How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 164" Electric Projection Screen

• Prepare the space: Choose a mounting location with ample clearance for full extension of the 164" diagonal screen and a solid overhead structure or wall studs capable of supporting the enclosure weight.
• Gather components: Confirm delivery contents include the screen housing, mounting brackets, fasteners, power cord, and remote control; inspect for any shipping damage before installation.
• Locate mounting points: Use a stud finder or appropriate hardware to mark secure attachment points in alignment with the projector’s position and seating arrangement to ensure optimal viewing geometry.
• Install mounting hardware: Attach the ceiling- or wall-mount brackets securely, ensuring they are level and plumb to prevent skewed alignment when the screen is lowered.
• Hang the enclosure: Mount the screen housing to the brackets, taking care to avoid twisting the fabric surface and ensuring smooth travel in both directions.
• Electrical connection: Route a compliant power supply to the screen’s motor, following local electrical codes and safety guidelines; use a dedicated outlet if possible to prevent interruptions during operation.
• Test and adjust: Power on the system, extend the screen fully, and verify smooth operation and even drop; adjust travel limits if the mechanism offers this feature.
• Final alignment: Align the screen with the projector throw and seating area, verify keystone-free projection, and ensure the bottom edge sits evenly when retracted.
• Maintenance and care: Keep the surface clean with a dry microfiber cloth; avoid solvents or harsh cleaners, and ensure the projection path remains unobstructed for uninterrupted movement.
