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.

Manuel d’utilisation OCEAPROTECT DSP70-C1 PRELIMINARY - Version : 1.0
7
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 :
Procedure to follow State of the central unit

When the adjustment procedure is successful the central unit emits one sharp beep and
the alarm system is temporarily disarmed (the red LED temporary deactivation starts
blinking). Wait for the central unit to automatically rearm itself and repeat the test drop to
check the functioning of the system (paragraph 3.6)
When the adjustment procedure was not properly realised, after pushing the last button
described in the procedure, the central unit emits a long low tone beep and does not put
itself in temporary deactivation mode (the red LED temporary deactivation is off and the
setting LED starts blinking).
In that case, the central unit starts automatically analysing the noise in the bottom of the
pool. Make sure that the following conditions are observed:
- There has been no action in the pool for the last 10min
- Turn off all the elements that could disturb the operation of the central unit (cascades,
robot cleaner if this latter is a diving robot that creates similar waves as the ones produced
by the fall of a child into the water)
Wait 10min and briefly push the adjustment button when the central unit start emitting
series of low tone beeps. If after pushing the last button, the central still emits a long low
tone beep and does not put itself in temporary deactivation mode which indicates that the
procedure had failed. This means that the central unit was placed in a wrong location and
that a proper functioning of the alarm system is thus, not possible. Maintain the adjustment
button pressed for 8s and release it to exit the setting mode. The central emits a beep and
puts itself in temporary deactivation mode. In that case, change the location of the
central unit or wait for favourable conditions to renew the adjustment procedure.

Remark:
To exit the adjustment mode during the simulation of falls, press the adjustment button and
maintain for a while and then release it, do it twice in a row. The system put itself in
temporary deactivation and the adjustment is cancelled. At the same time, the pre-
adjustment made in the factory are restored.
Not pushing any button for more than ten minutes during the adjustment, will have the
same effect as this fast method of cancellation.
4 Utilisation
We remind you that the alarm system Oceaprotect is a monitoring help. It does not
replace, in any case, the presence and vigilance of a responsible adults.
4.1 Arming/ Disarming the alarm system.
The system can be activated with the magnetic key. Place the magnetic key against the FI
logo sticker of the central unit’s housing. The central emits series of beeps and the
monitoring green LED starts blinking.
If this does not occur, and you hear a long low tone beep instead, it means that the water
in the pool is not sufficiently stable, or the alarm went off less than 8 minutes ago.
It is, then, necessary to wait or let the system rearm itself automatically.
To disarm the system, press the magnetic key against the FI logo sticker. The central
emits a beep in return. The system is disarmed for 8 minutes if no movement has been
detected in the water. This time will be automatically prolonged for as long as the bathing.
When the system is about to rearm itself automatically, the system check one more time if
no activity is detected in the pool and announces its state. If the central emits a low tone
beep following series of warning beeps, the activation is postponed again.
4.2 Turning off the siren
To stop the siren, place the magnetic key against the FI logo sticker of the central.
After the alarm went off, the system will not accept to go back to monitoring mode unless
8 minutes have went by since the alarm went off (in order to guarantee that the pool is
stable and avoid a second useless triggering of the siren).
4.3 Shutting down the immersion alarm system
Shutting down the system for an indeterminate period of time, is not authorised unless the
pool is protected by another certified device (cover, shutter…) or if you are not planning to
use the pool for a long period of time. The battery pack connector has to be unplugged.
To avoid unplugging it, it is possible to shut down the system by using the magnetic key
and follow the following procedure, which can only be carried out if the central is in
monitoring mode; the green LED (1) blinking (see fig. 4):

Manuel d’utilisation OCEAPROTECT DSP70-C1 PRELIMINARY - Version : 1.0
13
Position the magnetic key against the FI logo sticker of the central like explained for the
disarming of the system. Maintain this position until you hear a second beep ( all the LED
turn off). It takes about 15s.
5 Limits of utilisation
You can use this type of safety device when the location of your pool compared to the
location of your house enables you to intervene in the pool in less than 3 minutes.
The standard NF P 90-307, about swimming pool alarm systems, imposes that any fall
has to be detected within 12 seconds. For that reason, the central unit cannot be located
at more than 7 metres of a possible point of fall. Regarding big sizes swimming pool, they
must be equipped with one or more additional central units to comply with the standard’s
requirements .
Some diving type automatic pool cleaners(robot that dives in and out of the water creating
similar waves as the ones provoked by the fall of a child) along with some counter-current
swimming systems and eventual strong flow filtration systems are incompatible with the
immersion detection alarm system. It is strongly advised to shut down the counter-current
swimming systems after bathing to allow the system to rearm itself.
Oceaprotect is not adapted to mirror-type swimming pools and out of the ground pools.
Swimming pools with an access to the water inferior to 30% without any change in the
slope and some overflowing pools or pools with fountains or cascades can not be
equipped with the Oceaprotect alarm system alone.
The presence of a cover (shutter, cover with bars, solar cover...) can modify the behaviour
of the pool and prevent the system from functioning correctly.
Consult your retailer if your pool has a complex shape.
The performances as defined in the standard NF P 90-307A1, are not guaranteed beyond
levels of wind higher than those specified in this standard. The Oceaprotect alarm system
can gradually adapt to the climatic conditions in accordance with the performances defined
in the standard NF P 90-307A1 (detection of a fall when there is no wind or when there is
a constant wind of 4m/s around the pool, checking of non inconvenient activation of the
system in case there is a gust of wind of 10m/s). In case of stronger wind, and in particular
gust of wind, the sensibility of the product may be reduced. It is then necessary to increase
your vigilance during unfavourable weather.
A proper operation of the alarm system Oceaprotect is not guaranteed in case of frost. A
strong frost does not allow the system to detect any fall in the pool.
6 Test and diagnosis of the system
Do not forget to often test the Oceaprotect alarm system according to the testing
procedure described below
6.1 Drop tests
Refer to paragraph 3.5 « drop tests », you must wait at least ten minutes between each
test ( necessary time for the system to rearm itself).

Manuel d’utilisation OCEAPROTECT DSP70-C1 PRELIMINARY - Version : 1.0
14
6.2 Testing the siren
After the installation, set off the alarm. Make sure that you can hear the siren from any
place of your dwelling. It might be necessary to add complementary remote sirens
(optional).
6.3 Failures
6.3.1 Anomalies detected by the central
If the events detected by the Oceaprotect are connected to abnormal turbulences or an
incorrect level of water, the LED test indicator /anomaly will start blinking at the same time
as the indicator announcing the operating mode.
As a reminder, maintaining the required level of water must be carefully supervised
and the automatic diagnosis cannot, in any case, replace this monitoring. Its purpose
is only to help the diagnosis and it does not guarantee that any operation under
inappropriate conditions will be detected!
6.3.2 Indication defect battery of the central unit
If the battery pack runs down, the test indicator LED starts blinking at the time as the LED
indicating the normal operation of the system, and a short beep is emitted every 30
seconds. The replacement of the battery has to be done as soon as possible. In order to
avoid this dangerous situation, the battery has to be replaced each year at the beginning
of the season.
7 Maintenance
It is advised to regularly test the proper operation of the Oceaprotect system according to
paragraph 6 : Test and diagnosis of the system.
Do not wash the central unit with large amount of water. Use a wet sponge to clean the
case.
Regularly check that the level of immersion of the probe is observed.
The spare parts must be originals or in conformity with the specifications of the standard
NF P 90 307.
The batteries of the central unit last over 2 years depending on the utilization. The battery
pack is not available in any store, you can only buy them from Firstinnov’s retailers-
distributors (the reference is DSP10-S5).
WARNING: While changing the batteries, do not touch the printed circuit board. Any
deterioration of the printed circuit will cancel the guarantee offered by Firstinnov.
Instructions regarding the batteries
The batteries should not be thrown out with the household disposals. To get rid of them in
accordance with the local norm, please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally-
friendly fashion by using the existing public collection system or by returning them to your
retailer or manufacturer.

12 Safety notice
It is preferable to let a professional, trained on the Oceaprotect product, take care of the
installation.
The alarm must be heard from your dwelling. Depending on the distance from your
residence to your pool it might be necessary to deport the safety, the alert, the failure
signals in order to be heard from your residence. During the installation, checking that you
can hear the siren is imperative. Additional sirens can be purchased as an option.
The Oceaprotect alarm system is an alarm for private unenclosed swimming pools, for
individual or collective use which present a danger. The fast intervention of a responsible
person is mandatory.
This alarm system is a safety device which announces a danger (or a risk of danger).
When the alarm goes off, a responsible adult must intervention in less than 3 min. It is
imperative to react as soon as the siren goes off.
The alarm system replaces neither the common sense nor the individual liability. Its
purpose is not to replace the vigilance of the parents and/or the responsible adults, which
remains the main factor of protection for children under five years old.
The user that disarm the system must be aware that human surveillance is mandatory.
The highest caution from the parents or responsible adults is necessary between the end
of the bathing until the reactivation of the alarm system.
In case of a counter-current swimming facility, switch the counter-current off at the end of
the swimming session to allow the alarm system to rearm itself.
In case the alarm goes off, do not approach the siren too closely. Prolonged exposure to
an excessive sound level may cause hearing loss.
Using radio frequency devices that operate in the 434 MHz frequency band (for example
wireless head set) will not interfere with the transmission, and will not trigger the alarm.
However it may reduce the range of the siren.
Firstinnov’ declines any responsibility for injury or material damages resulting from the use
of the alarm system.

INSTRUCTIONS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT :
- Get the child out of the water as quickly as possible
- Call for help immediately and follow the instructions given over the phone.
- Replace wet clothes with warm blankets
The severity of the drowning depends mostly on the time it took you to find out about the
accident, sometimes it takes longer than we think to discover it, due to the initial panic, that
prevents the surrounding from acting and starting the first aids (CPR…).
The sticker with the pictogram reminding the adults of their duty to supervise young
children and that announces the electronic monitoring of the pool must remain stuck on the
central unit by the pool.
