Carefully unpack screen and remove outer wrapping from case.
Remove the black tape and rubber bands from the slat bar after the
case has been installed.
The Large Cosmopolitan®Electrol®comes with brackets to allow for
wall mount or ceiling mount installations. Procedures for each
method are as follows:
Wall Mount
1. The wall mount bracket should be fastened to wall studs or
some reinforcement within the wall. Concrete or brick walls
require special fasteners and anchors.
2. The wall bracket has holes spaced at 16" and 24" to align with
most wall studs.
3. The bracket must be level and plumb.
4. Keep in mind you will need at least 2-3/4" between the ceiling
and the top of the wall mount bracket to be able to position
the case on the bracket.
5. Mount the screen case on the wall bracket as shown in
figure 1. Be sure the case is fully seated on the bracket.
Tighten the stop screws against the wall bracket.
Ceiling Mount
1. Be sure the ceiling has adequate reinforcement to attach the
screen brackets.
2. Attach the ceiling brackets to the wall mount bracket using
the supplied 5/16" x 3/4" bolts, washers and nuts.
3. Position the ceiling bracket assembly on the ceiling and
attach with 5/16" bolts (not supplied). The bolts should be
long enough to pass through the drywall or ceiling tile and
penetrate at least 1-1/2" into the reinforcement in the ceiling.
4. Mount the screen on the wall bracket as shown in figure 2.
Be sure the case is fully seated on the bracket. Tighten the
stop screws against the wall bracket.

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. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when

3. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons.

LARGE COSMOPOLITAN®ELECTROL®INSTALLATION FOR SCREENS WITHOUT A BUILT-IN LOW VOLTAGE
CONTROL
Internal wiring has been completed at the factory. Installer must route power to the wall switch and to the junction box
located on the left end of the screen case.
See wiring diagram below for wire connections.
NOTE: This screen can only be controlled by a single 120VAC or 240VAC wall switch. To use multiple switches, an optional low
voltage control must be used.
240 VOLT WIRING DIAGRAM FOR STANDARD WALL SWITCH:
Da-Lite offers two styles of 240 volt wall switches for standard operation.
Please see wiring diagram in wall switch boxes included with screen.

SETTING THE UP LIMIT POSITION
CAUTION: Do not allow the slat bar to wrap over the top of the roller when the screen is rolling into the case. The screen could
be damaged.
SCREEN TRAVELS INTO CASE TOO FAR:
Turn the up limit switch screw clockwise to decrease the amount of travel. Run the screen up to test the stop
position. If the screen does not stop properly, lower the screen about one foot and turn the limit switch again.
Repeat until the desired position is set.
SCREEN DOES NOT TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH INTO CASE:
Turn the up limit switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of up travel. Run the screen up to test the
stop position. If more travel is desired, lower the screen about one foot and adjust the limit switch again. Repeat
until the desired position is set.

s
!
Screen travel is stopped automatically in the down and up positions by the limit switches that are preset at the factory.
No further adjustment is necessary.
If you need to make minor stop position adjustments see the appropriate step below.
SETTING THE DOWN LIMIT POSITION
NOTE: One turn of the limit screw equals approximately 2" of screen travel.
TO REDUCE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the down limit switch screw clockwise to decrease the
amount of screen drop. Run the screen down to test the stop
position. If the screen drops too far, raise the screen about one foot
and adjust the limit switch again. Repeat until the desired position
is set.
TO INCREASE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the down limit switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of screen drop. Run the screen down
to test the stop position. If the screen does not drop enough, raise the screen about one foot and adjust the limit
switch again. Repeat until the desired position is set. Do not adjust for more drop than what was ordered. At least
1-1/2 wraps of fabric must remain on the roller.

SCREEN AdjUSTMENT FOR 120v SCREENS WITH A BUILT-IN LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL
1. Locate the wall switch and remove the cover plate from the 3-button wall switch and remove the switch from the
junction box.
2. Locate the two tactile buttons on the back of the switch. They are square silver with black round buttons. See
Figure 4 (VPI) or Figure 5 (LVC) for diagram.
3. To adjust the down limit switch, press and hold the down tactile button until the LED on back of switch turns solid
red. This will put the motor in limit set mode. Turn the wall switch over and use the down button on front of
switch. Press and hold until the desired travel position is reached. If you travel to far down you can press the up to
move the screen upward. If you press and let go of either up or down button the motor will do a small jog in that
direction for finer adjustment of screen. Once desired position is reached turn switch over press and hold down
tactile button until the LED on back of switch blinks red twice. The down limit is now set.
4. To adjust the up limit switch, press and hold the up tactile button until the LED on back of switch turns solid green.
This will put the motor in limit set mode. Turn the wall switch over and use the up button on front of switch. Press
and hold until the desired travel position is reached. If you travel to far up you can press the down to move the
screen downward. If you press and let go of either up or down button the motor will do a small jog in that direction
for finer adjustment of screen. Once desired position is reached turn switch over press and hold up tactile button
until the LED on back of switch blinks green twice. The up limit is now set.
5. To test limit switch setting, press and release the up or down button on the wall switch to operate the screen.
6. Replace switch and cover plate on the wall.
NOTE: If the screen is in limit set mode and no buttons are pushed for 20 seconds, the LED on the back of the wall switch
will turn off, the motor will return to run mode and no changes will be saved. If this occurs, return to step 3 for
down limit adjustment or step 4 for up limit adjustment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The wall switch is REQUIRED to make any limit switch adjustments, EVEN if a third party control
system is used. Therefore, it is advised to wire the switch or provide a 3-conductor connection that is
accessible.

SCREEN AdjUSTMENT FOR 240v SCREENS WITH A BUILT-IN LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL
1. Remove the cover plate from the 3-button wall switch and remove the switch from the junction box.
2. Locate small 3-position switch on back of wall switch. See Figure 4 for 120V screens or Figure 5 for 220/240V
screens.
3. To adjust the down limit switch, slide the 3-position switch to the down position. Press and hold the down button
to run the screen down to the desired stop position. Release the button to stop the screen. DO NOT PUSH THE
STOP BUTTON.
4. When the screen is in the desired down position, slide the 3-position switch to the off (center) position. The down
limit switch is now set.
5. To adjust the up limit switch, slide the 3-position switch to the up position. Press and hold the up button to run the
screen up to the desired stop position. Release the button to stop the screen. DO NOT PUSH THE STOP
BUTTON.
6. When the screen is in the desired up position, slide the 3-position switch to the off (center) position. The up limit
switch is now set.
7. To test limit switch setting, make sure the 3-position switch is in the off (center) position. Press and release the up
or down button on the wall switch to operate the screen.
8. Replace switch and cover plate on the wall.
NOTE: If stop button is pressed, the wall switch will reverse direction. To correct this, press the stop button again. This
will reset the switch. You will have to re-set both the up and the down settings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The wall switch is REQUIRED to make any limit switch adjustments, EVEN if a third party control
system is used. Therefore, it is advised to wire the switch or provide a 4-conductor connection that is
accessible.
