Important Safety Instructions
Pre-Installation
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 rating
at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords
rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
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 ire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
Tools Required for Installation
1. Carefully unpack case from shipping carton.
2. Set aside the Installation Kit. Items inside will be used during
installation.
3. Make sure to recheck measurement of case for proper
installation clearance.

end bracket towards the end of the case (Figure 2).
4. Insert the motor end square shaft into the motor end bracket
(junction box end) and secure with the clip (Figure 3).
5. Moving to the pin end of the case, slide the pin end bracket
until the hole its securely over the pin. Tighten the 1/420
nuts on the pin end bracket securely (Figure 2).
6. Complete electrical hook-up by snapping motor wire
connector into case connector (Figure 3).
7. Carefully remove paper and tape from roller assembly.
DO NOT use a knife or sharp object to cut tape; you will
damage the screen. Pull orange string.
8. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times.
Be prepared to stop screen should any objects obstruct the
movement of the screen. To prevent damage to the motor,
the standard duty cycle is 1 minute on and 3 minutes of.

Screen Adjustment for 120V Screens
If your Advantage Electrol was ordered as a complete unit, the up and down limits were pre-set by Da-Lite. If your screen and roller
assembly was ordered separately from the case, or if general adjustment is needed, please follow the steps below and refer to the 120V
Wiring Diagram.
1. Locate the wall switch and remove the cover plate from the
wall switch and remove the switch from the junction box.
2. Locate the two tactile buttons on the back of the switch.
They are black round buttons on silver plates.
See 120V Wiring Diagram.
3. To adjust the down limit switch, press and hold the down
tactile button until the LED on the back of the switch turns
solid red. This will put the motor in limit set mode. Turn the
wall switch over and use the down button on the front of the
switch. Press and hold the down button until the desired
down position is reached. If you travel too far down, press the
up button to move the screen upward. If you press and let go
of either the up or down buttons, the motor will do a small
jog in that direction for ine adjustment of the screen. Once
the desired position is reached, turn the switch over; press
and hold the down tactile button until the LED on back of
switch blinks red twice. The down limit is now set.
NOTE: If the screen is in limit set mode and no buttons are
pushed for 20 seconds, the LED on the back of the wall
switch will turn of, the motor will return to run mode and no
changes will be saved. If this occurs, return to step 3 for down
limit adjustment or step 4 for up limit adjustment.
4. To adjust the up limit switch, press and hold the up tactile
button until the LED on the back of the switch turns solid
green. This will put the motor in limit set mode. Turn the wall
switch over and use the up button on the front of the switch.
Press and hold the up button until the desired up position is
reached. If you travel too far up, press the down button to
move the screen downward. If you press and let go of either
the up or down buttons, the motor will do a small jog in that
direction for ine adjustment of the screen. Once the desired
position is reached, turn the switch over; press and hold the
up tactile button until the LED on back of switch blinks green
twice. The up limit is now set.
5. To test the limit switch settings, press and release the up or
down buttons on the switch to operate the screen.
6. Replace the switch and cover plate on the wall.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The wall switch is REQUIRED to make
any limit switch adjustments, even if a third party control
system is used. Therefore, it is advised to wire the switch or
provide a 3-conductor connection that is accessible.
CAUTION: Do not adjust for more drop than what was
ordered. At least 11/2 wraps of fabric must remain on the
roller. This screen comes standard with 0" or 2" black at
the top. See the speciication data sheet for details.
Screen Adjustment for 220V/240V Screens
1. Remove the cover plate from the 3-button wall switch and
