2.2 Operating principle "Active mode"
Pool monitoring during bathing hours
For pool monitoring during bathing hours the active mode must be
activated. (For how to activate, see page 18).
For each swimming pool user, a monitoring bracelet is pre-programmed with a
personal alarm depth and alarm time – according to the user’s swimming ability.
Programming is carried out using the PC program BlueFox Control (see Program-
ming the alarm depth and time, P. 34).
When the user enters the water the monitoring bracelet automatically switches on
(water contacts).
Course of events when an alarm sounds
At depths greater than the alarm depth and when the programmed alarm time
expires, the monitoring bracelet activates the Alarm 2. The pool sensor receives
the alarm signal and routes it to the alarm box. The following alarms are triggered:
Warning lights and sirens, STD PRO radio alarm.
Warning!
Risk of drowning! Initiate rescue immediately alarm sounds.

If no button is pressed, all alarms will be cancelled 10 seconds after the monitoring
bracelet is taken out of the water.
All alarms are cancelled 6 minutes at the latest after the alarm was activated.
2.3 Operating principle "passive mode"
Pool monitoring outside normal bathing hours
For monitoring the pool outside normal bathing hours the “passive mode”
must be activated. (For how to activate, see page 19).
If the pool sensor registers activity in the pool (e.g. a person or object falling into
the water) the following alarms are triggered. Warning lights and sirens, STD
PRO radio alarm see page 30.
The passive mode LED next to the padlock symbol ashes.
Warning!
Risk of drowning! Initiate rescue immediately alarm sounds.
Warning!
Risk of drowning because the BlueFox system is not monitoring the pool.
If an alarm sounds and/or the passive mode LED is ashing BlueFox is not
monitoring the pool. The pool must be monitored by a person.
The alarm can be deactivated by pressing any button on the alarm box.
If no button is pressed, the alarm will be cancelled 6 minutes after the alarm was
activated.
As soon as the waves have subsided (after approx. 12 minutes), the passive mode
LED will illuminate permanently. Passive mode monitoring is activated once again.
2.4 Intended use
The BlueFox system has been designed for use in private and public swimming pools
(indoor and outdoor swimming pools). The alarm box enclosure is resistant to light
water splashes (IP65). For outdoor installations the alarm box must be covered and
protected from direct sunlight.
