Poolguard PGRM - 2 - ALARM PLACEMENT; ALARM TESTING; ALARM WILL NOT SOUND; ALARM HANDLING

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
THFCK THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THF 9V BATTERY AND THE
rattery 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.
