before installation.
NOTE: Screen is not centered in box. Screen surface
is set 18⅝" from motor end.
Ironing Board
Senior Electrols 14' wide and over contain an ironing board to
latten the fabric (long strip attached). The ironing board is part
of the screen case. Do not remove. Contact Da-Lite if the ironing
board is in need of adjustment. (Fig. 2).
Hangers (If required)
1. Make sure one hanger is approximately 25" from end
of case (motor end).
2. Make sure second hanger is approximately 11 ½" from
opposite end of case.
3. Place a third hanger on the center line of fabric.

Wall Type Hangers with ceiling hanger adapters are
standard equipment. For wall type, use wall hanger only.
For ceiling type installation, use the wall type hanger and
ceiling adapters as shown in Fig. 3 on page 4.
Recessed Above Ceiling
Other methods of installation will no doubt
suggest themselves especially in new buildings
where it would be an easy matter to provide a
recess for the screen to conceal it when not in use.
Do Not Seal In-Allow Access.
For Exposed Installation
If the screen is to be mounted in an exposed
position, it may be covered with inished plywood,
veneer paneling, plastic wall covering or a valance.

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 ire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.

4. Install electrical hook up that applies to your unit. Make
sure to review your Electrical Installation Checklists and
wiring diagrams (included) for either 120 volt switch,
220/240 volt switch, or DRC low voltage control. Unit
should be installed by a qualiied electrician.
NOTE: 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), NFPA 70.
5. Test installation by carefully running surface up and
down several times. Be prepared to stop screen.
6. Check for satisfactory condition by running screen a
few times.
NOTE: The picture surface, when rolled down, should
have a full wrap around the roller. Do not allow any part
of the roller to become exposed.
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 (viewing area), proceed in the following manner:
More Screen Drop
1. Place operating switch in “down” position.
2. When the screen stops, turn the “down” limit knob one-
quarter turn clockwise.
3. Test by raising picture surface approximately two feet, then
lower again. Repeat until desired drop is attained.
CAUTION! When screen is in bottom position, do not
adjust for more than 3" of additional drop. Roller should
not be exposed.
ATTENTION! Lorsque la surface de projection est sur la
position "Bas", ne déroulez pas la toile plus de 7,6 cm (3
po). N'exposer aucune partie du rouleau.
Less Screen Drop
1. Raise picture surface approximately two feet above desired
level.
2. Place operating switch in “of” position.
3. Turn the “down” limit knob one-quarter turn
counterclockwise.
4. Test by raising and lowering picture surface.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until desired drop is attained.
NOTE: Limit “down” switch knob controls stopping point of
picture surface in bottom position.
Limit “up” switch knob controls stopping point of picture surface
inside case.
