1) If flush mounting, proceed to step 4.
2) Mount the backbox before wiring it to the pull station.
3) Before surface mounting the pull station, pull all wiring through the backbox and
optional trim ring.
4) Remove the appropriate amount of wire insulation. The pull station back plate is
molded with a strip gauge to measure the amount of insulation to be removed.
5) Connect the wiring from the addressable fire alarm control panel’s Signaling Line
Circuit (SLC) to Terminals 1(-) and 2(+) on the BG-12LX addressable pull sta-
tion. SLC polarity is critical for this connection.
6) Connect the wiring going to the next device on the SLC to Terminals 1 and 2,
again being certain to observe polarity.
7) Open the pull station door; align the mounting holes of the pull station backplate
to the backbox and screw into place. Tighten top and bottom screws.
8) Set the address as described in ‘Setting the BG-12LX Address’ and write the
address in the space provided on the label.
9) Insure that the alarm switch is in the normal position. Close and lock the pull
station door.
Operation
Push-in and pull-down the handle where indicated to activate the station. The BG-12LX manual fire alarm pull
station includes one SPST (Single Pole, Single Throw) N/O (normally-open) switch and the addressable mod-
ule located inside the station. Pushing-in and pulling-down the dual action handle causes the N/O alarm switch
to close. The word ‘ACTIVATED’ is displayed on the top of the handle when the pull station handle is
Pushed-in and pulled-down. The activated handle can not be reset without employing the key-lock reset. To
reset the BG-12LX pull station: 1) Insert the key and turn counterclockwise, 2) Open the door until the handle
moves back into the ‘NORMAL’ position, 3) Close the door and lock it. Closing the door automatically resets
the BG-12LX to the ‘NORMAL’ position.
CAUTION!
Install the Fire•Lite BG-12LX manual pull
station in accordance with these instructions,
applicable NFPA standards, national and local
Fire and Electrical codes and the requirements
of the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction).
Regular testing of the devices should be con-
ducted in accordance with the appropriate NFPA
standards. Failure to follow these directions may
result in failure of the device to report an alarm
condition. Fire•Lite is not responsible for
devices that have been improperly installed,
tested or maintained.
For ADA compliance, if the clear floor space
only allows forward approach to an object, the
maximum forward reach height allowed is 48
in. (1,220 mm). If the clear floor space allows
parallel approach by a person in a wheelchair,
the maximum side reach height allowed is 54
in. (1,370 mm).
Note - Opening the pull station
