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
Figure 3), and not more than 5.5 inches into the water, POOLGUARD
recommends that the sensing throat be approximately 4 inches in the water
POOLGUARD can be used with SOLAR BLANKETS on the pool.
POOLGUARD can also be used in spas.

IMPORTANT
POOLGUARD may not function properly if your pool's 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.
(Cont. on next page)
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

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.
•To 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 (continued)
•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.

FIGURE 5
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.

FALSE ALARMS
Power Suooly
A\ -Midip
.__,.-r
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
POOLGUARD 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 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.
ALARM PLACEMENT
The alarm should be on a flat, solid surface for best results. The throat
of the unit is designed to work in most pools with an in -wall skimmer. The
water level up on the throat is important and should be checked. The
sensing throat cannot be less than 2.5 inches in the water, and not more
than 5.5 inches into the water. POOLGUARD recommends that the sensing
throat be approximately 4 inches in the water. POOLGUARD can be used
with a solar cover; however, before removing the cover, the alarm should
be taken out so it does not get pulled into the pool.
ALARM TESTING
Drop something of approximate size, weight and volume of the families
smallest child, the farthest point away from the alarm. A four (4) gallon jug
of water or 3 one (1) gallon jugs of water tied together are ideal for testing.
Remember, when testing you must wait about 15 minutes between
tests for the pool to calm.
ALARM WILL NOT SOUND
CHECK THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE 9V BATTERY AND THE
BATTERY SNAP. If you are testing and POOLGUARD does not alarm, be sure
you are testing properly — putting your feet in the pool, splashing with your hands,
making waves with a leaf skimmer, or dropping something into the pool that does
not have the proper size, weight and volume will not set the POOLGUARD
alarm off! Testing is very important and should be done correctly.
ALARM HANDLING
The POOLGUARD pool unit is an electronic and mechanical device made
from a sturdy UV rated PVC material. Do not drop POOLGUARD; like any
other appliance, it may break. The POOLGUARD pool unit is water resistant
but not waterproof (sun and rain will not hurt the pool unit). Great care
should be taken not to let the pool unit fall into the pool. If the pool unit does
fall into the pool there are directions on page 2 in this manual on how to dry
it out. Always remember to remove the alarm before using your pool.
REMOTE RECEIVER \
When the unit at the pool alarms, the remote receiver will sound.
Maximum Range for the remote is 200 feet from the poolside unit.
Avoid placing remote in basements or close to metal walls. Be sure that
the red light on the remote is on. Remember the poolside unit must be
beeping (alarming) for the remote to work.
If your remote receiver is not getting a clear signal or no signal from the
poolside unit, try the following: Before plugging in the power supply, be
sure to stretch out the cord; do not leave it tied in a bow as packaged.
Your Remote Receiver is similar to a small portable radio. If your remote
is not sounding when the poolside unit is sounding—move the remote
to different locations and stand back for a few seconds for the remote
to pick up the signal. You may only have to move your remote a little
to the left or right to bring in the signal—in some cases you might have
to move the remote to a different location or another room. If you cannot
get a signal on your remote receiver CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT
