4.  If you are going to cover screen door with paneling or other 

materials, allow access (suitable holes or a plug) to screws  
for servicing.

5.  Use supplied 1/8” nex key and a 7/16” wrench to remove silver 

shipping brackets attached to slat and screen case.

6.  Picture surface should hang freely. (Fig. 2) Remove any tape 

left hanging on back of fabric. Bottom edge should be 
positioned between bottom edge of case and center of roller.

7.  Install electrical hook up that applies to your unit. Unit should 

be installed by a qualified electrician.

 

 NOTE: 

Must be installed in accordance with the requirements 

of the Local Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical Code 
(CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and the National Electric Code (NEC), 
NFPA 70.

8.  Test installation by carefully running picture surface “up” and 

“down” several times. Be prepared to stop screen. Fabric door 
must open freely to 90˚.

9.  Make sure picture surface, when rolled down, has a full wrap 

around roller. No part of roller should be exposed. Fabric door 
and picture surface will drop simultaneously when switch is 
pressed “down”. Door will close simultaneously with picture 
surface as picture surface rolls into case.

1.  Press switch “down” so that fabric door opens (Fig. 2).

2.  Remove screws (2) located on each bumper bracket.

 

NOTE: 

The access door is slotted on one edge, permitting the 

slotted section to fit over the access panel clips on inside of 
case.

3.  Place access panel so slot can be pushed over clips.  

Holes in access panel brackets should align with bumper 
bracket holes.

4.  Replace screws.

5.  Make sure there is approximately 3⁄ 16" clearance around 

access door. Keep paint, plaster, tile or mastic out of hinge.  
Fit access panel so it can be removed for maintenance.

The picture surface drop, and the opening and closing of the fabric door, are controlled automatically by limit switches which have been  
preset at Da-Lite. When the picture surface is moving upward, it is controlled by a limit switch that shuts off when the door closes. The height  
for tensioned screens are adjusted at Da-Lite, changing the height of screen will change the tension on fabric and cause the screen to hang 
improperly. Do not adjust.
