Trouble Shooting

Q. Alarm unit cannot detect underwater wave signal

Check the unit by hitting the TEST button. If the unit does not give any beep, replace the 9V battery with a new one.

Check the headphone jack connection between the sensor tube and the alarm unit control head. Make sure it is connected properly.

Check the sensitivity setting on the bottom of the underwater sensor and the depth of the sensor into the water.

Q. The alarm unit gives frequent false alarms

Check the sensitivity setting. The sensitivity may be set too high.

The sensor can detect any water disturbance including the flow from the filter pump. Place the alarm unit away from the return, or put a deflector cap on the sensor cage.

Q. The poolside alarm unit siren cannot be turned OFF

Push and hold BOTH the green button and yellow button for 3 seconds until you hear 5 consecutive beeps.

Wait until the water settles down before you turn on the unit again.

Q. The receiver does not sound alarm immediately when the poolside alarm goes off

The transmitter makes 3 attempts in 10 seconds. If the receiver missed the first transmission because of interference, it has the 2nd and then the 3rd chance to pick up the RF alarm signal. Because of this, occasionally the receiver may experience a time delay.

Weak RF signal is more susceptible to any interference. Replace the 9V battery with a new one.
