Magnetic Mounting Kit for Smoke, Heat, and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Instructions

Our magnetic alarm mounting kits are designed to permanently hold your smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide alarm in place. However, to ensure optimum performance, the surface to which the alarm will be fixed must be properly prepared and suitably stable. The area where the adhesive pad will be fixed must be flat, clean and free from dust. Attempting to fix your alarm to a dusty or rough surface will not work as the adhesive will not have good, direct contact with the wall or ceiling.

Ceilings and walls are commonly painted with matt (non-shiny) emulsion. Therefore, our sticker pads have been designed with this fact in mind. If your wall or ceiling is finished with anything other than matt emulsion, it may be necessary to lightly abrade the surface (making sure to remove any residual dust) prior to installing the mounting plate.

1. To ensure the adhesive pads will hold firmly, take care to prepare the wall / ceiling surface as described above.
2. Prepare your alarm as per the manufacturer's instructions, and fit it to its base plate or battery cover as appropriate
3. Remove the magnetic mounting plates from the packaging and slide the two plates in opposite directions to separate them.
4. Peel back the film on one sticky pad and attach it to the wall / ceiling, positioned as per the alarm's instructions.
5. Peel back the film on the other sticky pad and attach it to your alarm, usually on its own base plate or battery cover.
6. Important: allow the sticky pads to cure for 1 hour.
7. Attach the two plates together, mounting your alarm on the wall / ceiling, and test your alarm.

Please Note: To remove the alarm for cleaning, battery replacement, or other maintenance, slide the alarm sideways. DO NOT attempt to pull the alarm directly away from the wall / ceiling, as this may cause paint or wallpaper to pull away as the magnetic mounting plates try to hold together.
