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 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 fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Unit is not to be installed in air handling space.

1. Install screen by raising unit into position between joists at one end only. Install one lag screw or appropriate fas­tener in each mounting bracket. Secure opposite end. Secure center support brackets. Install sufficient fasteners in
each bracket for secure installation.

2. Make sure unit is level and plumb.

CAUTION! Do not secure access door or seal in unit until screen has been secured in position and properly tested for satisfac-

!

tory operation. Do not fit unit so tightly that the screen surface drop door binds. Door drops by gravity only.

s

3. If you are going to cover screen door with paneling or other materials, allow access (suitable holes or plug) to slat
hook screws (4) when servicing (Fig. 1).

4. Open access door by removing access door screws.

5. Remove junction box cover plate.

7. Pull orange string to remove wrapping paper.

8. Install electrical hook up that applies to your unit. Standard installation is for a single 120VAC or 240VAC wall switch
to control the screen. Optional Control units may have been ordered. Refer to additional instructions for the external
VPI, external low voltage control and SCB-100. Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram for your screen.

NOTE: Screen has been internally wired at DA-LITE. Wiring designated “external” is completed by installer conforming to

local and national codes.

9. Lower picture surface approximately 4"-6" so that the slat will rest on top of the slat hooks. Guide slat past hooks
by gently pulling fabric forward (Fig. 3). Do not bend hooks.

10. Test installation by carefully running picture surface up and down 2-3 times. Be prepared to stop screen. Standard
Duty Cycle: 1 MIN. ON / 3 MIN. OFF.

11. Run the picture surface upward. The surface door will automatically close when the picture surface rolls into the
case. The ends of the slat will catch the two hooks on the surface door and pull the door closed. When the door
closes, a limit switch is tripped and the motor shuts off.

!

CAUTION! Excessive continuous operation may cause overheating.

s

12. Run picture surface downward until picture surface door fully opens.

13. Install junction box cover plate.

14. Close access door and reinstall screws at each end of access door.

CAUTION! Do not attempt to restore a lost wrap by adjusting limit switches. Allow one-eighth of an inch (1/8") clearance

around surface door. Make sure door does not bind. Check hinges. Paint or tile cement will interfere with free operation.

!

Gravity drops door.

15. Complete installation by painting and finishing to suit your needs. Finish to allow access door to be removed if nec­essary.
