5. Secure the VCS-2D to the electrical box or p-ring. Insert

the 1

1/4” long device screws into the oblong-shaped screw

holes on the top and bottom of the VCS-2D. Note that the

oblong shape of the screw holes allow you to position the

VCS-2D so that it is vertical. Position the VCS-2D so that the

screws are aligned with the threaded holes in the electrical

box or p-ring. Tighten the screws using a phillips screwdriv-

er. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. In some instances, you may

need to loosen these screws several turns to allow the VCS-2D

to fit flush with the Decora cover plate. See (Figure 6).

6. Use the shorter plate screws to fasten the Decora faceplate

to the VCS-2D. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE PLATE

SCREWS OR YOU MAY DAMAGE THE FACEPLATE. Line up

all the screws in the same direction for a finished look.

NOTE: Certain “old work” or “retro-fit” boxes, such as the

Carlon B225R, have a plastic “lip” which interferes with the

Decora faceplate screws. This lip prevents you from being

able to tighten these screws completely. To make the clear-

ance necessary for these screws, you must remove the parts

of the lip causing the interference. There are two ways to

accomplish this:

1. Drill through the lip of the box at the screw points.

2. Cut notches into the lip with a pair of diagonal cutters.
