The Fire-Lite BG-12LX is an addressable dual action manual pull station designed to provide dependable manual fire alarm initiation in commercial fire alarm systems. Activation requires two deliberate motions by pushing in and then pulling down the handle, helping reduce accidental operation while providing straightforward emergency activation.
An integrated addressable interface allows the fire alarm control panel to identify the specific activated station. The BG-12LX features rotary decimal addressing, a built in bi color LED, key lock reset, Braille operating instructions, and durable red polycarbonate construction.
