OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MANUAL
MEETS ASTM SAFETY STANDARD FOR POOL ALARMS
MODEL PGRM - 2
CE
85dB Horn at 10 Feet
This product has been designed to aid in the detection of unwanted intrusions into
unsupervised pools. POOLGLIARD IS A SAFETY ALARM SYSTEM AND NOT A
LIFE SAVING DEVICE. "This device is not intended to replace any other safety
consideration - i.e., adult supervision, lifeguards, fences, gates, pool covers, locks, etc.,
and some devices may not detect gradual entry."
GENERAL
POOLGUARD is the result of quality design and manufacturing techniques
that are a standard at PBM Industries, Inc.; a company dedicated to high
quality products. POOLGUARD is a result of that dedication and we
guarantee and stand behind the POOLGUARD alarm system. POOLGUARD
pool alarms are verified by ETL to the ASTM safety and performance stan-
dard for pool alarms, ASTM F2208.
POOLGUARD is an electronic monitoring system that automatically
sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool.
POOLGUARD is a portable, self-contained, lightweight unit that is safe
and simple to operate. Entry into the pool will be detected by the unit's
electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm and an internal RF
transmitter. The remote receiver will receive the transmitted signal and
sound an alarm within the home.
INSPECTION
POOLGUARD is packaged in a shipping carton that minimizes the chance
of damage due to handling. Check for damage and confirm that the con-
tents of the carton include the following items:
• POOLGUARD Unit
• Handle
• Remote Receiver and Power Supply
• Operating Instructions Manual
• Warranty and Registration Card
If an item is missing, contact either the place of purchase or PBM
Industries, Inc. for replacement.
CARE AND HANDLING
POOLGUARD is constructed from sturdy plastic to withstand the adverse
moisture environment of a swimming pool. Care needs to be taken when
handling to ensure against being dropped, kicked, etc. Also, be sure
to remove the pool unit and set it away from activity in the upright
position when the pool is being used. (See figure 1)
If the pool unit accidentally falls into your pool, remove it immediately and
drain the water from it. Take the unit apart as indicated in the Battery
Replacement Procedure and remove the battery. Tip and shake unit and
remove all excess water from inside the unit and the battery, and the circuit
board area with a paper towel or cloth. Completely test unit before each
use as described in manual to ensure proper operation. (Remember to
always remove the pool unit from the pool while swimming and set it
aside away from pool activity).
ATTACHING HANDLE
The two handle screws are located in the top of the alarm, remove them
and attach the handle, (See Figure 1)
RESET/SLEEP SWITCH (SEE FIGURE I
RESET: When the pool unit is installed in the pool and the horn is sound-
ing; press the reset/sleep switch once to silence the alarm.
SLEEP MODE: When the pool unit is removed from the pool and the horn
is sounding; press and hold the reset/sleep switch for 3 seconds to silence
the alarm. The pool unit will automatically wake up when it is installed into
the pool. THE POOL UNIT WILL NOT GO INTO SLEEP MODE ONCE IT
IS INSTALLED IN THE POOL!
BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT
(Battery not included)
POOLGUARD is powered by a standard 9 -volt alkaline battery. To install or
replace the battery:
• Remove the screw from the bottom of the unit, refer to Figure 1.
• Carefully slide out electronics assembly; do not pull or jerk on internal
hook up cable. (If necessary, gently shake unit to remove assembly.)
• Remove old battery and check for leakage or corrosion. (Remove any
leakage or corrosion if present before installing new battery.)
• IMPORTANT: WHEN A 9V BATTERY IS FIRST INSTALLED
IN THE POOL UNIT, THE HORN WILL SOUND. TO SILENCE
THE ALARM PRESS AND HOLD THE RESET/SLEEP
SWITCH FOR 3 SECONDS. THIS PLACES THE POOL UNIT
IN SLEEP MODE. THE POOL UNIT WILL AUTOMATICALLY
WAKE UP WHEN IT IS INSTALLED INTO THE POOL.
• Install new battery by attaching snap connection and sliding into
battery holder.
• Slide electronics assembly into pool unit; do not pinch internal
hookup cable.
• Replace the screw, hand tighten until screw is all the way in and flush
against the pool unit.
To prevent possible damage, battery should be removed whenever storing
the alarm, for an extended period of time.
LOW BATTERY FUNCTION
The POOL UNIT AND THE REMOTE RECEIVER will beep once
approximately every 20 seconds to alert you that the battery is low
in the pool unit and needs to be replaced.

UPRIGHT POSITION
Figure 2 illustrates locations best suited for detecting intrusions from any
area of the pool. If your pool is larger than 800 square feet, if you have
more than 2 return lines, any concerns about the size, or if you have
an irregular shaped pool, please call customer service to clarify the
recommended number of alarms and locations for alarms: 1-800-242-7163.
Poolguard pool alarms have been tested and certified by ETL in a
16'x 32' pool.

PLACEMENT IN YOUR POOL (Continued)
POOLGUARD automatically compensates for variations in pool levels
within the unit's operating range. The unit utilizes a sensing throat which
projects into the water and is designed to operate in most pools with an
in -wall skimmer. The sensing throat cannot be less than 2 inches, (See
Figure 3), and not more than 7 inches into the water, POOLGUARD
recommends that the sensing throat be approximately 4" in the water
POOLGUARD can be used with SOLAR BLANKETS on the pool.
POOLGUARD can also be used in spas.
SENSINGTHROAT CANNOT BE LESSTHAN 2" IN BLOCK SUPPORT
THE WATER, POOLGUARD RECOMMENDS THAT
THE SENSING THROAT BE APPROXIMATELY 4" IN Figure 3
THE WATER
IMPORTANT
POOLGUARD may not function properly if your pool's water level is not maintained within the required levels of your alarm.
Also, the unit may not operate effectively while certain types of automatic pool cleaners are in operation.
Some irregular shaped decks may not provide a level foundation for the
unit by the pool's edge. This minor problem can be overcome by
appropriately supporting the unit (See Figure 3).
STABILIZING YOUR POOL ALARM
The Alarm Stabilizing Pin (ASP) is factory installed onto your pool alarm.
Tools needed to install your alarm are: One 5/16" masonry drill bit that can
be found at your local hardware store, a drill, a pencil, a tape measure or yard
stick.
1. Position your pool alarm so that the sensing throat is in the water and
the ASP is touching the deck, (Be sure to leave a small space between
the sensing throat and the edge of your deck), Refer to Figure 4.
2. Mark with a pencil the spot where you wish to drill the hole for the ASP.
3. With the 5/16" masonry drill bit, drill a hole 2 1/4" inches deep, as
straight as possible.
