How to install Da-Lite Floor Model C 150" Manual Projection Screen

Installing the Da-Lite Floor Model C is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime between events. Follow these practical steps to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the screen:

1) Select a suitable location. Choose a clean, level surface with enough clearance in front of the screen to accommodate the projection throw from your projector and to allow full extension of the screen. Ensure the area behind the screen is free of obstructions, cables, and any objects that could interfere with the casing or the projection path.

2) Position the screen in relation to the projector. Align the projected image with the screen’s vertical and horizontal centerlines. The projector should be at the recommended distance to achieve the desired image size on the 150-inch diagonal surface. Check that ambient light levels are managed to avoid glare and reduce washout on the screen.

3) Place the case on a stable, level surface. The carpeted Floor Model C housing should rest securely to prevent movement during operation. If possible, position the screen so that the bottom edge will be approximately eye level for seated viewers, ensuring comfortable viewing angles from the majority of seating arrangements in the room.

4) Unfold and extend the screen. Gently pull down on the bottom bar, allowing the screen to unroll to its full height. With the reduced spring tension, the screen should extend smoothly and halt at the desired height. Confirm the screen is vertical and free of creases, then lightly glide the bottom bar to ensure even tension along the surface.

5) Secure the screen for use. Ensure the projection surface is flat and fully extended without warps. If the design includes adjustable stops or alignment features, set them to provide a straight, square image with the projector. Before starting a presentation, perform a quick image check to confirm alignment, brightness, and color reproduction with your projector’s settings.

6) Maintenance and care. After use, avoid forcing the screen back into the case. Allow the surface to relax briefly if it has been held at a high tension for an extended period, then retract slowly and evenly. Clean the surface with a soft, microfiber cloth and, if needed, use a gentle screen-cleaning solution recommended by the manufacturer. Regularly inspect the case, spring tension mechanism, and bottom bar for signs of wear or damage, and address any issues promptly to maintain reliable performance.

7) Removal and storage. When the event is finished, slowly retract the screen into the housing to protect the surface and mechanism. Store the unit in a clean, dry environment to protect against humidity, dust, and potential impact during transportation. For rental operations, consider a dedicated transport case or protective sleeve to safeguard the screen between events.
