POOLGUARD may not function properly if your pool's water level is not maintained within the
required levels of your alarm. Also, the unit may not operate effectively while certain types of
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).
STABILIZING YOUR POOL ALARM
The Alarm Stabilizing Pin (ASP) is factory installed onto your pool alarm. Tools needed to install your
alarm are: One 5/16" masonry drill bit that can be found at your local hardware store, a drill, a pencil,
a tape measure or yard stick.
1. Position your pool alarm so that the sensing throat is in the water and the ASP is touching the
deck, (Be sure to leave a small space between the sensing throat and the edge of your deck),
Refer to Figure 4.
2. Mark with a pencil the spot where you wish to drill the hole for the ASP.
3. With the 5/16" masonry drill bit, drill a hole 2 1/4" inches deep, as straight as possible.
4. Clean off the debris and install the alarm by placing the ASP into the
5/16" diameter by 2 1/4" deep hole.
5.Your Pool Alarm is now ready for use. If you have any questions or need
help with installation, please give us a call at 1-800-242-7163.
6. Be sure to keep your ASP hole clean from debris and dirt so that your
alarm will always lay flat on the pool deck when installed.
