™ Sprinkler Valve 110 Volt GFI INSTRUCTIONS & INFORMATION U.S. AND FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING 24 Volt Transformer RECEIVER Water Line to Pool Congratulations on your Smartmiser purchase. To ensure proper installation, please read these instructions completely before installing your Smartmiser. 1.0 Mounting and Connecting the Receiver: Figure 5 Ra di Si gn al TRANSMITTER While the Receiver unit is weather resistant, it is not waterproof. Therefore, you should choose a flat surface in a weather-protected area to install the Receiver. Depending on obstructions between the units, the Receiver is designed to receive a radio transmission up to 40 feet from the Transmitter. As the most common installation location for the Transmitter is in the pool skimmer, (See Section 3) you will get optimum performance from the Smartmiser if the Receiver is located within Antennae 35 feet of your skimmer and is at least 4.5 feet above the ground. Higher placement LED Light 24 VAC Valve will improve reception. SKIMMER Pool Remove the cover of the Receiver. Using the attachment screws provided, mount the Receiver on to the protected flat surface using the two openings on the top and bottom of the Receiver. Bend the dipole antennae down towards the ground. (See Figure 1) Wire Slots Mounting Holes Figure 1 PAGE 8 COPYRIGHT 2000 POOLMISER COPYRIGHT 2000 POOLMISER PGM Dipole Antennae PAGE 1 We recommend that you use a weather protected 110-volt GFI outlet for the Transformer. Using a portion of the 30 feet of 2 conductor wire provided, attach 2 wires to the connections on the Transformer and attach those 2 wires to the terminals on the Receiver marked 24 VAC as shown in Figure 1. Plug in the Transformer. Press the wires into the wire slots in the Receiver as shown in Figure 1. The LED light on the Receiver will flash in a series of 4 short bursts which means the Receiver will automatically shut off the water to the pool after 2 hours. See Section 5.3 for more details. 2.0 If your pool is already plumbed with water, install the valve per manufacturer’s instructions into the existing water line. Using the wire provided, connect two of the wires to the terminals in the Receiver marked “valve” as shown in Figure 1. Press the 2 wires into the wire slots as shown. Use the wire nuts to attach the wires to the valve. If you need additional wire, make sure to use 18-gauge wire rated for exterior and underground use, which can be purchased from Poolmiser. If water is not plumbed to your pool, you will need to have a water line installed. (See Figure 5) Positioning the Transmitter: The Transmitter has two easily identifiable ledges which will help you position the Transmitter in your pool. The top ledge is the approximate high water mark and the bottom ledge is the approximate low water mark. (See Figure 2) Depending on the water level of your pool, you will attach the Transmitter either higher or lower in the water between these 2 ledges. If the Top Ledge water level is at or near its low point at time of installation, then the Transmitter should be High Water Mark installed with the bottom ledge slightly out of the water. If the water level is at or near its high point at the time of installation, Bottom Ledge the Transmitter should be installed with the top ledge Low Water Mark slightly below the water. Figure 2 PAGE 2 Possibly a problem with the valve. Recheck wiring and connections from the Receiver unit to the valve. Check the solenoid on the top of the valve and replace if necessary. 5. Water shuts off before the pool level reaches the high water indicator on the Transmitter. Possible that automatic shut off function is set for a smaller pool. Reset the automatic shut off function in the Receiver to a longer time interval per Section 5.0. Hooking up the Gate Valve: It is now time to hook up the Receiver to a valve to fill the pool. For this function, you will need to purchase a standard 24-volt sprinkler valve that can be purchased at most plumbing and hardware stores, directly from Poolmiser, or your local Poolmiser distributor. 3.0 4. The signal is sent and received but the water does not turn on.

If you need to remove the basket from the Skimmer unit, merely pull the Transmitter off of the velcro on the side of the Skimmer which will allow easy removal of the Skimmer basket. Once the basket is replaced, merely reattach the Smartmiser to its previous location. However, remember that when the Transmitter is removed, the Float may fall to the bottom of the Transmitter and may turn on your water. If that occurs, make sure you promptly reinstall the Transmitter after the Skimmer basket is replaced. Once the Transmitter is reinstalled, the water level will automatically go off once the water reaches the high level indicator on the Transmitter. 7.0 Troubleshooting: Problem Possible Solution 1. The LED light is not blinking. Check for loss of power supply. Make sure the Transformer is plugged in. Check to make sure that the re-set button on the GFI protected outlet is properly set. 2. The Receiver is not receiving the Transmitter’s signal. Possible loss of code signal. Re-program the units to read each other per Section 4.0. Possibly a problem with obstructions or interference between the Receiver and Transmitter units. Consider re-positioning the Receiver unit closer to the Transmitter or in a more direct line of sight, or allow the top of the antenna to extend slightly above the Skimmer through the hole in the Skimmer lid. Consider placing the Transmitter along the inside edge of the pool instead of the Skimmer. 3. The Transmitter is not sending a signal. Possible loss of code signal. Re-program the Transmitter and Receiver units to speak to each other per Section 4.0. Possible obstruction of Float. Check to see that Float moves freely. Flush with hose to clean. Possible loss of power. Replace battery per Section 5.1. PAGE 6 COPYRIGHT 2000 POOLMISER While the Transmitter can be placed anywhere along the inside edge of the pool, the preferred location is in the Skimmer. Remove the skimmer lid. You will note that the curve of the Skimmer is the same Velcro 1234567890 1234567890 as the curve of the Transmitter. 1234567890 1234567890 Make sure that the portion of the Skimmer above the water line where you will place the Transmitter is dry. Skimmer Lightly sand the skimmer surface Top and clean with alcohol (both included). Peel off the back of the matching velcro that is attached to the Transmitter. Press the adhesive back of the velcro against the Skimmer as shown in Figure 3 and Water 1234567890 Attach Velcro ▼ Level let set undisturbed for at least 1234567890 Here1234567890 3 minutes. The height of the 1234567890 1234567890 Transmitter can be re-set at any time by simply placing the Transmitter higher or lower on the velcro attached to the Skimmer. Additional Figure 3 velcro can be attached to the Skimmer if necessary. The Transmitter antennae is flexible and will bend over when the Skimmer lid is replaced. Do not change the length of the antennae. Now that the Transmitter is correctly positioned, remove it from the Skimmer for the final step of programming. 4.0 Programming the Receiver and Transmitter: Program the Receiver by holding down the PGM switch for approximately 3 seconds until the LED light flashes quickly. (See Figure 1) Insert the Float into the Transmitter making sure to line up the slot on the Float with the corresponding tab on the top of the Transmitter. (See Figure 4) Push the Float into the Transmitter top until it “pops” in. Holding the Transmitter in an upright position the Float will drop to the bottom of the Transmitter unit. Hold the Transmitter near the Receiver. ▼ ▼ Figure 4 COPYRIGHT 2000 POOLMISER PAGE 3 After approximately 6 seconds, the rapid flashing of the LED will stop. This means that the Transmitter and the Receiver have randomly selected a code and are now programmed to speak to each other. This programming will keep your Smartmiser from accidentally activating a neighbor’s Smartmiser. You may re-set the programming function at any time by repeating these steps. Insert the small filter into the top hole of the Transmitter. Now replace the Receiver cover and reattach the Transmitter in the skimmer. You may now replace the top of the skimmer. For better reception, you can allow the top of the Transmitter antennae to slightly extend through one of the holes in the Skimmer lid. Your installation is now complete. 5.0 YOUR SMARTMISER PARTS: 5.1 The Transmitter: The Transmitter senses the water level in your pool. When an “ on” signal is sent from the Transmitter, the Receiver turns on the water to your pool. When the water level rises approximately 1 inch, the Transmitter will send an “ off ” signal and shut off the water. The Transmitter can be opened by removing the six socket head cap screws, but should be opened only to replace the battery which is a 3-volt lithium coin cell (CR 2032). By carefully lifting the Transmitter cover, the circuit board will slide out of the base. Gently rotate the board to expose the top of the battery for replacement. Then slide the board back into the base, being careful not to damage any electronic components. Normal battery life should be from 2 to 3 years under normal use. Be sure to replace a worn battery in the Transmitter as failure to do so will cause the Smartmiser to stop working and could result in serious damage to your pool equipment. Be sure to reprogram the unit whenever the battery is replaced. (See Section 4) The Transmitter unit is waterproof. Whenever the lid of the Transmitter is removed, the six screws should be reattached applying even pressure to make sure that a completely waterproof seal is achieved. Modifications to the Transmitter, including changes to the length of the antennae, are prohibited and will void the purchaser’s authority to use this device (47CFR15). PAGE 4 5.2 The Float: The Float contains a small magnet which activates the Transmitter unit. The Float moves up and down with the water level in your pool and moves between the off and on switches within the Transmitter. The Float will be inserted into the top of the Transmitter unit as described in Section 4 of the Instructions. The Float 5.3 The Receiver: The Receiver reads the signal from the Transmitter and either turns on or off the water to your pool. Once an “on” signal is received, the Receiver automatically begins to time the filling process. If for some reason the Transmitter does not send an “ off ” signal, the Receiver is pre-set at the factory to shut off automatically. This automatic shut off function has six different settings and can be changed from 10 minutes to 24 hours. The number of flashes of the LED light indicates the length of time before the Receiver automatically shuts off the water. Four flashes is pre-set at the factory and will automatically shut off the water 2 hours after an “on” signal is received. Pushing the PGM switch (See Figure 1) will change the length of time on this safety shut off feature. Each quick press of the PGM switch will advance the time function as follows: Time 2 Hours 8 Hours 24 Hours 10 Minutes 30 Minutes 1.25 Hours Flashes 4 Flashes 5 Flashes 6 Flashes 1 Flash 2 Flashes 3 Flashes Larger pools should be set for a longer time interval. 5.4 The Receiver Miscellaneous Parts: Your Smartmiser package also contains a standard 24-volt UL rated Interior Use Transformer, mounting screws, extra velcro, 30’ of 2 conductor wire, and 2 wire nuts. The velcro is used to mount the Transmitter unit into your pool. The Transmitter COPYRIGHT 2000 POOLMISER COPYRIGHT 2000 POOLMISER PAGE 5
