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
- Insert the key into the lock and rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
- Open the door until the handle returns to normal.
- 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.
CAUTION! Do not detach the door of the pull station during installation.
The door of the pull station cannot be reattached to the backplate after the
backplate has already
been installed onto an electrical box.
CAUTION!
Install the Fire•Lite BG-12LPS pull station in accordance with these instructions, applicable NFPA standards, national and local Fire and Electrical codes and the requirements of the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction). Regular testing of the devices should be conducted in accordance with the appropriate NFPA standards. Failure to follow these directions may result in failure of the device to report an alarm condition. Fire•Lite is not responsible for devices that have been improperly installed, tested or maintained.
