Product Description

Pool Patrol PA-30 Pool Alarm

The POOL PATROL Alarm is intended to be an additional layer of security to protect your loved ones. The POOL PATROL Alarm is not intended as a life saving device and is not intended to replace any other safety considerations such as: adult supervision, lifeguards, fences, gates, pool covers, locks, etc. The POOL PATROL Alarm may not detect gradual entry into the pool.

This model has a transmitter and receiver. It is intended to alert you at the pool of any intrusion and will transmit to a receiver located nearby.

The PA-30 is ASTM F-2208-08(2019) compliant.

Sensitivity Adustment

Turning the black flotation base clockwise or counterclockwise raises or lowers the sensing ring with respect to the water. stops. Do not force it. This is the most sensitive position and the position that was used to pass ASTM testing. Moving the float from this position will no longer meet ASTM requirements The closer the sensing ring is to the water, the more sensitive the alarm. Turn the black flotation base gently clockwise until it.

Sensitivity Marks

Sensitivity Marks

The “Sensitivity Marks” can be used as a general indicator for the sensitivity position. Should the sensitivity need to be adjusted start making adjustments by turning the float only a ¼ turn at a time. Test the alarm after each adjustment. We do not recommend turning the float out more than three full turns.

Receiver

RECEIVER

Your receiver works with the pool alarm allowing you to monitor your pool from within your house. When the floating alarm is activated it sends a signal to activate the receiver.

Transmission Modes

The receiver has two modes of operation: Serial Number mode (SN mode) and ID mode. When the receiver is in SN mode it will accept the transmission of any Pool Patrol transmitter (this is the default setting). The serial number is common to all transmitters. When the receiver is in ID mode it will accept the serial number plus the ID number of the transmission. The ID number is unique to each transmitter.

RECEIVER PLACEMENT

It is best to place the receiver next to a window or wood door adjacent to the pool with-in 200 feet from the transmitter. Do not place the receiver near steel walls, cabinets, on or alongside an electrical appliance, such as a computer, or on a metal surface as this may affect signal reception. The pool alarm will not transmit its signal through the ground.

    5 Stars
    Peace of mind!
    Sensitivity can be easily adjusted by turning top (blue) disc. I had read a lot about problems with the sensitivity but I have not run into that at all. I basically said it so that I could cause the alarm to go off by slapping the water but when the cats or dogs try to drink out of the pool or I move the water gently it will not go off. There are little lines on the black bass that allow you to see where you’re at as far as more or less sensitivity. I think I have mine with a little more sensitivity than the middle marker. I am very happy with this product and would highly recommend it that’s far ( I have only had it a couple weeks). Product will alarm in the house and outside of the house which is perfect! When pool alarm is set off, you have to go inside and turn off the inside alarm as well to reset. To reset the pool alarm/disk in water. You simply pick it up. Shake excess water off. Turn it upside down for five seconds. Wait for water to settle a little bit and gently set it back in the pool . The alarm is loud enough to get your attention, and if you have neighbors close by theirs as well haha!Also… the directions say not to use with a floating chlorine dispenser. I decided that I would leave the chlorine dispenser in and several days went by with no problem, but it was raining today and the chlorine dispenser got under the lip of the pool alarm and set it off.

    Je suis mitigé, le produit semble être un bon produit mais avec une lacune importante...

    Voilà, nous venons d’acquérir un « Pool Patrol PA-30 » comme système d’alarme pour mettre dans notre piscine car nous avons 3 petits enfants en bas âge. Quand j’ai reçu le colis quel ne fut pas ma déception de ne pas avoir le manuel d’instructions en français car vous conviendrez que c’est très important de comprendre comment bien utiliser le produit et cela même si je comprend bien l'anglais lorsque je l'entends, je trouve que les explications techniques sont plus facile quand c'est votre langue d'origine. Trouvant cette lacune trop important, j'ai décidé de traduire le manuel en français car si on doit le configurer à chaque saison, en vieillissant, on se rappelle pas toujours les instructions...

    In english:

    I have mixed feeling, the product seems to be a good product but with a major shortcoming...

    We have just acquired a "Pool Patrol PA-30" as an alarm system to put in our swimming pool because we have 3 young grandchildren. When I received the package I was very disappointed not to have the instruction manual in French because you will agree that it is very important to understand how well to use the product. Even if I understand English well when I hear it, I find that technical explanations are easier when it's in your native language. Finding this gap too important, I decided to translate the manual into French because if you have to setup the alarm at each season, as you get older, you don't always remember the instructions...
