What happened

Smoke sensors in certain SimplexGrinnell, ADT, and Ansul fire detection systems installed in commercial buildings since August 2004 may experience reduced sensitivity to smoke when exposed to high humidity and high temperature conditions. This reduced sensitivity could delay the detection of smoke during a fire. The affected sensor model numbers are: 4098-9714, 4098-9755, 4098-9757CA, 4098-9714C, 4098-9755C, 430631, 4098-9714EA, 4098-9755EA, 430634, 4098-9754, 4098-9756, 430654, 4098-9754C, 4098-9756C, 430719, 4098-9754EA, 4098-9757, and 431190.

Commercial building owners and managers with these sensors will be contacted directly by one of the distributors to verify whether their system is included in the recall and to arrange for a free software upgrade.
