Instruction Book for

DESIGNER ELECTROL®

The Da-Lite Difference.

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 rat-

ing at least equal to that of the appliance should be used.

Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may over-

heat.

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 fire, electric shock, or

injury to persons.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Before proceeding with the installation of the screen, please read the installation and operations instructions thoroughly!

CAUTION! Do not cut wrapping paper or tape with knife or any sharp tool. Pull orange string.

1. Carefully unpack the screen and remove the outer wrapping.

2. Always handle screen in upright position.

3. Remove the front cover of the screen from the back of the screen. Lift front cover up approximately 1/2" and pull

away from back of screen. See Figure 1.

4. There are two methods of mounting the screen: suspended from ceiling and wall mounted. See Figure 2.

NOTE: Allow 1/2" above screen (when mounted) for front cover of screen installation and removal.

5. Picture surface is centered in case. Case extends 5-1/2" beyond surface on either end. Do not attach anything to

screen slat on the bottom of the screen.

1. Hang screen from wall or ceiling.

FOR WALL MOUNTING

HARDWARE PROVIDED

2 – “V” Bars ( one is factory mounted to the back of the case; one will be mounted to the wall)

6 – Toggle Bolts, 4"

6 – Lead Shields, #10-14 x 11⁄2"

6 – Phillips Flat Head Wood Screws, #10 x 2"

TOOLS REQUIRED

Electric Drill

Masonry Bit 5⁄16" (if mounting in solid masonry or concrete)

Screw Driver, #2 Flat Tip (if using toggle bolts) or #2 Phillips (if mounting in solid masonry or concrete)

Determine the height of the top of the case from the floor. This will be the height of the wall mounted “V” bar.

Hold the loose “V” bar to the wall at the height determined above (MAKE SURE IT IS LEVEL), and mark the loca-

tion for the screw holes. To mount the “V” bar on solid concrete or masonry wall, drill 5⁄16" holes and insert the

lead shields. Fasten the “V” bar to the wall using the #10 x 2" wood screws. If you are mounting to a hollow wall,

drill 1⁄2" holes and insert the toggle bolts. Then fasten the “V” bar to the wall with the toggle bolts. Now set the

case in place on the wall with the “V” bar of the case nestled into the “V” bar on the wall.

FOR CEILING MOUNTING

Position and properly anchor screw hooks into ceiling, beam or other solid surface. Then proceed to use the two

“D” rings that are factory mounted to the top of the case to hang the case securely.

2. Remove black tape from slat.

3. Install electrical hook-up that applies to your unit. Make sure to review your electrical installation checklist and wiring

diagrams (included) for either 120 volt switch, 220/240 volt switch or low voltage control. See Figure 3.

4. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times. Be prepared to stop screen. Standard Duty Cycle: 1

MIN. ON / 3 MIN. OFF.

NOTE: Must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical Code (CED), CAN/

CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code (NEC), NFPA 70.

Screen travel is stopped automatically in the down and up positions by the limit switches that are preset at the factory. If

it's necessary to adjust for more or less drop follow the steps below. The case cover must be removed to access the

motor limit switches.

Remove the front cover of the screen from the back of the screen. Lift front cover up approximately 1/2" and pull away

from back of screen. See Figure 1.

SETTING THE DOWN LIMIT POSITION

TO REDUCE SCREEN DROP:

Turn the white limit switch screw clockwise to decrease the amount of screen drop. Run the screen down to test

the stop position. If the screen drops too far, raise the screen about one foot and adjust the limit switch again.

Repeat until the desired position is set.

TO INCREASE SCREEN DROP:

Turn the white limit switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of screen drop. Run the screen down to

test the stop position. If the screen does not drop enough, raise the screen about one foot and adjust the limit

switch again. Repeat until the desired position is set. Do not adjust for more drop than what was ordered. At least

1-1/2 wraps of fabric must remain on the roller.
