PRE-INSTALLATION
1
CASE INSTALLATION
1. The case provides multiple attachment points for bolts, cables, or threaded rod. Page 7 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 flange around the bottom. Ceiling tiles or drywall may be placed on top of this flange
to provide a finished 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 pages 4, 5 and 6 for proper
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), NFPA 70. An appropriate disconnect
device shall be provided as part of the building 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 qualified 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
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

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 off.
NOTE: Excessive continuous operation may cause the motor to overheat. If this happens the motor will shut off 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).

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 specification data sheet for details.
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 approximately
two feet, then lower again. Repeat until desired picture surface position is attained.
s
!
SCREEN ADJUSTMENT
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.
