IMPORTANT - Please read first THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT REPLACE THE NEED FOR ADULT SUPERVISION OF ALL PERSONS IN THE POOL AREA. IT IS NOT A LIFE SAVING DEVICE. IT IS AN AID TO A MULTI LEVEL PROGRAM OF POOL SAFETY INCLUDING ADULT SUPERVISION, KNOWLEDGE OF CPR AND SWIMMING INSTRUCTION FOR ALL PERSONS USING THE POOL. IT IS INTENDED FOR USE ON RESIDENTIAL SWIMMING POOLS ONLY AND THE MANUFACTURER ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR INJURIES OR CONSEQUENTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE WHILE THIS PRODUCT IS IN USE ON A SWIMMING POOL.
Rectangular or oval pools ALARM Place alarm in a central location for shortest distance from all parts of the pool Round pools If the water returning from the filter is positioned at 6 oíclock and the flow is counterclockwise, the best location to put the alarm is between 8 oíclock to 9 oíclock position. On the other hand, if the flow is clockwise, the alarm should be placed between 3 oíclock to 4 oíclock position.
Installation 1. Take top seat cap of pool off and remove the screws holding one end of the top seat 1 2. Lift up one end of the top seat of pool 3. Hang the sensor tube onto the guide rail. Back of the sensor unit should rest against the inside of pool wall. 2 4. For wider guide rail, move the stainless bracket forward by removing the three stainless steel screws and moving the bracket. 5.
Sensitivity Adjust Loosen the two screws on the bottom of the sensor. Move the plastic piece with the pointer pointed to ìHî if you want higher sensitivity or to ìLî if you want lower sensitivity. The unit is preset at factory to ìHî. If you have to place the unit near the return, snap the cap onto the sensor cage facing the direction of water flow. NOTE: The deflector will reduce sensitivity. Test the alarm unit as described in section 4.
Using the base as a template, drill 3 holes of 1/8" diameter on the top seat. Mount the unit onto the top seat as shown (right). Battery Installation The pool side alarm is designed to be powered by a standard 9V alkaline battery. After installing battery, press the TEST button located at the front on the control unit. The alarm will sound either one beep, or 5 consecutive beeps. This will depend whether the unit is turned ON or OFF.
Turn the unit ON Press the green ON button and the unit will sound one short beep to indicate it is on. The alarm siren will sound when the sensor picks up any water wave motion. Therefore you should wait a few minutes for the water wave to settle down before turning on the unit. If the alarm goes off immediately after you hit this green ON button, recheck the mounting of the alarm unit. If the unit is not securely mounted, pushing the control head will cause the alarm to sound off.
Alarm unit function test Fill a 5 Gal pail 1/3 full with water and drop the pail from a height of a few inches from the surface of water. The wave created should activate the alarm. If this test is unsucessful, adjust the sensitivity (refer to Sensitivity Adjust section). Between each weight drop test, you should turn the unit OFF. Then wait until the water settles. Repeat the same process at all locations of your pool. If the alarm fails to sound, move the alarm unit to another position and try again.
RF (radio frequency) signal link testing This unit provides a convenient RF link test, to ensure good RF transmission without setting off the alarm. Hit the TEST button and hold for a couple of seconds. The unit will sound one beep or five consecutive beeps. This will depend on whether the unit is set to ON or OFF. Continue to hold this TEST button for three seconds until you hear three consecutive beeps. The unit will send out a RF alarm signal to the receiver inside the house without setting itself off.
Transmitter Channel A/B select The pool side alarm RF (radio frequency) signal can be transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver inside the house by two different channels (A or B). All units are preset at channel A in the factory. However, if your alarm system interferes your neighborís alarm system, you may have to change your alarm unit to channel B. The pool side alarm unit has a built-in channel select switch. This is located inside the battery compartment.
Remote receiver Place the remote receiver inside your house but close to the pool side alarm unit and at a straight line of sight. DO NOT place the unit near large metal objects or large motors, such as a refrigerator, or washing machine. This will adversely affect the RF reception Plug in the A/C adapter and the green LED will stay ON, indicating it is ready to receive signals. Hit the RESET button located between the two LEDs, to reset the receiver.
Back up power The receiver unit is designed to use a regular alkaline 9V battery as back up power source. To install this back up battery, remove the 4 screws and open the battery door. 9V alkaline battery Back up power How to connect to your home security system The remote receiver has a three junction terminal block, so that you can connect it to your home security system or other third party safety device.
The terminal block signal switching is controlled by microprocessor. For current switching, it is recommended to connect a K-1 type relay (not included) to the terminal block as shown.

Trouble Shooting Q. Alarm unit cannot detect underwater wave signal Check the unit by hitting the TEST button. If the unit does not give any beep, replace the 9V battery with a new one. Check the headphone jack connection between the sensor tube and the alarm unit control head. Make sure it is connected properly. Check the sensitivity setting on the bottom of the underwater sensor and the depth of the sensor into the water. Q. The alarm unit gives frequent false alarms Check the sensitivity setting.
Q. The receiver cannot receive RF alarm signal. When the blue RESET button on the front is pressed, the unit is disabled for 10 seconds. During this 10 seconds, it will not receive any RF signal. This allows you enough time to go to the poolside to turn off or reset the poolside alarm. Check the channel A or B select. Make sure every unit is set at the same channel. Place the receiver closer to the transmitter and at a straight line of sight. The RF signal sending out from the transmitter is directional.
