Recall of Gems 3100 Pressure Transducers used in fire pump controllers due to potential failure causing sprinkler system inactivation during fires. Affected units have part numbers starting with 3100.
The transducer can fail to accurately detect water pressure in a fire suppression sprinkler system. This could cause the sprinkler system to fail to activate and pump water to the sprinklers in the event of a fire.
Gems Sensors is recalling 3100 Pressure Transducers used in fire pump controllers because they might fail to detect water pressure during a fire, causing sprinklers to not activate. This could lead to inadequate fire suppression in homes or buildings.
The transducer might fail to accurately measure water pressure during a fire. If this happens, the fire pump controller could stop working, preventing sprinklers from activating and delivering water to fight fires.
Homeowners and building owners using fire sprinkler systems with Gems 3100 Pressure Transducers are most at risk. End-users in other applications with similar transducers should check if their units are affected.
