MS Sedco 59-WSS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the MS Sedco 59-W push plate mount to a standard single-gang box, or do I need a special enclosure?
The 59-W BioPlate mounts directly to a single-gang or 2-gang electrical box, so on new construction or an existing rough-in you can wire it into what the electrician already set. Where there is no box in the wall, such as a block wall or a glass storefront jamb, MS Sedco's #1020 surface mount box carries it on the face of the wall. The #1020 is ordered separately, so add it to the job if you have no back box.
2) What size wall opening does the MS Sedco 59-W square push plate cover?
The switch is built as a 4 x 4 inch all-active face plate on a formed 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch stainless steel back plate, so the finished footprint on the wall is 4-1/2 inches square. That back plate is the reason it holds up in a corridor: it takes the hits from carts, cases and hands instead of the drywall behind it. The whole 4 x 4 face is live, so a wheelchair user contacting any part of the plate triggers the door.
3) Can the 59-W BioPlate switch be wired to a normally closed circuit, or is it normally open only?
Both. The 59-W uses a UL Listed SPDT momentary microswitch with NO, NC and COM wire leads, rated 15A at 125VAC. That gives you a dry contact you can land on a low voltage automatic operator input, and it also lets you use the normally closed leg for an interlock or vestibule sequencing scheme without adding a relay. Momentary contact means the circuit makes only while the plate is pressed.
4) I need a push plate outside an exterior door that gets rained on. Will the standard 59-W work?
Not the standard version. For a wet or washdown location, MS Sedco builds an IP68 weatherproof option in the 59 Series, and that is what belongs on an exposed exterior wall, a loading dock or a garage entry. There is also a wireless version if you cannot get conduit to the post or jamb where the plate has to go. Specify the option up front, since it changes the part you order rather than something you add later.
5) Is the MS Sedco 59-W the actual door operator, or do I need something else to open the door?
The 59-W is the actuator only, the plate a person presses. It closes a momentary dry contact and sends that signal to a low energy or full power automatic door operator, which does the opening. On a retrofit you are typically replacing a worn plate on an operator that is already installed, and the SPDT switch with NO, NC and COM leads lands on nearly any operator's activation input. On a new opening, budget the operator, the plate, and the back box separately.
6) What does the antimicrobial BioPlate coating on the MS Sedco 59 Series actually do to the finish?
Nothing visible. The antimicrobial additive is built into the plate itself rather than applied as a surface coating, so the stainless keeps its clear architectural finish and the etched, paint-filled legend reads the same as a standard 59 Series plate. It works to reduce the spread of germs and bacteria on a surface hundreds of people touch a day, which is why it gets specified on patient corridors and restroom vestibules. Cleaning does not wear it off the way a topical coating would.
7) Which finish should I order for the MS Sedco 59-W, stainless or blue?
Two are built: stainless steel with a black legend, and a blue background with a white legend. The blue and white is the high-contrast option and it is what most healthcare and institutional specs call for, because the wheelchair symbol reads from across a lobby. Stainless with black disappears into a finished architectural wall and is the usual pick for offices and hotels. Both carry the same 4 x 4 all-active face on the 4-1/2 inch square stainless back plate.
8) What is the difference between the MS Sedco 59-W and the Camden CM-46 square push plate?
Both are 4-1/2 inch square push plate switches for automatic door activation, so they fill the same hole and cover the same wall footprint. The MS Sedco 59-W is the antimicrobial BioPlate version with an all-active 4 x 4 face and a UL Listed SPDT momentary switch rated 15A at 125VAC. The Camden CM-46 Series is the cross-brand equivalent in the same 4-1/2 inch square format. If you are standardizing a facility on one plate, the deciding factors are the legend and finish you need and whether the antimicrobial plate is called for.
9) Can I get the MS Sedco 59 Series push plate with Braille or with a radio transmitter built in?
Yes, both are catalog options on the 59 Series. Braille is worth specifying where the facility is standardizing on tactile signage at every actuator. The radio control version removes the wire run between the plate and the operator, which is the usual answer when the actuator has to sit on a bollard, an island post or a masonry wall you cannot chase. Order the option with the plate rather than trying to add it in the field.
