How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol Series Projection Screen

Installing the Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol Series is intended to be straightforward for qualified installers. Begin by selecting the optimal mounting location based on room size, audience seating, throw distance, and electrical access. Ensure the structural support is rated to bear the weight of the screen housing and mechanism. If you’re mounting to a ceiling, confirm the joists or mounting surface can support the unit and that there is sufficient clearance for full extension and retraction of the screen. For wall mounts, verify that the wall holds are secure and that the screen will not obstruct doors, windows, or furniture.

Next, plan for power despite the motorized operation. The screen should have a dedicated power source that complies with local electrical codes. Route the power conduit or cable in a way that minimizes visibility and protects against damage during operation. Install the mounting brackets, making sure they are level and plumb to ensure a perfectly horizontal screen when deployed. Once the brackets are secure, attach the screen housing to the mounting hardware, double-checking alignment and level. Before finalizing, test the motor by deploying and retracting the screen to confirm smooth movement and proper alignment.

With the hardware seated correctly, you’ll want to calibrate the tensioning system. The TruGuide Electric Screen Tensioning System should be adjusted so that the surface remains uniformly taut across the entire width and height, preventing any optical distortion during projection. If your installation includes a remote control, pair it with the screen according to the manufacturer’s instructions and test the control range to ensure reliable operation from the seating area. If a wall switch is used, test that control as well and ensure both control methods operate the screen correctly.

Finally, align your projector with the screen. Verify that the projector’s throw distance and keystone corrections deliver a perfectly centered image on the 119-inch surface. Make minor adjustments to projector position and screen tension as needed to optimize focus, brightness, and contrast. After installation, perform a full content test—video, slides, and static graphics—to confirm uniform brightness, crisp edge geometry, and consistent color reproduction. Regular maintenance includes keeping the screen surface clean with a soft, dry cloth and inspecting the housing and motor for any signs of wear or loose hardware. Proper care will help preserve the screen’s flatness and the accuracy of its tensioning system over time.
