Description
The BG-12LPS pull station is a non-coded, dual-action manual pull station with a key-lock reset
feature. It provides Fire•Lite control panels with two (2) normally open (N/O) alarm initiating
input signals. “Pre-signal” input is activated by pushing in, then pulling down the dual action
handle. A “General” alarm input signal can be manually activated via a momentary rocker switch
mounted inside the unit. This general alarm switch can only be accessed by opening the cover
with the supplied key/lock.
The BG-12LPS meets the ADAAG controls and operating mechanisms guidelines (section
4.1.3[13]), and the ADA requirement for a 5 lb. maximum pull force to activate the pull station.
Operating instructions are molded into the pull station handle along with Braille text. Molded
Terminal numbers are also present.
Ratings
Switch contacts (N/O) are gold plated for reliability and rated at 0.25 A at 30 volts (AC or
DC).
Installation
The BG-12LPS pull station can be surface mounted to an SB-10 or SB-I/O surface backbox
or semi-flush mounted on a standard double-gang or 4
″
(10.16 cm) square electrical box. The
optional BG-TR trim ring can be used if the BG-12LPS is to be semi-flush mounted.
Operation
To activate the dual-action pull station, push in and pull down on the handle. The word
‘ACTIVATED’ appears after the handle is pulled down. This will remain until the pull station
is reset.
The pull station includes two independently operated Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) Normally
Open (N/O) Switches for pre-signal/ general alarm applications.
Resetting the Pull Station
1. Insert the key into the lock and rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
2. Open the door until the handle returns to normal.
3. Close and lock the door.
Note:
Closing the door automatically resets the switch to the ‘Normal’ position. Opening the
door will not activate or deactivate the pre-signal toggle switch.
