1. Position the door and backplate side
by side in the full open position. (i.e.
180-degrees with respect to each
other.)
2. With the backplate position fixed,
move the door behind the backplate,
as shown in the illustration, part A.
3. 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.
4. With the two pieces aligned and
‘keyed’ together, slide the holes
down onto the posts. Refer to the
illustration, part C.
5. Holding the backplate, close the door
slightly to lock the door and backplate
together.
Door Reattachment
If the door becomes 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 a backbox.
Switch Contact Rating
FACP Circuit (Terminals 1 & 2):
Rated to .25 Amp at 30 Volts (AC or DC).
Auxiliary Contact Circuit (Terminals 3 & 4):
Rated to 3 Amps at 30 Volts (AC or DC).
Mounting

Dual Action BG-12LA
BG12face.wmf
Description:
The BG-12LA Pull Station is a non-coded manual pull station
which provides a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with a single
alarm initiating input signal. The pull station also provides a
second set of contacts rated up to 3 Amps at 30 volts (AC or
DC), for auxiliary functions. The BG-12LA is a dual action
model equipped with a key lock reset. It is UL listed and meets
the ADA requirement of a 5-lb. maximum pull down force to
activate. Operating instructions are molded into the handle.
Molded terminal numbers can also be found adjacent to the
wiring terminals.
With the door and backplate
aligned and ‘keyed’ together,
slide the holes down onto the
posts.
Closing the door slightly
locks the door and
backplate together.

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).
