2 Operating principle • Your alarm system is equipped with a technology which detects the disturbances and analyzes the fall of a

body in your pool. lt informs you by the release of a powerful siren after a few seconds. • A continuous analysis of its environment enables it to adapt its operation to the surrounding conditions and

thus to avoid inopportune releases. • Pour votre confort et votre sécurité, il dispose des modes de fonctionnement décrits ci-après. • For your comfort and your safety, it displays the following operating modes:

Description of the operating modes Means of identification

"Active monitoring" • The led beside the swimmer symbol is off • The alarm starts when a body fa lis into the swimming pool. • The siren emits at least a 1 OOdB signal.

"Inactive monitoring" The led beside the swimmer symbol is flashing The alarm will not start whi le flashing, even if a body falls into the swimming-pool.

• Allows to make the siren inoperative during the bath. The user selects • this mode by applying the magnet on the swimmer symbol located on • the sticker on the top of the device (SensorPremium) or at the back of the device (SensorSolar, SensorElite) before entering the pool. • A 3 seconds long beep indicates that the device switches to the active

monitoring mode. • The device is programmed to leave this mode and reset in "active monitoring" mode alter 1 minute 30 seconds, period which starts when the pool is totally cairn.

• The device always swit.ches to thls mode when you eut the siren off. • The devic.e always s"'itc.hes to thls mode when you leave the stop

mode

If the user tries to switch manually to the "active monitoring" mode • with the magnet and the pool is not cairn enough, the device will automatically switch to the inactive monitoring mode.

A 3 seconds long beep immediately followed by a sequence of 10 short beeps indicates that the pool is too agitated for an active monitor·ing. lt will r·emain in inactive monitoring until the pool is totally calm.

"Disturbed active monitoring" • Might happen during the « active monitoring » mode

Be patient. it is sometimes necessary to wait more than 10 minutes for the lona beeo to sound afler the bath.

• A specific long beep is emitted by the device, the pool is agitated, the monitoring is still active. • Disturbances which are not due to a fall are detected in the pool. The

pool analysis becornes more accurate, the detection time may be longer. • A short strong beep is emitted by the device, the pool is very agitated, the monitoring is still active but yoo have to chec.k yom· • The device automatically switches to the "active monitoring" mode

4 Installation, tests and adjustments

4.1 Position choice • Depending on the location of the house from the swimming-pool, it might be necessary to displace the

security signals, warning and failure signals so that they can be clearly audible from the house. This must be checked during the installation of the unit.

• Before fixing and to allow adjustments, the detection unit must be placed on the curb stone and necessarily positioned in the middle of the longest length of your pool. An installation on a flat surface is not essential.

EXAMPLES of placement of the central unit :

: Indicative location of your central unit Warning: The location of the central unit can influence the time of detection of a fall

• For large swimming-pools models, it might be necesary to instal several detection central (Ask your retailer

for advice) • Take care that the detection central is not placed more than one meter far from the filtration system or a water

cascade. • Make sure that the access to the activation zone (magnet application zone) is easy and practical. • The probe must be 15 to 20 cm submerged. (ideally 18 cm) to ensure an optimal operation. If necessary, cut

the probe with care to the adviced length with a hacksaw. Warning : Regularly check the water level and complete it if necessary to keep a submersion depth between 15 and 20 cm.

Your device is not yet operational, after the installation of the battery you have 30 minutes to carry out the tests and adjustments specified hereafter. During these 30 minutes the siren is in low power mode (test mode). IMPORTANT • When you purchase the device, the central unit is preset for a rectangular pool, 4X8 meters long and 1,40

meters deep (most common standard pools – French standard NF P 90-307) • Some 4X8 meters swimming-pools do not correspond precisely to these recommendations. In order to

optimize the device performances to your pool, it is possible to benefit from adjustments possibilities of the device (advanced tests).

• Nevertheless, before any intervention on the preset adjustments, it is advised to carry out the bases tests.

• In order to obtain an optimal adjustment of your device, we advice you to carry out all these tests, in a

completely calm pool, with the lid in position (You do not have to screw it, except if there is some wind) • Before any test, make sure your central unit is in « active monitoring » mode (no flashing of the led). If it is

not the case, apply the magnet on the swimmer until you obtain a long beep and the led stops flashing. • WARNING: If you hear short beeps after the long beep and the led is still flashing, the device automatically

switches to « inactive monitoring » mode, the pool is too agitated to allow a correct analysis. It is advised to start again the operation once the pool is calm.

• For the following tests, when the siren sets off: apply the magnet on the swimmer until the alarm stops.

4.2.2 Basic tests • Test 1 : Filtration • Leave your central unit on for 10 minutes while the filtration is operating. • If the device automatically switches to « inactive monitoring » mode (10 short beeps sequence + flashing

led), the preset adjustment is not suitable for your pool, please, go directly to the advanced tests (paragraph 4.2.3)

• • Test 2 : Robot • Leave your central unit on while the robot is operating in the pool. • If the device automatically switches to inactive monitoring mode (10 short beeps sequence + flashing led) ,

the preset adjustment is not suitable for your pool, please, go directly to the advanced tests (paragraph 4.2.3)

• WARNING: Some cleaning robots which climb to the water line (Robots which go in and out of the water and cause an event which might be considered like the fall of a child in the pool) are incompatible with immersion detection systems.

• Test 3 : Fall • Simulate the fall of a body in the pool by making a child or a 6-8 litres water jerry can or the dummy from

your retailer from the curb stone. The alarm must set off within 12 seconds maximum after the fall. • Fall detected within 12 seconds : stop the alarm • Fall not detected or detected in more than 12 seconds : go to the advanced tests (paragraph 4.2.3)

5.5 Additional information

It is essential that appropriate surveillance is carried out by parents

SAFETY INFORMATION It is imperative to react when the failure signal sounds. The user who switches the system off must be conscious that human monitoring must take over. The greatest vigilance of a parent or of a responsible adult is necessary between the end of the swim and the reactivation of the alarm system. In no case can your retailer or the manufacturer of this alarm system be held responsible for the fall or of the drowning of a child, a dependent person, any adult or animal. The installation of the alarm system must in no case diminish your vigilance or replace an active supervision of the swimming pool and its accesses. This alarm system, as any other device or safety equipment, is a complementary tool useful in case of temporary lack of supervision.

SAFETY ADVICE

The safety of your children depends on you!

The maximum risk is when the children are under the age of 5 years. Accidents do not only happen to others! Be prepared!

Monitoring and action

• The supervision of children must be constant and close • Choose just one adult to be responsible for security. • Be even more vigilant when there are several other users of the swimming pool. • Teach children how to swim as soon as possible. • Wet the nape of the neck, the arms and legs before entering the water. • Become knowledgeable about\ First Aid, especially specific to children. • Forbid diving and jumping in the presence of young children. • Forbid running and horseplay around the pool • Do not allow access to the pool without life jacket to a child who can’t swim or with no one to

accompany him in the water. • Do not leave toys around or in the non monitored swimming pool. • Keep the water permanently clean and clear. • Store the water treatment products out of the reach of children. • To prevent children younger than 5 years old having access to the pool when the failure signal sounds, • Take any measure of security necessary until the device is repaired. • The monitoring of the pool must be constant and close.

The speed of intervention after the alarm has sounded is crucial. Don’t ever leave the pool if a child plays

nearby. It’s the combination of a passive monitoring (alarm system) and an active monitoring (by the parents or responsible adults) that insure a high security level. The zero risk doesn’t exist. Installing this alarm system must

not decrease your vigilance or replace active and visual monitoring of the swimming pool.
