Description
The BG-12S pull station is a non-coded, single-action manual pull station with pigtail con-
nections and a hex-lock reset feature. It provides Fire•Lite control panels with one normally
open (N/O) alarm initiating input. The BG-12S 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.
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-12S 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-12S is to be semi-flush
mounted.
Operation
To activate the single-action pull station, simply pull down the handle. The word 'ACTI-
VATED' 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
1. To reset the BG-12S hex lock pull station, insert the supplied 9/64-inch hex wrench
into the lock until firmly seated and turn counterclockwise 1/4-turn.
2. Open the door until the handle returns to normal.
3. 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.
