Da-Lite Tensioned Professional Electrol 247 Electric Projection Screen

For large venues that demand a professional-grade projection surface with dependable operation, the Da-Lite Tensioned Professional Electrol 247 Electric Projection Screen delivers. Designed for ceiling recessed, wall mounted, or suspended installation, this tensioned screen ensures a flat, ripple-free image across the full width—even in busy rooms with ambient light and variable projector configurations. The robust wooden housing and adjustable mounting brackets allow flexible installation in any environment, from theaters and lecture halls to multi-purpose auditorium spaces. With sizes available up to 21'8" wide, the Tensioned Professional Electrol is built to handle big-scale presentations, corporate events, and educational settings with ease and precision. This screen embodies Da-Lite’s commitment to image quality, durability, and installation versatility, making it a trusted choice for venues that demand consistent performance from a single, reliable projection surface.

• Engineered tensioning provides a consistently flat projection surface, eliminating waves and warping that are common with standard screens. The Electrol fabric is a high-tension surface designed to maintain alignment across the active screen area, delivering uniform brightness and improved contrast from center to edges. This makes it ideal for large-format imagery and detailed graphics in venue installs, where screen misalignment can distract audiences. The result is a crisp, professional image that remains uniform from seating to seating, even with dynamic room lighting and varying projector throw distances.
• Flexible installation options: ceiling recessed, wall mounted, or suspended from the ceiling. The wooden housing includes adjustable brackets that enable precise alignment regardless of ceiling height or room geometry. The system is designed to simplify retrofits or new builds, accommodating various mounting constraints while preserving a low-profile, professional appearance that blends with existing AV infrastructures and interior design.
• Durable construction for high-traffic venues: the screen's wooden housing and sturdy brackets resist wear in busy environments. The tensioned fabric stays taut, minimizing flutter during operation, and the housing provides robust protection for the motorized mechanism and fabric roll. Regular maintenance is straightforward, with accessible service points to keep performance consistent over years of use in educational facilities, corporate campuses, and performance spaces.
• Electric drive and quiet operation: the Electrol electric projection screen uses a motorized, remote-controlled mechanism that retracts and extends smoothly. The system is engineered for quiet performance during presentations, with safety features and built-in limit stops to prevent over-travel. The optional remote or control systems can be integrated into existing AV setups, supporting schedule-based or ad-hoc operation for events and long sessions without distracting noise.
• Size and venue readiness: available up to 21'8" wide, this tensioned screen is built to support large-format imagery and immersive viewing experiences. It accommodates a range of aspect ratios and projection distances, enabling flexible installations across lecture halls, auditoriums, and large conference venues. The combination of a heavy-duty housing, adjustable mounting brackets, and a taut projection surface empowers presenters to deliver vivid colors, edge-to-edge clarity, and consistent brightness for audiences of any size.

How to install da-lite-tensioned-professional-electrol-247-electric-projection-screen

Preparation and planning: Start by assessing the installation site to determine the best mounting method—ceiling recessed, wall-mounted, or suspended. Verify structural support and confirm clearances around the intended screen path. Review the ceiling or wall structure to accommodate the wooden housing and adjustable brackets, ensuring there is enough space for the screen to deploy and retract without obstruction.

Mounting and alignment: Use the included adjustable brackets to secure the wooden housing. Ensure the mounting frame is square and plumb across the full width of the screen. Perform a level check frequently during installation, because even slight misalignment can impact image geometry and the ability of the screen to retract smoothly. After securing the bracket hardware, double-check that the housing is firmly attached and that there is no flex or movement during operation.

Electrical connections: Connect the motorized drive system to a properly rated electrical supply in accordance with local electrical codes. If integrating with building automation or wall controls, ensure compatibility with the control interfaces and test remote transmission to verify reliable operation from the desired seating areas. Use a licensed electrician if required by local regulations.

Fabric mounting and tensioning: Extend the screen fully to confirm fabric flatness and tautness across the entire width. If any slight ripple is detected, consult the installation guide for tension adjustments or bracket realignment. Proper tensioning results in uniform brightness and crisp edges, enabling the audience to enjoy consistent image quality from every seat.

Testing and maintenance: After installation, perform multiple cycles of extension and retraction to verify smooth operation, quiet performance, and correct travel limits. Schedule routine inspections of mounting hardware, fabric condition, and motor operation, and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance to maximize durability and performance over time.
