The wireless Gate Alarm integrates with your Base Station Alarm to signal an open gate. Neighboring children often drown in pools by gaining access through pool gates unnoticed. Terrapin Gate Alarm warns as an added layer of protection to fences and gates. Gate Alarm has a discreet 11 second delay button to allow householders entry without sounding alarm.

• Even with the most vigilant pool supervision a child can become submerged in seconds and not be missed until it's too late. This new wireless Safety Turtle gate alarm system is a must for pool owners and parents of young children. Use with, or without, the turtle wristband which locks on a child's wrist and instantly detects immersion in water then sounds a shrill alarm at the Base Station located in the house. Likewise, the gate sensor, once opened, will trigger an alarm to protect your, or a neighbour's, child from swimming pool danger. The graphic above depicts a child wearing the turtle wrist sensor for water immersion detection. If a child is not wearing the turtle wrist sensor water immersion will not be detected - only the opened gate is alarmed.


• * Note: Safety Turtle's primary purpose is to break the silence of drowning. Young children usually drown with a care giver close by. Contact with the child was lost during the seconds an immersion accident takes to unfold. Rescue, though moments away, is usually too late. The silence of drowning does not give many second chances. The goal is to break the silence of immersion accidents, to give parents that last chance. Safety Turtle has an important second mission, but only if used properly. "I'm not to go in the pool with my Turtle; only with mommy or daddy." Parents should remove the Turtle just before taking child into the pool, and put it on [and leave on] immediately when they come out The Turtle is crafted to engage a child. But parents have to follow through ... so child takes the lead ... thereby LEARNING. Many parents, particularly moms, get this instinctively. It's hard to teach, so it is not necessarily for everyone. "First we take your Turtle off ... before you go swimming with daddy. ..... Now we've dried you off, did we forget something?" The Turtle is at its best with one year olds, and autistic [and high risk] older children, i.e.,where other layers may be at their worst. One year olds have the greatest propensity to elude supervision in plain site, while older autistic children often overcome physical barriers. *****
