Owner’s Manual
Description
The BG-12 pull station is a non-coded, dual-action manual pull station with a
hex-lock reset feature. It provides Fire-Lite control panels with one normally
open (N/O) alarm initiating input. The BG-12 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 contact (N/O) is gold plated for reliability and rated at 0.25 A at 30
volts (AC or DC).
Installation
The BG-12 pull station can be surface mounted to an SB-10 or SB-I/O surface backbox or semi-flush mounted on a standard single-gang, double-gang or 4″ (10.16 cm) square electrical box. The optional BG-TR trim ring can be used if the BG-12 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 one Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) Normally Open
(N/O) switch which closes upon activation of the pull station.
Resetting the Pull Station
- To reset the BG-12 hex lock pull station, insert the supplied 9/64-inch hex wrench into the lock until firmly seated and turn counterclockwise 1/4-turn.
- 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 alarm switch.
