POOLGUARD may not function properly If your pools water level is not maintained within the required levels of your alarm.
Also, the unit may not operate effectively while certain Was of automatic pool cleaners are in operation.
Some irregular shaped decks may not provide a level foundation for the
unit by the pool's edge. This minor problem can be overcome by
appropriately supporting the unit, (See Figure 3).
STABILIZING YOUR POOL ALARM
The Alarm Stabilizing Pin (ASP) is factory installed onto your pool alarm.
Tools needed to install your alarm are: One 5/16" masonry drill bit that can
be found at your local hardware store, a drill, a pencil, a tape measure or yard
stick.
1. Position your pool alarm so that the sensing throat is in the water and
the ASP is touching the deck, (leave a small space no more than 3/8" between
the sensing throat and the top edge of your deck or coping), (See Figure 4).
2. Mark with a pencil the spot where you wish to drill the hole for the ASP.
3. With the 5/16" masonry drill bit, drill a hole 2 1/4" inches deep, as
straight as possible.
(Cont. on next page)
STABILIZING YOURPOOL ALARM (CAtinued)
4. Clean off the debris and install the alarm by placing the ASP into the
5/16" diameter by 2 1/4' deep hole.
5. Your Pool Alarm is now ready for use. If you have any questions or need
help with installation, please give us a call at 1-800-242-7163.
6. Be sure to keep your ASP hole clean from debris and dirt so that your
alarm will always lay flat on the pool deck when installed.

TEST BEFORE USING
To ensure effectiveness, test POOLGUARD every time you place it into the
pool by performing the following procedure:
•POOLGUARD DOES. NOT HAVE AN ON/OFF SWITCH
When the alarm is in the pool it is always in the ON position and
cannot be turned off. When the alarm is out of the pool it is always
in the OFF position.
•To test your alarm push an object of appropriate volume and weight oft
the deck edge at the farthest location from the alarm. (A four (4) gallon
jug of water or 3-one (1) gallon jugs of water tied together are ideal for
testing.) The alarm should sound when the water action caused by the
intrusion reaches the unit. It may take a few seconds for the alarm to
react to the water action.
(Cont. on next page)
TEST BEFORE USING (continued)
*After resetting the alarm and allowing time for the water action to settle,
repeat the procedure from another point in the pool until you are
confident of detection performance.
•POOLGUARD includes a timer function which automatically resets
the unit after the alarm has sounded for approximately 5 minutes.
ADJUSTING YOUR RETURN LINE FITTINGS
The POOLGUARD alarm should not be placed too close to a return line,
also do not place POOLGUARD in a location in the pool where a return
line is pointing in the alarms direction. Water turbulence may be too strong,
falsely setting the alarm off or the water turbulence may interfere with the
alarms ability to detect an intrusion. If you have more than 2 return lines
please call customer service at 1-800-242-7163. It is very important in pools
to adjust all the eyeball fittings on your return lines so that the water flow
will not interfere with your pool alarm. Point all the eyeball fittings down
and your pool will still circulate properly and this will allow POOLGUARD
to function properly, (See Fgure 5). Pointing the eyeball fittings down also
helps prevent algae growth.

C.O.R.R.ECT INCORRECT
POOLGUARD REMOTE RECEIVER
The POOLGUARD REMOTE RECEIVER has been integrated with the
standard POOLGUARD unit to provide a wireless remote alert operating at
distances of up to 200 feet. The POOLGUARD REMOTE RECEIVER
sounds an alarm in the house when the POOLGUARD unit is activated at
the pool.The remote system consists of the following functional elements:
• A coded pulse receiver (Remote Receiver), (See Figure 6).
• A standard wall outlet power supply, (See Figure 6).
The REMOTE RECEIVER is a compact unit powered by a UL and CSA
approved AC/DC power supply. The REMOTE RECEIVER can be placed
on a table or a counter top inside the house. The pulse coded radio
frequency signal is transmitted from the pool unit and is received and
decoded to sound the remote receiver. The remote receiver will sound
for an additional 3 seconds after the pool unit has.'been silenced. If
the REMOTE RECEIVER beeps once approximately every 10 seconds,
it is indicating that the 9v battery in the pool unit is low and needs to
be replaced. After you have purchased your POOLGUARD alarm and you
wish to add another remote receiver to your alarm systern you can acquire
one from PBM Industries, Inc. Contact PBM by phone or mail or contact
your place of purchase.

TO OPERATE YOUR REMOTE RECEIVER
Try to locate your REMOTE RECEIVER in a convenient part of your house
close to the pool. Avoid steel walls or any other large metal objects or
obstructions that might interfere with the signal reception. The REMOTE
RECEIVER has to be placed on the same level or a level above the pool in
the house (do not place receiver in an underground basement). The ideal
location for your REMOTE, RECEIVER would be by a window overlooking
your pool. Test your REMOTE RECEIVER in different locations in your
house to find the best working place for your receiver. Connect the power
supply to any 120V, electrical outlet and insert the jack into the receiver.
Check that indicator light is on. Your REMOTE RECEIVER unit is now
ready to receive a transmission from your POOLGUARD unit. DO NOT
USE YOUR REMOTE RECEIVER OUTDOORS.

FALSE ALARMS
Power Supply .
Remote Receiver
All pool alarms will false. alarm on occasion for different reasons. False
alarms can be minimized; however, it is important to remember that a false
alarm is better than no alarm at all. WEATHER & WIND—POOLGUARD
sets stationary on the deck of the pool so the wind will not effect the alarm
unit itself. Wind may trigger a false alarm if it is strong enough or steady
enough that it causes the water in the pool to rock or bounce up and
down the pool wall. When the water in the pool moves up and down the
POOLGUARD sensing throat, it may finally cause the alarm to sound.
On extremely windy days when the pool water is rocking it is advised to
remove the POOLGUARD from the pool. Light wind or rain will not effect
the POOLGUARD alarm.
Another false alarm occurs when the pool owner tries to install the alarm
too soon after swimming. After swimming, the water in the pool will rock or
bounce up and down the pool wall for some time depending on the size of
the pool and the type of swimming activity. Before installing the alarm,
after swimming, the pool must be given time to calm. Time will vary
(around 10 to 30 minutes); once the pool owner sees that the pool water is
no longer rocking up and down the pool wall, it is time to install the alarm.
Certain automatic cleaners may set the POOLGUARD unit off in some cases.
If the cleaner head hits the POOLGUARD alarm it may cause it to false alarm.
Solutions to this problem are to use your cleaner at night and your alarm
during the day. Another option would be to find a place around the pool
where the cleaner does not interfere with the alarm. Certain water features
such as waterfalls can cause POOLGUARD to false alarm. To avoid this
probtem-domotin-stall-the POOLGUARD-alarm-ton close-to-the-waterleature.
If you are having a problem with any type of water feature call POOLGUARD
at 1-800-242-7163.
ALARM PLACEMENT
The alarm should be on a flat, solid surface for best results. The throat'
of the unit is designed to work in most pools with an in -wall skimmer. The
water level up on the throat is important and should be checked. The
sensing throat cannot be less than 2.5 inches in the water, and not more
than 5.5 inches into the water. POOLGUARD recommends that the sensing
throat be approximately 4 inches in the water. POOLGUARD can be used
with a solar cover; however, before removing the cover, the alarm should
'be taken out so itdoes� not get -pulled into the pool.
ALARM TESTING
Drop something of approximate size, weight and volume of the families
smallest child, the farthest point away from the alarm. A four (4) gallon jug
of water or 8 one (1) gallon jugs of water tied together are ideal for testing.
Remember, when testing you must wait about 15 minutes between
tests for the pool to calm.
ALARM WILL NOT SOUND
CHECK THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE 9V BATTERY AND THE
BATTERY SNAP. If you are testing and POOLGUARD does not alarm, be sure
you are testing properly — putting your feet in the .pool, splashing with your hands,
making waves with a leaf skimmer, or dropping something into the pool that does
not have the proper size, weight and volume will not set the POOLGUARD
alarm off! Testing is very important and should be done correctly.
ALARM HANDLING
The POOLGUARD pool unit is an electronic and mechanical device made
from a sturdy UV rated PVC material. Do not drop POOLGUARD; like any
other appliance, it may break. The POOLGUARD pool unit is water resistant
but not waterproof (sun and rain will not hurt the pool unit). Great care
should be taken not to let the pool unit fall into the pool. If the pool unit does
fall into the pool there are. directions on page 2 in this manual on how to dry
it out. Always remember to remove the alarm before using your pool.
REMOTE REGLIVER
When the unit at the pool alarms, the remote receiver will sound.
Maximum Range for theremote is 200 feet from the poolside unit.
Avoid placing remote in basements or close to metal walls. Be sure that
the red light on the remote is on. Remember the poolside unit must be
beeping (alarming) for the remote to work.
if your remote receiver is not getting a clear signal or no signal from the
poolside unit,'try the following: Before plugging in the power supply, be
sure to stretch out the cord; do not leave it tied in a bow as packaged.
Your Remote Receiver is similar to a small portable radio. If your remote
is not sounding when the poolside unit is sounding —move the remote
to different locations and stand back for a few seconds for the remote
to pick up the signal. You may only have to move your remote a little
to the left or right to bring in the signal —in some cases you might have
to move the remote to a different location or another room. If you cannot
get a signal on your remote receiver CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT
1-800-242-7163

are met.
1. 1.5" pipe must be installed through the bond beam with a minimum
length of 14", followed by I" conduit with sweeps only without 90
degree elbows. It is highly recomended to use 1.5" pipe throughout the
entire width of the bond beam.
NOTE: Gaskets help ensure
that conduit is not a potential
teak path. For vinyl wall fittings
use both rubber gaskets. For 1 �.
gunile and fiberglass remove - — ^?
the small gasket and use the
large one only.

Jandy® Pro Series Nicheless LED Lights
NOTE: Always consider the cable length when calculating the input
voltage at the transformer. The maximum run of service between
transformer and lights should not exceed 15011. in length, inclusive
of the use of J Box or not.
To the extent allowed by local installation codes in effect in the installation
jurisdiction and capacity of the electrical equipment, multiple Jandy Pro
Series lights may be controlled with a single switch and transformer so
their colors may be synchronized.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All fixtures must be tied into the same transformer,
circuit or switch for synchronization to occur. The use of Solid Core over
Stranded wire and terminating Bus Bars is strongly recomencied.
3.1 Wiring to an AquaLink® Controller
The Jandy Pro Series Nicheless LED Lights can be controlled by an
AquaLink controller. Connect the transformer powering the lights to one
of the auxiliary relays in the AquaLink.
Refer to Figure 4 to connect the Jandy Pro Series Nicheless LED Lights to

Section 4. Jandy® Pro Series Nicheless
Underwater LED Light Operating Instructions
4.1 Light Synchronization
NOTE This section only applies to the color (RGBW) lights. All fixtures
must be tied into the same transformer, circuit or switch for
synchronization to occur.
1. Turn the light ON. If the light has been off for 7 seconds or longer, the
light will turn on at the last color selected.
2. To synchronize multiple lights to the same color mode, you will need to
reset to the beginning of the color mode sequence. With the lights ON,
turn them OFF for five (5) seconds, then turn ON again. All of the lights
will reset to the Alpine White color mode. If all of the lights are not in
the Alpine White color mode, they have not been synchronized, repeat
step 2.
Nicheless Underwater LED Lights I Owner's Manual Page 11
4.2 Operating the Light
3. To change the color mode, turn the light OFF for one 1-3 seconds.
Continue turning OFF and ON until the desired light color mode is
reached. See Table 1 for the color mode sequence.
Example: If you followed step 3 and are now on Sky Blue and want the lights to
be Violet, then the lights must be turned off and on 7 seven times to bring you to
Violet.

4. The lights have memory. If the lights are off for 7 seconds or more,
the next time the lights are turned on, they will return to the last color
mode they were on prior to being turned off (Step 1 listed above). This
function allows you to keep your lights returning to your favorite color
mode every time the lights are turned back on.
NOTE To synchronize colors on multiple Jandy® Pro Series Nicheless
Underwater LED Light systems wired to separate switches,
perform the above actions on all of their switches simultaneously.
All Jandy Pro Series Nicheless Underwater LED Lights will
synchronize automatically if activated by the same switch. No
other accessories are required.

Section 5. Designer Lens Options
The Designer Lenses offer a unique set of
options for the LED Series of lights. Each
one has the ability to create unique lighting
effects within the pool's interior. See the
list below to learn more about the designer
lens options.
HALF DOME - This escutcheon adds over the existing lens to allow you to
direct 1/2 the light in a direction you want. Downwards -to light a pools
interior without light shining upwards. Upwards to light a water feature
or sideways to put light where it might be needed but no where else
HALO LENS - This lens allows for gentle lighting in an area but knocks
down the center beam. This allows for installation on walls, etc. where
there might be an opposite wall, etc. where you want to eliminate
generating a "hot" spot. Great general lighting but softly.
SPOT LENS - Just the opposite of the Halo. Concentrates the light and
reduces the output at wider beam angles in order to produce a spot -light
effect. Great for illuminating that special feature.
CATS EYE - This lens reduces the light to just a "slice" of light that is broad
but thin. An incredible effect for illuminating but without spilling light
all over.
DIAMOND - WOW want to really create something special? The Diamond
lens creates incredible points of light throughout the interior. The
points will be different the farther away from the light they are. Put the
LED colored light on DISCO TECH MODE AND WATCH THE FUN
BEGIN!
