IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING:
!
Read all instructions prior to installing or operating this device.
Failure to follow the instructions may result in injury or death.
This device is not intended to replace any other safety consideration:
that is, adult supervision, lifeguards, fences, gates, pool covers,
locks, and so forth, and some devise may not detect gradual entry.
This product is intended for use on residential pools only, and the
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for injuries or consequential
property damage while this product is in use on a swimming pool.
Proper installation and maintenance are the sole responsibility of the
pool owner.
Do not permit children to use this product unless closely supervised
by an adult at all times.
Do not use this product if it is damaged in any way.
Swimming instruction is recommended for those who cannot swim.
Participation in a safety instructional course such as CPR (especially
for children) is recommended.
For children or persons that cannot swim, a Personal Floatation
Device (PFD) is recommended when entering the pool area.
Never leave children unattended near or in the pool.
It is imperative to react quickly once the alarm has sounded.
Test the alarm weekly to ensure it is working properly.
Do not leave toys or objects floating in an unattended pool as this
may invite children to enter the pool.
Keep the pool water clear so all objects on the bottom of the pool are
visible.
Layers of protection add to the security of the pool. A barrier fence
should always be used around a pool in conjunction with a gate or
door alarm, such as SmartPool’s YardGard to alert the responsible
party that an unwanted intrusion to the pool area has occurred.

INSTALLATION
P SITI NING F THE ALARM
WARNING: Every pool is different. The alarm
must be tested immediately upon installation to
ensure the positioning of the alarm fits its specific
environment. Improper positioning of the alarm or
return fitting may result in under-performance or
false alarms, potentially leading to personal injury
or death.
The location of your alarm is critical to ensure that
it performs to its optimum abilities. Below are
diagrams showing the most popular pool styles
and their optimum mounting points on the pool.
Decide which configuration is closest to your pool
and continue with the installation. Thoroughly test
the alarm once it is installed to ensure the
positioning is correct.
• In configuration A the alarm is effective on
pools up to 16’ x32’ and should be placed
at location 1 or 2.
• In configuration B the alarm should be
installed at location 1 if the pool size is 26
feet (8M) or less. If the pool exceeds 26
feet (8M) then a second alarm is required.
In this case, install the alarms at location 2
AND 3.
•I
n configuration C the alarm should be
installed in pools 24 feet (8m) or less, at
location 1. For pools larger than 24feet, a
second alarm should be added at location 2.
• In configuration D the alarm should be
installed in pools 17 feet or less in location
1. For pools larger than 17 feet a second
alarm should be added to location 2.
•
In configuration E the PE24 should be
installed in any of the 4 locations and a
second unit should be installed if the
diameter is greater than 24 feet.
In addition, the eyeball of the return line must be
facing a downward direction as to not disturb the
surface of the water as shown in Figure 1.

TESTING THE ALARM
To test the alarm, you can make a simple device
that will simulate the size and weight of a young
child. See Figure 11 and Fig 12.
The materials needed are:
• (4) 1.5L bottles
• Duct tape
• 6 ft of strong string
1)Fill the four bottles with water.
2)Use the duct tape to strap all 4 of the
bottles together.
3)Tie the string tightly to one of the
bottles.
4)Ensure the water is calm.
5)Turn the alarm to active mode and
place the alarm in the water.
6)Drop the bottles into the pool from a
height of 2 feet. The alarm should
sound. Use the string to retrieve the
bottles.
7) epeat above steps (2-5) from several
areas of the pool to ensure the alarm
is positioned and operating correctly.
IMPO TANT: Test the alarm weekly to
ensure it is in working order.
IMPO TANT: If the siren does not sound
when the wave/wake created by the bottles
reaches the alarm; ensure the batteries are
installed correctly and the alarm is set to
active mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING
FALSE ALARMS
This alarm has been manufactured to the highest standards to work properly
without signaling false alarms. However, false alarms can occur for a number of
reasons, but remember that false alarms are better than no alarm at all.
• Heavy winds and severe weather conditions that are steady and cause the
pool water to rock or force objects into the pool may trigger the alarm but
light rain and wind will not.
• Installing the alarm directly after swimmers have exited the pool may
trigger the alarm (depending on pool size and type of swimming activity).
Allow the water to settle prior to installing the alarm after the pool has been
used.
• Certain water features such as waterfalls or fountains may cause the alarm
to signal. Install the alarm away from these features.
• Automatic cleaners may also set the alarm off. Hoses or cords that come in
contact with the alarm or wake created by the cleaner can trigger the siren.
Find an area where the cleaner will not come in contact with the alarm or
run the cleaner when the alarm is not in use.
• Ensure that all returns are facing downward as turbulence created by a pool
return may signal an alarm.
ALARM N T S UNDING
• Certain water features such as waterfalls or fountains may cause the alarm
to signal. Install the alarm away from these features.
REM TE ALARM N T S UNDING
• check the batteries/the outlet is functional and ensure the remote is within
working range (100 linear feet/30M)
