POOL PATROL PA-25 & PA-30
TESTING THE ALARM
Before the testing, be sure the sensitivity of the pool alarm is at the most
sensitivity position (ref: SENSITIVITY ADJUST). Reset the alarm by
turning it upside down and place it carefully in the pool at the location
previously determined in ALARM PLACEMENT.
Move to an area of the pool that is farthest from the alarm. Carefully dip
the bucket in the water and fill it. Lift and hold the bucket approximately
6” above the water and drop it into the pool.
The alarm should sound with the wave created by the bucket. The
receiver should also sound immediately after the alarm in the pool was
triggered. Reset both alarms.
Test at other locations in the pool to make sure your alarm works at all
locations. Between tests wait 10 minutes to allow waves to settle.
LOW BATTERY
Your pool alarm is equipped with a low battery indicator. If your 9-volt
alkaline battery drops below 6V it will sound a “chirp” once every 60
seconds. The receiver will also chirp once every 60 seconds to indicate
the alarm in the pool has a low battery.
Replace the battery in the pool alarm following INSTALLING OR
CHANGING THE BATTERY on page 7, next reset the remote receiver
following the Resetting the Receiver on page 13.
FALSE ALARMS
You may find that one setting is ideal for regular use when the surface
water is placid, however, it may cause false alarms if there are winds
greater than 12 MPH or during a storm. To avoid false alarms, you may
decide to temporarily decrease the sensitivity. You should then retest
your alarm at the new setting to verify that it will sense the child or pet
you wish to protect at all areas of the pool.
IMPORTANT
If any adjustments are made to the sensitivity, adjust the float a
¼ turn at a time. Track the total amount of turns that you make
and write it down. This will save you time later when you need
to change the battery or set-up for next season.

The “Sensitivity Marks”
(Figure 4) can be used as
a general indicator for the
sensitivity position.
Should the sensitivity
need to be adjusted start
making adjustments by
turning the float only a ¼
turn at a time. Test the
alarm after each
adjustment (see testing
page 3). We do not
recommend turning the
float out more than three
full turns.
ALARM RESET
To reset the alarm at any time pick up the alarm and turn it upside down
(180º angle) for 5 seconds. This action will reset the processor and
