Fill a clean and empty 5 Gal pail 1/3 full with water and drop the pail
from a height of a few inches from the surface of water. The wave
created should activate the alarm, after allowing 4 ft per second to
reach the alarm. If this test is unsuccessful, adjust the sensitivity (refer
to Sensitivity Adjust section).
Between each weight drop test, you should turn the unit OFF, then wait
until the water settles.
Repeat the same process at all locations of your pool. If the alarm fails
to sound, move the alarm unit to another position and try again. If you
find a dead zone in your pool, this may be an indication that your pool
needs a second alarm unit.
Do not use the unit until the test results are satisfactory. Test the alarm
at least monthly.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Allow about 4 feet per second for the underwater wave to reach the
alarm.
If the underwater wave motion is unsettled, the alarm siren will sound
when you release the button. In this case, turn OFF the unit until the
water settles down, and then turn the unit ON again.
Pools larger than 18 feet by 36 feet, L-shaped, or some other free form
pools, may require morth than one pool side alarm transmitter for
effective monitoring.
The pool side alarm unit should be able to detect an object that weighs
over 15 lbs.
