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.

The Safe Pool can provide valuable protection when
used correctly. However, it cannot guarantee complete
protection against accidents or injuries. Therefore,
Techko cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage,
or injury that may occur.
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.
