4) Replace battery cover with the gasket being careful to seat the cover
into the battery compartment. Tighten the cover down with the two
retaining screws. Do not over-tighten screws. Tighten enough so
the gasket is firmly and evenly compressed between the cover and
the battery housing to prevent any water from getting into the battery
compartment.

5) Return the black flotation base to the threaded stem of the upper
blue housing. As in Step 1 above note the word “BOTTOM” written
on the floatation base. Be sure the floatation base words “BOTTOM”
and the word “SENSITIVITY” with an arrow to “INCREASE” or
“DECREASE” are visible. Carefully rotate the base in a clockwise
direction on the threaded post.

6) Reset pool alarm by turning it upside down for 5 seconds.
7) To test the unit, carefully place the alarm in the pool with the float
and center post in the water. Tip the alarm so that the sensing ring
(which is towards the outer edge and under the blue housing) makes
contact with the water. When the water is in contact with the center
post and sensing ring at the same time the alarm should sound.

SENSITIVITY ADJUST
Turning the black flotation base clockwise or counterclockwise (Figure 3)
raises or lowers the sensing ring with respect to the water. The closer
the sensing ring is to the water, the more sensitive the alarm. Turn the
black flotation base gently clockwise until it 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 meets
ASTM requirements.

IMPORTANT
Be careful not to cross thread the stem with the floatation base.
The floatation base should be level with the blue housing and
turn fairly easy with just a little resistance.
