Using the 'dual-lock' fastener with Auto Meter sensors
This is a high opening force 'Velcro-type' fastener system with
identical mating halves. It is intended to be used for semi-
permanent fixing applications and is not intended for frequent
dismantling.
For best performance, the following precautions should be taken:
Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive to
surface contact development. Firm application pressure develops
better adhesive contact and thus improves bond strength.
To obtain maximum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be
clean, dry and well unified. Typical surface cleaning solvents
are isopropyl alcohol/water mixture (rubbing alcohol) or
heptane. Use proper safety precautions when handling solvents.
Ideal application temperature range is 70-100ºF. Initial
application to surfaces at temperatures below 50ºF is not
recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere
readily.
To mount a sensor or housing on the vehicle
Take one of the supplied pieces of 'dual-lock' fastener, remove
the adhesive backing and attach to the sensor or housing.
Take a second strip of the fastener and attach to the first piece by
pushing them together firmly, ensuring correct alignment.
Remove the adhesive backing off the second strip of fastener and
attach the sensor or housing to the vehicle in the desired position.
Push against the fastener firmly to ensure maximum adhesion.
Do not try to separate the 2 strips of fastener immediately
The acrylic adhesive backing should be given 24 hours to
achieve full bond strength.
If you require further fastener strip or have any comments,
questions or recommendations regarding its use, please contact
Auto Meter or your nearest distributor.
