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 or water features such as waterfalls, 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 comply to the ASTM Standard Specifications for Residential Pool Alarms ASTM F 2208, in a 16'x 32' pool. P001 -GUARD alarms can be used in pools up to 20'x 40' or 800 square feet. FIGURE 2 Pools 800 Square Feet and Smaller. (Cont. on next page) 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 2.5 inches, (See Figure 3), and not more than 5.5 inches into the water, POOLGUARD recommends that the sensing throat be approximately 4 inches in the water POOLGUARD can be used with SOLAR BLANKETS on the pool. POOLGUARD can also be used in spas. 12 3/4" 14 1/2" I3 1/2" SENSING THROAT CANNOT BE LESSTHAN 2.5"IN BLOCKRT THE WATER, POOLGUARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE SENSING THROAT BE APPROXIMATELY 4" IN FIGURE 3 THE WATER IMPORTANT POOLGUARD may not function property if your pools 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, (leave a small space no more than 3/8" between the sensing throat and the top edge of your deck or coping), (See 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. (Cont. on next page) STABILIZING YOUR POOL ALARM (Continued) 4. Clean off the debris and install the alarm by placing the ASP into the 5/16" diameter by 2 1/4" deep hole. 5. Your Pool Alarm is now ready for use. If you have any questions or need help with installation, please give us a call at 1-800-242-7163. 6. Be sure to keep the ASP hole clean from debris and dirt so that your alarm will always lay flat on the pool deck when installed. REMEMBER THAT THE POOL UNIT MUST BE REMOVED FROM POOL BEFORE SWIMMING! ALARMS STABILIZING SENSING THAN WATER 2 1/4" 5/16" DIAMETER & 2 1/4" POOL DECK FIGURE 4 Sensing throat cannot be less than 2.5" in the water, P001 -GUARD recommends that the sensing throat be approximately 4" in the water. TEST BEFORE USING To ensure effectiveness, test POOLGUARD every time you place it into the pool by performing the following procedure: •POOLGUARD DOES NOT HAVE AN ON/OFF SWITCH When the alarm is in the pool it is always in the ON position and cannot be turned off. When the alarm is out of the pool it is always in the OFF position. •To test your alarm push an object of appropriate volume and weight oft the deck edge at the farthest location from the alarm. (A four (4) gallon jug of water or 3 -one (1) gallon jugs of water tied together are ideal for testing.) The alarm should sound when the water action caused by the intrusion reaches the unit. It may take a few seconds for the alarm to react to the water action. (Cont. on next page) TEST BEFORE USING (continued' *After resetting the alarm and allowing time for the water action to settle, repeat the procedure from another point in the pool until you are confident of detection performance. •POOLGUARD includes a timer function which automatically resets the unit after the alarm has sounded for approximately 5 minutes. ADJUSTING YOUR RETURN LINE FITTINGS The POOLGUARD alarm should not be placed too close to a return line, also do not place POOLGUARD in a location in the pool where a return line is pointing in the alarms direction. Water turbulence may be too strong, falsely setting the alarm off or the water turbulence may interfere with the alarms ability to detect an intrusion. If you have more than 2 return lines please call customer service at 1-800-242-7163. It is very important in pools to adjust all the eyeball fittings on your return lines so that the water flow will not interfere with your pool alarm. Point all the eyeball fittings down and your pool will still circulate properly and this will allow POOLGUARD to function properly, (See Fgure 5). Pointing the eyeball fittings down also helps prevent algae growth. CORRECT INCORRECT A FIGURE 5 POOLGUARD REMOTE RECEIVER The POOLGUARD REMOTE RECEIVER has been integrated with the standard POOLGUARD unit to provide a wireless remote alert operating at distances of up to 200 feet. The POOLGUARD REMOTE RECEIVER sounds an alarm in the house when the POOLGUARD unit is activated at the pool.The remote system consists of the following functional elements: •A coded pulse receiver (Remote Receiver), (See Figure 6). •A standard wall outlet power supply, (See Figure 6). The REMOTE RECEIVER is a compact unit powered by a UL and CSA approved AC/DC power supply. The REMOTE RECEIVER can be placed on a table or a counter top inside the house. The pulse coded radio frequency signal is transmitted from the pool unit and is received and decoded to sound the remote receiver. The remote receiver will sound for an additional 3 seconds after the pool unit has been silenced. If the REMOTE RECEIVER beeps once approximately every 10 seconds, it is indicating that the 9v battery in the pool unit is low and needs to be replaced. After you have purchased your POOLGUARD alarm and you wish to add another remote receiver to your alarm system you can acquire one from PBM Industries, Inc. Contact PBM by phone or mail or contact your place of purchase. POWER SUPPLY—� B Horn at 10 feet ''=` ,i/ /..*. REMOTE RECEIVER FIGURE 6 TO OPERATE YOUR REMOTE RECEIVER Try to locate your REMOTE RECEIVER in a convenient part of your house close to the pool. Avoid steel walls or any other large metal objects or obstructions that might interfere with the signal reception. The REMOTE RECEIVER has to be placed on the same level or a level above the pool in the house (do not place receiver in an underground basement). The ideal location for your REMOTE RECEIVER would be by a window overlooking your pool. Test your REMOTE RECEIVER in different locations in your house to find the best working place for your receiver. Connect the power supply to any 120V, electrical outlet and insert the jack into the receiver. Check that indicator light is on. Your REMOTE RECEIVER unit is now ready to receive a transmission from your POOLGUARD unit. DO NOT USE YOUR REMOTE RECEIVER OUTDOORS.
