2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OCEAPROTECT SYSTEM
Oceaprotect is an alarm system that has been certified to be in conformity with the
standard NF P 90-307 by the LNE (National Laboratory for tests). This alarm system
detects the fall or the immersion of a child into the pool.
2.1 Central Alarm Unit :
The central alarm unit is equipped with an immersed probe that detects the movement of
the water created by the fall of a body of more than 6 Kg into the pool. This central unit
also integrates a siren of more than 105B which is activated in case of a fall into the pool.
The power indicators LED indicates the operational state of the system (activated,
deactivated, in test mode and failure signals). The four fixation points allow a secure
installation of the central unit in order to guarantee a good positioning.
Several central units can be placed in the same pool and beder to go off simultaneously.
They can also be connected to the same remote siren (the deported siren is optional).

2.2 Magnetic Key
The magnetic key enables you to arm and temporary disarm the alarm system.
Other optional means to control the alarm system can be added according to your
needs. Refer to the accessories handbook for further information on this subject.
3 INSTALLATION
NB : It is advised to have a professional install and maintain your alarm system. Your
central unit Oceaprotect must be installed in such way that it can not be moved with bare
hands (without appropriate tools).
Use an adapted drill with a 6mm diameter bit, a Phillips and a flat blade screwdrivers
For your installation, do not start drilling right away .
Figure 4 : Tools needed for the installation
3.1 Positioning the central Unit
WARNING
If you do not place your immersion alarm system in the appropriate location, this one will
not function in an optimal way.
Please refer to the drawings below and find the closest configuration to your pool.
If the configuration of your pool is too complex, please seek the advice of a professional.
3.1.1 Positioning the system according to the shape and size of the pool
The following conditions must always be observed :
- The central must be located at less than 7 m from the further possible point of fall
in order to reduce the time of release of the alarm that has to be <12s
- Do not place it too close to a disturbing element ( such as Skimmer, water outlet,
cascade…), the distance between the central and the perturbation source must be
superior to 2m. If a compromise has to be made, you must privilege the distance from
the water outlet.
- The robots must be set in order not to repetitively hit the tubular probe (Some diving
type automatic pool cleaners are incompatible with the Oceaprotect immersion
detection system). Regarding robots equipped with a floating hose, the pool’s inlet
where the robot is connected to, must be placed in the opposite location from the
central unit.
- The water outlet must be directed in such way as to minimize the waves provoked in
the surface by starting the filtration process.

The Oceaprotect central must be placed in the middle of the longest side of your pool and
must have a direct sight on all the possible points of fall of your pool.
The drawings below show examples of good and wrong positioning of the central unit.

3.2 Preparation of the tubular probe member
Place the immersion central unit at the edge of the pool where you have planned to install
it.
To ensure proper function, the tubular probe must be immersed into the water at 14
cm deep ± 2cm. If needed, the tubular probe will have to be sawed in order to be
shortened. In this case, after selecting the place where the cut must be made, take off the
central from the water and saw it.

If the specified limits for the immersion of the tubular probe are not observed, the stability
and the sensitivity of the system could not be guaranteed.
Always keep a sufficient level of water in the swimming pool. If for some reason this is
not possible, you will then have, to be even more vigilant as long as the situation is not
restored or equip yourself with another certified safety device if you think this situation
could last.
WARNING
When you take the central unit out of the water, let the tube completely empty itself
from the water before turning the central unit over.
It is necessary to file the edges of the tube in order to avoid that leaves or any other
object get stuck in the tube once it is immersed in the water.
3.3 First powering of the alarm system
After taking off the two screws located in the top part of the housing, open up the central
unit.

3.4 Making of a " mannequin" in order to simulate the falls of a child
Drop tests can be realized by using a jerry can filled with at least 6 to 8 liters of water or by
using a dummy made as follows : Use rigid bottles of mineral water :
- 4 bottles of mineral water of 1 or 1.5L
- 4 bottles of mineral water of 0.5L.
Firmly tie them together (strong adhesive tape, cord…) as indicated below. The bottles
must be filled up to 100% water.
Figure 7 : Making of a dummy.
3.5 Drop tests
Lay the dummy down by the edge of the pool and in a parallel position with the edge, then
push it until it rocks into the water.
Plug the battery pack and wait the automatic arming of the system (until the green LED
blinks). Use the magnetic key that will enable you to quickly stop the siren during the tests.
You must wait ten minutes before starting the following test (necessary time for the system
to rearm itself). Carry out several drop tests with the dummy in order to check that the
alarm system functions properly.
If the alarm goes off in less than 12s after each drop, then permanently install the central
unit. To install the central unit, use the 4 holes of the housing, two of them are located
under the battery block, and the screws and plastic anchors provided with the kit. Do not
forget to put the two caps to cover the screws.
If the alarm takes more than 12s to go off or if the central unit doesn’t detect some of the
falls, make sure that you have observed the operational limits of the alarm system (read
paragraph 5 carefully), pick up another location and renew the tests. In case of failure, do
an automatic adjustment (see paragraph 3.6).
WARNING
- You must wait at least 10 minutes between two drop tests, and this whatever the
result of the last test is ( whether the alarm went off or not)
- Do not start drilling to install the central unit right away but mostly do not move or
rock it, even slightly. Put a load on top of the central unit to stabilize it while the
tests are being realised.

Remark : Coming out of the factory, the centrals are set for a swimming pool of a 8x4m
size. For the swimming pools with a size above 8x4m and lower than 10x5m, and if the
tests are not conclusive, carry out the following operation:
Unplug the battery of the central unit and plug it back. The LED indicator « temporary
disarmed» starts blinking. Wait 5 seconds and maintain the adjustment button pressed
(see figure 4) until the central unit emits a beep and release the button. Then push and
release the button in the following 5 seconds. The central unit emits a beep of
confirmation. Wait 10min, the necessary time for the central to automatically rearm itself
and re-do the drop tests.
3.6 Automatic Adjustment
The automatic adjustment consists of recording the signals produced by the falls and
those produced by the background noise of the pool. The automatic adjustment is only an
option when the tests are not conclusive. The setting is not necessary for swimming pools
with a size lower than 10x5m and with a standard shape. The automatic adjustment is
advised in cases where the swimming pools have peculiar shapes or systems of filtration
with a strong flow. It will enable the Oceaprotect alarm system to adapt exactly to the
shape and particular behaviour of your pool. It will take approximately half an hour to do an
automatic adjustment
WARNING
To carry out the automatic adjustment, imperatively make sure that the following
conditions are observed:
- Wait for a nice weather, in order not to distort the information interpreted by the central
unit during the different steps of the adjustment. The setting will be carried out when there
is very slight or no wind at all (no gusty wind during the adjustment). I case of bad weather,
it would be preferable to postpone the adjustment procedure.
-The recommendations on how to position the central unit in paragraph 3.1 must be
observed.
- The alarm system in not used in its limits of utilization. (see paragraph 5)
- Do not start drilling to install the central unit right away and mostly do not move or rock it,
even slightly. Put a load on top of the central unit to stabilize it while the tests are
being performed.
- The adjustment procedure must be carry out in less than 60 min . If you exceed this time,
disconnect and reconnect the battery pack to start over the adjustment.
To carry out the adjustment, three possible points of fall will be used.
Before starting, unplug and plug back the batteries of the central unit. The LED
“Temporary deactivation” starts blinking. Wait approximately 5min without moving the
central unit and make sure that:
• There has been no action in the pool for at least 10min.
• The filtration system is on.
• The robot cleaner, the counter-current swimming systems and eventual fountains
and cascades are not in service
• The test dummy is placed at the selected location of the fall.
Reminder : In the case, you are using several central units Oceaprotect, each one of them
has to be be adjusted and tested separately while the others must be unplugged. Make
sure that for each one of them, the three possible points of fall are in direct sight and that
there are located at less than 7 m from the central units.

NB: If after completing the adjustment, the central still does not detect all the falls, it
might be necessary to add a second central unit to your system. It will be, thus,
necessary to renew the adjustment for each one of the centrals separately.
Below are the different steps to follow to carry out the automatic adjustment :
