IF MIRRORS WERE INSTALLED…

If Mirrors were installed in either or both Beam Paths,

those mirrors must be adjusted to "bounce" the laser

beam onward to a Reflector.

1. Refer to pages 15 - 19 for installation details on

adding the Swivel Mount for the Reflector. The

mounting may be a Mounting Post in a Mounting

Base or directly into a hole in the ground; or by

attaching a Swivel Mount

2. After completing the installation of the final

Reflectors, the Mirrors must be adjusted to

cause the Laser Spot to appear in the center of

the Reflector. Be gentle - a small movement of

the Mirror will cause the laser beam to swing

over a wide arc.

COMPLETING THE

INSTALLATION

1. If desired, the Mounting Posts may be cut to

remove some of the excess.

It is recommended that at least 12 inches (.30

meter) be left above the beam path to allow for

future adjustment.

The Posts are easily cut with a hacksaw or fine-

toothed wood saw.

2. Install a Mounting Post Cap onto the top of each

Mounting Post to cover the cut edge and to

prevent water from collecting in the Post.

3. Realign each Post-mounted Mirror or Reflector

so that the Laser Spot is in the approximate

center of each Mirror or Reflector.

TIME FOR A QUICK SURVEY OF THE SYSTEM

t this point the Transceiver and any wall mounted Swivel Mounts have been permanently mounted

and all of the Mirror/Reflector Mounting Posts have been temporarily installed. A Laser Spot should be

visible in the approximate center of each Mirror and Reflector in the system.

Now is a good time to pause in the installation process to look for any potential problem areas in the

system. Try to visualize the changes that might take place in the future – will some plants grow to

interfere with the beam path? Will an unnoticed door or gate open into the beam path? Will excessive

single stream garden or lawn sprinklers interfere with the system?

IIf all is well, it is time to complete the installation…

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION OF EACH MOUNTING POST NOTE: START AT THE FIRST POST IN EACH BEAM PATH AND WORK OUTWARD TOWARD THE REFLECTOR. WORK ON ONE MOUNTING POST AT A TIME, REALIGNING THE LASER DOT ON EACH MIRROR OR REFLECTOR BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT POST. 1. If the Mounting Post is inserted into a hole in the ground, follow the procedures described on page 10 for adding concrete to the hole. 2.

2. All of the other switches should remain at their factory settings, except for switch #3 which may have been moved UPWARD to select single laser operation. - OR BOTH Lasers RIGHT Laser STEP 2 – ACTIVATING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER The Remote Controller provided with the Prevent system is a low-power, single channel, radio frequency transmitter. It is intended to be used within the immediate pool area by a supervising individual.

STEP 4 - TRANSMITTING THE START SIGNAL At this point a single click of the Remote Controller will send a special START signal to the system. The following sequence of events will take place: • The lasers will turn OFF • The alarm will CHIRP for 15 SECONDS • The lasers will turn ON BE PREPARED The system will then be fully operational. The alarm will sound any time the beam path is broken. The alarm is VERY LOUD, and may startle nearby persons who may not be expecting the intensity of the sound.
