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. 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.

Optional Built-In Video Projector Interface
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

Screen Adjustment
For Screens Without A Built-In Low Voltage Control
NOTE: Use a screwdriver or 5/32" Allen wrench to make
adjustments.
SETTING THE DOWN LIMIT POSITION
To Reduce Screen Drop: Turn the white limit switch screw
clockwise to decrease the amount of screen drop. Run the
screen down to test the stop position. If the screen drops too far,
raise the screen about one foot and adjust the limit switch again.
Repeat until the desired position is set.
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 picture drop (viewing area), proceed in the following manner:
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.
ATTENTION! N'efectuez pas de réglage pour obtenir un
déroulement supérieur à celui commandé. Au moins 1 à 1/2
tour de toile doit être maintenu sur le cylindre. Cet écran
est doté de série d'une bande noire supérieure de 0 cm (0
po) ou 5 cm (2 po). Consultez la iche technique pour plus
de renseignements.
To Increase Screen Drop: Turn the white limit switch screw
counterclockwise to increase the amount of screen drop. Run the
screen down to test the stop position. If the screen does not
drop enough, raise the screen about one foot and adjust the limit
switch again. Repeat until the desired position is set. Do not
adjust for more drop than what was ordered. At least 11/2 wraps
of fabric must remain on the roller.

For Screens With A Built-In Low Voltage Control or VPI
1. Locate the wall switch and remove the cover plate from
the 3-button wall switch and remove the switch from the
junction box.
2. Locate the two tactile buttons on the back of the switch. They
are square silver with black round buttons.
3. To adjust the down limit switch, press and hold the down
tactile button until the LED on back of switch turns solid red.
This will put the motor in limit set mode. Turn the wall switch
over and use the down button on front of switch. Press and
hold until the desired travel position is reached. If you travel
to far down you can press the up to move the screen upward.
If you press and let go of either up or down button the motor
will do a small jog in that direction for iner adjustment of
screen. Once desired position is reached turn switch over
press and hold down tactile button until the LED on back of
switch blinks red twice. The down limit is now set.
4. To adjust the up limit switch, press and hold the up tactile
button until the LED on back of switch turns solid green. This
will put the motor in limit set mode. Turn the wall switch over
and use the up button on front of switch. Press and hold until
the desired travel position is reached. If you travel to far up
you can press the down to move the screen downward. If you
press and let go of either up or down button the motor will
do a small jog in that direction for iner adjustment of screen.
Once desired position is reached turn switch over press and
hold up tactile button until the LED on back of switch blinks
green twice. The up limit is now set.
5. To test limit switch setting, press and release the up or down
button on the wall switch to operate the screen.
6. Replace switch and cover plate on the wall.
NOTE: If the screen is in limit set mode and no buttons are
pushed for 20 seconds, the LED on the back of the wall
switch will turn of, the motor will return to run mode and no
changes will be saved. If this occurs, return to step 3 for down
limit adjustment or step 4 for up limit adjustment.
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.

Third Party Control For Screens With A Built-In Low Voltage Control or VPI
Control Panel
A control panel may be connected to the splitter board by using
the dry contact Up, Down and Common connections. The
control panel must provide a momentary, dry contact closure of
at least 1/2 second.
1. Use 3-conductor 2024 gauge wire to connect the control panel
to the splitter board.
2. A momentary closure across the common and up wires will be
an “up” command.
3. A momentary closure across the common and down wires will
be a “down” command.
4. A momentary closure across the common, up and down wires
will be a “stop” command.
