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

For best results, install the screen in a space with a clean, level ceiling to ensure the integrated trim sits flush and the screen retracts properly. Begin by identifying a solid structure in the ceiling that can support the housing and motor load. Follow these general steps to install the screen:

• Unpack and inspect all components, including the ceiling-mounting brackets, power supply, remote, and the screen housing with the tensioned fabric.
• Mark the ceiling location where the screen will be mounted, ensuring the screen surface will align with the seating area and that the throw distance is appropriate for the 130" diagonal.
• Secure the ceiling brackets to a solid structure (joists or equivalent) to support long-term use. Use appropriate fasteners and verify level alignment.
• Attach the screen housing to the ceiling brackets and verify the housing sits flush and square. Make sure the integrated trim sits neatly against the ceiling surface.
• Route power to the motor’s dedicated circuit and connect any optional control devices (wall switch or network-based control) as needed according to local electrical codes.
• Install the screen surface, ensuring the tensioning mechanism is engaged and the surface remains flat when fully extended. Perform a test run by lowering and retracting the screen multiple times to confirm smooth operation and alignment.
• Test the image with your projector at various brightness levels. Adjust wall or ceiling placement if necessary to avoid keystone or edge distortion, then secure all fasteners and tidy the wiring.
• Train users on operating the remote for lowering and raising the screen, and keep spare parts or a service contact for future maintenance.
