The text below is quoted from the CPSC notice word for word.
- What was recalled
- 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.
- The hazard
- 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.
- Injuries
- No incidents or injuries have been reported.
- The remedy
- Consumers should immediately contact the distributor to obtain the free repair, a firmware upgrade.
