SEC-SA10 Smoke Alarm User’s Manual
The photoelectric smoke detector is designed to sense smoke that comes into the
detector chamber. It does not sense gas, heat, or fl ame. This smoke detector is designed
to give early warning of developing fi res by giving off the alarm sounds from its built-in
alarm horn. It can provide precious time for you and your family to escape before a fi re
spreads.

• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom.
• Install smoke detectors at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway is more than
40 feet (12 meters) long.
• Install a smoke detector inside every room where one sleeps with the door partly or
completely closed, since smoke could be blocked by the closed door and a hallway
alarm may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.
• Install basement detectors at the bottom of the basement stairwell.
• Install second-fl oor detectors at the top of the fi rst-to-second fl oor stairwell.
• Install additional detectors in your living room, dining room, family room, attic, utility and
storage rooms.
• Install smoke detectors as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not
practical, put the detector on the ceiling, no closer than 20 inches (50 cm) from any wall
or corner, as shown in Figure 3.
• If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try to mount detectors
3 feet (0.9 meter) measured horizontally from the highest point of the ceiling as shown
in Figure 4.
