WINTERIZATION AND MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
Low Battery Indicator
- When the battery is low,
the alarm will beep once every 30 seconds to signal
to the user that the battery needs to be changed.
When the battery gets to a critical point, the test
button will provide a lower, audibly different sound.
Testing the alarm weekly is required to ensure the
battery is running the alarm properly.
Alarm Non-Operational
- The battery terminal is
equipped with a red flag that signals to the user that
the battery is not installed. When the battery is
removed from the alarm, the flag should be left
exposed to warn others that the alarm is non-
operational.
Anti-Tampering
- If the wire to the sensor is cut, the
alarm will continuously sound until the battery is
removed from the alarm.
The alarm is manufactured to work in outdoor
conditions. If the alarm is being used outdoors
as protection for a swimming pool, it can be
stored indoors during the winter months only
if the swimming pool is properly closed with a
safety cover and the access point is
permanently locked and meets height and
spacing requirements for the region in which it
is being used. For long term storage, it is good
practice to remove the battery.
The battery should be replaced at a minimum,
once per year. However, the battery should be
tested frequently (once/week) by using the
TEST button on the alarm to ensure it will
properly warn the user if/when unwanted entry
is made to the pool area.
Symptom
Possible Solution(s)
Alarm continuously
sounding
1. Ensure the distance between the sensor and the magnet are no more that 0.75".
2. Ensure the gate or door is fully closed and then press the PASS/RESET button.
3. If the alarm is beeping once every 30 seconds, change the battery.
Alarm not sounding
1. Ensure the battery is installed properly.
2. Battery may be low, replace the battery.
Alarm rapidly
beeping or clicking
1. When the alarm PASS/RESET button is pressed and the door is opened, the alarm
will provide 15 seconds to pass through the entry point. Audible warning beeps in
rapid succession will encourage the user to close the door.
2. If a rapid clicking noise is heard, this may be an indication that the battery is
critically low. Change the battery and test the alarm.
Alarm cannot be
turned off
1. The alarm is designed to be activated at all times. If a door is left in the open
position, the alarm will sound continuously until the door is closed and the RESET
button is pressed.
2. Ensure the distance between the sensor and the magnet is no more that 0.75".
3. If the wire to the sensor is cut or damaged, the anti-tamper mechanism will trigger
the siren. The battery will need to be removed to silence the alarm. Contact the
manufacturer if the alarm is damaged in any way.
