Manual Test and Reset Operation of the Station
The CP-PB and the CP-BG stations have separate activation techniques for placing the internal switch into the alarm
state and resetting the stations to normal after the alarm state. Follow the instructions according to your station type.
CP-PB Stations
Activation Test
For the manual pushbutton stations, activation is accomplished by a front force directly inward towards the station
against the black pushbutton, locking the pushbutton in an alarm state. Upon doing so, the activation indicator with a
reset keyway on the front face located directly below the pushbutton will rotate approximately 60° clockwise, positioning
itself in the direction of the ALARM state away from the NORMAL standby state. Ensure that the proper switch activation
has occurred and that the associated control panel is in alarm mode for the station.

Reset Test
For the manual pushbutton stations, resetting is accomplished by rotating the activation indicator approximately 60°
counterclockwise by use of a reset keyway that is mated to the activation indicator. Upon rotating counterclockwise,
the pushbutton knob, along with the internal switch, will be released from the activated ALARM states and return to the
NORMAL standby positions as noted on the station’s front faceplate. Ensure that the proper switch deactivation has
occurred and that the associated control panel returns to normal standby mode for the station.
CP-BG Stations
Activation Test
For the manual break glass stations, activation may be accomplished by either of two means:
1.
Applying a front force directly inwards towards the station against the glass panel, which is noted with BREAK
GLASS PRESS HERE along with a corresponding target dot to apply the force to break the glass panel. A polyester
label is attached on the glass panel to protect the user from glass particles when the panel is broken. Once
broken, the unit must have the panel replaced for resetting it.
