric motor housed within the enclosure and is typically controlled via a remote control or wall switch. Depending on the model, it may also support additional control options or integration with building management systems, enabling easy operation in busy spaces.

Q: What room conditions are ideal for this screen?

A: The screen performs best in rooms with controlled lighting and adequate projector throw. The matte white surface provides good brightness and contrast in a variety of lighting conditions, but for the clearest image, minimize direct ambient light on the screen whenever possible.
