Cal-Royal 8636-SW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal 8636 push plate work with my automatic door operator?
The 8636 actuator plate is built for Cal-Royal's 8600 Series automatic door operators. It's sold as a part within that system, so if your operator is an 8600 Series unit, the plate drops into that ecosystem. If your opening runs a different brand of operator, Cal-Royal doesn't state compatibility with it.
2) Do I have to run wire from the push plate back to the door controller?
Not if you order the wireless version. The wireless configuration uses the MTR-01 Wireless Radio Kit, which removes the wiring run between the actuator and the controller, and the radio kit is FCC approved. A hard-wired configuration is also offered for facilities that want a direct wired connection back to the controller. On a retrofit into finished walls or a masonry corridor, the wireless option is usually the one that saves the labor.
3) How many push plates do I get when I order the wireless version?
The wireless option is packaged with two push plates plus one MTR-01 radio set, which is the 8651-KIT arrangement for the square plates. That covers the normal two-actuator layout, one inside and one outside the opening. The hard-wired option is ordered as a single plate, so for a two-sided install you need two.
4) Is there a wireless option for LCN jamb-mount actuators like the Cal-Royal 8636-SW wireless push plate?
Yes. The Cal-Royal 8636-SW handles wireless actuation with the FCC-approved MTR-01 Wireless Radio Kit, which removes the wiring run between the actuator and the controller, and it is offered as a wireless package that includes two push plates. On the LCN side, the 8310-3803 is a 3V wireless conversion kit for jamb mount touchless actuators, so it converts an existing touchless jamb actuator rather than arriving as a stainless push plate with a blue handicap logo. Choose the 8636-SW when you want the push plate and the radio together for an 8600 Series operator, and the LCN kit when the touchless jamb actuator is already installed.
5) What shapes and sizes does the Cal-Royal 8636 handicap push plate come in?
Two plate shapes: a 4.5 inch square plate and a 6 inch round plate. Both carry the blue handicap logo on stainless steel, and both can be had hard-wired or wireless. Pick the square for narrow jamb or column mounting; the round 6 inch is the more visible target in high-traffic lobbies and corridors.
6) Do I need to cut into the wall to mount this actuator plate?
No. The 8636-SW ships with a surface mounting box, so the plate mounts on the face of the wall, jamb, or column without a recessed back box. That matters on block walls, glass storefront framing, and anywhere you can't open a finished wall.
7) What model numbers do I order for the square versus the round Cal-Royal actuator plate?
The square 4.5 inch plate is the 8636-SW and the round plate is the 8637-SW. In wireless kit form, the square pair is the 8651-KIT and the round pair is the 8653-KIT, each of those being two plates plus one MTR-01 radio set.
8) I want to convert my existing wired actuators to wireless. Is there an option besides Cal-Royal?
Within Cal-Royal's 8600 Series, the MTR-01 radio kit is how the plates go wireless. If your operator is an LCN unit instead, the LCN 8310-3803 3V Wireless Conversion Kit for jamb mount touchless actuators is the equivalent conversion part for that brand. Match the kit to the operator manufacturer, not to the plate.
9) Can I use a DynaLock exit sensor bar instead of a Cal-Royal 8636-SW push plate to open an automatic door?
They are not interchangeable. The Cal-Royal 8636-SW is a 4.5 inch square stainless push plate with a blue handicap logo, wall or jamb mounted with a surface mounting box and built to actuate 8600 Series automatic door operators. The DynaLock 6451-36 is an exit sensor bar sized for a 36 inch door, so it mounts on the door leaf itself and is intended as an egress device. If the requirement on the drawing is an accessible actuator at the approach side of the opening, the 8636-SW is the correct part; a door-mounted sensor bar does not satisfy that.
10) What can I put over a Cal-Royal 8636-SW to stop nuisance presses, or is there a different actuator for that?
The Cal-Royal 8636-SW itself is supplied as a stainless push plate with a surface mounting box in 4.5 inch square or 6 inch round, in hard-wired or wireless form, with no cover accessory of its own. Where tamper protection drives the selection, Dortronics offers the 6510/COV anti-tamper alarm cover for its 6500 Series pull stations and 5000 Series push buttons, which is a different actuator family entirely. Specifying the Dortronics button and cover means giving up the 8636-SW's blue handicap logo marking and its MTR-01 wireless option on the 8600 Series operator.
11) Is the Cal-Royal 8636 push plate rated for commercial traffic?
It's a commercial-duty part, stainless steel construction, and Cal-Royal lists it for office buildings, healthcare, schools, retail, government buildings, and multi-tenant properties. For a property manager standardizing accessible entrances across a portfolio, the same plate in square or round covers both jamb and wall conditions.
12) Do I need a separate transformer when I order the hard-wired Cal-Royal 8636-SW?
The hard-wired Cal-Royal 8636-SW push plate wires back to the 8600 Series operator controller, and the wireless version replaces that run with the MTR-01 radio kit; power for the actuator circuit comes from the operator side rather than from the plate. Where a separate low-voltage supply is called for on an access control circuit, a transformer such as the Adams Rite 4605, which takes 115 VAC to 12 or 24 VAC at 40 volt-amps, is the type of device that fills that role. Confirm the operator's own output before adding one.
13) For a wired actuator at a swinging door, is a mortise pin transfer an alternative to the Cal-Royal 8636-SW?
No, they solve different halves of the problem. The RCI 9500/9501 mortise pin transfer is a tamper-resistant device rated 1.5A at 24VAC for carrying current from frame to door leaf; it is a power transfer, not an actuator. The Cal-Royal 8636-SW is the user-facing stainless push plate with the blue handicap logo that signals the 8600 Series operator. A pin transfer would only enter the job if a door-mounted electrified device also needs power, alongside the push plate, not instead of it.
