How to Install Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 137"

Installing the Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 137" begins with selecting a sturdy mounting location that can support the screen’s weight and reach. Plan for a ceiling or wall installation that provides ample clearance for the 137" diagonal and the 12" black drop, ensuring unobstructed projection and safe operation. Secure the mounting brackets to structural members, verify the housing sits level and plumb, and attach the screen unit according to the manufacturer’s hardware guidelines. Route a compliant power supply to the screen motor, following local electrical codes, and connect the motor to power. Attach any required trim or finishing components to create a seamless integration with the room’s architecture. With the screen mounted and connected, perform a test raise and lower cycle to confirm smooth operation, proper alignment, and that the drop matches your room’s projection geometry. If your space requires a ceiling recess, reference Da-Lite’s ceiling-recess installation instructions to achieve a flush, aesthetically pleasing result while preserving projection quality. Regularly inspect mounting hardware and keep the screen clean from dust and debris to maintain performance over time.
