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." Downloaded from www.Mwualslib.com manuals search engine 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 standard 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 pool alarms are designed to detect intrusions similar to a one year old child weighing 18 pounds and up. 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. POOLGUARD is packaged in a shipping carton that minimizes the chance of damage due to han- dling. Check for damage and confirm that the contents 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 tieing 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) INSTALLING YOUR ALARM RESET/SLEEP SWITCH (SEE FIGURE 1) RESET: When the pool unit is installed in the pool and the horn is sounding; press the resettsleep 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 resettsleep 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! Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SILENT INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL FEATURE • The poolguard system will sound an alarm (Horn will sound) when you install or remove the pool unit from your pool. If you would like the poolguard system not to sound an alarm (horn will not sound) when you install or remove the pool unit from your pool, follow the directions below. 1.SILENT INSTALLATION (HORN WILL NOT SOUND) • Press and hold the resettsleep switch for 3 seconds, until you hear the pool units horn chirp. Release the reset/sleep switch, you now have 15 seconds to gently install the pool unit into your pool without the horn sounding. Note: This feature allows the pool unit's sensor to move one time without the alarm sounding. If the pool unit is not installed gently the alarm may sound. . POOLGUARD WILL INSTANTLY BE MONITORING YOUR POOL FOR AN INTRUSION. 2. SILENT REMOVAL (HORN WILL NOT SOUND) • Before removing the pool unit from your pool. Press and hold the reset/sleep switch for 3 seconds, until you hear the pool units horn chirp. Release the reset/sleep switch, you now have 5 seconds to remove the pool unit from your pool without the horn sounding. IMPORTANT: THIS DOES NOT TURN POOLGUARD OFF, IF THE POOL UNIT IS NOT REMOVED IT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR YOUR POOL FOR AN INTRUSION. 3. POOLGUARD HAS DESIGNED THIS FEATURE FOR "ONLY"THOSE WHO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE ALARM FROM YOUR 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 (Refer to Figure` 1 to make sure the electronic assembly is installed correctly); do not pinch internal hookup cable. • Replace the screw, hand tighten until screw is all the way in and flush against the pool unit.

If your pool is larger than 800 square UPRIGHT POSITION 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 loca- tions for alarms: 1-800-242-7163. Poolguard pool alarms have been tested and certified by ETL, to the ASTM Standard Specifications for Pool Alarms (F2208), in a 16' X 32' pool. POOLGUARD alarms can be used in pools up to 20'x40' or 800 square feet. POOL UNIT FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 Pools 800 Square Feet and Smaller. 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. 12 3/4" 1112" SENSING THROAT CANNOT BE LESS THAN 2" IN THE WATER,POOLGUARD 141/2 SUPPORT RECOMMENDS THAT THE SENSING BLOCK THROAT BE APPROXIMATELY V IN THE WATER FIGURE 3 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Hvirurf Mill 1 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. 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 your 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! 5116" DIAMETER & 2114" JRE 4 Sensing throat cannot be less than 2" in the water, POOLGUARD recommends that the sensing throat be approximately 4" in the water. A Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 off 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. • 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 unit should not be placed too close to a return line from the filter area.Water tur- bulence may be too strong and falsely set the alarm off. 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 they will not interfere with your pool alarm. It is not necessary to point your eyeball up for your pool to circulate properly. If the water is swirling on top of the pool this makes the pool to turbulent for your alarm to work properly. Point the eyeball down and your pool will still circu- late properly and allow your alarm to function properly. If you point the eyeball fitting up, your alarm may not function properly. (See Figure 5) CORRECT Downloaded from www.Manuelslib.com manuals search engine FIGURE 5 INCORRECT 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). Figure 6 • A standard wall outlet power supply. Figure 6 The REMOTE RECEIVER is a compact unit powered by a UL and CSA approved AC/DC power supply, for Europe the power supply is CE approved and RoHS compliant. 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 20 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—*- 85dB Horn at 10 feet /.— 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 recep- tion. 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 and check that the red 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. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SWIMMING POOL SAFETY TIPS • Supervise children at all times. • Never permit swimming alone. Never leave a child alone, even to answer the telephone. • Always remove the entire solar cover from a pool before swimming. • Remember that alcohol and water safety do not mix. • Have your pool area fenced and the gate locked to prevent unauthorized entry to the pool, and install a gate alarm. • Lock and secure all doors in the house which permit easy access to the pool, and install a door alarm. • Have a responsible adult teach swimming and water safety to your children. • Maintain clean, clear water in the pool. • Do not swim during electrical storms. • Do not permit bottles, glass, or sharp objects to be used around the pool. • Ask your pool dealer how you can improve your pool safety — they will be glad to assist you. • Above all: remember that common sense, awareness, and caution will allow you to enjoy your pool.

"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." Poolguard' �[ APSP C PBM INDUSTRIES, INC. rn�n::"cWrw�r PoOB Spu Prolessionols' REV. 3/2006 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine j o o l g u a r d® Power .i ionly Poolside Unit PF -qMP- -W 7 FALSE ALARMS Remote Renelver All pool alarms will false alarm on occasion for different reasons. False alarms can be minimized; however, it is important to remember that a false alarm is better than no alarm at all. WEATHER & WIND—POOLGUARD sets stationary on the deck of the pool so the wind will not effect the alarm unit itself.Wind may trigger a false alarm if it is strong enough or steady enough that it causes the water in the pool to rock or bounce up and down the pool wall. When the water in the pool moves up and down the POOLGUARD sensing throat, it may finally cause the alarm to sound. On extremely windy days when the pool water is rocking it is advised to remove the POOLGUARD from the pool. Light wind or rain will not effect the POOLGUARD alarm. Another false alarm occurs when the pool owner tries to install the alarm too soon after swimming. After swimming, the water in the pool will rock or bounce up and down the pool wall for some time depending on the size of the pool and the type of swimming activity. Before installing the alarm, after swimming, the pool must be given time to calm. Time will vary (around 10 to 30 minutes); once the pool owner sees that the pool water is no longer rocking up and down the pool wall, it is time to install the alarm. Certain automatic cleaners may set the POOLGUARD unit off in some cases. If the cleaner head or the cleaner hose hits the POOLGUARD alarm it may cause it to false alarm. Solutions to this problem are to use your cleaner at night and your alarm during the day. Another option would be to find a place around the pool where the cleaner does not interfere with the alarm. ALARM PLACEMENT The alarm should be on a flat, solid surface for best results. The throat of the unit is designed to work in most pools with an in -wall skimmer. The water level up on the throat is important and should be checked. The sensing throat cannot be less than 2 inches in the water, and not more than 7 inch- es into the water. POOLGUARD recommends that the sensing throat be approximately 4 inches in the water. POOLGUARD can be used with a solar cover; however, before removing the cover, the alarm should be taken out so it does not get pulled into the pool. ALARM TESTING Drop something of approximate size, weight and volume of the family's smallest child, the farthest point away from the alarm. A four (4) gallon jug of water or 3 one (1) gallon jugs of water tied togeth- er are ideal for testing. Remember, when testing you must wait about 15 minutes between tests for the pool to calm. ALARM WILL NOT SOUND Be sure that a 9 volt battery has been installed properly. If you are testing and POOLGUARD does not alarm, be sure you are testing properly – putting your feet in the pool, splashing with your hands, making waves with a leaf skimmer, or dropping something into the pool that does not have the prop- er size, weight and volume will not set the POOLGUARD alarm off! Testing is very important and should be done correctly. 0 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CARE AND HANDLING POOLGUARD is made of sturdy, rigid vinyl PVC - UV rated. Because the alarm is electronic and mechanical great care should be taken not to drop the unit; like any other appliance, it may break. Sun and rain will not hurt the alarm. POOLGUARD is weatherproof but not waterproof. Great care should be taken not to knock the alarm into the pool. If the alarm goes into the pool there are direc- tions in the manual on how to dry it out, but more than likely it will have to be returned to the factory for service. Always remember to remove the alarm before using the pool. REMOTE RECEIVER When the unit at the pool alarms, the remote receiver will sound. Maximum Range for the remote is 200 feet from the poolside unit. Avoid placing remote in basements or close to metal walls. Be sure that the red light on the remote is on. Remember the poolside unit must be beeping (alarming) for the remote to work. If your remote receiver is not getting a clear signal or no signal from the poolside unit, try the follow- ing: Before plugging in the power supply, be sure to stretch out the cord; do not leave it tied in a bow as packaged.
