What Is Included With a Typical Pool Alarm SystemList of Parts In a Pool Alarm System: The first piece to look at in our pool alarm system is the command station. Basically a black box that takes and processes all of the information sent to it from the other components this unit is the brains of the pool alarm system. Typically you can place this unit in the pool equipment area away from the pool. Generally they can be locked as well, but usually that is not needed. Only possibly in a public pool would you really consider locking this unit up. The next component is the remote keypad. This unit communicates directly with command station and is usually found somewhere near the pool area. The keypad will let you turn the pool alarm system off and on as well as set up timers for when it will be turned off and turned on. The stand by time as can be set from this unit as well. In addition most units will display the system status here so you can know whether or not your alarm is on. Transducers are the underwater sensors that will determine whether or not something has fallen in the pool. These sensors set up a sonar net in the pool and can be though of as the eyes of the pool alarm system. Usually they are installed out of the way in the side walls of the pool and spa. A typical full size pool will require between three and four transducers depending on its size and shape. In a spa you only need a single transducer. These units communicate their information back to the command station where that information is interpreted and the proper action is taken. If the command center determines that an alarm will need to be sounded, the outdoor horn will activate. Most pool alarm systems have horns that sound at over 85 decibels so hearing them should not be a problem. In addition you can get systems that flash lights or display some other kind of signal depending on what your needs are. As you can see there are multiple components that make up a pool alarm system. Each of these work together to protect you and your loved ones from accidentally falling in the pool without anyone knowing. |
