EILPGRM-AGABOVE GROUND POOL ALARM

IMPORTANT HELPFUL HINTS & TIPS 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 LIFE SAVING DEVICE. “This device is not intended to replace any other safety consideration - i.e., adult supervision, lifeguards, fences, gates, pool covers, locks, etc., and some devices may not detect gradual entry.” OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL MEETS ASTM SAFETY STANDARD FOR POOL ALARMS ABOVE GROUND POOL ALARM READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING ALARM OUT OF POOL OFF POSITION IN-POOL ON POSITION 85dB Horn at 10 Feet MEETS ASTM F2208 2 GENERAL POOLGUARD is the result of quality design and manufacturing techniques that are a standard at PBM Industries, Inc.; a company dedicated to high quality products. POOLGUARD is a result of that dedication and we guarantee and stand behind the POOLGUARD alarm system. POOLGUARD is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool. POOLGUARD is a portable, self-contained, lightweight unit that is safe and simple to operate. Simply place POOLGUARD on the top rail of the pool. Entry into the pool will be detected by the unit’s electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm and an internal RF transmitter. A remote receiver unit will receive the transmitted signal which sounds an alarm within the home. INSPECTION POOLGUARD is packaged in a shipping carton that minimizes the chance of damage due to handling. Check for damage and confirm that the contents of the carton include the following items: • POOLGUARD ALARM • TWO QUICK SNAP POSTS & HARDWARE • REMOTE RECEIVER AND POWER SUPPLY • OPERATING INSTRUCTION MANUAL • WARRANTY AND SERVICE CARDS If an item is missing, contact either the place of purchase or PBM Industries, Inc. for replacement. 3 CARE AND HANDLING POOLGUARD is constructed from sturdy plastic to withstand the adverse moisture environment of a swimming pool. Care needs to be taken when handling your alarm and be sure to remove the alarm when the pool is being used. If the alarm accidentally falls into your pool, remove it immediately and drain the water from it. Take the alarm apart as indicated in the Battery Installation/Replacement and remove the battery. Remove all excess water from inside the unit and battery, and the circuit board area with a paper towel or cloth. Completely test unit before each use. Remember to always remove the alarm from the pool before swimming. INSTALLING YOUR ALARM RESET/SLEEP SWITCH. (See Figure 1) RESET:When the pool unit is installed in the pool and the horn is sounding; press the reset/sleep switch once to silence the alarm. SLEEP MODE:When the pool unit is removed from the pool and the horn is sounding; press and hold the reset/sleep switch for 3 seconds to silence the alarm. The pool unit will automatically wake up when it is installed into the pool. THEPOOL UNIT WILL NOT GOT INTO SLEEP MODE ONCE IT IS INSTALLED IN THE POOL. SILENT INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL FEATURE • The poolguard system will sound an alarm (Horn will sound) when you install or remove the pool unit from your pool.

POOLGUARD HAS DESIGNED THIS FEATURE FOR “ONLY” THOSE WHO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE ALARM FROM YOUR POOL! BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT (Battery not included) POOLGUARD is powered by a standard 9-volt alkaline battery. To install or replace battery: • IMPORTANT: WHEN A 9V BATTERY IS FIRST INSTALLED IN THE POOL UNIT, THE HORN WILL SOUND. TO SILENCE THE ALARM PRESS AND HOLD THE RESET/SLEEP SWITCH FOR 3 SECONDS. THIS PLACES THE POOL UNIT IN SLEEP MODE. THE POOL UNIT WILL AUTOMATICALLY WAKE UP WHEN IT IS INSTALLED INTO THE POOL. • Remove the four screws from the back of the alarm, refer to Figure 1. • Install new battery by attaching battery snap to battery terminals; place in battery holder on inside of back plate according to the bat- tery placement decal. • Replace the back plate and four screws. • To prevent possible damage, battery should be removed whenever storing the alarm for an extended period of time. LOW BATTERY FUNCTION The POOL UNIT ANDTHE REMOTE RECEIVER will beep once approximately every 20 seconds to alert you that the battery is low in the pool unit and needs to be replaced. 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. ABOVE GROUND POOL ALARM RESET/SLEEP HORN 85db at 10 feet PLACEMENT IN YOUR POOL POOLGUARD automatically compensates for variations in pool levels within the unit’s operating range. The unit utilizes a sensor which projects into the water and is designed to operate in most pools with an in-wall skimmer. The sensor cannot be less than 3 inches, (See Figure 1) and not more than 8 inches into the water. FIGURE 1 5 (Continued on next page) 6 PLACEMEN…
