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.
