General
The NOTIFIER NBG-12 Series is a cost-effective, feature-
packed series of non-coded manual fire alarm pull stations. It
was designed to meet multiple applications with the installer and
end-user in mind. The NBG-12 Series features a variety of mod-
els including single- and dual-action versions.
The NBG-12 Series provides an alarm initiating input signal to
conventional fire alarm control panels (FACPs) such as the
SFP Series, and to XP Transponders. Its innovative design,
durable construction, and multiple mounting options make the
NBG-12 Series simple to install, maintain, and operate.

Operation
The NBG-12 manual pull stations provide a textured finger-hold
area that includes Braille text. In addition to PUSH IN and PULL
DOWN text, there are arrows indicating how to operate the sta-
tion, provided for non-English-speaking people.
Pushing in and then pulling down on the handle activates the
normally-open alarm switch. Once latched in the down position,
the word “ACTIVATED” appears at the top in bright yellow, with a
portion of the handle protruding at the bottom as a visible flag.
Resetting the station is simple: insert the key or hex (model
dependent), twist one quarter-turn, then open the station’s front
cover, causing the spring-loaded operation handle to return to
its original position. The alarm switch can then be reset to its
normal (non-alarm) position manually (by hand) or by closing
the station’s front cover, which automatically resets the switch.
