Alarm unit function test
Fill a 5 Gal pail 1/3 full with water and drop the pail from a height of a
few inches from the surface of water. The wave created should
activate the alarm. If this test is unsucessful, adjust the sensitivity
(refer to Sensitivity Adjust section).
Between each weight drop test, you should turn the unit OFF.
Then wait until the water settles.
Repeat the same
process at all
locations of your
pool. If the alarm fails
to sound, move the
alarm unit to another
position and try
again. If you find a
dead zone in your
pool, this may be an
indication that your
pool needs a second
alarm unit.
Do not use the unit until the test results are satisfactory.
IMPORANT NOTES:
If the underwater wave motion is unsettled, the alarm siren will
sound when you release the button. In this case, turn OFF the
unit until the water settles down, and then turn the unit ON
again.
Pools larger than 18 feet by 36 feet, L-shaped, or some other free
form pools, may require more than one pool side alarm
transmitter for effective monitoring.
The pool side alarm unit should be able to detect an object that
weighs over 15 lbs.
