INSTALLING YOUR ALARM
DO NOT ATTACH THE RED TETHER STRING TO A POOL
LADDER. The Red Tether String is factory installed on the
“Safety Buoy” pool unit. The Tether clip has an adhesive
backing that is designed to be used on smooth surfaces
like metal, plastic or vinyl. (Some surfaces like Concrete or
Wood may require the use of a separate adhesive or another
means of securing the Red Tether String.)
IMPORTANT: If you attach the Tether Clip to a vinyl surface
be very careful if you try to remove it, this may tear your
vinyl. The location where the Tether Clip is to be installed
must be clean and dry. Peel the back off of the Tether Clip,
turn the Tether Clip so that the end that opens is pointing
away from the pool water, press the Tether Clip down rmly.
Adjust the Red Tether String length so that the edge of the
“Safety Buoy” Floating Platform is no more than 5”(inches)
from the pool wall (See Figure 3). Cut off and discard the
excess Red Tether String. Tie a knot at the end of the Red
Tether String and slide the Red Tether String into the Tether
Clip, the knot will hold the Red Tether String in the Tether
Clip (See Figure 3).
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 5).
• A standard wall outlet power supply, (See Figure 5).
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
