Document 51381 Revision A ECN 00-215 06/13/2000
Wiring Instructions
1) Before mounting the pull station, pull all necessary wiring
through the backbox.
2) 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.
3) 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 End-
of-Line Resistor (ELR) to terminals 1 and 2. Note: Maintain
consistent polarity with all connections throughout the IDC.
4) Connect the wiring for the normally open (N/O) auxiliary
switch circuit to terminals 3 & 4.
Operation
To activate the dual-action station, first push in the handle, and
then pull the handle down. The handle locks into the activated
position. The word ‘ACTIVATED’ appears after the handle is
pulled down. The pull station remains in the activated position
until reset with the key lock.
1) Reset the BG-12LA by inserting the key into the lock and
turning it ¼ turn (counter-clockwise).
2) Open the door until the handle returns to the ‘NORMAL’
position.
3) Close and lock the door. Closing the door automatically
resets the switch to the ‘NORMAL’ position. Note: Opening
the pull station door will not activate or deactivate the FACP
alarm switch or the auxiliary function switch.
CAUTION
Install the pull station in accordance with the supplied instructions, applicable NFPA standards, national and local Fire and Electrical
codes and the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Conduct regular testing of the devices using appropriate
NFPA standards. Fire•Lite is not responsible for devices that have not been properly 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 inches (121.92cm). If the clear floor space allows parallel approach by a person in a wheelchair, the maximum side reach height
allowed is 54 inches (137.16cm).
