I’m new here and don’t have much experience in FA systems. At my current job I do building condition assessments. I have been scouring the internet trying to find a list of discontinued and unsupported FACP’s. Does any such site exist?
I don’t believe there is such a site or list, however I know the introduction & discontinuation years of quite a few panels (though whether any of them are still supported or not I have no idea). Here they are:

Thorn/Autocall TFX series is also obsolete
At this point aren’t virtually all Thorn & Autocall (non-JCI) panels obsolete given they technically no longer exist? (sure, Thorn’s part of Kidde & Autocall’s a brand name of JCI’s, but the former is no longer used as a brand name & the latter is not the same as the original company)
Thank you this is really helpful!!
4100 classic was actually phased out in 1993-94 when the + came out.
I don’t think I was able to find an exact discontinuation date for the 4100 Classic anywhere so that’s why I put “unknown”. Thank you though: I can now put that as the definitive discontinuation date.
