how to install Da-Lite Model C Series Projection Screen

Installing the Da-Lite Model C CSR is a straightforward process designed to fit into a variety of room configurations. Begin by selecting a mounting location that provides ample clearance for the entire extended screen and ensures a clear image path free of obstructions. If you plan to use floating mount brackets, identify suitable wall studs or structural anchors to support the weight and dynamic motion of the screen.

• Confirm that the wall or ceiling surface is level, clean, and capable of bearing the screen’s load. Use a stud finder to locate solid anchoring points if you will mount directly to studs.
• Attach the mounting brackets or floating mount hardware as specified by the product manual, ensuring brackets are securely fastened and perfectly level. Misalignment can affect screen operation and image alignment.
• With the brackets in place, align the screen case and secure it to the mounting hardware. Double-check that all screws are tightened and that the case remains plumb to prevent binding during operation.
• Extend the CSR-enabled screen fully to engage the controlled return mechanism. Compact, repetitive cycles during initial use help you verify smooth extension and retraction without snagging.
• Test the installation by retracting the screen once more and verifying proper alignment of the projection surface with your projector. Make any minor adjustments to bracketing or level as needed.
