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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-INSTALLATION

surface is centered in case. Case extends 5-1/2" beyond surface on either end. Do not attach anything to screen slat rod
or bottom fabric pocket.
1. Make sure screen is level. Use a carpenter‘s level and plumb level.
CAUTION! Do not cut wrapping paper or tape with knife or any sharp tool. Remove by hand.
2. Install electrical hook-up that applies to your unit. Make sure to review your Electrical Installation Checklists and
Wiring Diagrams (included) for either 120 Volt Switch, 220/240 Volt Switch, or Low Voltage Control.
3. Test installation by running screen up and down a few times. Be prepared to stop screen. Standard Duty Cycle: 1
MIN. ON / 3 MIN. OFF.
NOTE: Must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CAN/
CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code (NEC), NFPA 70.

PROJECTOR INTERFACE
CAUTION: THE PROJECTOR MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE CONNECTING THE TRIGGER
WIRES TO THE PROJECTOR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY DAMAGE THE CONTROLLER.
Use 2-conductor 20-24 gauge wire to extend the low voltage connection from
the projector’s 5 or 12-volt screen trigger output to the length required to reach
the VPI. When extending the low voltage connection from the projector’s screen
trigger output polarity does not matter. The red and black wires from the VPI are
interchangeable.
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.

SCREEN ADJUSTMENT FOR SCREENS WITHOUT A BUILT-IN LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL
The screen surface travel is stopped automatically in the fully opened and closed positions by limit switches that are
properly adjusted at Da-Lite. The screen should not be adjusted for more or less drop. The fabric cables are adjusted for
proper vertical and lateral tension at Da-Lite.
Should the picture surface get out of adjustment and it be necessary to adjust picture surface drop, proceed in the
following manner.
NOTE: Use a small flat screwdriver or 5/32" Allen wrench to make adjustments.
SETTING THE DOWN LIMIT POSITION
TO REDUCE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the white limit switch screw (Figure 3) clockwise to decrease the amount of screen drop. Run the screen
down to test the stop position. If the screen drops too far, raise the screen about one foot and adjust the limit
switch again. Repeat until the desired position is set.
TO INCREASE SCREEN DROP:
Turn the white limit switch screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of screen drop. Run the screen down to
test the stop position. If the screen does not drop enough, raise the screen about one foot and adjust the limit
switch again. Repeat until the desired position is set.
CAUTION: Do not adjust for more drop than what was ordered. At least 1-1/2 wraps of fabric must remain on the roller. This
!
screen comes standard with 12" black at the top.
s
NOTE: The slat bar will not retract completely into the case. DO NOT adjust the up limit travel any higher than the factory
preset position or damage may occur.

SCREEN ADJUSTMENT FOR 120V SCREENS WITH A BUILT-IN LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL OR VPI
1. Locate the wall switch and remove the cover plate from the 3-button wall switch and remove the switch from the
junction box.
2. Locate the two tactile buttons on the back of the switch. They are square silver with black round buttons. See
Figure 4 (VPI) or Figure 5 (LVC) for diagram.
3. To adjust the down limit switch, press and hold the down tactile button until the LED on back of switch turns solid
red. This will put the motor in limit set mode. Turn the wall switch over and use the down button on front of
switch. Press and hold until the desired travel position is reached. If you travel to far down you can press the up to
move the screen upward. If you press and let go of either up or down button the motor will do a small jog in that
direction for finer adjustment of screen. Once desired position is reached turn switch over press and hold down
tactile button until the LED on back of switch blinks red twice. The down limit is now set.
4. To adjust the up limit switch, press and hold the up tactile button until the LED on back of switch turns solid green.
This will put the motor in limit set mode. Turn the wall switch over and use the up button on front of switch. Press
and hold until the desired travel position is reached. If you travel to far up you can press the down to move the
screen downward. If you press and let go of either up or down button the motor will do a small jog in that direction
for finer adjustment of screen. Once desired position is reached turn switch over press and hold up tactile button
until the LED on back of switch blinks green twice. The up limit is now set.
5. To test limit switch setting, press and release the up or down button on the wall switch to operate the screen.
6. Replace 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.
NOTE: The slat bar will not retract completely into the case. DO NOT adjust the up limit travel any higher than the factory
preset position or damage may occur.
SCREEN ADJUSTMENT FOR 220V/240V SCREENS WITH A BUILT-IN LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL
1. Remove the cover plate from the 3-button wall switch and remove the switch from the junction box.
2. Locate small 3-position switch on back of wall switch. (See Figure 6)
3. To adjust the down limit switch, slide the 3-position switch to the down position. Press and hold the down button
to run the screen down to the desired stop position. Release the button to stop the screen. DO NOT PUSH THE
STOP BUTTON.
4. When the screen is in the desired down position, slide the 3-position switch to the off (center) position. The down
limit switch is now set.
5. To adjust the up limit switch, slide the 3-position switch to the up position. Press and hold the up button to run the
screen up to the desired stop position. Release the button to stop the screen. DO NOT PUSH THE STOP
BUTTON.
6. When the screen is in the desired up position, slide the 3-position switch to the off (center) position. The up limit
switch is now set.
7. To test limit switch setting, make sure the 3-position switch is in the off (center) position. Press and release the up
or down button on the wall switch to operate the screen.
8. Replace switch and cover plate on the wall.
NOTE: If stop button is pressed, the wall switch will reverse direction. To correct this, press the stop button again. This
will reset the switch. You will have to re-set both the up and the down settings.
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 4-conductor connection that is
accessible.
NOTE: The slat bar will not retract completely into the case. DO NOT adjust the up limit travel any higher than the factory
preset position or damage may occur.
