4 Operating principle
How TRITON™ Works?
TRITON™ detects and analyses disturbances. It was designed to detect any fall of an 18+ lbs child
into your swimming-pool in the following conditions. It alerts you by triggering the powerful siren after a
few seconds.
For your security and convenience, the device has three major modes:
-« DETECTION »
MODE
:
oTRITON™ monitors the pool and the LED : blinks in green quickly.
oThe siren emits a 85+ dB signal at 10 feet when triggered by the fall of a 18+ lbs body in the
pool.
oThe device defaults to this mode when you switch it on.
-« I
NACTIVE DETECTION
»
MODE
:
oTRITON™ doesn’t monitor the pool and the LED : blinks in red quickly.
oThe alarm won’t trigger even if something or someone falls into the pool
oSelect this mode using the password (initially 1234) to deactivate the siren before using the
pool.
oThe device defaults to this mode when you insert the batteries
oWarning: the device leaves this mode 1 minute and 30 seconds after the pool becomes totally
still. Then, it goes back to “DETECTION” mode. (Be patient, because this can take more than
10 minutes to happen).
NEVER LEAVE THE POOL UNATTENDED IN THIS MODE.
oIn case of high winds, the device can’t monitor the pool and could switch automatically to
« INACTIVE DETECTION » mode.
-« R
EACTIVATION DETECTION
»
MODE
:
oTRITON™ monitors partially the pool and the LED : blinks alternately in red and in
green quickly.
oThe alarm can trigger if something or someone falls into the pool, but the performances required
by ASTM standard F2208e1 are not guaranteed.
oThis mode occurs when a manual activation of the system is required (cf. above) but that the
pool is still agitated, just after swimming for instance or just after something or someone fell into
the pool.
oThe system will switch automatically to DETECTION MODE after the pool becomes totally
motionless.
oThe device defaults to this mode when you insert the batteries.
NEVER LEAVE THE POOL UNATTENDED IN THIS MODE.
-« OFF »
MODE
:
oTRITON™ won’t monitor the pool. All the LEDs are OFF.
oNone of the accidental falls will be detected.
oYou can switch to this mode to change the batteries or to maintain the pool.
oWarning: there is no automatic switching into « DETECTION » mode.

Installation and user guide- 6
NEVER LEAVE THE POOL UNATTENDED IN THIS MODE.
To reduce your reaction time, TRITON™ includes a remote alarm system with a radio receiver
which can be set up near your living room (or other convenient location). This will also sound a siren in
case of fall in the pool. (Cf. §6)

- You can see the LED : (blinks in green). Your device is in “DETECTION” mode.
-Put back the cover on the base and hold down - without screwing down the screws - while
inserting the black hose in the rigid tube. IMAGE 3 et 4
5.2 Location choice
Before starting to install your device, please ensure choosing the most suitable location, by
following the guidelines thereby:
-- Avoid setting up your device on the edge of your pool before checking the proper position which will
allow the best monitoring place.
-- When choosing the proper detection place for the device, you should ensure that the siren is audible
from the inside of your house.
Your falling detector should be placed in the middle of the largest length on a brink
(recommended position for rectangular shaped pool). If your pool doesn’t fit any of the configurations
below, please ask for advice at your reseller.
Check that the access to the command keyboard is convenient and easy.
Please take the necessary precautions to ensure that the TRITON™ is at more than a
meter away from the filtration system (pushback noses, sluice gate, skimmer, and
vacuum cleaner plug), waterfall or any equipment which can locally commove the pool.
Your falling detector can be used on pools measuring 20x40 feet (6 x 12 m) maximum,
and it should not be at more than 28 feet (8.5m) from all the potential falling points.
For a swimming-pool with bigger dimensions or with a particular shape, please ask for
advices at your reseller.

5.4 Installation Tests
-Please check that the pool is calm. If you have upriver swimming system, stop it.
-Prepare a 2.5 US gal. Jerry can with enough water to weight18 lbs (8kg) and tie a 6 feet rope
to get it back after the falling tests.
NOTE: If desired, you have the opportunity to perform your tests in attenuated siren mode
(facultative). In this mode, the siren is attenuated and stops by itself after 5 seconds. See chapter
7.5 page X for more details.
-For these tests, TRITON™ should be in “DETECTION” mode (the LED : (blinks in
green)). If this is not the case, please type the “DETECTION” code (press any key twice).
-If despite these actions, the LED doesn’t blink in green, it means that the pool is too
commoved. You should wait for your pool to stabilize before performing your tests.
•Fall test
Check that your device is in « DETECTION » mode. (The LED : blinks in green)
-Choose the furthest position from your falling detector. IMAGE 3
-Simulate a body fall by making fall the 18 lbs jerry can from the top of the swimming pool’s edge.
oThe siren must ring out in less than 20 seconds after the fall.
oEnter your password to stop the siren.
Wait for the automatic reset of the falling detector. (The LED : blinks back in green)
-Choose a position 3 feet away from your falling detector. IMAGE 4
-Simulate the body fall by making fall the 18 lbs jerry can from the top of the swimming pool’s edge.
oThe siren must ring out in less than 20 seconds after the fall.
oEnter your password to stop the siren.

6 Recommendations for remote siren installation
To install and use your remote siren, you will need the following elements and tools:
1 remote siren (the red and white case)
1 power supply 110V/12V, 450mA
1 fixation kit (bag including 2 screws and tapping inserts)
1 cross-shaping screwdriver.
1 Ø 0.25 in (6mm) concrete drill and the associate driller.
IMAGE 1
The remote siren shall be installed 70 feet max. away from TRITON™. This is not an outdoor siren
and so should be installed in premises away from bad weather.
- Operating principle
oThe remote siren is remotely driven by the TRITON™ via radio frequencies.
oIf a fall is detected by TRITON™ in the pool, the TRITON™ siren and the remote siren will trigger
simultaneously.
oIt is impossible to stop the sirens from the remote device. It is imperative to go to the pool, check
what triggered the sirens, act if necessary and stop the sirens by typing the password. (initially:
1234)
oLike the TRITON™ main device, if you don’t stop the siren by typing the password after a trigger,
the remote siren will stop automatically after 3 minutes.
- Synchronization
To enable a link between the TRITON™ and the remote siren, you should synchronize the two
devices.
a) Choose a location for your remote device
o70 feet away (max) from the TRITON™
oNear an electrical plug.
b) Plug the power supply to the remote siren. IMAGE 2
c) Plug the power supply on the electrical plug, a PIP sound, and your remote device is installed.
IMAGE 3
d) Launch the synchronization mode of the remote system by pressing the black button on the side
of the red and white case.
e) Switch on MANUAL mode by typing the manual code 112344 on your TRITON™. (The LED :
blinks in yellow). IMAGE 4
f) Launch the synchronization of the TRITON™ by pressing the synchronization code 3333 ((the
LED : blinks in green). The remote siren should beep.
g) Stop the synchronization mode of the remote system by pressing the black button on the side of
the red and white case.
h) Switch your TRITON™ to DETECTION mode by typing your password (initially 1234). Both
systems should beep.
i) Perform a falling test in your pool to validate your radio link. Stop both sirens by typing the
password (initially 1234).
oYou can synchronize one or more TRITON™ with one or more sirens. In that case you should
repeat on each TRITON™ the e) and f) steps followed by pressing the black button on each
remote siren(s).
oYou can reset the remote siren by pressing lengthily on the black button (3 seconds). You will

7 TRITON™ Operating principle
PRÉCAUTIONS D’UTILISATION
•TRITON™ can NOT be a substitute for parents’ watchfulness and/or responsible grown-
ups, which remain the most reliable method of 5- years old children safety.
•The intervention of a responsible grown-up is mandatory while the alarm rings out.
•A few unfavorable meteorological conditions (strong wind, storms …) plus the use of a few
powerful cleaning tools could cause inopportune triggers.
•Your alarm system is inoperative if the water in the probe is frozen or if the swimming pool
surface is frozen. It is hard to know when the water starts to freeze in the pipe. In case of
doubt, please check the proper operating state of your falling detector.
•For the external cleaning of your device, please avoid using high pressure unit, abrasive
brush and/or any tool that can stripe or impair your falling detector.
•The proper performance of TRITON™ is not correctly achieved if used in parallel with
tarpaulins.
•To guarantee the good operating state of your device, please maintain the water clear and
clean. (Notably, to avoid the formation of algae in the probe).
•In case of restart of your falling detector after an extended stop, please proceed the tests
explained in § 5.4. In case of issue, please contact immediately your local seller.
•Regarding the maintenance of the device after the first installation, only replacing the
batteries is allowed.
•Check regularly, the proper performance of your falling detector by running monthly control
tests appearing at the end of this manual. (See §11).
•A few cleaning robots (for instance “diving” ones) are incompatible with falling detector
systems.
•The person setting up the device should be aware that another person should monitor the
pool.
•A person’s watchfulness and/or a responsible grown-up are necessary between the end of
the swim and the automatic reset of the alarm system.
7.1 I want to swim
- Your falling detector watches out (i.e. : « DETECTION » mode activated (The LED : blinks
in green)
- Type your password (initially 1234). (Inactive detection mode activated: The LED :
blinks in red and a low tone sound (BURP) is heard)
- You can swim.
After the swim, the pool won’t be monitored until the automatic reset which will occur while the pool is
quiet. Typically, the reset occurs after 10 mn approximately.

Installation and user guide- 16
7.2 Automatic reset
- Your falling detector keeps on checking the agitation state of the pool. As soon as the pool is
sufficiently quiet, after a swim or a strong perturbation (strong wind, upriver swimming system …)
your falling detector switches automatically to REACTIVATION mode (the LED :
blinks in green / red). The fall detector is active but downgraded.
- As soon as the pool is fully quiet, your falling detector switches automatically to “DETECTION”
mode(the LED : blinks in green). This could take more than 10 minutes.
Your pool is now secured.
WARNING: It is possible that the device changes to DETECTION mode if you are in the pool
without making any disturbances.
7.3 Manual reset
After a swim, you can signal to your falling detector that your pool is let unused, in order for it to
restart the monitoring faster.
You are in one of the 3 cases below:
Commoved pool: Case1
Lightly commoved pool: Case 2
Quiet pool: Case3
Press twice on any key while leaving the pool.
Case 1: Your falling detector measures that your pool is too commoved. In that case, your device
understands your request by responding with a high tone sound (PIP) but can’t restart immediately
the monitoring. The LED : blinks in red. It will progressively start the monitoring as the
pool becomes quiet.

8 FAQ Frequently asked questions
During the installation
QI2. When a 18+ lbs (8kg) body falls in the pool during the tests, my siren triggers after 20 s or doesn’t
trigger, why?
RI2.1. Your pool has dimensions bigger than 20 x 40 feet or a really special shape. One
detector isn’t sufficient. Ask advice at your local reseller.
RI2.2. Your falling detector isn’t installed in the recommended location. The fall is realized
beyond the 28 feet detection radius. Please move it to the recommended location. See §5.2
RI2.3. If none of these conditions seem to be the source of the problem, please ask advice at
your local reseller or contact our after sale service: tech_support@safeblue.com
During the utilization
QU1. The siren triggers in an inopportune way.
RU1.1. The meteorological conditions are too unfavorable (strong wind, thunderstorms…) and
disturb the functions of the device.
RU1.2. Your cleaning robot isn’t compatible with your falling detector. It creates an event
assimilated or identical to a child fall. Please ask advices to your local reseller.
RU1.3. If none of those conditions seems to be the dysfunction origin, please ask advices to
your local reseller or contact or after sale service: tech_support@safeblue.com
GENERAL SECURITY TIPS
This alarm system can not substitute for parents’ watchfulness and/or responsible grown-up, which
remains the essential factor for 5- years’ old children safety. It substitutes neither to horse sense nor to
individual responsibility.
WARNING
Improper installation, testing, maintenance or operation of this product can make the alarm fail
to sound, increasing the risk of drowning. Follow all instructions in this document to reduce this
risk.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POOL ALARM
Even when correctly installed, maintained, tested, and operated, this alarm cannot completely
prevent drowning:
•In some situations, the alarm will not sound when a child enters the pool.
oIf a child enters the pool slowly or gradually, without disturbing the water much,
the alarm may not detect it.
oThe alarm may not detect very small child (under 18 lbs) entering the pool.
oWhen weather (e.g., wind) or other factors disturb the water, the alarm
automatically reduces sensitivity or becomes INACTIVE DETECTION, to prevent
excessive false alarms. When this happens, a child may enter the pool without
the alarm sounding.
oWhen the alarm is INACTIVE DETECTION to allow swimming, it will not sound if a
child enters the pool or if a child is drowning.
oAfter swimming with the alarm in INACTIVE DETECTION mode, the alarm will not
sound if a child enters the water until the device switches in DETECTION mode.
Depending on the time the water lasts to calm down, the reactivation may take
more than 10 minutes (depending on weather conditions).
