Tools Required for 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. 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.
Pre-Installation
Prior to Retroit installation, you will need to run a CAT5 or
CAT5e network cable from the motor end of your screen to
the area in which your computer will be located. THE CAT5
CABLE IS NOT PROVIDED. The length of the CAT5 cable cannot
exceed 200 feet. See Pre-Installation of ViewShare Screen and
Roller Assembly and Camera and Speakerphone Installation
sections for additional details on CAT5 cable connections.
NOTE: It requires at least two people to install a ViewShare
Retroit.

Removal of Old Screen and Roller Assembly
1. Run the screen to the up position.
2. Remove the access door by removing the screws from each end
(Figure 1). Be sure to support the door during this step to avoid
injury. Lift the door slightly and pull away from the edge of the
case.
3. Unplug 3 or 4 wire motor connector and RJ22/45 cable (if
applicable) from the junction box. See Appendix A for motor type
details.
4. Remove retainer clip from the motor (Figure 2).
NOTE: Save retainer clip for use in the installation of the
ViewShare screen and roller assembly.
5. Loosen (but do not remove) four ¼ – 20 nuts securing pin end
bracket (opposite end from the junction box) to the case housing.
While supporting the screen and roller, slide the pin end bracket
towards the end of the case and remove the existing screen and
roller assembly (Figure 3).
NOTE: Some units may only have two nuts per bracket.

Pre-Installation of ViewShare Screen and Roller Assembly
1. Remove existing motor and pin end roller assembly brackets
from inside the case.
NOTE: At this point the inside of case will be empty except for
the junction box connections on the motor end.
2. Remove a single circular knockout from motor end of case for
CAT5 cable needed in the Installation of ViewShare Screen and
Roller Assembly (Figure 4).
NOTE: The CAT5 cable should be run from the Local CAT5 to
USB Extender in Camera and Speakerphone Installation to this
location. Final connection of this CAT5 cable running through the
knockout will occur in Step 10 of Installation of ViewShare Screen
and Roller Assembly.
3. Place the two spacing gaskets (shown in Figure 5) on the bracket
bolts with ¼” – ½” of the bolts showing through the bottom
(Figure 6).
4. Slide the motor end spacing gasket until it makes contact with
the end of the case (Figure 7).
5. Slide the pin end spacing gasket until it is approximately 1 ½
inches from the end of the case (Figure 8).
6. Carefully unpack the new ViewShare screen and roller assembly
and set aside. Be sure to leave the packing paper on the roller.
NOTE: If your screen and roller assembly was ordered with a
new motor, please proceed to “Installation of ViewShare Screen
and Roller Assembly”. If you are utilizing your existing motor,
please continue to “Transfer of Existing Motor”.

are pulling the motor out of the roller as this will change the limit
switch settings.
2. Remove the black L-bracket from pin end of roller (Figure 11).
3. Unscrew shipping brackets from slat and gently lay slat behind
roller (Figure 10).

NOTE: When transferring the existing motor into the roller,
be careful to avoid unintentional damage to the screen and
arm assemblies.
10. Lower the roller, slide the bracket onto the motor end of roller
and insert retainer clip (Figure 14).
11. Align the motor end bracket using the mounting holes as
a guide and tighten the motor end arm bracket nut (Figure 12).
12. Re-attach the black L-bracket on the pin end of the roller (Figure 10).

Installation of ViewShare Screen and Roller Assembly
NOTE: The ViewShare screen and roller assembly, which
includes brackets and arms, must be installed as a complete unit.
Do not attempt to disassemble these components during
installation.
1. Remove two ¼ – 20 nuts from pin end and motor end mounting
brackets on the ViewShare screen and roller assembly shipping
board (Figure 15).
NOTE: If you transferred you existing motor, the motor end nuts
have already been removed.
2. Remove screws from both L-brackets that hold the slat in place
and carefully allow the slat to rest behind the ViewShare screen
and roller assembly (Figure 15).
NOTE: If you transferred your existing motor, the L-brackets have
already been removed.
3. Install ViewShare screen and roller assembly by placing the unit
inside of case and secure motor end bracket by aligning bracket
holes with bolts. Secure with two ¼ – 20 nuts (Figure 16).
4. After the motor end is completed in Step 3, secure pin end by
aligning bracket holes with bolts. Secure with two ¼ – 20 nuts
(Figure 16).
5. Once both ends are secured, ensure that the mounting brackets
are parallel with both ends of the case (Figure 16).
NOTE: Brackets must be parallel with the case to ensure proper
alignment of arms. Misalignment may cause damage to screen
surface and arm assemblies.

NOTE: If you transferred your existing motor, this bracket was
removed in the previous section.
7. Complete electrical hook-up by plugging in 3 or 4 wire motor
connector and RJ22/45 cable (if applicable) to the junction box.
See Appendix A for motor type details. (Figure 18).
8. Carefully remove paper and tape from roller assembly. DO NOT
use knife or sharp object to cut tape or you will damage the
screen.
9. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times. Be
prepared to stop screen should any objects obstruct the
movement of the screen. To prevent damage to the motor, the
standard duty cycle is 1 minute on and 3 minutes of.
NOTE: The up and down limits were pre-set by Da-Lite, but might
have shifted during installation. If your screen and roller assembly
needs adjustment, please see Appendix A for your motor type.

Installation of ViewShare Screen and Roller Assembly (continued)
10. Remove the USB to CAT5 extender labeled “Remote” from the
shipping carton. At the motor end of the case, attach the USB
cable coming from the ViewShare screen and roller assembly. On
the other end of the USB to CAT5 extender, attach the CAT5
cable that was run through the circular knockout. Remove the
non-adhesive side of the tape and carefully allow the USB to
CAT5 extender to hang freely (Figure 19).
NOTE: The USB to CAT5 connection will allow the integrated
ViewShare camera to interface with the other ViewShare
hardware components installed in the Camera and
Speakerphone Installation section.
11. Re-install the access door. Before inserting completely, adhere the
USB to CAT5 Extender to the inside of the access door out of
view of the audience. Complete installation by sliding the access
door into place and insert the screws into each end (Figure 20).
