Poolguard PGRM-SB - Adjusting Your Return Line Fitting

TEST BEFORE USING
To ensure effectiveness, test “Safety Buoy” every time you
place it into the pool by performing the following procedure:
• “SAFETY BUOY” 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. The on/off
indicator Green LED will ash approximately every
10 seconds to let you know your alarm is on and
operational.
• To test your alarm, push an object of appropriate
volume and weight off the top edge/rail 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.
• Reset the alarm and allowing time for the water action
to settle. Repeat the procedure from another point in
the pool until you are condent of detection
performance. Because the “Safety Buoy” may detect
an intrusion more than once, you may want to remove
the alarm from the pool and put it in sleep mode while
the pool settles.
• “SAFETY BUOY” includes a timer function which
automatically resets the unit after the alarm has
sounded for approximately 5 minutes.
ADJUSTING YOUR RETURN LINE FITTING
The “SAFETY BUOY” alarm should not be placed too close
to a return line, also do not place “SAFETY BUOY” 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 and 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 the eyeball ttings on your return lines so that the
water ow will not interfere with your pool alarm. Point all
the eyeball tting down and your pool will still circulate
properly and this will allow “Safety Buoy” to function
properly, (See Figure 4). Pointing the eyeball ttings down
also helps prevent algae growth.
