How to install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen

Installing the Cosmopolitan electric screen is a straightforward process when performed by a qualified technician or a capable DIY installer. Follow these general guidelines to ensure a safe, secure, and optimal setup:

1) Plan the placement. Measure the space to determine the ideal mounting height and distance from the projector. Ensure the wall or ceiling surface can support the weight of the housing and the rolling mechanism. Consider ambient light sources, seating arrangement, and screen reach to achieve the best viewing angle for all audience members.

2) Prepare the mounting surfaces. If mounting on a ceiling, locate structural supports (studs or joists) and use appropriate anchors or hardware recommended by the manufacturer. For wall mounting, locate studs and use sturdy fasteners to secure the mounting brackets. Ensure the mounting area is clean and free of obstructions.

3) Attach mounting hardware. Secure the wall or ceiling brackets to the chosen mounting surface, following the included installation manual for torque specifications and alignment guidance. Use a level to verify that the screen will deploy evenly and without skew.

4) Attach the Cosmopolitan housing. With assistance, mount the electric housing to the brackets, ensuring proper securement and alignment with the projector's throw distance. Route any cables neatly and comply with local electrical codes for power connection.

5) Power and test. Connect the screen to a properly rated power source. Use the decora-style three-position wall switch to test the up/down motion. Verify smooth operation, stopping points, and alignment of the screen with the projector image. Make any necessary adjustments to placement, travel limits, or on/off positions as recommended by the installer guide.

6) Calibrate the viewing experience. Once deployed, confirm the image fill on the screen, adjust focus if your projector allows, and confirm that the back of the housing does not cast shadows or light spill that could affect brightness or contrast.

7) Safety and maintenance. Keep the area around the screen clear of obstructions. Periodically check mounting hardware for loosening and ensure the power supply remains in good condition. Store remote controls and wall switches in accessible locations for everyday use.
