1. INSTALLING GATE SENSOR
(Figure 1)
The Poolguard Gate Alarm is activated by a sensor which consists of two parts. One
part contains the sensor switch and the other contains the sensor magnet. The sensor
switch is permanently connected to the sensing wire that comes from the Poolguard
Gate Alarm. Using the screws supplied, the sensor switch is installed on the stationary
part (usually the frame) of the fence, and the sensor magnet on the gate itself.The sensor switch should be mounted on the side near the top of the fence post (Figure 1), but
not on the side which is hinged. To function properly the sensor switch and sensor mag-
net should line up with each other, and a spacing of 2 1/2” between the sensor switch
and the sensor magnet is acceptable. If either the gate or the fence post is made of
steel this may limit the spacing between the sensor switch and sensor magnet to 1 1/4”,
test your alarm. If a spacing of 2 1/2” is needed, use 1/4” thick wood or plastic shims
under the sensor switch and sensor magnet.
