OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MANUAL
"NSF CERTIFIED TO THE ASTM SAFETY SPECIFICATION F 2208"
This product has been designed to aid in the detection of unwanted intrusions into
unsupervised pools. POOLGUARD IS A SAFETY ALARM SYSTEM AND NOT A

from it. Take the pool unit apart as indicated in the Battery Installation/Replacement
section and remove the battery. Remove all the water from the inside of the unit,
the battery and the circuit board area with a paper towel or cloth. Completely test
the alarm before each use as described in the manual to ensure proper operation.
CAUTION: KEEP THE RED RESET/SLEEP KEY OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN. INTERNAL MAGNET MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED!

PLACEMENT IN YOUR POOL (Continued)
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 2.5 inches, (See

IMPORTANT
POOLGUARD may not function properly it your pools 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, (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.

STABILIZING YOUR POOL ALARM (Continued)
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 the 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!

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.
eTo 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.
(Cont. on next page)
TEST BEFORE USING (contin
*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 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 properly, (See Fgure 5). Pointing the eyeball fittings down also
helps prevent algae growth.

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), (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. 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 10 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.

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 reception. 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 to any 120V, electrical outlet and insert the jack into the receiver.
Check that 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.
