Da-Lite Tensioned Professional Electrol 220" Electric Projection Screen

For large-venue installations where image clarity, reliability, and flexible deployment matter, the Da-Lite Tensioned Professional Electrol® is engineered to deliver an exceptional viewing experience. This premium, tensioned screen is built to withstand rigorous professional use in auditoriums, conference centers, schools, houses of worship, and corporate spaces. The design centers on a robust wooden housing with adjustable brackets, enabling a versatile range of installation options—from ceiling recessed to wall mounted, or suspended from the ceiling. With a generous 220" diagonal footprint and widths up to 21'8" (approximately 6.6 meters), this screen is purpose-built to fill large viewing environments with a uniform, distortion-free image that remains visually stunning across the entire surface. Whether you’re presenting high-impact multimedia content, training modules, or cinematic-style media, this Electrol screen keeps the focus on your content rather than on the hardware that supports it.

• Professional-grade tensioned surface for big displays: The Tensioned Professional Electrol is designed to maintain a flat, warp-free projection surface across expansive widths. The tensioning system minimizes waviness and ripples, producing a clean, uniform image from edge to edge even in large rooms with varying ambient light. This results in improved clarity, sharper text, and more consistent color reproduction for audiences seated at varying distances.
• Flexible installation options to fit any room: Ceiling recessed, wall mounted, or suspended-from-ceiling configurations are supported by the screen’s sturdy wooden housing and adjustable brackets. These flexible mounting choices accommodate diverse architectural constraints—ceiling heights, room geometry, and service access—allowing integrators to optimize sightlines and aesthetics without compromising performance.
• Durable construction with a professional finish: The wooden housing not only provides rugged protection for the rolled screen and motorized mechanism but also delivers a refined, professional appearance that blends with high-end AV environments. The combination of durability and traditional styling makes this screen ideal for installations where long-term reliability and a clean installation are essential.
• Large-format capability for impactful presentations: Available in sizes up to 21'8" wide, with a diagonal dimension of 220 inches, the Tensioned Professional Electrol is designed to deliver immersive viewing experiences in sizeable venues. The expansive surface ensures audience members—whether in front rows or far back—receive a clear, proportionally rendered image with ample brightness and detail retention for data-rich presentations, videos, and cinematic content alike.
• Electric operation for effortless, professional use: The Electrol designation indicates an electric, motorized projection screen. With the push of a button, operators can deploy or retract the screen quickly, reducing setup time between events and enabling consistent, repeatable presentation experiences. The motorized mechanism also supports quieter operation and smoother movement, contributing to a more professional environment during conferences, lectures, and performances.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Professional Electrol 220"

Installations of the Da-Lite Tensioned Professional Electrol should be carried out by qualified AV professionals or technicians with experience in large-format screens. Begin by evaluating the room geometry, mounting surfaces, and sightlines to determine the optimal installation method—ceiling recessed, wall mounted, or suspended from the ceiling. If ceiling or ceiling-suspended mounting is chosen, confirm structural support to handle the screen’s weight and the dynamic loads associated with movement. The adjustable brackets included with the housing should be positioned and leveled to ensure the screen remains plumb and square in both retracted and deployed states.

Next, mount the wooden housing securely to the chosen structure. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the screen for safe operation and for the screen to retract without obstruction. Confirm electrical availability and comply with local electrical codes for powering the motorized Electrol system. Connect the screen’s electrical supply to the control circuit as per the manufacturer’s wiring diagram, and verify that all connections are insulated and protected from physical damage. With power applied, perform a test run to confirm smooth elevation and retraction, listening for any unusual noises or binding that would indicate misalignment or obstruction.

After the mechanical and electrical systems have been validated, ensure the projection surface is properly aligned and tensioned. The screen should roll out evenly without distortion or creases, and the top edge should be parallel to the floor to avoid keystone effects. If remote control or wall-mounted control devices are included, configure them for intuitive use by presenters and technicians. Finally, verify the installation’s aesthetic integration, including trim and casing alignment with room finishes, to present a seamless, professional presentation environment.

Maintenance tips: Periodically inspect mounting brackets for tightness, check the integrity of the wooden housing, and clean the projection surface with manufacturer-approved methods to preserve image quality. When not in use, operate the screen gently to minimize wear on the motorized mechanism, and keep the area around the housing clear of dust and obstructions to ensure long-term reliability.
