MOUNTING THE ALARM TO THE TOP RAIL OF AN ABOVEGROUND POOL
Once the desired location is determined, it is time to install the alarm. A properly secured alarm is crucial to its use and function. Please
read through the instructions before installing the alarm.
1) Remove the alarm from the box. *Note that the mounting base is attached to the alarm; leave the mounting base on for the second and
third steps.
2) Using a Phillips-head screw driver; remove the (2) screws (one on each side) securing the alarm to the mounting base. See Figure 1
3) Using a tape measure; determine the center of the top rail between two uprights and make a small mark with the pencil. On either side
of the center mark measure 1 3/8” and mark them off.
4) Take the mounting base and line up the two inside holes with the 2 marks previously made. Note: the base may need to be moved in or
out depending on where the wall and liner line up.
5) Using a 1/4” drill bit; drill the marked holes. IMPORTANT make sure you have enough clearance to perform this step. Do not install the
alarm if there is a risk of puncturing the pool wall or liner.
6) Once the holes are drilled; secure the base to the top rail using 1/4” 20 x 3/4’’ round head machine bolts and nuts. Use the washers on
both the topside of the mounting bracket and under the top rail.
STEP 8
The water level of the pool must be adjusted and maintained in order for the alarm to
perform properly. The sensor throat tube should stick into the water 2.5 inches. If the water
should go far above or below this level, the alarms effectiveness is greatly diminished.
Maintain proper water levels at all times. Never block or fill the air hole located on the back
of the alarm’s sensor throat. See Fig 8.
Mount the Remote siren no more than 100 linear feet from the base unit in an area inside
your home where it can be heard throughout the house should the alarm sound. Turn the
remote siren over and remove the Phillips head screw. Install one 9V long-life alkaline
battery. Replace cover. Plug the AC adapter (D) into the remote siren (C). Then place it on a
flat surface or use a screw to mount it to a wall near an electrical socket. Plug the 115VAC
input adapter into a standard 115v wall socket. The AC adapter will supply 9vdc to the
receiver. See Fig 9. It will give two short sirens to show that it is functioning, and a red led
will glow on the unit. If the main AC power should fail (power outage or accidental
unplugging) the siren will sound once announcing that the siren is now in battery backup
mode. The siren will still receive a signal from the main alarm unit, and will alarm if triggered.
STEP 9
Turn the return jets from the pools filtration system down towards
the bottom of the pool. This will not effect the pool circulation; in fact
it will help conserve chemical consumption. This is required in order
to maintain the tightest security level possible using this alarm. See
Fig 10.
Installation is now complete, and the unit MUST be tested.
