How TRITON™ Works?
TRITON™ detects and analyses disturbances. It was designed to detect any fall of an 18+ lbs child
into your swimming-pool in the following conditions. It alerts you by triggering the powerful siren after a
few seconds.
For your security and convenience, the device has three major modes:
-
« DETECTION »
MODE
:
o
TRITON™ monitors the pool and the LED
:
blinks in green quickly.
o
The siren emits a 85+ dB signal at 10 feet when triggered by the fall of a 18+ lbs body in the
pool.
o
The device defaults to this mode when you switch it on.
-
« I
NACTIVE DETECTION
»
MODE
:
o
TRITON™ doesn’t monitor the pool and the LED
:
blinks in red quickly.
o
The alarm won’t trigger even if something or someone falls into the pool
o
Select this mode using the password (initially 1234) to deactivate the siren before using the
pool.
o
The device defaults to this mode when you insert the batteries
o
Warning: the device leaves this mode 1 minute and 30 seconds after the pool becomes totally
still. Then, it goes back to “DETECTION” mode. (Be patient, because this can take more than
10 minutes to happen).
NEVER LEAVE THE POOL UNATTENDED IN THIS MODE.
o
In case of high winds, the device can’t monitor the pool and could switch automatically to
« INACTIVE DETECTION » mode.
-
« R
EACTIVATION DETECTION
»
MODE
:
o
TRITON™ monitors partially the pool and the LED
:
blinks alternately in red and in
green quickly.
o
The alarm can trigger if something or someone falls into the pool, but the performances required
by ASTM standard F2208e1 are not guaranteed.
o
This mode occurs when a manual activation of the system is required (cf. above) but that the
pool is still agitated, just after swimming for instance or just after something or someone fell into
the pool.
o
The system will switch automatically to DETECTION MODE after the pool becomes totally
motionless.
o
The device defaults to this mode when you insert the batteries.
NEVER LEAVE THE POOL UNATTENDED IN THIS MODE.
-
« OFF »
MODE
:
o
TRITON™ won’t monitor the pool. All the LEDs are OFF.
o
None of the accidental falls will be detected.
o
You can switch to this mode to change the batteries or to maintain the pool.
o
Warning: there is no automatic switching into « DETECTION » mode.
