FIre-LITe BG-12LPSP Manual Pull Station Owner’s Manual
Description
The BG-12LPSP pull station is a non-coded, dual-action manual pull station with a key-lock reset feature, and dual language (Spanish/English) labeling and operating instructions. It provides Fire•Lite control panels with two (2) normally open (N/O) alarm initiating input signals. “Presignal” 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 mountedinside the unit. This general alarm switch can only be accessed by opening the cover with the supplied key/lock.
The BG-12LPSP 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 pullstation. Molded Terminal numbers are also present.
