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.

Screen Adjustment For Screens Without A Built-In Low Voltage Control
120V Wiring Diagram with Optional Built-In Video Projector Interface
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:
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 (Figure
3) 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.
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.
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.
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 20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. 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.

Screen Adjustment For 120V 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. See Figure 4 (VPI)
or Figure 5 (LVC) for diagram.
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.

Screen Adjustment For 220V/240V Screens with A Built-In Low Voltage Control
1. Remove the cover plate from the 3-button wall switch and
remove the switch from the junction box.
2. Locate small 3-position switch on back of wall switch.
(See Figure 6)
3. To adjust the down limit switch, slide the 3-position switch to
the down position. Press and hold the down button to run the
screen down to the desired stop position. Release the button
to stop the screen. DO NOT PUSH THE STOP BUTTON.
4. When the screen is in the desired down position, slide the
3-position switch to the of (center) position. The down limit
switch is now set.
5. To adjust the up limit switch, slide the 3-position switch to the
up position. Press and hold the up button to run the screen
up to the desired stop position. Release the button to stop
the screen. DO NOT PUSH THE STOP BUTTON.
6. When the screen is in the desired up position, slide the
3-position switch to the of (center) position. The up limit
switch is now set.
7. To test limit switch setting, make sure the 3-position switch
is in the of (center) position. Press and release the up or
down button on the wall switch to operate the screen.
8. Replace switch and cover plate on the wall.
NOTE: If stop button is pressed, the wall switch will reverse
direction. To correct this, press the stop button again. This
will reset the switch. You will have to re-set both the up
and the down settings.
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 4-conductor connection that is accessible.
