unsupervised pools. POOLGUAFlD IS A SAFETY ALARM SYSTEM AND NOT A
LIFE SAVING DEVICE. “This device is not intended to replace any other safety
consideration - i.e., adult supervision, lifeguards, fences, gates, pool covers, locks, etc.,

products. POOLGUARD is a result of that dedication and

system. Meets ASTM SAFETY STANDARDS.
POOLGUARD is an electronic monitoring system that
automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into
your unsupervised pool. POOLGUARD is a portable,

electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm and an
internal RF transmitter. A remote receiver unit will receive the
transmitted signal which sounds an alarm within the home.

PLACEMENT IN YOUR POOL
Figure 2 illustrates locations best suited for detecting
intrusions from any area of the pool. If your pool is larger than
800 square feet or if you have any concerns about the size or an
irregular shaped pool, please call customer service for assis-
tance: 1-800-242-7163.

Pools 800 Square Feet and Smaller
POOLGUARD automatically compensates for variations in pool
levels within the unit’s operating range The unit utilizes a
sensing throat which projects in to the water and is designed
to operate in most pools with in-wall Skimmers. The sensing
throat needs to be at least 2 inches, (See Figure 3), and not
more than 7 inches into the water. POOLGUARD can be used
with SOLAR BLANKETS on the pool. POOLGUARD can also
be used in spas.

IMPORTANT
POOLGUARD may not function property if your pool’s water level is not maintained within the required levets cfyour alarm.
Also, the unit may not operate efleotively while certain types of automatic pool cleaners are in operan'on.
Some irregular shaped decks may not provide a level
foundation for the unit by the pool’s edge. This minor problem
can be overcome by appropriately supporting the unit
(See Figure 3).
TEST BEFORE USING
POOLGUARD has a self test feature built into the unit. To ensure
effectiveness, test POOLGUARD BEFORE YOU PLACE IT |NTO
THE POOL by performing the following simple procedure.
0 Remove ON/OFF key - the alarm should sound loud and
sharp. If the alarm is weak or irregular, the battery may require
replacement. Place the unit in the pool resting it on a solid
foundation at the edge of the pool.
0 Place ON/OFF Control Key into unit and the alarm
should stop.
oWait approximately 5 seconds, remove the key, alarm
should not sound. Unit is now armed and operating.
-POOLGUARD includes a timer function which
automatically resets the unit after the alarm has sounded
for approximately 5 minutes.
~POOLGUARD will alarm when removed from the pool
without the ON/OFF control key in the unit.
PLACEMENT TESTING
To ensure that the placement of the alarm provides
adequate coverage in the pool, perform the following simple
test:
oPlace POOLGUARD at your selected location in the pool.
oPush an object of appropriate volume and weight off
the deck edge furthest from the alarm. (A four (4)
gallon jug of water or 3 one (1) gallon jugs of water
tied together are ideal for testing.) The alarm should
sound when the water action caused by the intrusion
reaches the unit. It may take a few seconds for the
alarm to react to the water action.
oAfter resetting the alarm and allowing time for the
water action to settle, repeat the procedure from
(Cont. on next page)
PLACEMENT TESTING (Continued)
another point in the pool until you are confident of
detection performance.
~Proper selection of a location is important.
If possible, this location should be used everytime.
ADJUSTING YOUR RETURN LINE FITTING
The POOLGUARD unit should not be placed too close to a
return line from the filter area. Water turbulence may be too
strong and falsely set the alarm off. It is very important in
pools to adjust your eyeball fitting on your return line so it
does not interfere with your pool alarm. It is not necessary
to point your eyeball up for your pool to circulate properly.
If the water is swirling on top of the pool this makes the pool
too turbulent for your alarm to work properly. Point the
eyeball down and your pool will still circulate properly and
allow your alarm to function properly. If you point the
eyeball fitting up, your alarm may not function properly.

POOLGUARD REMOTE RECEIVER
The POOLGUARD REMOTE RECEIVER has been integrated
with the standard POOLGUARD unit to provide a wireless
remote alert operating at distances of up to 200 feet. The
POOLGUARD REMOTE RECEIVER sounds an alarm in the
house when the POOLGUARD unit is activated at the pool.
The remote system consists of the following functional elements:
- A coded pulse receiver (Remote Receiver).
- A standard wall outlet power supply.
The REMOTE RECEIVER is a compact unit powered by
a UL and CSA approved AC/DC power supply. The REMOTE
RECEIVER can be placed on a table or a counter top inside
the house. The pulse coded radio frequency signal transmitted
is received and decoded to sound the internal audible alert.
After you have purchased your POOLGUARD alarm and you
wish to add another remote receiver to your alarm system you
can acquire one from PBM Industries, Inc. Contact PBM by
phone or mail or contact your place of purchase.

<— REMOTE RECEIVER
TO OPERATE YOUR REMOTE RECEIVER
Try to locate your REMOTE RECEIVER in a convenient part of
your house close to the pool. Avoid steel walls or any other
large metal objects or obstructions that might interfere with the
signal reception. The REMOTE RECEIVER has to be placed
on the same level or a level above the pool in the house
(do not place receiver in an underground basement). The ideal
location for your REMOTE RECEIVER would be by a window
overlooking your pool. Test your REMOTE RECEIVER in
different locations in your house to find the best working place
for your receiver. Connect your 120V power supply to any
120V, electrical outlet and insert the jack into the receiver.
Check that indicator light is on. Your REMOTE RECEIVER
unit is now ready to receive a transmission from your
POOLGUARD unit. DO NOT USE YOUR RECEIVER
OUTDOORS.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly authorized
by PBM Industries may void the users authority to operate this
equipment.
