Sorry if this has been covered, I tried searching and came up with nada. This is my second pull station Im rehabbing ( the first one had no internals and is mounted at my bar and houses the light switches for my bar and kitchen) however this one was in service on my department for a number of years and was given to me by my father (chief) and im tring to get it running again. It's housed in a SAFA cottage box but everhting else in Gamewell I think. Any help with how its wired would be awesome!
sorry about the crappy pic, I can post more if need be...

L-1 and L-2 are municipal circuit. S-1 and S-2 should be the supervisory contacts. A-1 and A-2 should be the trip circuit for the master trip. Every application was a little different so there could be some variation on the S and A terminals.

Are POS and NEG power supplied to one of these circuits? Looking to supply 12v to it then to a bell. Little baffled on how to go about this. I found all the power supply info here wich was a great help, now I just need to know how to plug it in.

Hi,
The easiest way is to buy a radio shack universal ac/dc adapter part #273-028. It's $19.99. Wire it to your stuff in series. ( a loop ) Start with the lowest voltage and work your way up until all your equipment in your display works correctly. Go no further on voltage. It may work on the lowest setting depending on how much you have on your circuit. As you add things you may have to bump it up a notch. I have several museum displays operating this way and have no problems. Maintaining 100 mils is a municipal circuit thing not nessesary for displays. Voltage dictates milliamps so use the lowest voltage that works and you in the ballpark for milliamps. Doc
There is now a page up on youngstownfire.com which explains how to hook up your fire call box so that you can demonstrate your setup. Please take a look at

I copyed the above info from ALMDOC & YFDGRICKER from an earlier post. This may be what you need. It shows how to wire the parts of the system.
Good luck,
Bill

If I'm reading it correctly, you just want to know where to hook up your power. Those should be L1 & L2.
