Using an External Trigger for Emergency on Netbell-NTG
You may program your Netbell-NTG to play a tone from an external trigger such as a push button or door contact
switch connected to one of the digital inputs. In this instruction, we will use a push button for demonstration.
Note: Unless your trigger device supplies its own power, ensure your input switch is set to the Pull UP (PU) position.
To set the digital input switch to PU position, you need to open the lid of the Netbell-NTG controller, local the
switches, make sure the switch you are connecting the push button to is pushed to the PU position.

There are 4 digital inputs on the Netbell-NTG PA system controller, allowing you to connect up to 4 push buttons to
activate emergency sounds manually - one for each emergency code. We call these local push buttons.
If wiring is not an option or you want to install push buttons at different locations in your facility, you can use our
Ethernet I/O controller to connect additional push buttons to trigger emergency messages over the network. The
emergency push buttons can be installed anywhere in your facility where a network connection is available, so
anyone nearby can push the buttons to activate emergency messages/tones when an emergency event is spotted.
We call these remote push buttons.
