1. Carefully unpack screen.
2. Make sure to recheck measurements of screen location before installation.
1. Install screen by raising unit into position between joists at one end only. Install one lag screw in mounting bracket.
2. Level unit lengthwise with a carpenter’s level and plum level. Secure end.
3. Remove junction box cover plate.
4. Install electrical hook up that applies to your unit. Make sure to review your electrical checklist and wiring diagrams
(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 KNIFE OR ANY SHARP TOOL. REMOVE BY HAND.
5. Carefully remove tape strips securing picture surface around roller. Slat should move freely (Fig. 1).
6. Test installation by carefully running picture surface up and down several times. Be prepared to stop screen.
7. Run the picture surface upward. When the picture surface is fully up a limit switch (in the motor) is tripped and the
motor shuts off.
8. Check for satisfactory condition by operating screen a few times. CAUTION! Excessive continuous operation
may cause overheating.
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 an Allen wrench to make adjustments.
More Screen Drop
1. Place operating switch in “down” position.
2. When the screen stops, turn the “down” limit knob No. 1 (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.
NOTE: Must leave 1-1/2 wraps of fabric on roller!
Less Screen Drop
1. Raise picture surface approximately two feet above desired level.
2. Place operating switch in “off” position.
3. Turn the “down” limit knob No. 1 (Fig. 2) one-quarter turn clockwise. Test by raising picture approximately two
feet, then lower again. Repeat until desired picture surface position is attained.
