The Detector Unit's "anti-theft" alarm will sound if the Unit is dismantled while the
system is on. Enter 1234 on the Detector unit keypad to deactivate the "anti-theft"
alarm.
STEP 6 - Mount the Detector Unit Base Plate (optional)
• Turn off the system by pressing 1234*99 before opening the detector.
• Mark the location of the Detector Unit on the pool deck. Remove the Detector Unit from the
pool.
• Remove the two screws at the rear of the Detector Unit, and slide the base plate off the
Detector Unit housing. Remove the batteries from the Detector Unit to prevent the "anti-
theft" alarm from activating.
• Place the base plate at the previously marked position. Use a permanent marker to
mark the locations of the three holes in the base plate. Set the base plate aside.
• Use a drill and ¼”(7 mm) masonry bit to drill three holes, ¾” (19 mm) deep, at the
marked locations.
Be sure to drill the holes straight and perpendicular to the surface of the pool deck. If the
hoes are drilled at an angle, the base plate may not secure properly.
• Install one plastic insert (provided) into each of the drilled holes.
• Place the base plate on the pool deck over the drilled holes. Secure the base plate to
the pool deck with the three screws provided.
• Re-install the batteries in the Detector Unit. 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.
• Re-install the two screws at the rear of the Detector Unit.
STEP 7 - Confirm the System is On and Armed
• Wait 6 to 10 minutes to allow the unit to automatically “arm.” When the water has
stabilized and the unit is “armed”, the “ARMED” LED will blink and the beep sequence
will repeat.
• Establish the radio link as described in step 4.
• Repeat the tests described in step 5.

• Extreme environmental conditions (strong wind, heavy rain) can affect AquaGuard’s
performance, or in rare cases, cause a false alarm. The time required to return to “armed”
mode under these conditions may be longer than normal.
• In order to properly detect, the AquaGuard Detector Unit must be installed within 22 feet (7
meters) of all possible fall locations. Larger pools should be equipped with an additional
Detector Unit to meet this requirement. (Maximum 2 detectors on a pool)
• Pools with perimeter overflow are not compatible with AquaGuard.
• Vanishing edge (Infinity or zero edge) pools typically require two AquaGuard Detector Units.
Tools Required
You will need the following tools and materials to install and test the AquaGuard system:
• Marking pen • Flat-head screwdriver
• Drill • 2.5 (19.5 liter) gallon water container
• ¼” (7 mm) Masonry drill bit • Rope
• Phillips-head screwdriver
Installation
Permanent installation of the Detector Unit on the pool deck (as described in STEP 6) is optional.
STEP 1 - Choose the Detector Unit Installation Site
• The Detector Unit must be installed within 22 feet (7 meters) of all possible fall locations
and must have direct view of the rest of the pool. In most cases, this location will be at
the middle of the longest side of your pool. Typical examples of installation are shown
below.

• Be sure that the Detector Unit is not installed next to any pool features (jets, water
features, etc.) that may cause disturbance.
• Be sure that the Detector Unit can be accessed easily.
