4) Replace battery cover with the gasket being careful to seat the cover
into the battery compartment. Tighten the cover down with the two
retaining screws. Do not over-tighten screws. Tighten enough so
the gasket is firmly and evenly compressed between the cover and
the battery housing to prevent any water from getting into the battery
compartment.
5) Return the black flotation base to the threaded stem of the upper
blue housing. As in Step 1 above note the word “BOTTOM” written
on the floatation base. Be sure the floatation base words “BOTTOM”
and the word “SENSITIVITY” with an arrow to “INCREASE” or
“DECREASE” are visible. Carefully rotate the base in a clockwise
direction on the threaded post.
6) Reset pool alarm by turning it upside down for 5 seconds.
7) To test the unit, carefully place the alarm in the pool with the float
and center post in the water. Tip the alarm so that the sensing ring
(which is towards the outer edge and under the blue housing) makes
contact with the water. When the water is in contact with the center
post and sensing ring at the same time the alarm should sound.
SENSITIVITY ADJUST
Turning the black flotation base clockwise or counterclockwise (Figure 3)
raises or lowers the sensing ring with respect to the water. The closer
the sensing ring is to the water, the more sensitive the alarm. Turn the
black flotation base gently clockwise until it stops. Do not force it. This
is the most sensitive position and the position that was used to pass
ASTM testing. Moving the float from this position will no longer meets
ASTM requirements.
IMPORTANT
Be careful not to cross thread the stem with the floatation base.
The floatation base should be level with the blue housing and
turn fairly easy with just a little resistance.

POOL COVERS
Your pool alarm can work with solar covers. Cut an area out of your
cover making a ½ circle shape large enough for the alarm to float freely.
Fold the ½ circle over to expose the pool water. Carefully place the
alarm in the ½ circle of exposed water. Sensitivity may need to be
adjusted.
STORING YOUR ALARM
To use the pool, remove the alarm from the pool, shake off the excess
water around the sensing ring and center post, and place it next to the
side of the pool away from the area of play. When the pool is no longer
in use, wait 10 minutes to let the water settle in the pool. Pick up the
alarm, reset it and carefully place it back in the pool at the location
decided in “Alarm Placement”.
When you need to store it for a long period of time (several months),
remove the 9-volt battery and replace battery cover and float. Turn off
the receiver and unplug the wall transformer. Place all alarm
components in the box it came in and store it in a dry, secure area.
CONNECTING TO A HOME SECURITY SYSTEM
If you have a home security system the receiver can be installed to work
with your security system. It is recommended that you install the
receiver to the security system one week after installing the pool alarm.
This gives you some time to work with the alarm, and have the sensitivity
set to your conditions avoiding false alarms.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the pool alarm sensitivity is set correctly. This will
help to avoid false alarms with the security system.
Note:
Do not leave out overnight until you have controlled the alarm with
proper adjustment of the sensitivity setting and a secure tie down.
