How to Install Da-Lite Da-Snap 189" Fixed Frame Projection Screen

• Prepare the installation area by measuring wall space, confirming stud locations, and checking ceiling clearance for the 189" diagonal screen and the chosen frame configuration.
• Gather mounting hardware that corresponds to the wall type (stud mounting or masonry anchors) and ensure you have the proper screws, brackets, and spacers required for a secure fixed-frame installation.
• Mount the wall brackets at the appropriate height, then level them to ensure the fixed frame sits square and taut once attached. Use a spirit level and new screws to secure brackets firmly into place.
• Assemble the Da-Snap fixed frame according to the chosen configuration (flat, curved, or wrap-around). Attach the aluminum tubing sections, secure corner joints, and ensure the frame holds its shape without sagging before proceeding to surface installation.
• Install the projection surface onto the frame by aligning it with the frame edges and engaging the snap-on or Velcro components as required. Ensure the surface is taut, smooth, and free of wrinkles for a clean, professional appearance.
• Hang the completed frame on the wall brackets, verify spacing, and make any final adjustments to level and tension. If mounting in a wall opening, secure the frame per the manufacturer’s guidance to maintain stability and avoid movement during use.
• Test the screen with a projector, adjust keystone and alignment, and confirm brightness uniformity across the entire image. Clean any fingerprints or dust from the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
