How to install Da-Lite Contour Electrol 84" Electric Projection Screen

Follow these general guidelines to achieve a clean, secure installation. For specific mounting procedures, always refer to the included installation manual or consult a professional installer.

• Plan placement and throw: Determine the ideal throw distance from your projector to ensure a balanced image size for your seating arrangement. The 84-inch diagonal is suited for mid-to-large rooms where viewers sit at a comfortable distance from the screen.
• Prepare the mounting surface: Verify the ceiling or wall surface can support the screen assembly. Confirm access to power for the screen motor and ensure there is a clear path for the remote control signal.
• Mark and install brackets: Using a level, mark the locations for mounting brackets. Secure the brackets to joists, studs, or appropriate anchors according to the weight and design of the screen housing.
• Attach the screen housing: With assistance, lift and secure the Contour Electrol housing to the mounting brackets. Ensure the housing is level and firmly attached to prevent movement during operation.
• Route electrical connections and cables: Route power to the screen’s motor and manage any excess wiring to minimize trip hazards and create a tidy installation. Use provided cable management accessories if included.
• Test operation and alignment: Power on the system, extend the screen, and verify smooth operation, alignment with the projector, and a wrinkle-free fabric surface. Make any minor adjustments to the border and positioning as needed.
• Finish and concealment: If your room features cabinetry or paneling, ensure the housing is integrated aesthetically. Confirm there are no obstructions in front of the screen path and that ventilation around the housing remains unobstructed.
