How to install Da-Lite Large Cosmopolitan Electrol 188" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the mounting location carefully by assessing the projector throw distance, seating layout, and available ceiling or wall surface. Confirm the structure can support the screen housing and motorized mechanism, and identify any obstructions that could affect operation or sightlines.
• Choose between ceiling or wall mounting based on room geometry and accessibility. Install the appropriate mounting brackets and anchors recommended by Da-Lite for your ceiling type or wall construction, ensuring a level, secure foundation for long-term use.
• Prepare the electrical supply in compliance with local codes. Route power to the screen motor and install a dedicated circuit if required. Verify proper voltage, grounding, and circuit protection to ensure safe, reliable operation of the Electrol motor over its lifespan.
• Mount the Cosmopolitan Electrol housing to the prepared brackets, then guide the screen fabric onto the roller and attach the fabric to the housing. Align the housing so the screen retracts evenly and the fabric rolls smoothly without creasing.
• Test the initial drop to confirm alignment with the projector image. Adjust mounting position, tilt, or keystone settings as needed to ensure a true, undistorted image across the full width of the screen.
• Program the remote or control interface, set travel limits, and calibrate auto-stop positions. Validate quiet operation, smooth retraction, and consistent drop length in several cycles, then provide staff with basic operating instructions and maintenance recommendations.
