Step-by-Step Instructions
In the box, you will find two identical, black mounting plates, a black foam pad with sticky tape on one side, screws, and 2 wall anchors.
Attach One of the Mounting Plates to the Back of the Strobe Light
- Flip the strobe light over, face down on the table.
- Take one of the black mounting plates, smooth side down, and feed the strobe wire through the hole in the mounting plate.
- Align the small screw holes on the mounting plate to the screw holes on the back of the strobe light.
- Using the small screws, tighten the mounting bracket to the back of the strobe light.
Attach the Foam Pad and One of the Mounting Plates to the Wall
- Pick up the foam pad. Two small holes on each side allow the larger screws to attach the foam piece to the wall (or another mounting surface).
- Place the foam piece on the wall where you want to mount the strobe. Make sure the cut-out notch faces down.
- Remove the sticker backing and place the foam pad on the wall. Do not insert the screws yet.
- Take the second mounting plate, smooth side facing up, and feed the strobe wiring through the middle opening.
- Align the larger holes in the mounting plate with the two holes in the foam pad.
- Insert and tighten the screws through the mounting plate into the pad and wall.
- Pull the slack out of the wire, feeding it behind the mounting plate and through the cut-out part of the foam pad.
- Insert and twist the two mounting plates together until they snap together.
