Important Safety Instructions
When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions before using.
2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or
contact hot surfaces.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by
the manufacturer may cause a risk of ire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.

Pre-Installation
Installation
1. Carefully unpack screen and remove outer
wrapping from case.
2. Make sure to recheck measurement of screen
location before installation.
3. Remove center support brackets (on 8' and wider
screens only), reverse brackets and reinstall lush with
the top of the box.
NOTE: Unit is not to be installed in air handling space.
1. Install screen by raising unit into position between joists at
one end only. Install one lag screw or appropriate fastener in
each mounting bracket. Secure opposite end. Secure center
support brackets. Install suicient fasteners in each bracket
for secure installation.
2. Make sure unit is level and plumb.
CAUTION! Do not secure access door or seal in unit
until screen has been secured in position and properly
tested for satisfactory operation. Do not it unit so tightly
that the screen surface drop door binds. Door drops by
gravity only.
3. If you are going to cover screen door with paneling or other
materials, allow access (suitable holes or plug) to slat hook
screws (4) when servicing (Fig. 1).
4. Open access door by removing access door screws.
5. Remove junction box cover plate.

6. Remove switch assembly (boxed, located at pin end of fabric).
CAUTION! Do not cut wrapping paper or tape with knife or
any sharp tool. Remove by hand.
7. Pull orange string to remove wrapping paper.
8. Install electrical hook up that applies to your unit. Standard
installation is for a single 120VAC or 240VAC wall switch to
control the screen. Optional Control units may have been
ordered. Refer to additional instructions for the external VPI,
external low voltage control and SCB100. Refer to the
appropriate wiring diagram for your screen.
NOTE: Screen has been internally wired at DALITE. Wiring
designated “external” is completed by installer conforming to
local and national codes.
9. Lower picture surface approximately 4"-6" so that the slat will
rest on top of the slat hooks. Guide slat past hooks by gently
pulling fabric forward (Fig. 3). Do not bend hooks.
10. Test installation by carefully running picture surface up and
down 23 times. Be prepared to stop screen. Standard Duty
Cycle: 1 MIN. ON / 3 MIN. OFF.
11. Run the picture surface upward. The surface door will
automatically close when the picture surface rolls into the
case. The ends of the slat will catch the two hooks on the
surface door and pull the door closed. When the door closes,
a limit switch is tripped and the motor shuts of.
CAUTION! Excessive continuous operation may cause
overheating.
12. Run picture surface downward until picture surface
door fully opens.
13. Install junction box cover plate.
14. Close access door and reinstall screws at each end
of access door.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to restore a lost wrap by
adjusting limit switches. Allow one-eighth of an inch (1/8")
clearance around surface door. Make sure door does not
bind. Check hinges. Paint or tile cement will interfere with
free operation. Gravity drops door.
15. Complete installation by painting and inishing to suit
your needs. Finish to allow access door to be removed
if necessary.

Surface travel is stopped automatically in the fully opened and closed positions by limit switches that are properly adjusted
at Da-Lite. Should it be necessary to adjust for more or less drop of picture, proceed in the following manner:
NOTE: Use a screw driver or 5/32" allen wrench to make
adjustments.
More screen drop
1. Place operating switch in “down” position.
2. When the screen stops, turn the white “down” limit knob
(Fig.4) one-quarter turn counterclockwise. Test by raising
picture surface approximately two feet, then lower again.
Repeat until desired picture surface position is attained.
Less screen drop
1. Raise picture surface approximately two feet
above desired level.
2. Place operating switch in “of” position.
3. Turn the white “down” limit knob (Fig.4) one-quarter turn
clockwise. Test by raising picture surface approximately two
feet, then lower again. Repeat until desired picture surface
position is attained.
CAUTION! Do not adjust for more drop than what was
ordered. At least 11/2 wraps of fabric must remain on the
roller. This screen comes standard with 0" or 2" black at
the top. See the speciication data sheet for details.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Cause Solution
Door will not open
Hinge is bound or has a foreign substance on it
which does not allow it to open by gravity..
Check installation to free door. Clear any foreign substance;
i.e., paint or plaster from hinge.
Slat hooks catch on access door..
Adjust slat hooks. Door can be opened by removing four
screws holding slat hooks to door. Access should be
provided to these screws during and after installation.
Door does not close tightly. “Up” limit switch in motor is out of adjustment.
NOTE: This switch is not normally used when operating
screen. Motor automatically shuts o if fabric does not
close fabric door.
If adjustment allows motor to shut o too soon, it will
leave fabric door open. Adjust black limit switch clockwise
(towards +).
“Down” limit switch incorrect. “Down” limit switch out of adjustment. See installation instructions.
Noise.
NOTE: Screen will operate with
a low-pitched hum.
Squeaking, rubber end plug rubbing on motor. Center roller in case.
Grinding. Foreign object in screen rubbing on roller
or fabric. Remove.
Gear noise Replace motor assembly..
Coasting. Defective brake. Replace motor assembly.
Roller displaced from
mounting bracket. Pin end slipped out of nylon bearing Remove pin end mounting. Realign motor in tube. Reattach
pin end.
Fabric door hangs down on one
end.
Slat hooks not formed equally. Bend slat hook slightly or apply tape to end of slat where
door hangs. Build slat up enough to close door.
Crooked pocket. If not corrected by applying above, replace fabric.
Fabric hangs crooked or is
rubbing on slat hook.
Screen not installed properly.. Check for level and plumb.
Fabric has backed up inside case. Adjust “down” limit switch slowly until roller is exposed and
wrinkle comes out, then readjust for proper drop.
Fabric is damaged. Replace fabric.
