how to install Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen

• Plan mounting location: Choose a sturdy wall or ceiling location with ample space for the 208-inch diagonal when fully retracted and extended. Verify structural support and clearance above the screen path.
• Prepare mounting surface: Locate and mark studs or use appropriate anchors for ceiling or wall installation. Ensure the surface is flat and free of obstructions that could interfere with screen travel.
• Electrical readiness: Provide a dedicated power supply for the screen motor. Install the outlet or junction box in a location that keeps wiring out of sight and conforms to local electrical codes. Ensure power is off during installation.
• Mount the screen assembly: With assistance, lift and align the screen housing to the chosen mounting surface. Use the included mounting hardware to secure the housing squarely and firmly. Check for level alignment to ensure smooth operation and proper screen alignment when deployed.
• Connect controls and test: Wire the Decora-style three-position wall switch to the screen’s motor control circuit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Restore power, extend the screen fully, and then retract to verify smooth, quiet operation and correct travel limits.
• Final setup and adjustments: If available, configure any optional remote control, sensor, or automation integrations. Clean the screen surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the surface finish.
