BG-12LX Addressable Pull Station

Description
The BG-12LX Addressable pull station is a non-coded,
dual-action manual pull station with a key-lock reset fea-
ture. It provides Fire•Lite intelligent control panels with

module is housed inside the pull station. The BG-12LX
is compatible with all Fire•Lite intelligent panels. The
BG-12LX meets the ADA requirement for a 5-lb. maxi-
mum pull force to activate the pull station. Operating
instructions are molded into the pull station handle along
with Braille text. Molded Terminal numbers are also
present.

Installation
The BG-12LX Addressable pull station can be surface
mounted to an SB-10 surface backbox or semi-flush
mounted on a standard single-gang, double-gang or 4”
(10.16 cm) square electrical box. The optional BG-TR
trim ring can be used if the BG-12LX is to be semi-flush
mounted.

Setting the BG-12LX Address
The BG-12LX Addressable pull station is factory preset
with address ‘00.’ Set the address for the pull station by
turning the rotary address switches on the addressable mod-
ule mounted inside the pull station. Only one device per
address is allowed. Multiple modules may not be set to
the same address on the Signaling Line Circuit. Once the
address is set, record it in the space provided on the prod-
uct ID label located inside the pull station.

If, during mounting of the pull station, the door be-
comes detached, complete the following steps to reattach
the door to the backplate. The door cannot be connected
to the pull station if the unit is mounted to the backbox.
1.

Position the door and backplate side by side in the
full open position. (i.e. 180-degrees with respect to
each other.)

With the backplate position fixed, move the door be-
hind the backplate, as shown in the illustration, part
A.

Align the hinge posts and holes by bringing the door
up to meet the backplate, paying particular attention
to the ‘keying’ that occurs when the door’s post hole
is aligned to the backplate’s hinge post. Refer to the
illustration, part B.

With the two pieces aligned and ‘keyed’ together, slide
the holes down onto the posts. Refer to the illustra-
tion, part C.

Holding the backplate, close the door and backplate
slightly to lock the door and backplate together.
