INSTALLATION
The Deluxe Model B must be suspended from
the ceiling or used with extension type wall
brackets to allow room for the Automatic
Tensionizer.
FOR WALL MOUNTING
Special extension wall
brackets such as Da-Lite’s
No. 6, No. 11 or No.23
brackets must be used if
screen is to be wall
mounted. Check with your
dealer to determine which
best fits your needs.
Brackets should be fastened
securely to a solid surface
such as a wooden
reinforcement board and not
in the plaster only. Rarely
will wall studs be found to
support both ends of a
screen. Various types of
fasteners are available from
local hardware stores.
FOR CEILING SUSPENSION
If the screen is to be ceiling
mounted, two screw hooks
placed in a beam or other
solid surface will do the job.
For dropped ceilings, Da-
Lite’s T-Bar Scissors Clip
may be purchased.
NOTE: Whichever method is used, the screen
should be free to swing forward and back and
not be anchored rigidly. Mount the screen so
that bottom of picture surface, when fully
extended, will be above heads of viewers.
YOU HAVE MADE A WISE
SELECTION…
Care in mounting and care in correct
operation will mean a long and satisfac-
tory life for your Da-Lite wall/ceiling
screen. Locate the screen where the
audience can best see it.

SETTING UP YOUR SCREEN
These illustrations (all rear views for
simplification) show how easy the Deluxe
Model B Screen is to operate.
1. To start unrolling the
picture surface, pull down
on cord pull knob. Then
with hand resting on the
handle, pull screen down.
2. The Automatic
TENSIONIZER moves into
position in a precision-
like manner.
3. When surface is down,
a simple press of
contour-shaped handle
locks it into position…
ready for the show!
4. To re-roll picture
surface–press firmly
downward and counter-
clockwise on flat handle
to release lock. Permit
surface to re-roll rapidly
into case. Control upward
movement by lightly
holding handle or cord
pull knob.
PROTECT YOUR SCREEN by keeping it rolled in
its case when not in use. Always examine both
front and back of surface before re-rolling into
case to make certain screen is free of dust, dirt
or other foreign matter. Use a very soft duster,
brush gently to remove foreign particles.
SILVER LENTICULAR PICTURE SURFACES
Silver Lenticular surfaces are
sensitive to temperature changes
which may temporarily cause
slight unevenness after a screen
has been rolled up for a time. If
uneven when first opened for use,
put on normal tension with the ten-
sioning device and allow it to
stand at room temperature of 70 to 75 degrees for five
or ten minutes. The surface will equalize itself and be
normally flat for projection in a very short time.

not in the plaster only.

ADJUSTMENT NOTE
NOTE: Tensioning of the Deluxe Model B
picture surface was made at the factory.
Should more tension be required, the screw in
the channel holding the upper tension arm
assembly should be moved upward in holes
allotted for this purpose. For any adjustment, it
is recommended that the screen be removed,
placed on a flat surface and a pair of pliers and
a Phillips screwdriver be used in removing the
screw and nut.
PROTECT YOUR SCREEN
Before re-rolling surface into case, examine
both front and back of surface to be sure they
are free of foreign matter.
