Important Notice for Installer
To achieve proper aesthetic installation of the
Acenti products, the wall surface surrounding
the wall box opening must be fairly flat and free
of irregularities. The wall box must be level and
recessed or flush to the wall surface. The Acenti
installation system allows for adjustments that
will correct minor flaws that may be present in
the installation area.
This device must be installed with the Acenti™
Alignment Plate. The Alignment Plate is
packaged with the Acenti™ Wallplate, which is
sold separately from this device.
The Alignment Plate will function properly only if
it is mounted to a flat wall surface as described
above.
• Leviton recommends to temporarily position
the Alignment Plate prior to wiring the device.
If the wall box wires extend at least 6 inches
out of the wall box, it is also possible to install
the Alignment Plate after the device has been
wired (refer to Wallplate instruction sheet).
• The Alignment Plate must be installed with
Strip 1/2" (Back wire)
the tab towards the bottom.
Strip 3/4" (Side wire)
• Leviton recommends the following 3 methods
to temporarily hold the Alignment Plate –
use of device mounting screw, use of wall box
wires, or use of electrical tape (refer to the
following figures):
