Q. The alarm unit gives frequent false alarms
- Check the unit installation. Make sure it is mounted rigidly and straight upright. If the unit can be
moved sidewise or under strong wind, it indicates the unit is not mounted rigidly.
- Check the sensitivity setting. The sensitivity may be set too high.
- The sensor can detect any water disturbance including the flow from the filter pump. Place the alarm
unit away from the return, or put a deflector cap on the sensor cage.
Q. The PIR sensor cannot detect object motion
- PIR is used to detect body temperature against cooler background temperature. The detection range
could be affected by ambient temperature as well as surrounding environment. Set the PIR
sensitivity to H , keep the unit from direct sunlight. During the 5 seconds RF transmission, the unit
will not respond to any sensor triggering. The unit has a 3 minutes delay reset. During this 3
minutes, it will not respond to any sensor triggering. Refer to page 14. Press the yellow button to
get instant reset.
Q. The poolside alarm unit siren cannot be turned OFF
- Press the yellow button first, then push and hold BOTH the green button and yellow button for 3
seconds until you hear 5 consecutive beeps. Wait until the water settles down before you turn on the
unit again.
Q. The receiver cannot receive RF alarm signal.
- When the blue RESET button on the front is pressed, the unit is disabled for 10 seconds. During this
10 seconds, it will not receive any RF signal. This allows you enough time to go to the poolside to
turn off or reset the poolside alarm.
- Check the channel A or B select. Make sure every unit is set at the same channel.
- Place the receiver closer to the transmitter and at a straight line of sight. The RF signal sending out
from the transmitter is directional. Placing the receiver at another location may give a better
reception. Avoid any big metal object such as refrigerator, oven or washing machine etc. between
them.
- The transmitter has an antenna inside the control head. Rotating the control head may affect the RF
signal sending out, similar to your TV antenna. However, make sure the wide side of the
underwater sensor remains parallel to the pool wall. Holding the sensor tube and twisting the control
head can do this. If you need a bigger adjustment, it is recommended that you disconnect the
control head.
Q. Pool alarm sounds off when I use my pool cleaner
- Your pool cleaner can create the same type of water disturbance as that created by a child falling
into water. Therefore the pool alarm may be set off if you activate your automatic pool cleaner while
the alarm is ON.
Q. The receiver does not sound alarm immediately when the poolside Alarm goes off
- Weak RF signal is more susceptible to any interference. Replace the 9V battery with a new one.
WINTERIZING
You must remove your alarm when closing your pool for the winter. Simply reverse the installation process and store
the unit in a warm, dry area.
