The Standard Silent Drive ensures reliable retraction and extension, so your screen behaves consistently—from the first use to daily, repeated deployments—without intruding on your environment or audience.

How to install Da-Lite Contour Electrol Electric Projection Screen

Installing the Contour Electrol is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize the screen’s performance. Follow these general guidelines to achieve a secure, level installation that preserves the screen’s aesthetics and function. Always refer to the manufacturer’s installation manual for specific measurements, weight ratings, and hardware requirements relevant to your space.

• Plan placement: Choose a wall or ceiling location with a clear projection path, ensuring the screen can fully extend without obstruction and that furniture placement allows comfortable viewing angles from your typical seating area.
• Prepare mounting surface: Verify that the chosen mounting surface is structurally sound. If mounting to a ceiling, locate studs or use appropriate anchors as specified by the hardware kit. For wall mounting, ensure the wall can support the screen’s weight and that extension does not interfere with outlets, lighting, or trim.
• Attach mounting brackets: Secure the mounting brackets to the selected surface using the supplied hardware or the hardware recommended by Da-Lite. Use a level to ensure the brackets are perfectly aligned so the screen retracts and extends evenly each time.
• Run power and controls: Provide a dedicated electrical connection for the screen motor in accordance with local electrical codes. Install any required control interface or switch in a location convenient for operators and users, ensuring safe access and operation.
• Align and test: Hang the screen housing on the brackets, secure all connections, and carefully align the housing so that the projection surface sits square and level. Lower and retract the screen several times to confirm smooth operation, verify alignment, and adjust as needed. If you require a tensioned system for larger formats, upgrade to the Tensioned Contour Electrol version following the manufacturer’s guidance.
