Notifier NBG-12LX Dual-Action Pull Station

The Notifier NBG-12LX is an addressable dual-action pull station designed for compatible Notifier intelligent fire alarm control panels. The station requires two motions—push in and pull down—to initiate an alarm, helping reduce accidental activation while providing reliable manual fire alarm initiation.

The integrated addressable interface allows the fire alarm control panel to identify the exact device location during an alarm. The station features rotary address switches, a dual-color status LED, key-reset operation, and a durable polycarbonate housing for long-term commercial use. This product is intended exclusively for commercial fire alarm installations.

Product Functions

• Manual fire alarm activation
• Dual-action push/pull operation
• Individual address identification
• Alarm reporting through the SLC loop
• Continuous communication with the control panel
• Dual-color LED status indication
• Key-reset operation
• Supervised addressable device operation

Electrical & System Information

The NBG-12LX operates on compatible Notifier Signaling Line Circuits (SLC) with a 24 VDC nominal operating voltage and automatically communicates using either FlashScan® or CLIP protocol, depending on the connected control panel.

Two rotary decimal switches provide address settings from 01–159 on FlashScan systems and 01–99 on CLIP systems. The station is supervised continuously by the fire alarm control panel for reliable operation.
