FIRE. IT ALSO INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF RISING WATER IN YOUR BOAT.
TAKE THESE STEPS IF AN ALARM SOUNDS:
If the Fume Alarm Sounds:
Turn off all electrical equipment, generators; extinguish all open flames (oven, cook top, smoking materials, etc.).
Turn off the engine(s) if safe navigation conditions exist. Open the engine compartment, ports, hatches and doors and
ventilate the area. If you are ashore, evacuate the boat. Do not return until the area is ventilated and the detector has
returned to normal standby condition. Proceed with caution and locate and repair the cause of the leak. Seek a
qualified technician if necessary. Do not start or use the boat until all the necessary repairs are made.
If the Heat Alarm Sounds:
Check the engine(s) temperature. If there is smoke coming from the engine room/compartment and there is no automatic

USER'S MANUAL
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND SAVE
ATTENTION: This user's manual contains important detector installation, operation, trouble shooting
and warranty information. Read, follow, and keep this manual for future reference.
NOTE: If you install or purchase this detector for another person, give this manual to that person.

WHY EVERY BOAT NEEDS A COMBINATION DETECTOR

Every year, boating injuries and deaths can be attributed to explosions that could have been avoided. Fumes
from even a half cup of gasoline have the explosive force of six sticks of dynamite. With a boat's gas-powered or
propane-powered engines, vapors can easily develop in pumps, tanks, lines, or carburetors and cause explosions
or fires.
The SAFE-T-ALERT™ SA-10XL combination detector system is exclusively designed, tested for use in the
harsh marine environment. The unit is an early warning detector that monitors for the buildup of explosive gases,
high heat and heat from fire, and bilge for high water.

LIMITATIONS OF COMBINATION DETECTORS

Detectors will not work without power. Some reasons your detector may not have power include an open circuit
breaker, a blown or missing fuse, a broken wire or improper wire crimp connection.
The detector's loudness is designed to meet or exceed regulatory standards;
This detector may not be heard.
however, the alarm may not be heard if units are remotely located. Individuals who are hard-of-hearing, have
consumed alcoholic beverages, have taken prescription, non-prescription or illegal drugs may not hear the alarm. If
your boat has any sleeping areas, consider installing additional detectors in that area.
This detector will only indicate the presence of gasoline fumes or heat at the sensor. The sensor cannot monitor a
compartment that is separated by a bulkhead. Gasoline fumes and heat may be present in other areas.
recommends that sensors be installed in ALL compartments containing fuel tanks and/or engine(s) and compartments
where gasoline or propane fumes or heat may accumulate.
