HomeMy WebLinkAboutAPPROVED,, S187D-TECHKO-MANUALCongratulations on your purchase of the TECHKO Safe Pool model S187D safety alarm. The Safe Pool can be used to provide a high volume alarm alert when children have entered a pool or spa area. The S187D can be used outdoors on wood or metal gates, or indoors on doors and window leading directly to potentially dangerous areas. The Safe Pool is designed to sound a loud alert when children enter through a Safe Pool protected door/gate. When properly installed, the Safe Pool will allow adults to pass through the protected door/gate and immediately shut off the sounding alarm. When powered, the Safe Pool is always in protection mode. The alarm will activate the instant when the door/gate opens by more than 1/2 inch (when the magnetic sensors are apart by more than 1/2 inch). Once the alarm activates, it will sound continuously until the BYPASS button is pressed. When passing through the door/gate press the BYPASS button, then open the door/gate, pass through and close the door/gate within 8-12 seconds and the alarm will not activate. Easy installation for gate, door or window protection Water / weather resistant 9 Volt battery power (not included) High output 110-115 dB alarm siren Low Battery / signal LED Indicator Optional additional BYPASS button for delayed entry from other side of door or fence Optional additional magnetic sensor for screen door exit/entry PARTS LIST S187D LIN T ZIPTIE Fig. 1 SCREW $OR ER Q'- TI.P 1=11 Alarm siren is VERY loud; NEVER place the unit close to ears.

WARNING: Read all installation and operation instructions thoroughly before proceeding with installation. Note: Not all parts included are needed for installation. Please read the different mounting instructions to see what is needed for your specific application. INSTALLING THE BATTERY.• 1. When testing, before installing the battery, use a rubber band to temporarily secure the two magnetic sensors together with the arrows pointing toward each other to avoid setting off the alarm unintentionally. During the actual installation of the alarm, it's best to install the battery after it's mounted to avoid the alarm going off unintentionally. 2. Remove the battery cover of the unit and install a new 9 Volt battery. Replace cover. (See Fig. 2) 3. If you are sensitive to loud sound, please wear ear protection against the loud alarm siren before testing the alarm. 4. Once the battery is connected, the unit is now ON and working. To test the alarm siren, make sure you have ear protection before testing. After ear protection is in place, separate the magnetic sensors Fig. 2 apart by more than 1/2 inch. The alarm should sound immediately after the sensors are separated. Press the BYPASS button and immediately secure the two magnet sensors together again to avoid the alarm sounding off unintentionally. LED LIGHT WARNINGS 1. When the battery becomes low in charge or the volume becomes weak, the LED light will illuminate. The 9 volt battery must be replaced. 2. Upon battery installation, the unit will beep once and the LED light will flash 10 times as it prepares to become armed. 3. When a bypass button is pushed, the LED light illuminates to indicate acknowledgement to PASS through. 4. After the bypass button is pushed in and released, the LED light will flash 10 times to allow pass through and to prepare the unit to become armed again. MOUNTING: WARNING: The alarm should be positioned close to the door high enough to be out of the reach of children As each mounting application varies, Techko suggests testing the units installation location and effectiveness before permanently mounting the S187D. MOUNTING INDOORS Using the provided mounting template printed in this manual, mark the position of the screw holes on the desired mounting surface. * The Additiona, delay button me be mounted on other side of the entrance. When pressed, it will delay the alarm 8-12 seconds before alarm is triggered, allowi time to secure tl door/gate. Fig. 3 * The Additional magnetic sensors allow the unit to be used on sliding door with screens. * Alarm will sound only when BOTH sets of magnetic sensors are apart, there for allowing the slider to be open while still providing protection at the screen door. MOUNTING INDOORS USING DOUBLE -SIDED TAPE Make sure that the mounting surfaces for the double -sided tapes are completely clean- Attach the double -sided tapes onto the rear of the unit, and then secure the unit onto the desired mounting surface. MOUNTING INDOORS USING SCREWS Using the provided mounting template printed in this manual, mark the position of the screw holes on the desired mounting surface. Drill the screws in to the mounting surface with approximately 1/8 inch of thread remaining- Slide the Unit over the screws and secure the unit by pushing it downward, as shown in Fig. 4. You may need to adjust the screws towards or away from the mounting surface to provide a more Fig, 4 secure fit. 2104-0174 Ff*k 9, ulw_lyf� I ii Lei NJ q F-YA a] 0 SCREW HOLE SCREW HOLE MOUNTING THE SENSORS Make sure that the arrows of each sensor are pointed towards each other. Using either the double -sided tape or the screws provided, mount the sensors so that they are less than % inch away from each other.
