8 FAQ Frequently asked questions
During the installation
QI2. When a 18+ lbs (8kg) body falls in the pool during the tests, my siren triggers after 20 s or doesn’t
trigger, why?
RI2.1. Your pool has dimensions bigger than 20 x 40 feet or a really special shape. One
detector isn’t sufficient. Ask advice at your local reseller.
RI2.2. Your falling detector isn’t installed in the recommended location. The fall is realized
beyond the 28 feet detection radius. Please move it to the recommended location. See §5.2
RI2.3. If none of these conditions seem to be the source of the problem, please ask advice at
your local reseller or contact our after sale service:

WARNING
Improper installation, testing, maintenance or operation of this product can make the alarm fail
to sound, increasing the risk of drowning. Follow all instructions in this document to reduce this
risk.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POOL ALARM
Even when correctly installed, maintained, tested, and operated, this alarm cannot completely
prevent drowning:
•
In some situations, the alarm will not sound when a child enters the pool.
o
If a child enters the pool slowly or gradually, without disturbing the water much,
the alarm may not detect it.
o
The alarm may not detect very small child (under 18 lbs) entering the pool.
o
When weather (e.g., wind) or other factors disturb the water, the alarm
automatically reduces sensitivity or becomes INACTIVE DETECTION, to prevent
excessive false alarms. When this happens, a child may enter the pool without
the alarm sounding.
o
When the alarm is INACTIVE DETECTION to allow swimming, it will not sound if a
child enters the pool or if a child is drowning.
o
After swimming with the alarm in INACTIVE DETECTION mode, the alarm will not
sound if a child enters the water until the device switches in DETECTION mode.
Depending on the time the water lasts to calm down, the reactivation may take
more than 10 minutes (depending on weather conditions).
