For most mounting scenarios, the MT30 has flexible options to provide quick and simple stationary mounting. The instructions are as follows:
Start by removing the battery compartment cap and inserting the 1 AA battery into the battery compartment. The battery compartment has a self retaining screws as well. Please ensure the cap is securely fastened.
Wall Mount Install
For a permanent installs, we recommend to use the included screws and drywall anchors to directly fix the mount plate on a flat surface.
Once the mount plate is installed, the MT30 sensor can be mounted on the plate. Make sure the security screw(T6 torx) on the bottom of the sensor is fastened in order to prevent removal of the sensor.
Peel and Stick Install
For a less permanent install, there are two options provided
-
VHB Tape - Double-sided VHB tape can be used to stick the mounting plate on any type of surface.
-
Magnet - Stick the magnet on any surface and the mounting plate can be stuck to the Magnet.
Once the mounting plate is on the desired surface, slide the MT30 sensor onto the plate and use the self retained Torx screw to secure the sensor.
