How to install Da-Lite UTB Contour 189" Fixed Frame Projection Screen
- Prepare the installation area by locating wall studs and ensuring the mounting surface can support the frame weight. Use a level to establish a precise horizontal reference line where the top edge of the frame will sit.
- Unpack the fixed-frame components and verify that all mounting hardware is present. Lay out the frame pieces and hardware in a clear workspace to facilitate assembly and alignment during installation.
- Assemble the fixed-frame on a clean, flat surface according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the frame is square and the corners are fully secured before attaching the screen fabric to the frame if this step is required by the model.
- Position the frame on the wall and use a stud finder to locate safe fastener points. Mark the mounting locations, then drill pilot holes for the wall anchors or screws that will secure the frame to the wall.
- Secure the frame to the wall with the appropriate hardware, verifying that the frame sits level and flush against the wall. Re-check alignment after tightening the screws to avoid warping or distortion of the frame.
- Attach or tension the screen surface within the frame according to the included instructions. Ensure the surface is taut and evenly aligned to prevent wrinkles or sagging that could affect image quality.
- Connect power and signal sources, then test the projection alignment. Adjust projector throw distances and keystone correction as needed to achieve a perfectly rectangular image with uniform brightness across the screen.
- Finish by securing any edge trims or gasket elements, and perform a final evaluation of the overall setup in dim ambient lighting to verify color fidelity, contrast, and viewing comfort from multiple seating positions.
