ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Screen motors have been internally wired at Da-Lite. Wiring designated “external” is completed by installer conforming to
local and national codes. Refer to wiring diagram on next page.
Check for satisfactory condition by operating the screen. Be prepared to stop screen. Standard Duty Cycle: 1 MIN. 30
SEC. ON / 45 MIN. OFF.
CAUTION! Excessive continuous operation may cause overheating and motors will shut off. Let motors cool 10 to 15 minutes
and continue test.
Check the cables to make sure they are winding on the motor and roller pulleys properly.
SCREEN ADJUSTMENT
1. With screen in complete unrolled position, examine the screen surface carefully. If fabric does not hang flat, loosen
the nuts on the eyebolts of the black clamps. Adjust the wingnuts to pull or relax the fabric as needed. Several
clamp heights may be adjusted depending on the severity of the hang. After adjustment, tighten the nuts against
the underside of the frame. Caution stage hands and others to check area before lowering screen. Do not bump
screen with ladders, scenery, etc.
