diagram (included) for either 120 volt switch, 220/240 volt switch, or DRC low voltage control.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the fol-
lowing:
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.

ACCESS DOOR INSTALLATION
SCREEN ADJUSTMENT
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, proceed in the following manner:
NOTE: Use a screw driver or Allen wrench to make adjustments.

6. Carefully remove shipping brackets by removing the hex head screws from aluminum slat and case. Slat should
move freely (Fig. 2).
CAUTION! Remove shipping brackets before operating screen.
7. Test installation by carefully running picture surface up and down several times. Be prepared to stop screen.
NOTE: When rolled down, the picture surface should wrap fully around the roller. No part of the roller should be exposed.
Picture surface will automatically stop in the down position.
8. Run the picture surface upward. The surface door will automatically close when the picture surface rolls into the
case. A second motor pulls the door closed. When the door closes, a limit switch is tripped and the motor shuts
off.
9. Check for satisfactory condition by operating screen a few times.
CAUTION! Excessive continuous operation may cause overheating. If this happens, the motor will shut off until it cools to nor-
mal operating temperature.

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.
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 white “down” limit switch (Fig. 2) one-quarter turn clockwise. Test by raising picture surface approxi-
mately two feet, then lower again. Repeat until desired picture surface position is attained.
If the surface door does not close flush with the roller access door, it may become necessary to adjust the door
limit switch (Fig. 2). Turn the adjusting knob counterclockwise in increments of one-quarter turn until the surface
door is flush with the roller access door.
