Read all instructions prior to installing or operating this device.
Failure to follow the instructions may result in injury or death.
This product does not replace the need for adult supervision of all persons in the pool area.
This product is not a life saving device but an aid to a multi-level program of pool safety including
adult supervision, knowledge of CPR and swimming instruction for all persons using the pool.
This product is intended for use on residential pools only, and the manufacturer assumes no respon-
sibility 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 operate this product unless it is submerged in water.
Do not use this product if it is damaged in any way.
Never leave children unattended near or in the pool.
It is imperative to react quickly once the alarm has sounded.
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.
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.
eep 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
POSITIONING OF THE ALA M
ey factors for proper alarm positioning:
1) Direction of the return line water flow.
2) Distance of the alarm from all points of the pool.
• The eyeball of the return line must be facing a
downward direction as to not disturb the
surface of the water.
CORRECT INCORRECT
• Ensure that the eyeball of the return is not facing the
center of pool but is either creating a clockwise or
counterclockwise water flow.
IMPORTANT: Larger pool sizes and/or pool shapes may require the use of more than one alarm. Testing the alarm
from all areas of the pool is essential to ensure the alarm will activate regardless of the entry point.

Oval or Rectangle Pools
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 false alarms.
ALARM ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the 4 screws of the battery casing on the
alarm siren (Fig 1).
2. Install a new 9Vdc battery and reinstall battery casing.
3. Plug the Alarm Body into the Alarm Siren by
connecting the cable (Fig 2).
4. Coil the wire inside the Alarm Body and then fit the
Alarm Siren onto the Alarm Body, pressing gently into
place.
5. Press and release the black Test button on the front of
the alarm to ensure the siren is sounding (Fig 3).
WARNING: If siren does not sound, check that the
Alarm Body connection from Step 3 is secure and retest.
If issue persists, please see the warranty section of the
manual for Technical Support contact information.
MOUNTING THE ALARM
IMPORTANT: There are two options for mounting the
alarm to the pool. Choose the best option for the specific
design of the pool to ensure full protection of the pool.
IMPORTANT: The alarm must be installed vertically, so
that the Float is directly aligned with the Alarm
Body/must run parallel with the pool wall.
IMPORTANT: When installing the alarm, ensure the
Sensor Float is parallel with the pool wall prior to
tightening the clamps.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the sensor is at the minimum
depth requirement as indicated on the alarm body prior
to tightening the clamps.

1. Using the "W" shaped Ladder Mount Clamps, place
(1) clamp around the alarm and the top, vertical
portion of ladder, ensuring a tight fit around the
ladder. If the clamp is loose around the ladder, insert a
set of Ladder Shims to tighten the fit around the
ladder (Fig 4 & 5).
2. Use the self tapping screws and loosely secure the
clamp to the ladder and alarm.
3. Maneuver the Alarm Body to ensure the sensor depth
and Sensor Float are correctly positioned as indicated
on the Alarm Body (Fig 10).
4. Install the second clamp further down the ladder to
support the alarm.
1. Identify the location of the where the alarm will be
installed.
2. Using a water-proof paint/concrete sealer, paint the
area where the alarm will be installed that is 1" wider
and longer than the metal Mounting Plate (Fig 6).
3. Loosely attach the Alarm Body to the Mounting Plate
using the machine-threaded screws and the "U"
shaped Plate Brackets (Fig 7).
4. After the area dries, place the alarm in the installation
area and confirm that the Alarm Body is parallel with
the pool wall. If the Mounting Plate needs to be
leveled, use the (2) Plate Shims to level the
Mounting Plate by securing to the back of the plate
with small screws provided (Fig 8).
5. Attach the adhesive pads to the corners of the
Mounting Plate (Fig 9).
6. Center the Mounting Plate in the installation area and
press the plate down firmly to secure it to the deck.
7. Maneuver the Alarm Body to ensure the sensor depth
and Sensor Float are correctly positioned as indicated
on the Alarm Body (Fig 10).
8. Tighten the screws to the Mounting Plate to secure the
Alarm Body.
IMPORTANT: Check Sensor Float positioning, sensor
depth and ensure the Alarm Body is parallel with the pool
wall (vertical).

not sounding during testing or if siren seems to be
operating at a lower volume.
1) Ensure the surface of the pool water is calm.
2) Turn the alarm to the ON position.
3) Fill a 5 gallon bucket 1/3 of the way with water.

inches (Fig 14).
NOTE: The wave created from the bucket will travel at
4ft per second to reach the alarm.
5) Once the alarm sounds, turn the alarm OFF and wait
for the water to settle before turning the alarm back
to the ON position.
6) Repeat the test from various points of the pool to
ensure the alarm is operating correctly.
IMPORTANT: If the siren does not sound when the
wave created by the bucket reaches the alarm, please
see the troubleshooting guide for assistance. If the siren
sounds prior to dropping
the bucket into the
water, please refer to
following section entitled
