“We Protect the Things that Protect You.”

Thank you for purchasing the STI Wireless Pool Alert. The Pool Alert can be used to provide a high
volume alert when a pool or spa area has been entered. It can be used outdoors on wood or metal gates
or indoors on doorways leading directly to potentially dangerous areas. STI Wireless Pool Alert is not a
substitute for supervision. Use as your “last line of defense.” Your satisfaction is important to us. Please
take the time to read this manual carefully to get the most from your product.
How the Product Works:
STI Wireless Pool Alert is designed to detect, by way of magnetic break, a door or gate opening, will sound an
85 dB alert and transmit a 433 MHz signal to an optional STI Wireless Alert Series Receiver.
Important Notes:
The STI Wireless Pool Alert, when properly installed, complies with UL 2017 Residential Water-Hazard Entrance
Alarm Equipment Type SM, Self-Monitored Alert System. Strict adherence to mounting height and orientation is
required for code; however, there may be additional local code requirements. The alert is not allowed to have a
power switch, nor is the cover allowed to be mounted to the base without a battery installed. The STI Wireless
Pool Alert can provide valuable protection when used correctly; however, it cannot guarantee protection against
accidents or injuries. Therefore, STI cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage or injury that may occur. It
is the user’s responsibility to test and maintain the operations of the STI Wireless Pool Alert. The STI Wireless Pool
Alert is water resistant, but not water proof. Do not submerge in water or allow water to enter through the locking
snap. Refer to Receiver instructions for wireless programming.
Operational States:
Normal – all door/gates closed
Pre-Alert – A series of double beeps 7 seconds before going into “Alert.” If door/gate is opened without pushing
“Bypass” button, unit enters “Pre-Alert” state immediately.
Bypass – press button before opening door/gate for a 15 second walk through with no alert sound. Button can be
pushed at any time to reset 15 second timer. Unit will go into “Alert” unless entry is closed.
Alert – full alert for opened door/gate. Red LED and 85 dB siren are continuous until the battery drains or button
pressed. Press button during “Alert” to initiate “Bypass.” During “Alert”, if the door/gate is closed, siren will sound
for 30 seconds, then return to normal state.
Low Battery indication – at Pool Alert – 1 short beep every minute
Optional receiver also has a low battery indication. See receiver instructions for information.
Operating Instructions:
Test and Program
1. Before mounting remove cover (Fig. 1).
2. Place magnet next to magnetic switch (location shown
Fig. 4) then remove the Pink Mylar battery tab. Green LED
flashes 1 time every 30 seconds (Normal State).
3. Move magnet away from magnetic switch. Pool Alert
should make a series of double beeps and red LED
flashes for approximately 7 seconds (Pre-Alert State),
then alarm sounds and red LED is solid (Alert State).

Maintenance:
When the volume becomes low, or the unit does not produce normal alert sound, replace the CR123, 3V Lithium battery. The STI
Wireless Pool Alert’s plastic resists ultraviolet rays from direct sunlight exposure. However, slight discoloration over time is normal.
Recommend testing STI Wireless Pool Alert once a week.

Battery Safety Guidelines and Precautions:
Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, moisture or direct sunlight. Do not place batteries on conductive surface (anti-static
mat, packaging bag or form trays) as it can cause the battery to short. Keep the battery contact terminal surfaces clean and free
from moisture and foreign matter. Before inserting the battery, check the battery contact terminals to make sure they are normal,
not bent or damaged. Bent terminals may not make good contact with the battery or may cause it to short-circuit.
