How to install Da Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen
Installing a 220" electric screen requires careful planning and adherence to safety standards. Professional AV installation is recommended to ensure proper mounting, electrical supply, and alignment with your projector. The following generalized steps describe typical installation considerations:
- Choose a mounting location that provides clear projector alignment, sufficient clearance for screen travel, and a secure connection to structural elements (studs or ceiling joists for ceiling mounts, solid walls for wall mounts).
- Confirm electrical requirements and provide a dedicated switched circuit for the screen motor. Plan for the Decora-style wall switch location in a convenient, accessible spot for operators and presenters.
- Install the mounting hardware to the chosen surface. Use appropriate fasteners and anchors rated for the screen’s weight and dimensions, following the manufacturer’s guidelines. Ensure level alignment to prevent skewed image presentation.
- Attach the screen housing to the mounting brackets. Verify secure engagement and smooth travel when the screen is raised or lowered using the wall switch.
- Connect the screen motor to the electrical supply and install the wall switch. Test the raise, stop, and lower functions, confirming smooth operation without binding or excessive noise.
- Align the projector with the screen surface. Calibrate image geometry, keystone correction, and brightness to maximize contrast and sharpness across the entire 220" surface.
- Perform a final inspection to check for any signs of interference, improper clearance, or light bleed. Ensure the screen folds and unfolds without snagging and that the surface remains flat and taut when in the down position.
- Provide user instructions to occupants, including safe operation practices, routine maintenance checks, and recommended cleaning methods to preserve the surface’s tension and clarity over time.
