POOL PROTECTOR is constructed from sturdy plastic to withstand the adverse moisture environment of a swimming pool. Care needs to be taken when handling, to ensure against being dropped, kicked, etc. POOL PROTECTOR is waterproof grade IPX5, but it is not submersible. So, if the pool unit accidentally falls into your pool, remove immediately and drain the water from it. Take the unit apart as indicated in the Battery Replacement Procedure and remove the battery. Tip and shake unit and remove all excess water from inside the unit and the battery, and the circuit board area with a paper towel or cloth. Completely test unit before each use as described in the manual to ensure correct operation.

ATTACHING THE HANDLE
The two handle screws are located at the top of the alarm, use them to fix the handle. (See Figure 1)

OPERATE AND CONTROL MODE
Your alarm has an intelligent system which analyzes the surface of the pool and can automatically reset. It works continually 24 hours a day, only except when you activate the temporary sleep mode after using the magnetic key to
stop the system for the time you are in the pool, (sleep mode). After having installed your alarm, the system cannot be turned off, it is always active.

Magnetic key use:
The alarm is controlled with a magnetic key, used to stop the alarm for 100 seconds and transfer the alarm system in to temporary sleep mode. Approach the key to the red round area at the up left of the panel, you will hear 2-3 beeps, indicating that the system goes into the temporary sleep mode.

Remarks:

1. When you remove the pool alarm from your pool, set it in sleep mode with the magnetic key.
2. If you need more magnetic keys, please contact your distributor. 

The alarm is easy to operate and has many function modes. It has Working mode, Temporary stop and sleep mode and Reset function.

WORKING MODE:
When the pool unit is installed in the pool, press the reset button (white button on panel), your alarm will beep 2-3 times. Then after 3 seconds it will beep another 2-3 times, it indicates that your alarm is activated. This will also be
indicated by the LED Indicator (Green flash). No matter in which mode the alarm system stands, once you press the ”reset” button, your alarm will quickly activate.

TEMPORARY STOP AND SLEEP MODE:
Approach the magnet key to the red area on the panel, the alarm will beep 2-3 times, which indicates that your alarm is going into sleep mode. This will also be indicated by the LED Indicator (Red flash). Attention please, the alarm can be in sleep mode only when it is in the working mode and not beeping or in alarm. If the alarm is sounding, press the reset button then use magnet key to set it in sleep mode.

RESET:
Your alarm reset button is located on the panel, it is the same button for the Working Mode when you install. When the unit leaves factory, we set 10 minutes for alarm sound lasting time, but if you just press the Reset button, it will stop the alarm sounding and will continue supervising the pool.

IMPORTANT: You must set your alarm into the temporary stop and sleep mode, when you use the pool to swim and when you install and remove your alarm. See below:

SILENT INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL FEATURE
1. SILENT INSTALLATION
First set the system into sleep mode(LED flash red), you now have 100 seconds to install the pool unit into your pool without the alarm sounding. Once you have finished installation, press the ”Reset” button, your alarm will quickly
activate.
2. SILENT REMOVAL
Set the system into sleep mod, you now have 100 seconds to remove the pool unit out of your pool without the alarm sounding. Once the alarm is removed, put it in the upright position and it will always stand in sleep mode and will not
sound the alarm. Important: Please remove the battery if you will not use the alarm for a long period of time.

3. USE THE POOL TO SWIM FEATURE
When you use the pool to swim, set the system into the sleep mode. In sleep mode, thanks to the automatic rearming feature, if the alarm detects the pool hasn’t been used for a 100 seconds (if there are no waves), the system will
be automatically reactivated and the LED Indicator will flash green. You should enter the pool within the 100 seconds so the alarm will not make sound when you get into the pool! When you have finished swimming there are no waves on the pool. The system will not activate until the pool is calm again. Only when the pool surface has stood flat for 100 seconds, the system reactivates: the alarm will beep 2-3 times, after 3 seconds another beeping 2-3 times and the LED indicator will flash green indicating the system is activated. You can also press the RESET button to active the alarm but if the pool needs from 10 to 30 minutes to calm down, please be patient you should stay near the pool until your alarm beeps for rearming.

Remote receiver is powered by a transformer, it can be also powered by a standard 9V alkaline battery (not included) as standby power, the installation and replacement is as follows. Screw off the screw on the battery cover located at the bottom of remote receiver. (Refer to FIGURE 2)

Carefully pick out battery connector; do not pull or jerk. Put the battery in the connector then put back in to the battery case. Fit the cover on the battery case, then tighten the screw. After the battery installed, without the transformer’s power, if the remote receiver’s indicator lights on, it means installation is successful.

Inspect the possible leakage or erosion when you take out the old battery. To prevent from possible damage, battery should be removed whenever storing the alarm, for an extended period of time.

PLACEMENT IN YOUR POOL
Figure 4 illustrates the best locations for fall detections from any area of the pool. If your pool is larger than 50 square meters (5m x 10m) or if you have more than 2 return lines or any concerns about the size or if you have an irregular shaped pool, please contact our distributors to clarify the recommended number of alarms and locations for alarms.

50 Square Meters pools and smaller

OUR UNIT automatically compensates for variations of pool levels within the unit’s operating range. The sensing throat mustn’t be less than 5cms (See Figure 5), and not more than 15cms into the water. Our unit recommends that the sensing throat be approximately 10cms in the water and can be used with SOLAR BLANKETS on the pool and can also be used in spas.
