NOTIFIER fire alarm panels — 2008 firmware recall

The 2008 CPSC recall covers specific NOTIFIER firmware versions used with NFS2-640, NFS-320, and NFS-640 fire alarm control panels.

Affected versions

The CPSC notice identifies firmware version 11.2.2 for NFS2-640 and NFS-320 panels and firmware version 3.14.1 for NFS-640 panels.

Why it mattered

According to CPSC, the affected operating-system firmware could cause the panel to fail to process an alarm condition, creating a risk that building occupants would not be alerted to a fire.

Field check

Do not condemn a panel based on the model number alone. Confirm the installed firmware revision and compare it with the official recall information.

Field takeaway

Identify the exact model, firmware, and date information before deciding the equipment is affected. Document what you find and follow the official source and your company's approved impairment/replacement process.

Official source

Always verify the current manufacturer or government notice before acting.
