Norton Rixson 5730 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the Norton Rixson 5700 operator handed, and which arm do I pick for push side versus pull side mounting?
Handing is not a factor. The 5700 Series operator itself is non-handed and mounts on either the push or the pull side. What you do have to get right on the order is the arm. Three are offered: a double lever arm for push side mounting, a rigid arm for pull side, and a universal arm that covers push or pull. If the header space or the site conditions are not settled yet, the universal arm keeps both mounting options open; if you already know the operator sits on the pull side, the rigid arm is the one that matches that condition.
2) What happens to the door if the power goes out on a Norton Rixson 5700 operator?
The door still works by hand. The 5700 Series is built around the Norton Rixson 1601 adjustable mechanical door closer, so when power drops the opening reverts to a normal manually operated closer, pull it open and it closes and latches on the closer's own spring. That is the practical difference an electrohydraulic operator like this one gives you: the closing side of the equation is mechanical, not dependent on the electronics.
3) What power does the Norton Rixson 5700 operator need, and can it run my electric strike off the same unit?
The 5700 Series has a 24VDC onboard power supply rated 1.1A, and that supply is there to power and coordinate electric strikes and other door accessories as well as the operator itself. So on a typical accessible entry you are not adding a separate transformer for the strike, provided the strike and any other accessories stay inside that 1.1A budget. Confirm the strike's current draw against it. Wiring runs to the operator per the manufacturer wiring diagrams, and power should be off before you start.
4) The LCN 9131 is a pull side operator and the LCN 9142 is a push side operator - is there a low energy operator that covers either mounting condition without picking a hand up front?
The Norton Rixson 5700 Series is non-handed and is offered with a Universal arm that mounts push or pull side, so a single unit covers either approach side. It is also ordered with a Double Lever Arm for push side or a Rigid Arm for pull side when the mounting condition is already settled on the drawing. The LCN 9131 Benchmark is a pull side mount low energy operator and the LCN 9142 Benchmark is a push side mount low energy operator, so with those the approach side is fixed at the point the model number is chosen. On a retrofit survey where the header condition or the swing has not been confirmed in the field, the Universal arm version of the 5700 lets one part number be stocked for both conditions; where a facility has already standardized on a mount side, the dedicated arm versions of the 5700 and the matching LCN Benchmark model both address it.
5) What do I use to activate a Norton Rixson 5700 operator, and do I need the radio frequency option?
Activation on the 5700 Series can be a hardwired door switch, a wave-to-open sensor, or a radio frequency device. RF is an ordering choice, offered with or without, and it is the one to take when you want wireless push plates or transmitters instead of pulling low voltage wire from the actuator location back to the operator, common on a retrofit where the wall is finished and fishing wire across an opening is the expensive part. Wave-to-open plates are the touchless route where hand contact is the concern, as in patient areas or public restrooms.
6) Will a Norton Rixson 5700 operator hold the door open, and can I slow down how fast it closes?
Hold open is not a feature of the 5700 Series, it will not park the leaf in the open position. What it does have is a delay function, so the door can be set to stay open longer through the cycle before it starts to close, which is what most people are actually after on an accessible entrance where someone in a wheelchair or pushing a cart needs more time to clear the opening. Multiple valve control and adjustable spring tension handle the rest of the open-to-close behavior.
7) Is a low energy operator like the Norton Rixson 5700 the right choice for a busy main entrance, or do I need a full automatic door?
Low energy is a different animal from a full automatic entrance. The 5700 Series is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.19, the low energy standard, which means the door opens on a knowing act such as a push plate or wave sensor and swings slowly enough that guarding and guide rails are not part of the package. Full automatic doors fall under a separate standard and bring sensors and safety zones with them. The 5700 is rated for moderate traffic, so it fits an accessible side entry, an interior cross-corridor door, a restroom or a common area door. A high-volume front entrance cycling constantly all day is asking more than a moderate traffic rating covers.
8) I need a power operator for a heavy exterior door. How does the Norton Rixson 5700 compare to the LCN 6440 COMPACT?
Door weight is the deciding number. The 5700 Series is rated to 250 lbs and 28 to 48 inches of door width. The LCN 6440 COMPACT and the 6440XP are both rated for 185 lb doors, so a heavy exterior leaf with glass or a full lite kit can land above what the 6440 covers and inside what the 5700 covers. Both run on 24VDC. If the door is under 185 lbs, either family is in range and the choice comes down to mounting and header conditions rather than capacity.
9) Does the Norton Rixson 5700 power operator meet ADA requirements for an accessible entrance?
ADA compliant, and built to ANSI/BHMA A156.19, the standard that governs low energy power operated doors. That combination is what a facility usually needs when it is bringing an opening into accessibility compliance, whether that is a healthcare patient area, a school entrance, a government building public door or a multi-tenant residential common area. Pair it with a push plate or wave sensor on the approach side and the opening becomes operable without pulling against closer force.
10) What is the practical difference between an electrohydraulic operator like the Norton Rixson 5700 and an electromechanical one like the LCN 9131 Benchmark?
The Norton Rixson 5700 Series is an electrohydraulic power operator built around the Norton Rixson 1601 adjustable mechanical door closer, with adjustable spring size and multiple valve control governing the door from open to close, plus a delay function. Because the closer body is doing the closing work, the door still functions as a manually operated closer during a power outage. The LCN 9131 and LCN 9142 Benchmark units are electromechanical low energy operators. For a maintenance department, the distinction shows up in setup and service: hydraulic valve adjustments and spring tension on the 5700 are the same kind of adjustment a technician already makes on a surface closer, while an electromechanical unit is adjusted through its own control set. Both approaches are used on ADA openings; the 5700 meets ANSI/BHMA A156.19 and the LCN 9131 is described as ADA compliant.
11) We want touchless activation at a clinic entrance - how does the Norton Rixson 5700 compare with the LCN 6440 COMPACT for that?
The Norton Rixson 5700 Series is ordered with or without radio frequency, and it works with door switches, wave to open sensors, and RF devices, so the touchless actuator scheme is selected as part of the order rather than added as an afterthought. The LCN 6440 COMPACT automatic operator module is described as a 24VDC unit with touchless access for 185 lb doors. Both are low energy operators appropriate for an accessible entrance; the deciding factors between them at a clinic are usually leaf weight, since the 5700 carries doors up to 250 lbs and the 6440 is rated to 185 lbs, and whether you want the RF receiver supplied with the operator, which is an ordering option on the 5700.
12) The spec calls out obstacle detection on the operator - which unit should I be quoting?
The Cal-Royal 8600 Series low energy automatic swing door operator calls out obstacle detection by name, so where that phrase appears as a line item on a specification or a submittal, the 8600 Series is the one to price against it. Where the spec is written around ADA compliance, ANSI/BHMA A156.19, and a fire rated opening instead, the Norton Rixson 5700 Series is the closer match: it is ADA compliant, meets ANSI/BHMA A156.19, and carries UL 10C positive pressure and UL-cUL fire ratings up to 3 hours. Read the operator paragraph of the specification carefully before substituting, because these two requirements are written by different specifiers for different reasons and are approved on different grounds.
13) The DORMA ED900 I was quoted is push side top jamb mount for a single door - what do I use if the opening will only take a pull side operator?
The DORMA ED900 as configured is a push side top jamb mount low energy swing door operator for a single door application, so the header has to accept a push side installation. The Norton Rixson 5700 Series is non-handed and is available with a Rigid Arm for pull side mounting, or with the Universal arm that goes on either side, which is the version to specify when a soffit condition, a transom, or an existing header forces the operator to the pull side of the opening. Confirm the ceiling and frame clearances on the pull side before ordering, since the arm on that side sweeps through a different path than a push side arm.
14) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 5700 operator come in, and will the cover match the closers already on my other doors?
Four finishes are offered on the 5700 Series: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder. 689 and 690 are the two standard architectural finishes you will most often find on existing closers in a commercial building, so matching a fleet of openings usually means one of those. The suede powder options in black and white are for painted frames and storefront where a sprayed finish reads better than anodized. The unit takes a full cover, so the mechanism is concealed rather than exposed on the header.
15) Do I need to order a power cord with the Norton Rixson 5700 operator?
Power cord is a separate ordering choice on the 5700 Series, offered with or without. Take the cord version when the operator will plug into a receptacle in or near the header, which is common on interior retrofits where an outlet is already there. Skip it when an electrician is hardwiring the unit into a junction box, which is the usual arrangement on new construction and on exterior openings. Either way the unit runs on a 24VDC onboard supply rated 1.1A.
16) Both the Norton Rixson 5700 and the DORMA ED50LE are called heavy duty - what separates them for a moderate traffic interior opening?
The DORMA ED50LE is a medium to heavy duty low energy swing door operator and carries a heavy duty duty level. The Norton Rixson 5700 Series is also rated heavy duty, is classified for commercial use at a moderate traffic rating, and is supplied with a full cover. On a moderate traffic interior door such as an office corridor or a common area entrance, both fall in the same duty class, so the selection usually comes down to leaf weight and mounting: the 5700 covers 28 inch to 48 inch widths up to 250 lbs, is non-handed for push or pull side, and includes a 24VDC 1.1A onboard supply that can power and coordinate an electric strike and other door accessories on the same opening.
17) Is the SDC AUTOP a like for like swap for a Norton Rixson 5700, or will the install change?
Both are low energy automatic door operators, but the control side is not the same. The SDC AUTOP Series is a microprocessor controlled low energy automatic door operator, so its opening behavior and timing are set through its control. The Norton Rixson 5700 Series is electrohydraulic, built on the Norton Rixson 1601 mechanical closer with adjustable spring size, multiple valve control, and a delay function, and it is set the way a technician sets a surface closer. Plan on new templating and wiring rather than a straight box swap: the arm configuration on the 5700 is chosen as double lever push side, rigid pull side, or universal, and the 5700 supplies 24VDC at 1.1A onboard for strikes and accessories, so the header prep and the low voltage runs need to be verified against whichever unit is actually installed.
