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.

Features

• 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 semi-

flush mounted. Semi-flush mount to a standard single-

gang, double-gang, or 4" (10.16 cm) square electrical box.

• Smooth dual-action design.

• Meets ADAAG controls and operating mechanisms guide-

lines (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 polycarbonate

material with a textured finish.

Specifications

• Shipping Weight: 9.6 oz. (272.15 g)

• Normal operating voltage: 24 VDC.

• Maximum SLC loop voltage: 28.0 VDC.

• Maximum SLC standby current: 375 μA.

• Maximum SLC alarm current: 5 mA.

• Temperature Range: 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C)

• Relative Humidity: 10% to 93% (noncondensing)

• For use indoors in a dry location

Installation

The BG-12LX will mount semi-flush into a single-gang, double-

gang, or standard 4" (10.16 cm) square electrical outlet box, or

will surface mount to the model SB-10 or SB-I/O surface back-

box. 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).

Operation

Pushing in, then pulling down on the handle causes it to latch

in the down/activated position. Once latched, the word “ACTI-

VATED” (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; clos-

ing 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 Series, 1 –

99 and MS-9200UDLS, 1 – 50 for MS-9050UD).

Architectural/Engineering

Specifications

Manual Fire Alarm Stations shall be non-coded, with a key-

operated 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 sta-

tion shall automatically condition itself so as to be visually

detected as activated. Manual stations shall be constructed of

red-colored polycarbonate material with clearly visible operat-

ing 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
