Apex-Brand Destiny 6100 and 6100AN Security System Control Panels
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honeywell International is recalling Apex-Brand Destiny 6100 and 6100AN home security system control panels that contain XICOR-brand memory chips with date codes between K015 and K057 (indicating manufacture between the 15th and 57th day of 2007). These panels have a defective memory chip that can lose its programmed values during power outages lasting more than four hours, which could prevent the system from alerting a central monitoring station or sounding an alarm in case of fire or intrusion.
Honeywell International is directly contacting affected customers and providing replacement control panels at no cost. Consumers who believe they have an affected unit should check the date code on their product packaging to determine if their system falls within the recalled range.
