how to install Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol

Installing the Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol begins with selecting a mounting location that supports the screen’s weight and travel path. Start by verifying the structural integrity of the ceiling or wall where brackets will be attached, and use a stud finder to locate framing members or structural supports. Mark the mounting points according to the enclosure’s template, ensuring the surface is level to prevent misalignment and uneven drop. Securely fasten the wall or ceiling brackets to the framing using the recommended hardware, checking that each fastener is tightened to the manufacturer’s specifications. Hang the screen housing according to the installation guide, making sure the mechanism is oriented for smooth operation and unobstructed travel. Connect the power supply and corresponding control system or remote, and adhere to local electrical codes during wiring. After installation, test the raise and lower function to verify the screen moves freely with consistent speed and without binding. Align the screen with the projector by adjusting its position and seating distance to achieve proper image geometry and keystone correction. Finally, calibrate the projector settings for brightness, contrast, and color to maximize image quality on the tensioned contour surface, and verify that the finish and cabinet align with room aesthetics for a cohesive installation.
