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.

The Da-Lite Difference.

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
should be placed in a beam
or other solid surface. For
drop ceilings, Da-Lite’s T-Bar
Clips may be purchased.
SETTING UP YOUR SCREEN
These illustrations (all rear views for
simplification) show how easy the Deluxe
Model B Screen is to operate.
1. Remove plastic protective
wrap from handle and
tension arm.
2. To start unrolling the
picture surface, pull down
on cord pull knob. Then
with hand resting on the
handle, pull screen down.
3. The automatic
tension arm moves into
position in a precision-
like manner.
4. When surface is down,
a simple press of
contour-shaped handle
locks it into position…
ready for the show!
5. 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
to gently remove any foreign particles.
 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.
