GENERAL
The NOTIFIER NBG-12LX is a state-of-the-art, dual-ac-

NOTIFIER intelligent control panel. Because the NBG-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.

the bottom of the station. To reset the station, simply un-
lock the station with the key and pull the door open. This
action resets the handle; closing 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 set-
tings (1 – 159 on FlashScan® systems, 1 – 99 on CLIP
systems).

INSTALLATION
The NBG-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
