Da-Lite Tensioned Large Advantage Electrol 275" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Large Advantage Electrol screen is engineered for serious venue applications where size, reliability, and a clean installation matter most. Designed to simplify complex ceiling installations, this 275" diagonal screen combines a durable motorized Electrol system with a tensioned surface that stays flat and true across the entire viewing area. The Large Advantage line integrates ceiling trim into the design, eliminating the need for a separate trim finishing step and delivering a seamless, professional aesthetic once installed. Ideal for auditoriums, conference centers, lecture halls, and large classrooms, the Tensioned Large Advantage Electrol maximizes image quality while minimizing on-site adjustments and finishing work. With a robust build and smooth operation, it provides a reliable projection surface for high-brightness projectors, HD and 4K content, and immersive presentations in rooms of substantial size.

• Large-screen performance: 275" diagonal ensures a commanding image for audiences in sizable venues, delivering crisp detail from the back row and enhanced immersion for multimedia presentations.
• Ceiling-trim integrated design: Built-in ceiling trim conceals rough openings after installation, producing a clean, professional look without additional finishing work.
• Electrol motorization: Electric projection screen operation provides convenient, quiet, and safe retraction and extension, ideal for spaces with frequent presentations or multimedia demonstrations.
• Tensioned screen surface: The tensioned architecture ensures consistent flatness across the surface, eliminating wrinkles or waviness that can degrade image clarity at larger sizes.
• Durable construction for high-use environments: Designed to withstand regular use in busy venues, with dependable components that stand up to daily projection schedules and frequent power cycles.

how to install Da-Lite Tensioned Large Advantage Electrol 275" Electric Projection Screen

Installation of a 275" electric, tensioned screen requires planning, proper mounting hardware, and adherence to safety guidelines. The following high-level steps provide an overview intended for professional installers or technicians with experience in ceiling installations.

• Prepare the installation space by verifying the ceiling structure can support the screen’s weight and the mounting hardware. Confirm clearances for projection distance and seating layout to ensure optimal image size and throw ratio.
• Unpack the screen components and inspect the surface for any transportation damage. Identify the motor housing, roller shafts, surface, receiving brackets, and wiring harnesses before beginning assembly.
• Mount the ceiling hardware according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Ensure that mounting brackets are level, aligned with the intended projection axis, and securely anchored to structural members or appropriate mounting anchors.
• Attach the screen housing or mounting frame to the ceiling hardware, connect the electrical wiring for the Electrol motor, and follow local electrical codes for safe power connections. Use a GFCI outlet if required by code or installation site standards.
• Install the screen surface and verify the tensioning mechanism engages correctly. Lower the screen fully to confirm smooth operation, then retract to confirm proper stopping and quiet retraction. Adjust limits if necessary to ensure full extension without binding.
• Calibrate the installation by verifying vertical alignment, image geometry, and alignment with the projector. Confirm that ceiling trim remains concealed and that the finished ceiling appearance matches the venue’s design standards.
• Test performance under typical usage: power cycles, extended operations, and routine retraction. Confirm there are no audible noises, and verify the surface remains flat across its entire width during operation.
