When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions before using.
2. Maximum surrounding air temperature 122°F (50°C).
3. Main disconnect must be incorporated in the ixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules.
4. Rated for indoor use only.
5. Use copper rated conductors rated 167°F (75°C) or higher.
6. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualiied persons in
order to avoid hazard.
7. Supplied drive is only intended for use in Da-Lite screen models
Advantage, Contour, and Cosmopolitan.
8. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or
contact hot surfaces.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at
least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when repair
work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock
when the appliance is used subsequently.
11. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause a risk of ire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
12. Failure to provide adequate structural strength for this
component can result in serious personal injury or damage to
equipment! It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure the
structure to which this component is attached can support the
weight of all equipment. Reinforce the structure as required
before installing the component.
13. Use this projection screen only for its intended use as described
in these instructions. Do not use attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer.

Tools Required for Installation
1. Hang case and attach to support structure with bolts.
See Suggested Methods of Installation.
2. Tighten bolts until trim lange is lush with ceiling.
NOTE: For proper operation, case must be levelled side to
side and front to back.
3. Remove 2 screws to open junction box. Install electrical
connections that apply to your unit. Make sure to review the
wiring diagram for proper hook up. Replace junction box
cover and secure with 2 screws.
NOTE: Must be installed in accordance with the requirements
of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code (NEC),
NFPA 70.
Case Installation
Pre-Installation
1. Carefully unpack case from shipping carton.
2. Set aside the Installation Kit. Items inside will be used during
installation.
3. Make sure to recheck measurement of case for proper
installation clearance.
4. Remove any protective foam covering the outside of
the case.
#2 Phillips Screwdriver 1/2“ Open Wrench
or Socket Driver
5. For shipping purposes, foam is also inserted between the
roller brackets and end caps (Figure 1). Remove these foam
blocks from the ends.
6. Remove the hanger brackets from the top of the case using a
1/2” wrench. Do not discard the hardware; it will be used
during case installation to re-attach the hanger brackets for
mounting.
If your case was ordered in advance of the screen and
roller assembly, your installation is now complete.
Continue to step 4 if your Advantage Electrol was ordered
as a complete unit.
4. Carefully remove paper and tape from roller assembly.
DO NOT use a knife or sharp object to cut tape; you will
damage the screen. Pull orange string..
5. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times.
Be prepared to stop screen should any objects obstruct the
movement of the screen. To prevent damage to the motor,
the standard duty cycle is 1 minute on and 3 minutes of.

Follow these steps if your screen and roller assembly was ordered separately from the case.
1. Remove the access door. First, remove the 2 screws from the
ends. Be sure to support the door during this step to avoid
injury. Then lift the door slightly and pull away from the edge
of the case (Figure 1).
2. Carefully unpack screen and roller assembly. Leave packing
paper on roller.
3. To install screen and roller assembly, loosen (but do not
remove) four 1/420 nuts securing pin end bracket (opposite
end from the junction box) to the case housing. Slide the pin
end bracket towards the end of the case (Figure 2).
4. Insert the motor end square shaft into the motor end bracket
(junction box end) and secure with the cotter pin. (Figure 2).
5. Moving to the pin end of the case, slide the pin end bracket
until the hole its securely over the pin and secure with the
cotter pin. Tighten the 1/420 nuts on the pin end bracket
securely (Figure 2).
6. Complete electrical hook-up by snapping motor wire
connector into case connector (Figure 2).
7. Carefully remove paper and tape from roller assembly.
DO NOT use a knife or sharp object to cut tape; you will
damage the screen. Pull orange string.
8. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times.
Be prepared to stop screen should any objects obstruct the
movement of the screen. To prevent damage to the motor,
the standard duty cycle is 1 minute on and 3 minutes of.
9. Re-install the access door. Procedure is the reverse of step 1
listed above.

CAUTION: The projector must be turned of before
connecting the trigger wires to the projector. Failure to
do so may damage the controller.
ATTENTION: Le projecteur doit être éteint avant de
brancher les ils de déclenchement à celui-ci. Tout
manquement à cette instruction pourrait endommager le
contrôleur.
Use 2-conductor 1824 gauge wire to extend the low voltage
connection from the projector’s 5 or 12-volt screen trigger output
to the length required to reach the VPI.
NOTE: When extending the low voltage connection from the
projector’s screen trigger output polarity does not matter. The
red and black wires from the VPI are interchangeable.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The wall switch is REQUIRED to make any
limit switch adjustments, EVEN if a third party control system is
used. Therefore, it is advised to wire the switch or provide a
3-conductor connection that is accessible.
3-conductor 2024 gauge wire can be used in place of the
supplied RJ14 cable to connect the wall switch. Connect the BUS
terminals on the wall switch to the corresponding BUS terminals
on the splitter board.
See 120V or 220V wiring diagram for complete wiring
instructions.
