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, POCLGUARD recommends that the sensing throat be approximately 4" in the water POOLGUARD can be used with SOLAR BLANKETS on the pool. POQOOLGUARD can also be used in spas. SsUPPORT SENSING THROAT CANNOT BE LESS THAN 2" N BLOCK THE WATER, POOLGUARD RECOMMENDS THAT n THE SENSING THROAT BE APPROXIMATELY 4"IN ———+ bod THE WATER IMPORTANT POOQLGUARD may not function property if your poots water level is not maintained within the required levels of your alarm. Also, the unit may not operate effectively while certain types of automaiic pool cleaners are in operation. Some irreqular 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). The Alarm Stabilizing Pin (ASP) is factory installed onto your pool alarm. Tools needed to install your alarm are: One 5/18" 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)


1 {continued) @Afier resefimg the afiarm and allowing time for the water action to settle, repeat the procedure from another point in the pool unfil you are confident of detection performance. ePQOLGUARD includes a timer function which automatically resets the unift after the alarm has sounded for approximately 5 minutes. E FITT! 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 properiy, (See Fgure 5). Pointing the eyeball fittings down also helps prevent algae growth. CoORRECT INCORRECT

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: eA 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. T‘he 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 systerm you can acquire one from PBM Industries, Inc.

Have a responsible adult teach swimming and water safety to your children. e Maintain clean, clear water in the pool. e Do not swim during electrical storms. e Do not permit bottles, glass, or sharp objects to be used around the pool. e Ask your pool dealer how you can improve your pool safety — they will be glad to assist you. e Above all: remember that common sense, awareness, and caution will allow you to enjoy your pool.

Remote Receiver 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 PQOOLGUARD 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. Certain water features such as waterfalls can cause POOLGUARD to false alarm. To avoid this problem do not install the POOLGUARD alarm too close to the water feature. If you are having a problem with any type of water feature call POOLGUARD at 1—800—242—7163.
