2 Overview
2.1 Notes on the installation and operating instructions
These installation and operating instructions describe the installation and use of the
BlueFox system, the installation and use of the BlueFox Control software and the
conguration of the wrist computer.
You will nd “step-by-step” instructions in the section Using the System for the First
Time, P. 10.
You can download these installation and operating instructions from http://www.
deepbluemarine.ch/ as a PDF le. The hyperlinks, bookmarks and search function of
the PDF version allow you to quickly nd topics.
The BlueFox system is under continuous development. Pictorial and graphical exam-
ples in these installation and operating instructions may deviate from the equipment
supplied.
2.2 Operating principle
For each swimming pool user, a wrist computer is pre-programmed with a personal
alarm depth and alarm time – according to the user’s swimming ability. Program-
ming is carried out using the PC program BlueFox Control.
When the user enters the water the wrist computer automatically switches on (wa-
ter contacts).
At depths greater than the alarm depth and when the programmed alarm time ex-
7
pires, the wrist computer activates the Alarm 2. The pool sensor receives the alarm
signal and routes it to the alarm box. The siren and warning lights are activated.
