Fire Control Panels Recalled by Bosch Security Systems Corp. Due to Alarm Failure Posing a Fire Hazard

CPSC · 12721 · published 2012-02-15

CPSC campaign 12721

Hazard

On all systems, when the alarm verification feature of the system is turned on, the control panel can fail to sound an alarm if a fire occurs. In addition, on systems with 50 or more reporting stations, a delay in sounding an alarm and reporting a fire may occur if the loop for the alarm system is broken.

Remedy

All distributors and installers are being sent two technical bulletins. One provides instructions for how to implement a software change that will correct the verification feature. The second contains instructions for how to handle warnings from affected systems with 50 or more stations. Those who have not received the bulletins should contact Bosch.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
