Update on CPSC Recall Notice

Media Contact: James.Green@Honeywell.com

Northford, Conn. - NOTIFIER has identified an issue affecting a limited number of NFS-640, NFS2-640 and NFS-320 fire alarm control panels operating with addressable beam detectors (FSB-200) that use a specific device polling protocol known as FlashScan.

Affected panels are:

• NFS2-640 and NFS-320 manufactured between May 21, 2008 and July 15, 2008 with version 011.002.002 (11.2.2) firmware
• NFS-640 manufactured between June 6, 2008 and July 15, 2008 with version 003.014.001 (3.14.1) firmware.

Systems using these versions of firmware that utilize FSB-200 beam detectors operating in FlashScan mode will not properly process an alarm condition originating from the beam detector. This may result in delayed reporting in the actual event of a fire.

Note that this issue would have been identified with all new installations during initial acceptance testing required by NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code.

This firmware was also available for download by NOTIFIER distributors from May 30, 2008 to July 21, 2008. Therefore, any previously installed and commissioned systems upgraded to these firmware versions utilizing FSB-200 beam detectors in FlashScan mode would be affected.

If your NFS-640, NFS2-640 or NFS-320 with FSB-200 beam detectors was installed or serviced on or after May 21, 2008, contact your authorized NOTIFIER distributor to confirm your panel has been upgraded to the latest firmware version. To locate an authorized NOTIFIER distributor for your area, please call 1-800-289-3473, and select option 2 for the customer service operator.

NOTIFIER is committed to the safety of our customers; therefore we are issuing this notice in full cooperation with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
