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

Installing a large-format electric screen requires careful planning, secure mounting, and proper electrical connections. Follow these general steps to guide a typical installation while ensuring safety and optimal performance. Always refer to the specific product manual for exact mounting points, weight ratings, and wiring instructions.

• 1. Plan the location: Choose a wall or ceiling area with ample clearance for full screen travel. Consider projector placement, viewing height, ambient light, and access to power and control wiring.
• 2. Verify structural support: Confirm that the mounting surface and structure can support the screen’s weight and operation. Use appropriate anchors, fasteners, and brackets recommended by the manufacturer.
• 3. Prepare power and control wiring: Route power to a convenient outlet or hard-wired connection, and run low-voltage control wiring for the LVC system as required by your AV setup.
• 4. Mount the frame: Attach the wall- or ceiling-mounting brackets to the substrate, align the chassis, and secure the screen housing firmly. Check that the screen opening remains square and true during mounting.
• 5. Install the screen surface and casing: Ensure the tensioned projection surface is properly seated within the chassis and that the housing doors or covers close flush to maintain a clean finish.
• 6. Connect control and power: Link the low-voltage control wiring to your automation system or wall control, then connect power to the screen’s motor. Confirm wiring correspondences with the installation guide.
• 7. Test operation: Power the screen, trigger the raise and lower cycles, and observe for smooth, quiet movement and a flat, ripple-free projection surface at rest. Adjust alignment if necessary to ensure edge-to-edge straightness.
• 8. Final setup and calibration: Calibrate any integrated control presets, test with your projector’s brightness and throw distance, and document the installation for future maintenance.
