02525 · Recalled 2002-03-13 · CPSC page
Description
The repair includes all ZX400, ZX410 and ZX440F security control panels experiencing "MEMORY ERROR" or "NO COM FROM CONTROL" errors and all ZX300 and ZX310 security control panels that are being monitored. The control panels are used mainly to guard against burglary but can be linked to smoke and fire alarms. The brand name "Moose" is printed on the front of the keypad.
Hazards
The systems can fail to communicate with the central station that should receive the distress signal, which then would fail to alert the fire department, police department, or ambulance service. This poses a safety risk to consumers.
Reported injuries
CPSC and GE Interlogix are not aware of any incidents involving these security control panels. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of incidents or injuries.
Remedy
Consumers with these security control panels should contact their service dealers immediately to arrange for an inspection and repair. Meanwhile, in the event of an emergency, consumers should not rely on their security systems to contact emergency personnel.
