Magnetic Standoffs

Ceramic magnets are not strong enough

The ceramic magnets in your Magnetic Standoffs (July 2924 vintage) are not strong enough to keep the un-wired Pro board from sliding down the structured wiring box! Since I had purchased 108 standoffs, a work around is to glue stronger ceramic magnets to the standoffs. When I contacted Nate of the problem, he said it was "time for us to re-order the magnetic standoffs, and I've shared the feedback with our supplier." The new magnets are to be 12mm vs. my 8mm magnets.

magnetics not strong enough

Even with 4 magnets per Konnected Alarm Panel Pro, the mounted circuit board will slide down the structured wiring enclosure. When I add the cabling, it will undoubtedly side down faster. My solution is to place double-sided tape on the magnets to secure the alarm panels in place.

Weak Magnet

I wish the standoffs were a little taller. Also, the magnet is too weak to hold a pro board vertically. I had to use different standoffs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BR4KV3YW. Konnected should sell those instead.

Love it!

I purchased my house with a 2012 installed Vista 20p wired alarm system and never activated it. Choices were to pull it out and put in wireless sensors or find another wireless solution. I found the Konnected board, emailed with them and decided to proceed. It's not an easy setup as there is a paucity of single access information. That said, I have enough tech savvy to poke around and learn and my system is perfect! In short I used their Konnect app to program the board then SmartThings App to identify the the Devices and then program in Routines. It supported my detectors including 3 Doors, 6 Glass Breaks, 1 living area Smoke/heat, 1 Attic Heat Rise and 1 Siren. It would not support my wireless motion which I didn't need anyway. When I needed help, I emailed and received a response within 3 hours. Their board works on 2.4 ghz only and does required solid internet but it does also allow for an ethernet connection; I use wireless. All in all I am delighted with this purchase. Just know it involves good study and patience. I purchased the 12 port Pro which I highly recommend. It's only a bit extra but it is so worth it.

Not strong enough

My alarm box is steel, but it looks like it's powder coated or at least has a thick coat of paint on it. As a result, these magnetic mounts just don't hold. With four of them and now weight (other than the small weight of the board itself) pulling down, the board slides down the cabinet until it's hanging from wires. Basically, they are largely worthless.

You don’t really need these

I bought and am using these but you don’t really need them. The alarm panel comes with double stick tape stand-off mounts. Also, they aren’t that strong and with twelve zones of wires my panel isn’t really sticking to the cabinet because the wires are pulling it off.

Magnetic standoffs

They are was to install. They are perfect to go into the alarm box with all my wires. It helps with organizing everything.

Not strong enough

Good idea, but they lack enough strength to hold the board in place when you have 12-24 wires pulling on the board. You have to mash down on all the connecting wires so there is very little tension pulling the board away from the panel.

Easy Peasy

Mode it easy to install the board and reposition as needed.

Great option, needs a stronger magnet

I love konnected products. I needed a better option than sticky back tape. The magnets didn’t hold up my boards so I double them up with earth magnets from harbor freight and silicon. I like the stand off design, worth it.

Not strong enough

Unfortunately the bundle of wires connected to the Konnected Pro are stronger than the magnetic standoffs. So my board just dangles. Not really what I expected of these standoffs.

Magnetism is the answer

The magnetic standoffs are excellent for metal boxes.(Oh really!) I will be using these magnetic standoffs on the old wired panel and of course on the Konnected Pro as well as the two interface devices. Highly recommend. Walter

Magnetic Standoffs

Good idea but they are not anywhere near strong enough to be useful. Bought them to mount my Konnected Pro cards in my old Ademco box. With the standoffs attached to the cards the cards just stated sliding down, would not stay in position. I just used metal screws to secure the cards.

They work

They work, but they are not very strong. The way the wires come into my alarm panel, the board gets pulled on, and falls away from the alarm box. If the magnets were stronger, I would give this 5 stars.

Strong

Strong Magnetic Standoffs. Works great with a 19in Rack Shelf.
