how to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 159" Electric Projection Screen

Follow these steps to install the Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 159" Electric Projection Screen and achieve a professional, trim-free finish. Note: Ensure you comply with local codes and use appropriate mounting hardware based on your wall or ceiling structure.

• Prepare the installation area: Verify the wall or ceiling location is level and capable of supporting the screen housing. Ensure there is access to power for the electric motor, and confirm clear space for the screen to extend without obstructions.
• Check rough opening and trim integration: Since the Advantage line uses ceiling trim to conceal the rough opening, measure and verify the rough opening dimensions align with the 159" diagonal screen. Confirm that the ceiling trim is in place or ready to be installed as part of the mounting process.
• Mount the screen housing: Secure the projection screen casing to the structural supports of the ceiling or wall using the manufacturer-provided mounting hardware. Ensure the mounting surface is plumb and square, and double-check alignment so the screen exits smoothly without rubbing or binding.
• Make electrical connections: Provide a safe power source appropriate for the screen’s motor. Follow local electrical codes, connect the motor to power, and mount any required control switches or remote interfaces in a convenient location for operators.
• Attach the trim and calibrate: If required, install the integrated ceiling trim to conceal the rough opening. Power on the system to test the motion, verify smooth operation, and confirm the screen lowers and raises without snags. Align the bottom edge of the screen with your desired viewing height and adjust if needed for perfect alignment.
• Final setup and testing: Project a test image to verify image quality, brightness, and color reproduction. Check for any light leakage around the edges and ensure the surface remains wrinkle-free across the entire viewing area.
