Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Sentrol, Inc. is recalling approximately 5,000 Moose brand security control panels used with smoke detectors. The control panels have warning systems that are supposed to alert consumers when components malfunction and need servicing, but on certain models these warning systems fail to sound. When the warning system does not work, consumers cannot tell if their control panel is functioning properly. The recall affects three models: up to 4,000 model Z1200 systems manufactured between January 1994 and November 9, 1995; 400 model Z1250 systems manufactured between August and November 9, 1995; and 300 model D3000 systems manufactured between December 1994 and November 9, 1995. The systems were sold through professional home protection firms and ranged in price from $189 to $359.
According to the recall notice, consumers should check the model number and date code on the inner connect label inside their main panel door to determine if their system is affected. Affected consumers should contact the company from whom they purchased the system for free repairs. Consumers can also call Sentrol at (800) 547-2556 or write to the company at 12345 S.W.
