NBG-12 Series Non-Coded Conventional Manual Fire Alarm Pull Stations

Conventional Initiating Devices
General
The NOTIFIER NBG-12 Series is a cost-effective, feature-packed series of non-coded manual fire alarm pull stations. It was designed to meet multiple applications with the installer and end-user in mind. The NBG-12 Series features a variety of mod-els including single- and dual-action versions.
The NBG-12 Series provides an alarm initiating input signal to conventional fire alarm control panels (FACPs) such as the SFP Series, and to XP Transponders. Its innovative design, durable construction, and multiple mounting options make the NBG-12 Series simple to install, maintain, and operate.

Features

• Aesthetically pleasing, highly visible design and color.
• Attractive contoured shape and light textured finish.
• Meets ADA 5 lb. maximum pull-force.
• Meets UL 38, Standard for Manually Actuated Signaling Boxes.
• Easily operated (single- or dual-action, model dependent), yet designed to prevent false alarms when bumped, shaken, or jarred.
• PUSH IN/PULL DOWN handle latches in the down position to clearly indicate the station has been operated.
• The word “ACTIVATED” appears on top of the handle in bright yellow, further indicating operation of the station.
• Operation handle features white arrows showing basic opera-tion direction for non-English-speaking persons.
• Braille text included on finger-hold area of operation handle and across top of handle.
• Multiple hex- and key-lock models available.
• U.S. patented hex-lock needs only a quarter-turn to lock/unlock.

• Terminal strip includes Phillips combination-head captive 8/32 screws for easy connection to Initiating Device Circuit (IDC).
• Terminal screws backed-out at factory and shipped ready to accept field wiring (up to 12 AWG/3.1 mm²).
• Terminal numbers are molded into the backplate, eliminating the need for labels.
• Switch contacts are normally open.

Construction

• Cover, backplate and operation handle are all molded of durable polycarbonate material.
• Cover features white lettering and trim.
• Red color matches System Sensor’s popular SpectrAlert® Advance horn/strobe series.

Operation

The NBG-12 manual pull stations provide a textured finger-hold area that includes Braille text. In addition to PUSH IN and PULL DOWN text, there are arrows indicating how to operate the sta-tion, provided for non-English- speaking people. Pushing in and then pulling down on the handle activates the normally-open alarm switch. Once latched in the down position, the word “ACTIVATED” appears at the top in bright yellow, with a portion of the handle protruding at the bottom as a visible flag. Resetting the station is simple: insert the key or hex (model dependent), twist one quarter-turn, then open the station’s front cover, causing the spring-loaded operation handle to return to its original position. The alarm switch can then be reset to its normal (non- alarm) position manually (by hand) or by closing the station’s front cover, which automatically resets the switch.

Specifications

PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Switch contact ratings: gold-plated; rating 0.25 A @ 30 VAC or VDC. Auxiliary contact circuit (Terminals 3 & 4, NBG-12LA): rated to 3.0 A @ 30 VAC or VDC.

ENGINEERING/ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS
Manual Fire Alarm Stations shall be non-code, with a key- or hex-operated reset lock in order that they may be tested, and so designed that after actual Emergency Operation, they cannot be restored to normal except by use of a key or hex. An operated station shall automatically condition itself so as to be visually detected as activated. Manual stations shall be constructed of red colored LEXAN (or polycarbonate equivalent) with clearly visible operating instructions provided on the cover. The word FIRE shall appear on the front of the stations in white letters, 1.00 inches (2.54 cm) or larger. Stations shall be suitable for surface mounting on matching backbox SB-10 or SB-I/O; or semi-flush mounting on a standard single-gang, double-gang, or 4″ (10.16 cm) square electrical box, and shall be installed within the limits defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or per national/local requirements. Manual Stations shall be Under-writers Laboratories listed.
NOTE: The words “FIRE/FUEGO” on the NBG-12LSP and NBG-12LPSP shall appear on the front of the station in white letters, approximately 3/4″ (1.905 cm) high.

Pre-Signal Models
The NBG-12LPS and NBG-12LPSP pull stations are non-coded manual pull stations which provide a FACP with two normally open alarm initiating input signals. “Pre-signal” input is activated by pushing in, then pulling down, the dual- action handle. A “gen-eral” alarm input signal can be manually activated via a momen-tary rocker switch mounted inside the unit. This general alarm switch can only be accessed by opening the cover with the sup-plied key/lock. See diagram at right.
