cs magnetic alarm mounting kit will permanently hold your smoke, heat or carbon monoxide alarm in place. In order to achieve optimum hold, the surface must first be flat, clean and free from dust. The mounting plate requires direct contact with the wall or ceiling, and so preparing the area where the pad will be fixed is essential.
It is most common for ceilings and walls to be painted using matt emulsion, if your surface is finished in another way, it may be necessary to lightly abrade, and then clean the surface.
1. Prepare the ceiling/wall as described above
2. Set up your alarm following the manufacturer’s instructions, and fit the base plate/battery cover as required
3. Remove the magnetic plates from their packaging and slide them apart
4. Peel backs the film on one of the sticky pads and attach it to the ceiling or wall
5. Peel back the film on the other sticky pad and affix to the alarm, usually to the base plate
6. Allow the sticky pads to cure for 1 hour
7. Attach the two plates together, mounting your alarm on the ceiling/wall, and test the alarm as per the manufacturer’s instructions
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 ceiling/wall as this may cause the paint or wallpaper to pull away.
