Installation

1.  Prepare clean working area and use padded materials or soft, 

clean materials in the space where the screen will be 
assembled on the floor.

WARNING: The screen surface should be allowed to 
acclimate to the temperature and humidity of the location 
where it will be installed. Da-Lite does not recommend 
beginning installation if there is high humidity in the 
room. Care should be taken to prevent water from 
condensing on the screen surface as it may leave 
permanent marks on the screen surface.

NOTE:

 Da-Lite recommends that the roll with screen surface 

and hardware be removed from the crate and acclimated to 
the location at least 48 hours prior to installation.

NOTE:

 Wear the provided gloves any time the screen surface 

is being handled and also during lifting to provide grip.`

2.  Carefully unpack unit from crate and packaging. Using four 

people, unroll the screen. Locate one person on each end of 
the roll with the other two people used as support for the 
middle of the roll. Before unrolling the screen, ensure that the 
edge/end of the surface is nearest to the floor. While 
maintaining slight pressure on the roll, cut each piece of tape 
wrapped around the roll at the edge/end of the surface. Once 
all tape pieces have been cut, the screen surface can be 
unrolled. This should be done gently and in at a measured 
pace to prevent damage to the surface. There will be elastic 
potential energy stored in the roll. Carefully guide the screen 
surface when unrolling, particularly on the last wrap to 
prevent the surface from springing out or scraping itself. The 
audience side of the screen surface will be face down after it 
has been unrolled.

WARNING: Do not step on the screen surface or place 
objects on the screen surface during this step or during 
installation. This may cause irreparable damage to the 
projection coating.

NOTE:

 Da-Lite recommends that the screen surface remain in 

this flat, unrolled state for at least 4 hours prior to Step 9. This 
will allow the screen surface to fully adjust to room 
temperature and will significantly reduce the risk of breakage 
or damage. Do not proceed to assembling the frame on the 
screen surface if these precautions have not been taken.
