3 Quick Start Guide

INSTALLATION

•Insert the batteries in your fall detector. (cf. §5.1)

•Position the rigid tube.

•Put in place your detection device on the edge of your pool at the proper place being careful

about the immersion depth of the tube: 8,5 in (+/- 1 in). Cut the rigid tube at the proper length

if necessary. (cf. §5.2)

•Perform a fall test : Simulate somebody falling into the pool by dropping a 2.5 US gallons jerry

can full of water (in order to weight 18 lbs) off the edge of the pool – the siren must sound a

maximum of 20 seconds after the fall. (cf. §5.3)

•Stop the siren by entering your password (Initially 1234).

•Wait for the reset of the product in “ALARM” mode during 20mn max. (The LED starts to

blink in green).

•Immobilize the TRITON

alongside the edge of the pool with the supplied fixation kit. Your

device is now operational. (cf. §5.4)

4 Operating principle

How TRITON™ Works?

TRITON™ detects and analyses disturbances. It was designed to detect any fall of an 18+ lbs child

into your swimming-pool in the following conditions. It alerts you by triggering the powerful siren after a

few seconds.

For your security and convenience, the device has three major modes:

-« DETECTION »

MODE

oTRITON™ monitors the pool and the LED : blinks in green quickly.

oThe siren emits a 85+ dB signal at 10 feet when triggered by the fall of a 18+ lbs body in the

pool.

oThe device defaults to this mode when you switch it on.

-« I

NACTIVE DETECTION

MODE

oTRITON™ doesn’t monitor the pool and the LED : blinks in red quickly.

oThe alarm won’t trigger even if something or someone falls into the pool

oSelect this mode using the password (initially 1234) to deactivate the siren before using the

pool.

oThe device defaults to this mode when you insert the batteries

oWarning: the device leaves this mode 1 minute and 30 seconds after the pool becomes totally

still. Then, it goes back to “DETECTION” mode. (Be patient, because this can take more than

10 minutes to happen).

NEVER LEAVE THE POOL UNATTENDED IN THIS MODE.

oIn case of high winds, the device can’t monitor the pool and could switch automatically to

« INACTIVE DETECTION » mode.

-« R

EACTIVATION DETECTION

MODE

oTRITON™ monitors partially the pool and the LED : blinks alternately in red and in

green quickly.

oThe alarm can trigger if something or someone falls into the pool, but the performances required

by ASTM standard F2208e1 are not guaranteed.

oThis mode occurs when a manual activation of the system is required (cf. above) but that the

pool is still agitated, just after swimming for instance or just after something or someone fell into

the pool.

oThe system will switch automatically to DETECTION MODE after the pool becomes totally

motionless.

oThe device defaults to this mode when you insert the batteries.

NEVER LEAVE THE POOL UNATTENDED IN THIS MODE.

-« OFF »

MODE

oTRITON™ won’t monitor the pool. All the LEDs are OFF.

oNone of the accidental falls will be detected.

oYou can switch to this mode to change the batteries or to maintain the pool.

oWarning: there is no automatic switching into « DETECTION » mode.

Installation and user guide- 6

NEVER LEAVE THE POOL UNATTENDED IN THIS MODE.

To reduce your reaction time, TRITON™ includes a remote alarm system with a radio receiver

which can be set up near your living room (or other convenient location). This will also sound a siren in

case of fall in the pool. (Cf. §6)

5 TRITON™ installation

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

•Check that the sirens are audible from inside your house.

•Your falling detector should be installed during a clear day and on a still pool.

•The alarm system should be installed in a place where the water depth is at least 12 in.

•The probe (rigid tube + flexible hose) should potentially be cut to have an immersion depth

of 8.5 in (+/-1 in). It’s advised to install a water level regulator. Please ask advice at your

local seller.

•Please make sure that your pool water is clear and clean before installing your new device.

•Few cleaning robots (for instance “diving” ones) are incompatible with falling detector

systems.

•The proper performance of TRITON™ is not correctly achieved if used in parallel with

tarpaulins.

•WARNING: TRITON™ is kitted up with a powerful siren (more than 100dB). Please be careful

and pay attention to your auditory system during the installation in case of triggering.

Necessary tools for the installation:

1 cross-shaping screwdriver.

1 tape measure.

1 2.5 US gal. jerry can.

1 6ft rope

1 Ø 0,31 in (8mm) concrete drill and the associate driller

1 hacksaw

1 pen

The installation of your falling detector happens in 6 steps:

5.1 – Replacing the Batteries

5.2 -- location choice

5.3 -- Temporary installation

5.4 -- Installation tests

5.5 -- Final installation

5.6 -- Validation tests

Installation and user guide- 10

5.1 Placing the Batteries

CAUTION! The flexible hose and the main unit are fitted together, please handle with care.

-Remove the cover. IMAGE 1

-Return the cover and look at the batteries location.

-Insert the 4 LR20 batteries in their proper slot, respecting their polarities. IMAGE 2

- You can see the LED : (blinks in green). Your device is in “DETECTION” mode.

-Put back the cover on the base and hold down - without screwing down the screws - while

inserting the black hose in the rigid tube. IMAGE 3 et 4

5.2 Location choice

Before starting to install your device, please ensure choosing the most suitable location, by

following the guidelines thereby:

-- Avoid setting up your device on the edge of your pool before checking the proper position which will

allow the best monitoring place.

-- When choosing the proper detection place for the device, you should ensure that the siren is audible

from the inside of your house.

Your falling detector should be placed in the middle of the largest length on a brink

(recommended position for rectangular shaped pool). If your pool doesn’t fit any of the configurations

below, please ask for advice at your reseller.

Check that the access to the command keyboard is convenient and easy.

Please take the necessary precautions to ensure that the TRITON™ is at more than a

meter away from the filtration system (pushback noses, sluice gate, skimmer, and

vacuum cleaner plug), waterfall or any equipment which can locally commove the pool.

Your falling detector can be used on pools measuring 20x40 feet (6 x 12 m) maximum,

and it should not be at more than 28 feet (8.5m) from all the potential falling points.

For a swimming-pool with bigger dimensions or with a particular shape, please ask for

advices at your reseller.
