16134 · Recalled 2016-03-31 · CPSC page

Description

This recall is for the ILI-MB-E3 and ILI-S-E3 Gamewell-FCI fire alarm panels in commercial buildings. This issue is limited to a specific configuration of Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) devices. To occur, the SLC must include at least two of the following detectors in any combination: Acclimate, 4-Warn, Photo/CO and iFAAST. The issue would occur only if the detectors are addressed within the same FlashScan polling group. Detectors installed in a different combination are not affected.

Hazards

When configured in a certain way, the panels can become non-responsive and connected detectors in the area can fail to detect and respond to an alarm.

Reported injuries

No incidents or injuries have been reported.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately contact the distributor to obtain the free repair, a firmware upgrade.
