BEFORE INSTALLING
This pull station must be installed in compliance with the control panel system
installation manual, the SWIFT® Wireless Manual, applicable NFPA standards,
national and local Fire codes and the requirements of the AHJ (Authority Hav-
ing Jurisdiction). Regular testing of the devices should be done in accordance
with the appropriate NFPA standards. Pull stations offer maximum perfor-
mance when installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Associ-
ation (NFPA); see NFPA 72. In Canada, CAN/ULC S524 and NEMA guidelines
should be observed.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NBG-12WL(A) wireless, addressable pull station is a UL-38/ULC-S528
compliant dual-action manual pull station with a key-lock reset feature in-
tended for use with a wireless gateway or wireless fire alarm control panel
(FACP). (See Figure 1.) It provides NOTIFIER panels one addressable alarm
initiating input. The device communicates through a robust, bi-directional
mesh network to the gateway and/or FACP. Rotary dial switches are provided
for setting the pull station's address. (See Figure 2.) Operating instructions
are molded into the pull station handle along with Braille text. The wireless
pull station meets the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines
(ADAAG) controls and operating mechanisms guidelines (section 4.1.3[13]),
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirement for a 5 lb. maximum
pull force to activate the pull station, and conforms to ANSI/UL-38/ULC-S528.
Panels offer different feature sets across the various models. As a result, cer-
tain features may be available on some control panels, but not on others. The
possible feature sets available with the wireless pull station include:
• An LED on the wireless pull station is controlled by the panel to indicate
device status. Operational modes include red, green and amber colors in
various solid or blink patterns.
COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To ensure proper operation, this module shall be connected to a compatible
Notifier system control panel (list available from Notifier).

BATTERY DOOR
The battery door includes a magnet for activation and tamper resistance. (See
Figure 2.) The battery door magnet activates communication to the panel,
therefore, the battery door must be installed and closed for the pull station
to work properly. The magnet also activates a tamper fault at the panel if the
battery door is opened. Do NOT remove this magnet.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Low battery levels on the wireless devices are displayed as a trouble in the
FACP. Therefore when the message "TROUBLE BATTERY LOW" is displayed,
replace the battery in the device. This message is an indication that approxi-
mately one week of battery life remains.
To replace the batteries in a wireless device use the following steps:
1. Have 4 CR123A (or DL123A) batteries available.
2. Use the key to unlock and open the pull station door.
3. Open the battery compartment. (See Figure 2.)
4. Remove the used batteries and replace with new batteries. Batteries can
be inserted directly into the pull station or inserted as a set of 4 batteries
pre-loaded in a battery cartridge available from Notifier. (See Figure 2.) The
battery compartment and cartridge indicate the correct orientation of the
batteries. Carefully align the batteries with these markings, and do not force
them into place.
5. Close the battery compartment cover.
6. Close and lock the pull station door.
