Unpackaging the Frame:
1. The frame will arrive in two separate cardboard boxes. One
box will be very long and will house the top & bottom pieces.
The smaller cardboard box will house the side frame pieces,
hanger hardware, hardware required to put frame together
and the wall switch.
2. To open the boxes there is a side lap that is taped down the
length of the box. It will be labeled OPEN THIS SIDE (Figure 1).
Carefully cut tape down the length of the box with a utility
knife and fold box open. You will have to tear hard on the
ends as it is stapled on the ends.

3. Inside each box the frame pieces will be individually paper
wrapped and taped. Remove all paper from pieces.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A UTILITY KNIFE TO REMOVE
PAPER FROM PIECES
ATTENTION: N'UTILISEZ PAS DE COUTEAU UTILITAIRE
POUR RETIRER LE PAPIER DES PIÈCES.
4. Remove all paper and styrofoam blocks from top frame
assembly after unwrapping.
1. In the hardware bag, you will receive (12) #10 x .375" long hex
button head screws and (4) #10 x .500" long hex button head
screws required for frame assembly.
2. Lay frame pieces out on loor or table as shown in Figure 1.
The top frame assembly has the roller and motor assembly
attached to it. The side frames are the two shorter pieces.
Watch side piece to make sure oriented properly. The sides
have two riv nuts used for roller mounting brackets that
should face toward the top frame piece.

3. Assemble left side of frame to the top of frame. The large
black metal L bracket will slide into the aluminum extrusion
while the small L bracket will slide into the aluminum channel.
The pin end bracket needs to be on the outer surface to bolt
into the rivnuts of the left side piece. The slat will need to be
guided in between the standing in and the front of the frame.

attach ield wiring box to side of frame (Figure 6 and 7).
7. Assemble bottom of frame to the right and left sections of
frame. This is done by sliding the large black metal L brackets
into the aluminum extrusion while the small L brackets will

Wall Mounting Assembly
1. Depending on size of screen it will be shipped with either 2
wall brackets that are 48" long or 2 wall brackets that are 64"
long. Two small L brackets included will be used to hold
frame securley to wall at bottom.
2. To install the Dual Format lmager over a Da-Lite Perm-Wall
screen you will need to place the supplied wooden spacers
between the screen and the wall.
NOTE: Da-Snap, lmager and Cinema Contour frames do not
require any spacers.
3. Refer to Figure 9 hanger bracket location. Dimension A will
vary depending on the type of screen you have. Dimension A
is measured from the top of the screen frame to the top of
the hanger bracket.
Screen Type Dimension A
Cinema Contour 33/4"
Perm-Wall 43/4"
lmager 43/4"
Da-Snap 51/4"

4. Both wall brackets must be mounted into at least two wall
studs. Check to make sure both brackets are vertically level
with each other.
5. Drill holes and attach mounting brackets into wall. You will
need at least 4" clearance above the drilled holes to hang the
screen. Dimension for hole is shown from the top bracket to
center hole position. It is recommended to use a ¼" x 1 ½" lag
screw (not supplied) to fasten bracket to wall.

6. Hang the frame assembly on the hanger brackets as shown
in image. Carefully slide bracket between the top of the frame
extrusion and the roller assembly. There is a lip on the back
of the frame that wedges itself into the hanger bracket once
fully installed on bracket. This is a two person installation. Do
not attempt to do this without two people.
The top of the frame assembly will be approximately 1 ¾" above
the hanger brackets when mounted.
