Alarm Controls - Battery Powered No Touch Request to Exit Stations

The battery powered No Touch Request to
Exit Activation Switches use infrared sensors
to reliably allow safe egress or activation of
a device with a simple hand presentation.

These request to exit solutions provide greater flexibility and
control for sensitive applications, without the need to make
costly modifications, extending touch-free access and egress
in an easy and affordable way. The NTB Series is a direct
replacement for traditional “request to exit” push buttons
and can be used to quickly upgrade existing applications
to code compliant no touch solutions using existing wiring.

Alarm Controls NTB-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I replace an existing request-to-exit push button with a no-touch sensor using the wiring already in the wall?
That's exactly what the Alarm Controls NTB Series is built for. It's a direct replacement for traditional request to exit push buttons and works off the existing wiring, so you can convert an opening to touch-free egress without pulling new cable or cutting the wall. The relay is DPDT rated 2A at 30 VDC/VAC, so it drops into the same switched circuit a push button was handling.
2) Do I have to run power to an NTB no touch exit switch, or does it run on batteries?
Two AA alkaline batteries come with the NTB station and it runs on them out of the box, which is why it retrofits so easily where there's no power at the box. If you'd rather hard-power it, it accepts 12 or 24 VDC. Either way there's a low battery LED status indicator on the plate so maintenance sees it coming instead of finding a dead sensor.
3) Which NTB model do I order for an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile?
The NTB-3 is the narrow stile plate, and NTB-3A is the same thing with the ADA symbol screened on. The other two plate formats are single gang (NTB-1, NTB-1A) and double gang (NTB-2, NTB-2A), which suit a standard wall box beside the opening rather than the stile itself.
4) How close does your hand have to be to trigger the Alarm Controls NTB wave sensor?
Detection range is up to 4 inches, which is deliberately short. It means someone walking past the plate or a cart brushing the wall won't fire the relay, but a hand presented at the plate will. There's also built in obstruction detection. If you want a sensor someone can trigger from across the vestibule, this is the wrong device.
5) Can I set how long the door stays released after someone waves at the switch?
Yes, the time delay is selectable from 1 to 10 seconds in the field. The bi-color red/green LED indicators are field-configurable too, and the audible tone can be switched on or off with a jumper, so you can run it silent in a healthcare corridor or a hotel floor and keep the tone on where you want feedback at the door.
6) Will an NTB no touch station hold up in an unheated garage or an exterior vestibule?
Operating range on the NTB is -13 F to 131 F (-25 C to 55 C), so parking structures, loading docks and unconditioned vestibules are within spec. The faceplate is stainless steel and vandal resistant, which is the other half of that question in a public entry.
7) Does a wave-to-open sensor like this work on sliding doors, or only swinging doors?
Both. The NTB Series is listed for swinging and sliding door applications. Since it's a dry contact device (DPDT relay, 2A at 30 VDC/VAC), it activates whatever it's wired to, an electric strike, a mag lock circuit, or a slider's automatic operator, rather than being tied to one door type.
8) What finishes do the Alarm Controls NTB exit stations come in?
Stainless steel is standard, with black (BK) and Duranodic Dark Bronze (DURO) also offered so the plate can match existing storefront or door hardware across a building. Every plate is screened WAVE TO OPEN, and the A models add the ADA symbol if you want the graphic to match accessible openings elsewhere in the facility.
9) Is the NTB with the ADA symbol a different sensor, or just a different plate?
Just the plate graphic. NTB-1A, NTB-2A and NTB-3A are the same sensor and same electronics as NTB-1, NTB-2 and NTB-3, with the ADA symbol screened onto the faceplate alongside the WAVE TO OPEN text. Pick the A version where you're marking an accessible opening and the plain version everywhere else, and they'll operate identically.
10) Is this thing rated for a commercial building or is it a residential product?
The NTB Series is a commercial device. Stainless steel vandal resistant faceplate, a DPDT relay rated 2A at 30 VDC/VAC, and a -13 F to 131 F operating range put it in schools, healthcare, offices and multi-family common areas rather than a house.
