PRE-INSTALLATION
1
INSTALLATION
1. Install screen by raising unit into position between joists at one end only. Install lag screws in mounting bracket or
hang from 3/8" rods.
2. Level unit lengthwise with a carpenter’s level and plumb level. Secure opposite end.
CAUTION! Do not secure access door or seal in until screen has been secured in position and properly tested for satisfactory
operation.
3. Remove screw at each end of roller access door (Fig. 1).
4. Remove junction box cover plate.
If your screen has the built in SCB-100 or SCB-200, please refer to separate instructions.
5. Install electric hook up that applies to your unit. Make sure to review your electrical installation checklist and wiring
diagram (included) for either 120 volt switch, 220/240 volt switch, or DRC low voltage control.
NOTE: Screen has been internally wired at Da-Lite. Wiring designated “external” is completed by installer conforming to local
and national codes.
CAUTION! DO NOT CUT TAPE ON FABRIC WITH A KNIFE OR ANY SHARP TOOL. REMOVE BY HAND.
1. Carefully unpack screen and remove outer wrapping from case.
2. Make sure to recheck measurements of screen location before installation.

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
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

1. Run picture surface downward until picture surface door fully opens.
2. Install junction box cover plate.
3. Close access door.
4. Install screws at each end of access door.
ACCESS DOOR INSTALLATION
SCREEN ADJUSTMENT
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.

6. Carefully remove tape strips securing picture surface around roller. Slat should move freely (Fig. 2).
7. Test installation by carefully running picture surface up and down several times. Be prepared to stop screen.
NOTE: When rolled down, the picture surface should wrap fully around the roller. No part of the roller should be exposed.
Picture surface will automatically stop in the down position.
8. Run the picture surface upward. The surface door will automatically close when the picture surface rolls into the
case. A second motor pulls the door closed. When the door closes, a limit switch is tripped and the motor shuts
off.
9. Check for satisfactory condition by operating screen a few times.
CAUTION! Excessive continuous operation may cause overheating. If this happens, the motor will shut off until it cools to
normal operating temperature

MORE SCREEN DROP
1. Place operating switch in “down” position.
2. When the screen stops, turn the white “down” limit knob (Fig. 2) one-quarter turn counterclockwise. 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 specification data sheet for details.
LESS SCREEN DROP
1. Raise picture surface approximately two feet above desired level.
2. Place operating switch in “off”position.
3. Turn the white “down” limit switch (Fig. 2) one-quarter turn clockwise. Test by raising picture surface
approximately two feet, then lower again. Repeat until desired picture surface position is attained.
