it must be installed with the plenum cover available from
Da-Lite Screen.
This unit must be installed in accordance with the requirements
of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC),

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.

7. The Da-Lift comes with factory installed preset limit switches.
See Figure 9. If obstructions above the ceiling will prohibit easy
access to the switches, the switches may be moved to the
opposite side of the Da-Lift.
The “up” and “down” positions of the projector may be changed.
To allow the projector to go higher, raise the “Up” Limit Switch
Bracket. To allow the projector to go lower, increase the height of
the “Down” Limit Switch Stop Brackets. There are safety stops to
keep the projector from going too far. Do not allow the Da-Lift to
hit the safety stops.
8. Attach Da-Lift to the structural ceiling. See Figure 10.
9. Lower Da-Lift by connecting the power supply to 120 volt or
220 volt AC power. Use the switch shown to operate the Da-Lift.
See Figure 11. The “Stop” button is needed only for intermediate
stopping.
WARNING! Avoid pinch points when operating
Da-Lift with built-in switch.
AVERTISSEMENT! Évitez les points de pincement lorsque le
Da-Lift avec interrupteur intégré est mis en marche.

an “up” command.
c. A momentary closure across the white and black wires will
be a “down” command.
d. A momentary closure across the white, red, and black wires
will be a “stop” command.
CAUTION: Never apply voltage to the wall switch leads or the
Da-Lift will be damaged.
ATTENTION: N'appliquez jamais une tension aux ils du
commutateur mural sinon le Da-Lift sera endommagé.
