DO NOT INSTALL THE VCS-2D-HP INTO ELECTRICAL BOXES WITH 110 VOLT DEVICES

Some states or municipalities allow devices such as the VCS- 2D-HP to be installed into the same electrical box as 110 volt devices, provided a “low-voltage partition” is used between the devices. We do not recommend this. Speaker wires can act as an “antenna” for electrical noise. Locating speaker wires too close to a light switch or dimmer may cause a “popping” or “buzzing” sound to be heard through the speakers. If you must locate the VCS-2D-HP near electrical devices, install it in a separate metal electrical box, ground the box to the electrical system ground, and route the speaker wires several feet away from the electrical wiring.

Changing the Color of the VCS-2D-HP

The Decora-style insert and knob on the VCS-2D-HP are removable, allowing fast and easy color changes as needed. Inserts and knobs are available in a variety of colors. If you need to change the color of the VCS-2D-HP:
