Directions
Installing PooGuard Door Alarm and Battery Indoor use only - Determine the best location. Alarm must be installed at least 54 inches above the treshold of the door.
- Remove mounting plate from door alarm by removing the four small screws. Place mounting plate at the location on the wall which you have chosen to lacate the alarm. With a pencil mark the two spots where the large end of the key holes will be located when you hang the door alarm. These two marks are where the 2 larger supplied screws will be inserted into the wall to hang your alarm.
- Remove the mounting plate from the wall and insert the 2 larger supplied screws into the wall on the two marks. Leave about 3/16" (not including the head of the screw) of the screw from the wall.
- Pull out the battery snap from inside the back of the door alarm and connect the 9-volt battery. Pull down the battery level on mounting plate and install the 9-volt battery into the battery holder according to the battery placement decal located on the battery lever.
- Reattach the mounting plate to the door alarm with the four screws. If the batter lever is not pulled down when installing th 9-volt battery the mounting plate can not be reattached to the door alarm.
- When the 9-volt Battery is installed to the door alarm, the LED will flash once every 10 seconds. When the alarm sounds, the LED will flash once every second.
- Hang door alarm on the mounted screws and pull downward until the screws are positioned in the small end of the keyholes in the back of the unit.
- Now that the battery is installed you may accidentally set the unit off whil you are connecting the sensor wires. If this happens press the delay switch. You are now ready to connect your door alarm to the sensor switch.
Installing Door Sensor The PoolGuard Door Alarm is activated by a sensor which consist of two parts. One part contains the sensor switch and the other part the sensor magnet. Both the sensor switch and the sensor magnet have plasic covers; these plastic covers must be removed before installation. The sensor switch has two connecting screws for the sensor wire that come from the PoolGuard Door Alarm. Using 4 smaller scres supplied, the sensor switch is installed in the stationary part of the door, and the sensor magnet on the door itself. To function properly the sensor switch and sensor magnet must be close together and line up perfectly. In some cases it will be necessary to use some wood. plastic, or double sided foam tape under the sensor switch or sensor magnet to achieve this. For best operation the sensor switch and sensor magnet should almost touch, but a spacing of up to 1/2" is acceptable. If the door frame is made of steel, the sensor switch and sensor magnet must be spaced at least 1/8" or evern better 1/4" away from the door frame and door. Use pieces of wood, plastic, or double sided foam tape for this purpose. Connecting sensor wires to sensor switch The sensor wires are permanently connected to the door alarm. Connec the sensor wires by loosening the 2 screws on the sensor swtich and sliding the exposed ends of the sensor wirs under the teminals and tighten the screws. It does not matter which wire goes to which terminal. Reattach plastic covers. If the cover for the sensor switch does not lock into place because of the sensor wires, remove the knockout from the side of the sensor switch cover. Operating you door alarm The PoolGuard Door Alarm uses two delay modes which allow the user to exit and enter the door without the alarm sounding. These two modes are explained below. - First Delay Mode: When the door is opened the alarm automatiaclly goes into the first delay mode which gives you 7 seconds after the door is opened to push the delay switch. If the delay switch is not pushed with 7 seconds the alarm will sound with the door open or closed. To silence the alarm close the door then push the delay switch.
- Second Delay Mode: When the door is opened and the delay switch is pushed within 7 seconds, this puts the door alarm in the second delay mode which allows you 14 seconds to go through the door and close it. When the door is closed with 14 seconds, the alarm will automatically reset. If the door is not closed within 14 seconds, the alarm will sound.
Low Battery Function When the 9-volt battery is low, the door alarm horn will chirp once every 10 seconds, this means it is time to install a new battery. Test the door alarm weekly by opening the door and allowing the alarm to sound.
