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 station, 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.

Manual Fire Alarm Stations shall be non-code, with a key- or hex-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 or hex. An operated station shall automatically condition itself so as to be visually detected as activated. Manual stations shall be constructed of red colored LEXAN (or polycarbonate equivalent) with clearly visible operating 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 within the limits defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or per national/local requirements. Manual Stations shall be Underwriters Laboratories listed.

NOTE: *The words “FIRE/FUEGO” on the NBG-12LSP and NBG- 12LPSP shall appear on the front of the station in white letters, approximately 3/4" (1.905 cm) high.

The NBG-12LPS and NBG-12LPSP pull stations are non-coded manual pull stations which provide a FACP with two normally open alarm initiating input signals. “Pre-signal” input is activated by pushing in, then pulling down, the dual-action handle. A “gen- eral” alarm input signal can be manually activated via a momen- tary rocker switch mounted inside the unit. This general alarm switch can only be accessed by opening the cover with the sup- plied key/lock. See diagram at right.
