Vital Information
The CZNL-01 is easily installed on most pools with the following exception
of negative edge or infinity pools. Please read the entire installation manual
before beginning the installation of this alarm. Once read through, follow
the manual step by step to insure a quick and easy installation process.
The CZNL-01 is a pool alarm designed to detect an intrusion into an
unsupervised pool. It is not a lifesaving device and should not replace the
supervision of children around a pool by responsible adults. It is
recommended that a pool
be protected by layers of protection such as a gate, a gate alarm, pool cover,
he pool to handle an emergency.
To best avoid an emergency please follow these precautionary procedures for
etc..
Basic Pool Safety
It is imperative that if the alarm sounds that you react quickly as drowning
can occur in as little as three minutes.
Never leave children unattended near a pool.
Once installed the system should be tested weekly to insure it is in good
working order.
Layers of protection add to the security of the pool. A barrier fence should
always be used around a pool in conjunction with a gate, or door alarm,, to
alert the responsible party that an unwanted intrusion to the pool area has
occurred.
Make sure that the alarm is situated in an area where the audible alarm can
easily be heard.
Be sure to maintain a proper water level as to high or low water levels can
trigger false alarms or not detect an intrusion.
Be prepared to deal with an emergency should one occur. Have an action
plan in place and a working phone close to t
pool safety.
Always keep the pool water clean and clear. A green pool (caused by
improper maintenance) can conceal a child or individual that has fallen into
the pool and is on the bottom. If an individual sinks to the bottom of a
green pool and cannot be seen, it will delay the rescue procedure, wasting
precious seconds. This is a highly dangerous condition.
Children shall be closely monitored when in proximity of the pool.
Added supervision is required if more people or children are in the pool.
Teach your children to swim as soon as possible.
Do not allow children who cannot swim enter the pool area without a life
vest on.
Always keep the water clean and clear so all objects on the bottom of the
pool are visible.
Learn life saving techniques, especially for small children.
Do not leave toys or objects floating in an unattended pool. This is
an invitation for a child to enter an unattended pool.
Prohibit running near the pool.
Store pool chemicals out of reach of children
If water temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 Celsius the
alarm must be removed to prevent damage to the unit.

Choosing the location
The location of your alarm is critical to insure that it performs at its optimum
abilities. Below is a diagram showing the most popular pool styles and
their optimum mounting points on the pool. Decide which configuration is
closest to your pool and continue with the installation.
In configuration A the CZNL-01 is effective on pools up to 40’ x 20’ (12
x 6 meters) and should be placed at location 1. For larger pools a second
alarm should be added to location 2.
location 2 AND
be installed in pools 24 feet (8m)
In configuration B the CZNL-01 should be installed at location 1 if the
pool size is 26 feet (8M) or less. If the pool exceeds 26 feet (8M) then a
second alarm is required. In this case, install the alarms at
3.
In configuration C the CZNL-01 should
or less, at location 1. For pools larger than 24 feet, a second alarm
should be added at location 2.
In configuration D the CZNL-01 should be installed in pools if 17 feet or
less in location 1. For pools larger than 17 feet a second alarm will be
needed.
Installing the Alarm
STEP #1
Test fit the alarm (A) in the location as predetermined by the configuration
above. The alarm sensor pipe throat should be in the water as shown, and
four holes in the base, choose one hole on the left side and one on the right.
the mounting area for the base shall be level and flat. The alarm base (B)
should snap into the bottom of the main alarm body easily while allowing
the sensor throat to extend directly into the pool at a 90 degree angle as
shown in FIG 1.
STEP #2
Once the location of the base plate (B) has been determined, use a pencil to
mark two holes to be drilled into the deck to secure the alarm. There are
See Fig 2.
STEP #3
After the holes are marked, drill the two holes out using a ½ inch masonry drill.
**NOTE** TAKE GREAT CARE USING POWER TOOLS AROUND
THE POOL. BE SURE THAT NO PEOPLE ARE IN THE POOL
DURING ANY PHASE OF THE INSTALATION. REMOVE ALL
POWERTOOLS FROM THE POOL AREA AS SOON AS THAT PHASE
IS COMPLETE.** The holes need to be drilled 1 ¾ inches deep (Fig 3). The
easiest way to determine how deep to drill, measure 1 ¾ inches from the end of
the drill bit. Mark that location with a piece of tape. When drilling, stop when
the deck is level with the tape. The hole should now be 1 ¾ inches deep.
Remove all dust and debris from the holes. Remove the nuts and washers from
the mounting anchors (F), and insert the mounting anchors into the previously
drilled holes. To mount on a wood deck, use ½ inch x 1 inch lag screws with ½
inch washers (not included) screwed directly to the decking. To mount on a
metal rail, use ½ inch x 1 inch machine screws with ½ inch washers and nuts
STEP #4
Install the alarm base over the two anchors. Place the flat washer over the
anchor threads, then the lock washers. Next screw the two nuts onto the
anchors and tighten snugly using a wrench as shown in Fig 4.

STEP #5
Turn the main alarm body over so the sensor throat is pointing skywards.
Remove ALL 11 screws which secure the waterproof cover. Lift the cover
off by carefully lifting it up and away from the side opposite of the sensor
throat as shown in Fig 5. Be careful not to loose any of the screws. When
the batteries are installed, the alarm will sound and it is very loud! Be
prepared and do not drop the unit! Slide two NEW long life 9V alkaline
batteries (not included) into the battery holders as shown in Fig 6. Connect
the batteries to the battery connectors. To ease installation, place the
magnetic key over the round white embossed area on the front of the alarm
labeled KEY. At the same time, press the RED push button. The alarm will
sound in one long burst to signify that it is in swim mode. The LED
indicator located between the key area and the push button will flash red.
The alarm is on but will not sound and can be handled for 3 minu

STEP #6
Tuck all wires into the main alarm body and reinstall the waterproof cover.
Take care to slide the semicircular area at the back of the cover under the
notch in the sensor throat tube FIRST as shown in Fig 5. Be sure that the
cover is fully aligned and seated, and then replace ALL 11 SCREWS.

STEP #7
The alarm is now ready to be attached to the mounti
main alarm body into the mounting base. Use a Phillips head screw driver to
install the mounting screws (E), into the base to secure the main body to the
base as shown in Fig 7.
Step #8
The water level of the pool must be adjusted and maintained in order for the
alarm to perform properly. The sensor throat tube should stick into the water
between 3 ¼ inches to 2 inches. If the water should go far above or below
this level, the alarms effectiveness is greatly diminished. Maintain proper
water levels at all times. Never block or fill the air hole located on the back
of the alarms sensor throat. See Fig 8.
STEP #9
Mount the Remote siren no more than 100 linear feet from the base unit in an area
inside your home where it can be heard throughout the house should
the alarm sound. Turn the remote siren over and remove the Phillips head screw.
to a wall near an electrical socket. Plug the AC adapter into the wall socket. See Fig
Install one 9V long life alkaline battery. Replace cover. Plug the AC adapter (D)
into the remote siren (C). Then place it on a flat surface or use a screw to mount it
9. It will give two short sirens to show that it is functioning, and a red led will light
on the unit. If the main AC power should fail (power outage or accidental
unplugging) the siren will use battery backup, one alkaline battery can last around
100 hours. The siren will still receive a signal from the main alarm unit, and will
alarm if triggered. Strongly recommend to use AC power in daily use. If battery in
main alarm is low, the siren will deep one time each 8 seconds, you need to change
battery for main alarm. If remote siren battery low, it will constantly beep without
stop in low volume.
STEP #10
Turn the return jets from the pools filtration system down towards the
bottom of the pool. This will not effect the pool circulation; in fact it will
help conserve chemical consumption. This is required in order to maintain
the tightest security level possible using this alarm. See Fig 10. Installation
is now complete. The unit MUST be tested.

TESTING THE UNIT
To test the alarm, you can make a simple device that will simulate the size
and weight of a young child. See Fig 11 and Fig 12. The materials needed
are:
• 4 X 1.5 liter water bottles.
• Duct tape
• 6 ft of strong string
Fill the four bottles with water.
Use the duct tape to strap all 4 of the bottles together.
Tie the string tightly to one of the bottles.
the string to retrieve the bottles. Test the alarm weekly to insure maximum protection.
Using the Alarm
This pool alarm is designed to protect the pool at all times. To swim in the
pool, the key must be present. To enter swim mode, an adult must place the
magnetic key onto the faceplate area where it is marked KEY while at the
same time pressing the red button. The alarm will emit a long beep signifying that it
is now in swim mode. The LED on the faceplate will now flash red, and will
continue to flash red while it is in swim mode. The pool can now be used without the
alarm sounding. When all swimmers exit the pool and the water becomes still, the
alarm will automatically rearm itself and again in 3 minutes after surface quiet to
protect the pool. The alarm will emit a long siren announcing that it is again in active
protection mode and the green LED on the faceplate will flash. If immediate
protection is desired, wait until the water is calm, and then push the red button on the
faceplate. This will instantly rearm the alarm.
If the alarm is sounding, immediately check the pool FIRST for any unsafe
condition. If the pool is clear of danger, push the RED button to silence the alarm
and return to protection mode.
Low Battery Indicator
The alarm comes equipped with a low battery indicator. If the batteries need to be
replaced, the alarm will emit a chirp every 8 seconds. Refer to steps 5 and 6 for
battery replacement.
Winterization
When the pool is closed and covered for the winter, remove the main alarm body
from the pool and remove the batteries. Store the main alarm body indoors for the
winter months. The alarm should be removed from the pool if the air temperature
will ever drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the batteries from both the
main alarm unit and the remote siren for storage. Freezing of the pool water will
damage the alarm. Freeze damage is not covered under the warranty.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
