CPSC, Fire-Lite Alarms Announce Recall of Power Supply for Alarm Systems
PRODUCT: Alarm System Power Supply - Fire-Lite Alarms, Inc. of
Northford, Conn., is voluntarily recalling about 2600 power supplies
used with building alarm systems. They are used with notification
appliance circuits that provide an audible, visual, or audio-visual
combination notification to building occupants in the event of a fire.
The recalled power supplies were sold nationwide from September 2001
through November 2002 under the Fire-Lite and Notifier brand names for
$480 to $530. Only power supplies with a date code of 4602 or lower are
included in this recall.
PROBLEM: Fire-Lite models FCPS-24FS6 and FCPS-24FS8, and Notifier models
FCPS-24S6 and FCPS-24S8 can have incomplete solder connections. The
Notifier model ACPS-2406 can have an improper circuit response with low
input voltage. Both of these conditions may result in a building alarm
system not functioning properly.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES: No incidents have been reported.
WHAT TO DO: Building owners and maintenance personnel with Fire-Lite or
Notifier power supplies should contact the Customer Service and
Technical Support Center at (203) 484-7161 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET
