1. The case provides multiple attachment points for bolts, cables,
or threaded rod. Page 6 shows threaded rod installed. The
variable position-mounting bracket may be located anywhere
along the length of the case. It is recommended to keep the
brackets spaced evenly enough to distribute the weight of the
screen.
One mounting bracket is required for every 4' of case length.
The case has a self-trimming lange around the bottom. Ceiling
tiles or drywall may be placed on top of this lange to provide a
inished appearance.
2. After securing the case in the ceiling check that the case is level
and plumb.
3. Install electrical connections that apply to your unit. Review the
wiring diagrams on page 5 for proper installation.
Case 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. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while
in use.
3. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the
appliance has been dropped or damaged – until it has been
examined by a qualiied serviceman.
4. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or
contact hot surfaces.
5. 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.
6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this
appliance in water or other liquids.
7. 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.
8. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by
the manufacturer may cause a risk of ire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
Pre-Installation
1. Carefully unpack screen and remove outer wrapping from case.
2. Make sure to recheck measurements of screen location before
installation.
PLEASE NOTE: Motor Operator Projection Screen Models LADT,
LADDT, LAD and LADD must be installed in accordance with the
requirements of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code (NEC),

Screen And Roller Assembly Installation
If your screen was shipped with the motor and roller already installed proceed to step 7.
1. Remove four bolts from ends of door assembly (2 bolts on
each end) (Fig. 1). This will allow the door assembly to drop
open for access to case. For larger sizes, you will also need
to remove the door support screws.
2. Carefully unpack screen and roller assembly. Leave packing
paper on the roller.
3. Remove the square peg bracket from the motor end of the
roller assembly.
4. Remove the safety clip from the motor attachement bracket
located in the motor end of the screen housing.
5. Place the roller assembly into the case with the motor on the
left side. The limit switches should be facing down. Line up
the head of the motor with the motor attachment bracket.
6. Loosen four bolts that secure pin end mounting bracket into
housing. Lift pin end of roller into position and slide the
bracket into the roller pin. Tighten all four bolts.
7. Complete electrical hook-up by snapping motor 1/3 wire
connectors into case connectors.
8. Return to motor end and insert safety clip over casting
bracket to secure motor end.
CAUTION! Do not cut tape on fabric with a knife or any
sharp tool. Remove by hand.
9. Carefully remove tape strips securing picture surface around
roller. Slat should move freely (Fig. 2). (Only if the roller
assembly is pre installed.)
10. Test installation by operating the screen several times. Be
prepared to stop the screen. The door assembly will not
close until the wall switch is placed in the up position and
when the screen motor stops at its limit switch in the up
direction.
NOTE: Unit duty cycle is 1 minute on, 3 minutes of.
NOTE: Excessive continuous operation may cause the motor
to overheat. If this happens the motor will shut of until it
cools to a normal operating temperature.
11. Close door assembly and replace four bolts at ends of door
(2 bolts on each end) (Fig. 1).

Screen Adjustment
Recalibration
The screen controller is factory calibrated to control the screen and door sequence timing. If the line voltage varies 10% or more from
the factory setting, the door will not close properly and the unit will need to be recalibrated. The steps are:
1. The screen surface must be all the way up
2. Press and hold the stop button for 10 seconds
The screen will then run through a whole cycle and be
recalibrated upon completion. Press "up" button to close door
after recalibration.
If the screen limit switch setting is changed in the up direction,
the unit must be recalibrated. Surface travel is stopped
automatically in the fully opened and closed positions by limit
switches that are factory set at Da-Lite. Should it be necessary to
adjust for more or less drop of picture, proceed in the following
manner:
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.
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 speciication data sheet for details.
3. Recalibrate according to above instructions. Press "up" button
to close door after recalibration.
Less Screen Drop
1. Raise picture surface approximately two feet above
desired level.
2. Place operating switch in “of” 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.
4. Recalibrate according to above instructions. Press "up" button
to close door after recalibration.
Contact Da-Lite at 8006223737 if door motor needs
