General

The Notifier NOT-BG12LX is a state-of-the-art, dual-action

(i.e., requires two motions to activate the station) pull station

that includes an addressable interface for FireWarden series

intelligent control panels, and the NSP-25 panel. Because the

NOT-BG12LX is addressable, the control panel can display the

exact location of the activated manual station. This leads fire

personnel quickly to the location of the alarm.

Features

• Maintenance personnel can open station for inspection and

address setting without causing an alarm condition.

• Built-in bicolor LED, which is visible through the handle of

the station, flashes in normal operation and latches steady

red when in alarm.

• Handle latches in down position and the word “ACTIVATED”

appears to clearly indicate the station has been operated.

• Captive screw terminals wire-ready for easy connection to

SLC loop (accepts up to 12 AWG/3.25 mm² wire).

• Can be surface mounted (with SB-10 or SB-I/O) or semi-

flush mounted. Semi-flush mount to a standard single-

gang, double-gang, or 4" (10.16 cm) square electrical box.

• Smooth dual-action design.
• Meets ADAAG controls and operating mechanisms guide-

lines (Section 4.1.3[13]); meets ADA requirement for 5 lb.

maximum activation force.

• Highly visible.
• Attractive shape and textured finish.
• Key reset.
• Includes Braille text on station handle.
• Optional trim ring (BG12TR).
• Meets UL 38, Standard for Manually Actuated Signaling

Boxes.

Installation

The NOT-BG12LX will mount semi-flush into a single-gang,

double-gang, or standard 4" (10.16 cm) square electrical outlet

box, or will surface mount to the model SB-10 or SB-I/O sur-

face backbox. If the NOT-BG12LX is being semi-flush

mounted, then the optional trim ring (BG12TR) may be used.

The BG12TR is usually needed for semi-flush mounting with 4"

(10.16 cm) or double-gang boxes (not with single-gang boxes).

Operation

Pushing in, then pulling down on the handle causes it to latch

in the down/activated position. Once latched, the word “ACTI-

VATED” (in bright yellow) appears at the top of the handle,

while a portion of the handle protrudes from the bottom of the

station. To reset the station, simply unlock the station with the

key and pull the door open. This action resets the handle; clos-

ing the door automatically resets the switch.
Each manual station, on command from the control panel,

sends data to the panel representing the state of the manual

switch. Two rotary decimal switches allow address settings

(1 – 99 on NFW2-100/NFW2-100C, 1 – 50 for NFW-50/NFW-

50C).

Architectural/Engineering
Specifications

Manual Fire Alarm Stations shall be non-coded, with a key-

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. An operated sta-

tion shall automatically condition itself so as to be visually

detected as activated. Manual stations shall be constructed of

red-colored polycarbonate material with clearly visible operat-

ing 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
