POOL PATROL PA-25 & PA-30
Materials. This alarm was tested by an independent lab and is
mandatory in some states. The PA-20 does not meet ASTM standards.
Box Contents
The Pool Patrol is packaged in a shipping carton that minimizes the
chance of damage do to shipping and handling. Check for damage and
confirm that the contents of the carton include the following items.
PA-30 contents
Floating Alarm (Transmitter)
Receiver with Power Supply
String Kit (String with two black plastic hooks)
If any of the items above are missing, contact Driven Designs for
replacement.
Basic Operation
The alarm is designed to detect a wave created on the surface of the
water. When the alarm is floating in the pool, a metal sensing post on
the bottom of the alarm is continuously making contact with the water. A
sensing ring under the rim of the blue cover is just above the water but
not making contact. When a wave is created and makes contact with the
sensing ring the alarm will sound.
Pool Patrol Models
There are currently three models of the Pool Patrol Pool Alarms; PA-20,
PA-25, and PA-30. This instruction manual covers the PA-25 and the PA-
30.
PA-20 - This model is a stand-alone unit only. It is a basic unit
intended to only alert you at the pool of any intrusion. This
model will not transmit and will not work with and does not
include the receiver.
PA-30 - This model has a transmitter and receiver. It is intended
to alert you at the pool of any intrusion and will transmit to a
receiver located nearby. The PA-30 is ASTM F-2208 compliant.
The PA-30 contains a transmitter and includes a receiver.
PA-25 - This model is designed with a transmitter and will work
with the PA-30 and its receiver. Sometimes large pools require
more than one alarm but do not require additional receivers. The
PA-25 is intended to work with the PA-30’s receiver allowing
multiple alarms to be purchased, without additional receivers.
This model will transmit but does not include a receiver. The PA-
25 is ASTM F-2208 compliant when included with a PA-30.
