Guidelines for Bracket Holes

Here is a list of guidelines for bracket holes to attach your switch to the brackets and attach the brackets to the wall.

The number of screws required to attach the brackets to the switch depends upon your switch. Refer to the installation guide of your switch.
When you use two screws per bracket to install your switch to a wall, the two screws must be diagonally on the bracket plate as shown in Figure 2.
