How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan 100" Electric Projection Screen
- Plan the installation location. Ensure a sturdy ceiling or wall surface with clear space for the screen to extend and retract without obstruction, and verify access to a suitable power outlet for the motorized motor.
- Choose mounting orientation. Decide between ceiling or wall mounting based on room configuration, viewing height, and projection distance. Use a level to ensure the mounting surface is plumb for an even screen drop.
- Attach mounting hardware. Secure the mounting brackets to wall studs or ceiling joists as recommended by Da-Lite’s installation guidelines. Use appropriate fasteners and confirm full load-bearing capability for the screen size.
- Install the screen housing and surface. Hang or anchor the housing securely, then carefully unroll the projection surface to verify smooth operation and tautness once fully extended. Check for any obstructions in the projection path.
- Connect power and test operation. Plug the system into a properly grounded outlet and test the Decora-style three-position wall switch to extend, retract, and pause the screen. Ensure the surface remains flat across the entire width during motion and when fully extended.
- Fine-tune and finalize. If necessary, adjust mounting alignment to achieve optimal leveling and image geometry. Confirm that the screen retracts completely and remains taut when stored to prevent creases or misalignment in future uses.
