DF-52013:A • E-100 BG-12LX Addressable Manual Pull Station Addressable General The Fire·Lite BG-12LX is a state-of-the-art, dual-action (i.e., requires two motions to activate the station) pull station that includes an addressable interface (mounted inside) for Fire·Lite’s addressable fire alarm control panels (FACPs). Because the BG-12LX 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. • 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 semiflush mounted. Semi-flush mount to a standard singlegang, double-gang, or 4" (10.16 cm) square electrical box. • Smooth dual-action design. • Meets ADAAG controls and operating mechanicsms guidelines (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. Construction Shell, door, and handle are molded of durable LEXAN® (or polycarbonate equivalent) with a textured finish. Specifications • • • • • Normal operating voltage: 24 VDC. Maximum SLC loop voltage: 28.0 VDC. Maximum SLC loop current: 230 µA. Ambient Temperature: 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) Relative Humidity: 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F) • For use indoors in a dry location Installation The BG-12LX will mount semi-flush into a single-gang, doublegang, or standard 4" (10.16 cm) square electrical outlet box, or will surface mount to the model SB-10 or SB-I/O surface backbox. If the BG-12LX 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). 52004p4c.jpg Features Operation Pushing in, then pulling down on the handle causes it to latch in the down/activated position. Once latched, the word “ACTIVATED” (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; closing 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 – 159 with Breakaway Tab removed for MS-9600, 1 – 99 and MS-9200UDLS, 1 – 50 for MS-9050UD). Architectural/Engineering Specifications Manual Fire Alarm Stations shall be non-coded, with a keyoperated 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 station shall automatically condition itself so as to be visually detected as activated. Manual stations shall be constructed of red-colored LEXAN (or polycarbonate equivalent) with clearly visible operating 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 within the limits defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or per national/local requirements. Manual Stations shall be Underwriters Laboratories listed. DF-52013:A • 02/05/2008 — Page 1 of 2 Manual stations shall connect with two wires to one of the control panel SLC loops. The manual station shall, on command from the control panel, send data to the panel representing the state of the manual switch. Manual stations shall provide address setting by use of rotary decimal switches. Product Line Information BG-12LX: Dual-action addressable pull station. Includes key locking feature.
