Pull Station Safety

This site offers information on an issue that can affect the normal operation of BG-10 Series fire alarm pull stations. It provides guidance on repair and replacement of these devices. Due to the average age of the pull stations affected, it is strongly recommended that all devices be replaced.

About the BG-10 Pull Station

Honeywell Fire Systems has identified an issue that could affect the normal operation of BG-10 series pull stations manufactured from 1992 through 2010. The majority were manufactured from 1992 through 2000. These pull stations were distributed under multiple brands including ADT, Fire-Lite Alarms, Johnson Control Inc. and NOTIFIER.

What is the Issue?

Over time, the seal installed around the alarm switch could deteriorate, preventing the switch from signaling an alarm when the pull station is activated. While annual testing required by NFPA 72 will help identify abnormal pull station operation, Honeywell Fire Systems wants to raise awareness and help users determine the best immediate course of action in a timely fashion.
