• Sensor Tube Check: Check the sensor tube monthly to ensure it is secure and damage-
free (no cracks, breaks, deformation, etc.). Make sure the bottom of the sensor tube is 5 - 6
inches (13 – 15 cm) below the surface of the water. Add water to the pool, or install the
Sensor Tube Extension (see System Components on page 4 for more information) if
needed.
• Storage During Winter: If the water in your pool normally freezes during the winter months,
the Detector Unit must be removed for storage before freezing occurs (see Special
Considerations During Winter on page 15 for more information).
Replacing the Batteries
Replace the Detector Unit or Remote Unit batteries whenever a low battery is indicated (see
Managing the System on page 12 for a description of the low battery indication).
Be sure to turn the system off whenever replacing the Detector Unit batteries. If the unit is not
turned off, the unit’s Anti-Theft System will sound the alarm (see The Anti-Theft System on page 15
for more information).
Detector Unit:
1. Press 1234*99 on the Detector Unit keypad(s) to turn the system “off.”
Note: You will not hear a beep when you press the second 9.
2. Remove the two screws at the rear of the Detector Unit. Lift up slightly at the rear of the
Detector Unit housing, and slide the unit forward off of the base plate.
3. Remove the old batteries from the battery compartment. Install four “D” size batteries in the
battery compartment.
4. Place the Detector Unit housing over the base plate. Lift up slightly on the rear of the
housing. Slide the tab on the front of the base plate into the slot in the nose of the Detector
Unit housing; then lower the housing onto the base plate.
5. Re-install the two screws at the rear of the Detector Unit.
6. The system will now start the arming sequence. The Detector Unit will emit 10 short beeps,
followed by one long beep, indicating that the system is armed. The rear LED will begin
flashing.
Remote Unit:
1. Remove the four screws on the back of the Remote Unit, and remove the back cover.
2. Remove the old battery from the battery clip.
3. Install a new 9-volt battery in the battery compartment by snapping the battery clip onto the
battery posts.
4. Place the back cover onto the Remote Unit and re-install the four screws.
Re-establish the Radio Link:
• Turn the Detector Unit (at pool edge) off by pressing 1234.
• Power up the Remote Unit by plugging the AC Adapter into the wall outlet.
• Turn the Detector Unit on by entering 1234 on the keypad.
• Wait until the Detector Unit arms and observe that the green LED on the Remote Unit is
flashing.

Step 2
Insert batteries into detector (automatically turns unit on; wait 4
to 12 minutes for unit to calibrate and arm) (Page 7)
Step 3 Attach sensor tube (page 8)
Step 4 Put detector into pool (verify proper depth for tube and pick
proper location)
Step 5 When detector arms (audio sequence of 10 beeps plus rear red
LED blinking slowly) check Remote Unit to insure that “Armed”
indicator LED (green) is blinking. (Page 11)
Step 6 Drop full 2.5 gal water jug into pool at furthest point away from
