Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 226" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 226" Electric Projection Screen is engineered for rooms where aesthetics matter as much as image quality. This ceiling-recessed screen features built-in ceiling trim that conceals the rough opening, eliminating the need for additional trim work after installation. Its two-stage installation option streamlines the process, letting you install the case first and finish the trim later, so you can achieve a clean, professional look with minimal disruption. Designed for commercial and high-use spaces, this screen delivers crisp, uniform surfaces that hold up to daily use while maintaining a low-profile, elegant presence in any conference room, classroom, or home theater setup. The combination of a tensioned projection surface and a robust, motorized mechanism means your presentations, training sessions, and films will project with precise alignment, minimal wrinkling, and dependable operation—day after day.

• Cleaner ceiling integration: The built-in ceiling trim conceals the rough opening, providing a seamless, professional finish that looks like an intentional design feature rather than an afterthought. This makes it ideal for spaces with visible sightlines where aesthetics are critical.
• Tensioned surface for wrinkle-free images: The Tensioned Advantage fabric stays flat across the entire viewing area, delivering a uniform, warp-free image with consistent geometry from edge to edge. This reduces hotspots and distortion, ensuring every slide, video, or image remains true to the original.
• Electric operation with quiet performance: A reliable electric motor drives smooth, whisper-quiet retraction and extension, so you can run presentations without distracting mechanical noise. The system supports convenient control options for quick, uninterrupted workflows.
• Two-stage installation for efficiency: Install the screen case during the first stage, then complete the trim work in a second stage after mounting. This phased approach minimizes downtime and simplifies alignment, especially in occupied rooms or complex ceiling configurations.
• Durable construction for heavy use: A sturdy steel housing, reinforced framework, and precise tensioning hardware are built to withstand frequent deployments in classrooms, training facilities, and boardrooms, preserving performance over the long term.

how to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 226"

• Plan the rough-in space by measuring ceiling height and locating joists or suitable mounting points to support the screen case. Ensure the ceiling cavity provides enough clearance for the fully extended screen and consider airflow and wiring routing.
• Prepare the ceiling opening and install the integrated ceiling trim as per the installation manual. The trim is designed to conceal imperfections and provide a clean, factory-finished look once the screen is mounted.
• Mount the screen case to the ceiling structure using appropriate fasteners and hardware. Verify level and alignment to ensure the screen retracts and deploys evenly without binding.
• Perform the second-stage trim work after the case is securely installed. Finish surfaces and paint to match the room’s décor, ensuring the integrated trim remains seamless and unobtrusive.
• Connect power and control wiring per local electrical codes. Mount the control receiver in a convenient location for remote or wall control operation, and test the motor for smooth extension and retraction.
• Install the projection surface and verify tensioning so the screen lies perfectly flat in the viewing area. Check for wrinkles or edge curling and adjust tension as needed to maintain the pristine, edge-to-edge image.
• Perform a test presentation to confirm image alignment, throw distance, and screen timing. Calibrate any integrated controls for optimal performance, and train users on remote or wall switch operation for simple daily use.
