The Da-Lite Tensioned Large Cosmopolitan Electrol is designed for high-traffic, large-venue environments where image quality, reliability, and a clean aesthetic matter as much as the performance itself. This ceiling- or wall-mounted electric projection screen is engineered to deliver consistent, professional-grade results in auditoriums, conference centers, lecture halls, and immersive presentation spaces. With a robust, tensioned surface and a sleek, low-profile profile when retracted, the Cosmopolitan Electrol line blends seamlessly into modern interiors while providing the premium performance expected from Da-Lite. Available in multiple finishes to suit any décor, this 188" diagonal screen is built to stay perfectly flat in operation thanks to advanced mechanical designs and durable materials.

• Impressive 188-inch diagonal for expansive audience viewing: This large-format Cosmopolitan Electrol screen is ideal for venues where audience seating extends far from the display, delivering a commanding visual presence without compromising image clarity or detail.
• Tensioned surface with Slim-Tab design: The Slim-Tab system provides a lower profile, stronger tab construction that keeps the screen perfectly taut, reducing wrinkles and ensuring uniform image width from edge to edge for pristine projection results.
• Smooth Roll Technology for a flat, pristine image: Da-Lite’s Smooth Roll Technology minimizes warping and maintains a consistently flat screen surface during operation, so the projection remains crisp and free of wave-like distortions even in high-gain environments.
• Versatile finishes for architectural harmony: A range of finishes lets you match the screen housing and surrounding décor, from contemporary whites to richer metallic tones, ensuring the screen blends with your space while preserving contrast and brightness.
• Ceiling- or wall-mounted installation with easy motorized operation: The Electrol motorized setup offers convenient ceiling- or wall-mounted installation options, enabling flexible room configurations and effortless screen handling with a remote or wall switch for seamless presentations.

How to Install Da-Lite Tensioned Large Cosmopolitan Electrol 188" Electric Projection Screen

• Step 1: Plan the installation location. Choose a ceiling or wall mounting site that can support the full weight of the screen housing and allow for smooth operation of the motorized mechanism. Verify access to a nearby electrical outlet or ensure a provisioned power source with appropriate circuit protection for the Electrol motor. Measure viewing distance and determine whether the 188" diagonal meets room requirements and seating alignment to minimize keystone distortion.
• Step 2: Prepare the mounting framework. Use heavy-duty mounting brackets rated for motorized screens and the screen’s size. Confirm stud or structural reinforcement in the mounting plane and ensure there is a clear path for the screen to lower and retract without obstruction. Have a certified technician assist with electrical connections if required by local code.
• Step 3: Install the housing and bracket assembly. Secure the ceiling or wall brackets to the prepared surface, ensuring the brackets are plumb and level to prevent any tilt that could affect screen travel or projection edge alignment. Attach the screen housing securely, then verify that the motorized roller mechanism rotates freely and without resistance when manually tested along the travel path.
• Step 4: Connect power and configure controls. Wire the Electrol motor to a grounded power source following the manufacturer’s wiring diagram and safety guidelines. Test the remote control or wall switch to confirm smooth ascent and descent, verify auto-stops at full retraction and full extension, and check for any unusual noise or vibration during operation. If available, integrate with room control systems (wall panels, automation, or projector triggers) to synchronize screen movement with presentation start times.
• Step 5: Calibrate tension and alignment. Once the screen is mounted, perform a final check for tautness across the entire surface. Ensure the surface remains flat during motion and in the fully extended position. If needed, adjust the Slim-Tab tension and check the throw distance between the projector and the screen to guarantee an optimal image height. Finish by cleaning the surface and housing exterior to remove dust or fingerprints prior to first use.
