Cal-Royal 8631-SW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal 8631-SW touchless switch fit a standard single gang wall box?
Yes. The 8631-SW is a single gang device measuring 4.5 x 2.75 inches, so it drops into a standard commercial single gang opening. The faceplate overlaps the box, which is normal for this style of switch, so plan for a flat wall surface around the opening rather than trim or a deep reveal.
2) How far away does the Cal-Royal 8631-SW sense a hand?
Detection range is 2 inches to 24 inches. That two-foot reach means a user can wave without leaning in, which is the point in healthcare and food-service corridors, but it also means you want to mount it off the traffic path so people walking by do not trigger the opener. Microwave motion sensing is what does the detecting, so it reads movement rather than heat or a reflected beam.
3) I need a touchless actuator for an opening with no power run to the wall box - is the 8631-SW the right pick?
No. The Cal-Royal 8631-SW is a hard wired switch and is not battery operated, so it needs a power run to the single gang box. For an opening with no wiring in the wall, look at a wireless or battery powered actuator instead - the Securitron WSS Wave Sense line is the peer no-touch switch family to price against, and you would confirm the specific WSS variant supports the power arrangement your opening allows.
4) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal 8631-SW and the Securitron WSS Wave Sense no-touch switch?
Both are touchless wave activation switches for door operators, so either can take the place of a push plate. The Cal-Royal 8631-SW is the 8600 Series hard wired unit using microwave motion sensing with a 2 to 24 inch range in a 4.5 x 2.75 inch single gang footprint. The Securitron WSS is the Wave Sense equivalent from its WSS Series. If you are standardizing a building on Cal-Royal 8600 Series door closer accessories, the 8631-SW keeps the family consistent.
5) Will the 8631-SW work if someone is wearing gloves or has their hands full?
Yes. Microwave motion sensing reads movement, not skin contact or body heat, so gloves, a cast, an elbow, or a cart nudged past the face of the switch will all trigger it within the 2 to 24 inch window. That is why these go on patient room doors, kitchens, and clean corridors where a push plate is a problem.
6) Can I mount two 8631-SW switches, one inside and one outside the door?
Nothing about the device prevents it. Each 8631-SW is an independent hard wired single gang switch, so a common setup is one on each side of the opening, both wired back to the same operator as activation inputs. Order one unit per location. With a 24 inch detection reach on each, keep them far enough apart that a person at one is not within range of the other.
7) Is a push plate actuator the same thing as the Cal-Royal 8631-SW?
No. A push plate actuator requires physical contact to trigger the door operator. The Cal-Royal 8631-SW is a touchless switch that activates on microwave motion sensing from 2 inches to 24 inches away, responding to a hand gesture without contact, which is the point of specifying it in healthcare and other facilities reducing touchpoints. The Securitron WSS Wave Sense switch is the comparable no-touch device; a mechanical push plate is not a substitute if touchless operation is the requirement.
8) We are standardizing touchless switches across a commercial portfolio - how do the Cal-Royal 8631-SW and the Securitron WSS compare for that?
Both are no-touch door actuators, so either can anchor a standard. The Cal-Royal 8631-SW is a commercial-rated electronic device in the 8600 Series, hard wired, in a 4.5 inch by 2.75 inch single gang size that matches standard commercial wall box prep, and it is designed to integrate with other 8600 Series door closer accessories - useful if you are also standardizing closers and operators from the same family. The Securitron WSS Wave Sense belongs to the WSS Series. If your buildings already carry one series, staying in it keeps spare stock and installer familiarity consistent.
9) Is the 8631-SW touchless switch rated for commercial use or is it a residential product?
Commercial. Cal-Royal lists the 8631-SW as a commercial product, and the typical applications are office buildings, hospitals, schools, retail, government facilities, multi-tenant properties, and warehouses. For a house or a low-traffic private office, this is more switch than the opening needs.
10) How many versions of the Cal-Royal 8631-SW are there, and do I have to pick a finish?
There is one configuration, model 8631-SW, so there is no finish, handing, or voltage option to specify on the order. You pick the switch and move on to the operator and wiring.
