Sensitivity Adustment Turning the black flotation base clockwise or counterclockwise raises or lowers the sensing ring with respect to the water. stops. Do not force it. This is the most sensitive position and the position that was used to pass ASTM testing. Moving the float from this position will no longer meet ASTM requirements The closer the sensing ring is to the water, the more sensitive the alarm. Turn the black flotation base gently clockwise until it. Sensitivity Marks The “Sensitivity Marks” can be used as a general indicator for the sensitivity position. Should the sensitivity need to be adjusted start making adjustments by turning the float only a ¼ turn at a time. Test the alarm after each adjustment. We do not recommend turning the float out more than three full turns. TROUBLESHOOTING Pool alarm will not work. Low or missing battery. Replace battery with a new 9V alkaline. Pool alarm makes a chirp sound occasionally. The battery voltage may be low. Replace battery with a new 9V alkaline. Pool alarm was working and now it is not. Oxidation can build up on the sensing post. Lightly clean with steel wool. Pool alarm gives false alarms. Check that the alarm is not near the filter, pump or jets. Be sure the filter inlet is pointed downward. Water can be heard inside pool alarm. Remove battery and return the pool alarm and receiver to Posthaste Electronics for service. The LED on the receiver does not light. Be sure wall transformer is plugged into a 110VAC outlet and the power jack is plugged into the receiver. Check that the ON/OFF switch is ON. Receiver is turned on but does not work when the pool alarm is triggered. Receiver may be too far from the alarm. Relocate. Receiver may be in a building with metal siding or with foil insulation. Relocate near a window. Alarm sounds for no apparent reason. A neighbor may have the same alarm. Place the receiver in ID mode and train the transmitter to the receiver. Alarm Placement for pools 20x40 ft or smaller One pool alarm can be used for all pool types. This includes aboveground, in-ground, inflatable and soft side pools. Alarm Placement for pools larger then 20x40 ft It is recommended that more than one alarm should be used in pools larger than 20x40 ft. One alarm Multiple alarms RECEIVER Your receiver works with the pool alarm allowing you to monitor your pool from within your house. When the floating alarm is activated it sends a signal to activate the receiver. Transmission Modes The receiver has two modes of operation: Serial Number mode (SN mode) and ID mode. When the receiver is in SN mode it will accept the transmission of any Pool Patrol transmitter (this is the default setting). The serial number is common to all transmitters. When the receiver is in ID mode it will accept the serial number plus the ID number of the transmission. The ID number is unique to each transmitter. RECEIVER PLACEMENT It is best to place the receiver next to a window or wood door adjacent to the pool with-in 200 feet from the transmitter. Do not place the receiver near steel walls, cabinets, on or alongside an electrical appliance, such as a computer, or on a metal surface as this may affect signal reception. The pool alarm will not transmit its signal through the ground.

With small children in the house and a backyard pool, I knew we needed a pool alarm for safety. This seemed to be the highest rated and I liked that it would work with our frame pool also. It was easy to set up and test for sensitivity and works exactly as described. One thing we noticed however is if the pump is running and disturbing the surface of the water, or if there is much of a breeze blowing to cause rippling in the water, the alarm will go off a lot. We have found that during windy or inclement weather, we have to remove the alarm as it will continuously trigger false alarms. We also noticed that when our pool filter is freshly cleaned, the filter outlet causes enough rippling to set off the alarm which is kind of annoying. Aside from that, it's very well designed and reliable for going off if the water is disturbed at all. I think there's a bit of a learning curve and some tweaking that needs to be done with the sensitivity in order to get the best results but I love that it has the remote sensor for inside the house and that you are able to adjust the sensitivity.Everyone with a backyard pool, even a frame set or other soft sided pool, should have a pool alarm to protect those around the pool and any unexpected visitors. This is a great alarm, the price is reasonable, and it works as described. We are very happy with our purchase.
