Applying Adhesive to the Universal Bracket (Wireless Area Sensors)

Installing a sensor using VergeSense-provided adhesive is a strong, reliable, durable solution for scenarios where drilling and magnets are not an option. This application is approved for installation on metal and glass only. Please contact VergeSense if there are any questions or concerns.

VergeSense will provide the approved adhesive as needed.

Apply adhesive to plate/bracket

Step 1: Surface Preparation - Mounting Plate or Bracket

Use a disposable towel or cloth (light colors preferred to show contaminant removal) with the appropriate cleaning solution (listed below).

To remove...

  • For dust, dirt, and fingerprints, use an isopropyl alcohol solution (70% IPA/30% water)
  • For oily substances, use acetone

Wet your cloth with the appropriate cleaning solution then wipe it down with a dry cloth to remove any wetness.

Step 2: Tape Application - To Mounting Plate or Bracket

Start the tape at the edge of the mounting plate surface and lay it down, applying constant pressure as you go (10-15 lbs or kg equivalent using human strengths across bracket surface, edges, corners). Apply a rolling downforce over the entire area to ensure good contact between the tape and the mounting plate.

Apply plate/bracket to glass/metal surface

Step 3: Surface Preparation - Glass/Metal surface

Use a disposable towel or cloth (light colors preferred to show contaminant removal) with the appropriate cleaning solution (listed below).

To remove...

  • For dust, dirt, and fingerprints, use an isopropyl alcohol solution (70% IPA/30% water)
  • For oily substances, use acetone

Wet your cloth with the appropriate cleaning solution then wipe it down with a dry cloth to remove any wetness.

Step 4: Mounting plate installation

Remove the protective liner to apply the exposed adhesive to the Glass/Metal.

Press the mounting plate to the surface applying constant pressure (10-15 lbs or kg equivalent using human strengths across bracket surface, edges, corners) and hold for 60 seconds.

After application, the bond strength will increase as the adhesive flows onto the surface. At room temperature, approximately 50% of the ultimate strength will be achieved after 20 minutes, 90% after 24 hours, and 100% after 72 hours.

VergeSense recommends installing the sensor after 24 hours ideally.
