Description

The BG-12LOB Pull Station is a non-coded manual pull station which provides a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with a single alarm initiating input signal. The pull station is a dual action model equipped with a key lock reset, an approved outdoor gasket, and an accompanying outdoor backbox. It is UL listed and meets the ADA requirement of a 5-lb. maximum pull down force to activate. Operating instructions are molded into the handle. Molded terminal numbers can also be found adjacent to the wiring terminals.

BG-12LOB

The features of the pull station include Dual-Action operation, Key-Lock Reset function, Screw Terminal Wire connections, outdoor use gasket, a WBB outdoor approved 4-inch backbox, and a sealed switch with gold-plated switch contacts.

Note: The BG-12LOB is applicable with the WP-10 backbox in retrofit applications. To meet UL requirements for outdoor use, the BG-12LO Pull Station must be mounted to the WBB or WP-10 Backbox to create the BG-12LOB model.

Wiring Instructions

1) Surface mount the supplied Outdoor Backbox (WBB) using the side flanges incorporate into the backbox design. The box can be positioned to allow conduit connection from any side. The pull station will mount in any position desired.

2) Before mounting the pull station, pull all necessary wiring through the backbox.

3) Remove the correct amount of wire insulation. The pull station’s backplate is molded with a strip gauge to measure the amount of insulation to be removed.

4) Connect the wiring from the fire alarm control panel’s Initiating Device Circuit (IDC), or any previous device on the IDC to terminals 1 and 2 located on the pull station’s terminal strip. Connect the next device on the IDC or Endof-Line Resistor (ELR) to terminals 1 and 2.

Note: Maintain consistent polarity with all connections throughout the IDC.

Outdoor Stations

Install the BG-12LO with a listed, outdoor-approved backbox (WBB or WP-10) to meet UL requirements for outdoor use. Without one of these backboxes, the BG-12LO is not listed for outdoor applications. Use the four supplied 8-32 x .375" mounting screws to attach the Pull Station to the outdoorapproved backbox.
