PRE-INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION
HANGERS (If required)
1. Make sure one hanger is approximately 25" from end of case (motor end).
2. Make sure second hanger is approximately 111⁄2" from opposite end of case.
3. Place a third hanger on the center line of fabric.
4. Make sure hangers are placed to fit into notches provided on screens equipped with an ironing board.
5. Make sure hanger used on motor end does not interfere with motor access door.
1. Carefully unpack screen and remove outer wrapping from case.
2. Remove instruction cover plate (Fig. 1). Do not remove metal shipping brace (secures roller), wrapping paper, or tape
strips until screen is installed.
3. Make sure to recheck measurement of screen location before installation.
NOTE: Screen is not centered in box. Screen surface is set 185⁄8" from motor end.
IRONING BOARD
Some Senior Electrols, depending on size and type of picture surface, contain an ironing board to flatten the fabric (long
strip attached). The ironing board is part of the screen. Do not remove or alter (Fig. 2).

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 3.
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 finished plywood, veneer pan-
eling, 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 ser-
vice 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.

SCREEN ADJUSTMENT
2
Surface travel is stopped automatically in the fully opened and closed positions by limit switches that are properly ad-
justed 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.
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 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.
1. Level unit lengthwise with a carpenter's level and plum level.
CAUTION! DO NOT COMPLETELY SEAL IN UNIT. ACCESS ROOM MUST BE ALLOWED FOR MOTOR REPAIR OR FABRIC
REPLACEMENT.
2. Remove shipping brace by removing 3 hex head screws (Fig. 2).
CAUTION! DO NOT CUT WRAPPING PAPER OR TAPE WITH KNIFE OR ANY SHARP TOOL. REMOVE BY HAND.
3. Remove wrapping paper and tape strips (Fig. 2).
4. Install electrical hook up that applies to your unit. Make sure to review your Electrical Installation Checklists and wir-
ing diagrams (included) for either 120 volt switch, 220/240 volt switch, or DRC low voltage control. Unit should be in-
stalled by a qualified 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.

NOTE: Adjustments should not be necessary to screen in the rolled up or closed position. If necessary, use the following
procedures:
PICTURE SURFACE ROLLS TOO FAR INTO CASE
1. Lower picture surface approximately two feet with operating switch.
2. Place operating switch in “off” position.
3. Turn the “up” limit knob one-quarter turn clockwise.
4. Press operating switch to raise picture surface. Repeat operation if
picture surface continues to roll too far into case.
PICTURE SURFACE DOES NOT ROLL COMPLETELY INTO CASE
1. Place operating switch in “up” position.
2. Turn the “up” limit knob one-quarter turn counterclockwise.
3. Test by lowering picture surface approximately two feet with operating switch, then raise picture. Repeat operation
if desired position is not reached.
