INSTALLATION
POSITIONING OF THE ALARM
WARNING: Every pool is different. The alarm
must be tested immediately upon installation to
ensure the positioning of the alarm fits its specific
environment. Improper positioning of the alarm or
return fitting may result in under-performance or
false alarms, potentially leading to personal injury
or death.
The location of your alarm is critical to ensure that
it performs to its optimum abilities. Below are
diagrams showing the most popular pool styles
and their optimum mounting points on the pool.
Decide which configuration is closest to your pool
and continue with the installation. Thoroughly test
the alarm once it is installed to ensure the
positioning is correct.
• In configuration A the alarm is effective on
pools up to 16’ x32’ and should be placed
at location 1 or 2.
• In configuration B the alarm should be
installed at location 1 if the pool size is 26
feet (8M) or less. If the pool exceeds 26
feet (8M) then a second alarm is required.
In this case, install the alarms at location 2
AND 3.
• In configuration C the alarm should be
installed in pools 24 feet (8m) or less, at
location 1. For pools larger than 24feet, a
second alarm should be added at location 2.
• In configuration D the alarm should be
installed in pools 17 feet or less in location
1. For pools larger than 17 feet a second
alarm should be added to location 2.
• In configuration E the PE24 should be
installed in any of the 4 locations and a
second unit should be installed if the
diameter is greater than 24 feet.
In addition, the eyeball of the return line must be
facing a downward direction as to not disturb the
surface of the water as shown in Figure 1.
