By utilising this adaptor plate and the existing base plate on your ceiling, there is no need for any tools, for drilling new holes, or to cover up marks from the previous installation.

In order to replace your old FireAngel alarm, please follow these steps:

  1. Rotate the old FireAngel alarm anti-clockwise to remove it from the base plate
  2. Remove your new Firehawk alarm from the box and discard the standard base plate supplied with it
  3. Rotate the Firehawk alarm clockwise onto the adaptor plate until you hear a click
  4. Test the Firehawk alarm as per the instruction manual to confirm it is working properly before fitting it to the ceiling
  5. Rotate the Firehawk alarm and adaptor plate clockwise onto the old FireAngel base plate that is still attached to the ceiling
    • The outside edge of the adaptor should travel approximately 3cm
