Information about potential issue with PowerSeries Neo V1.0
Tyco Safety Products Canada Ltd. has become aware of an issue affecting Version 1.0 of certain DSC PowerSeries Neo intrusion security system keypads and control panels used in residential and small business installations.  The issue involves a potential system malfunction that can occur when a system component (motion detector, window/door sensor, smoke/carbon monoxide detector or other system component) sends a signal to a PowerSeries Neo module that becomes corrupted. It is recommended to either update the main panel to version 1.12 or newer or replace the modules with version 1.10 or newer. Firmware updates are available using DLS 5 software.
 
Such a signal can become corrupted for a number of reasons, including power surges and other electrical interference.  In such event, if there is a corrupted message generated, there is a small chance that the panel will lose communication with the connected devices and not show a local trouble.  The resulting effect is that any alarm signals sent by any security devices or smoke or carbon monoxide detectors connected to the module would not be communicated to the system alarm panel, and therefore would not be subsequently communicated to an alarm monitoring company that was monitoring the security system.  However, any smoke and carbon monoxide detectors connected to the system will remain functional locally, and will sound a local alarm if an alarm condition or event occurs.
 
As a result, Tyco Safety Products Canada Ltd. is voluntarily recalling the DSC PowerSeries Neo Security Version 1.0 intrusion security system keypads and control panels. Only version 1.0 of the keypads and control panels are affected by this. The security system keypads and control panels require professional installation and configuration.
