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.

8. Test installation by carefully running picture surface “up” and
“down” several times. Be prepared to stop screen. Fabric door
must open freely to 90˚.
9. Make sure picture surface, when rolled down, has a full wrap

Access Door Installation
1. Press switch “down” so that fabric door opens (Fig. 2).
2. Remove screws (2) located on each bumper bracket.
NOTE: The access door is slotted on one edge, permitting the
slotted section to it over the access panel clips on inside of
case.
3. Place access panel so slot can be pushed over clips.
Holes in access panel brackets should align with bumper
bracket holes.
4. Replace screws.
5. Make sure there is approximately 3⁄16" clearance around
access door. Keep paint, plaster, tile or mastic out of hinge.
Fit access panel so it can be removed for maintenance.
Screen Adjustment
The picture surface drop, and the opening and closing of the fabric door, are controlled automatically by limit switches which have been
preset at Da-Lite. When the picture surface is moving upward, it is controlled by a limit switch that shuts of when the door closes. The height
for tensioned screens are adjusted at Da-Lite, changing the height of screen will change the tension on fabric and cause the screen to hang
improperly. Do not adjust.
