Norton Rixson 7210MPSO LH 24VDC 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Norton Rixson 7200 operator run on 120VAC or 24VDC?
Both are orderable. Voltage is a selection you make on the 7200 Series, 120VAC or 24VDC, so match it to the power you are pulling to the header. Decide it before you rough in the wiring, because the unit takes concealed or surface wiring and the concealed route is hard to change afterward. The install also wants a minimum 4 inch ceiling clearance above the frame for the wiring access and future service.
2) Is the 7200 operator a push side or pull side unit?
Either, and the arm assembly you pick is what decides it. Push side options are a double lever arm with an 11 inch arm or a double lever arm with a 13-1/2 inch main arm. Pull side options are a rigid slide track arm, a connected free swing slide track, a double egress arm and slide track, and an overhead concealed version with a rigid slide arm and track. Measure your reveal and confirm which side the operator can sit on before choosing, since the arm is not interchangeable after the fact.
3) What happens to the Norton Rixson 7200 door when the power goes out or the fire alarm trips?
It closes. The solenoid de-energizes on power loss, so a door being held open releases and closes under spring power, and the same happens when a fire alarm signal drops the circuit. That is the behavior a life safety inspector is looking for on a hold open device in a rated corridor, and it is why the hold open function is allowed on doors that otherwise have to stay closed.
4) Is the Norton Rixson 7200 operator ANSI Grade 1 and can I use it on a fire rated door?
Grade 1 and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.15, the standard that covers closer holder release devices. It is a commercial rated unit with a metal cover. For fire door use, the fail safe behavior is the relevant part: the solenoid de-energizes and the door closes when the alarm signals, which is what a rated opening requires of a hold open device.
5) What low energy operator can be used instead of the Norton Rixson 7200 when only push side mounting is possible?
The Norton Rixson 7200 already covers push side openings itself - its arm assembly choices include a Push Side Double Lever Arm with an 11 inch arm and a Push Side Double Lever Arm with a 13-1/2 inch main arm, alongside the pull side rigid slide track, connected free swing slide track, double egress, and overhead concealed rigid slide arm options. If the specification calls for a dedicated push side unit rather than a dual-mount platform, the LCN 9142 Benchmark is a low-energy electromechanical automatic door operator built for push side mount, and the DORMA ED900 is configured for push side top jamb mount on a single door application. Handing still has to be confirmed either way; the 7200 is ordered Left Hand or Right Hand.
6) Is there a pull side low energy operator equivalent to the Norton Rixson 7200?
The Norton Rixson 7200 is supplied with four pull side arm assemblies - rigid slide track arm, connected free swing slide track, double egress arm and slide track, and overhead concealed with rigid slide arm and track. The closest single-purpose pull side peer is the LCN 9131 Benchmark, a low-energy electromechanical automatic door operator with pull side mount and ADA compliance. The practical difference for a door already prepped for the 7200 is the arm range: the 7200 carries the double egress and connected free swing arm variants within the same series, so a double egress pair or a free swing application stays on one platform.
7) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 7200 and the LCN 6440 COMPACT operator?
They are built around different assumptions. The LCN 6440 COMPACT is an automatic operator module running on 24VDC power with touchless access, rated for 185 lb doors, and the 6440XP COMPACT is the 24VDC low-energy version with the same 185 lb door capacity. The Norton Rixson 7200 is an electromechanical closer and holder that can be ordered for 120VAC or 24VDC, sized by fixed spring size 3, 4, 5, or 6 rather than by a stated door weight, with selective hold open adjustable up to 175 degrees and adjustable sweep and latch speed valves with backcheck. Where the door weight is the governing number, the 6440 states it directly; where the job is written to a spring size and a hold open angle, the 7200 is specified that way.
8) What is a comparable low energy swing door operator to the Norton Rixson 7200?
Several other low energy operators cover the same job. The LCN 9131 Benchmark is a pull side mount electromechanical operator and the LCN 9142 Benchmark is its push side counterpart, so they split by mounting side where the 7200 covers both through its arm choice. The Dormakaba ED100LE and the DORMA ED50LE, a heavy duty unit, are the European style header operators. For a compact module on a lighter leaf, the LCN 6440 and 6440XP COMPACT operators run on 24VDC and are rated to 185 lb doors. The Cal-Royal 8600 Series adds obstacle detection and the SDC AUTOP Series uses microprocessor control.
9) Which spring size do I order for a Norton Rixson 7200 on a heavy exterior door?
Spring size on the 7200 is fixed, not adjustable, so you size it at order time and it stays that way. Sizes 3, 4, 5 and 6 are available, and the bigger the number the heavier and wider the door it is meant to close. Size 3 suits lighter interior leaves, 5 and 6 are the ones for heavy or wide doors where wind and stack pressure fight the closer. Because it cannot be dialed up later, err toward the heavier spring on an exterior opening.
10) Can the 7200 operator be used on a pair of double egress doors?
Yes, there is a pull side double egress arm and slide track assembly built for exactly that, where the two leaves swing in opposite directions and a standard arm geometry will not work. Order one operator per leaf and pick the handing to suit each. If the pair swings the same way instead, the standard pull side rigid slide track arm or a push side double lever arm applies.
11) What is the free swing option on the Norton Rixson 7200 and when would I use it?
The connected free swing slide track arm is a pull side assembly that lets the door move freely by hand while powered, then closes it when the circuit drops. It is the choice for patient room doors and resident rooms where staff and occupants push the door constantly and a spring pushing back all day is a nuisance, but the door still has to self close on alarm.
12) Should I use a low energy operator like the Norton Rixson 7200 or just a heavy duty door closer?
A closer only closes. The 7200 is electromechanical, so it closes the door, holds it open where you want it up to 175 degrees, and releases on alarm or power loss, all from one unit at the header. If nobody needs the door held open and there is no alarm interface, a plain surface closer is the cheaper and simpler answer. Where a door has to stand open during deliveries or be operated by an actuator, the operator is what does that job, and it still gives you adjustable sweep and latch speed plus backcheck the way a closer does.
13) I only need a push side operator on one door. Is the Norton Rixson 7200 overkill?
Not really, but there is a narrower option. The 7200 handles a single push side door with the double lever arm, 11 inch or 13-1/2 inch main arm, and you order handing to suit. If you want a unit built specifically for that one case, the DORMA ED900 push side top jamb mount is sold for single door applications, and the LCN 9142 Benchmark is a push side mount operator. The 7200 earns its place when you also need selective hold open up to 175 degrees or the free swing arm, which are its distinguishing functions.
14) How much clearance do I need above the frame to install a 7200 operator?
Plan on a minimum 4 inch ceiling above the mounting location. That space is for wiring access, concealed or surface, and for getting at the unit later for service. On tight soffits and low headers that dimension is the thing that kills the install, so check it before the operator is ordered rather than at the lift.
15) Do the Cal-Royal 8600 or SDC AUTOP operators do the same thing as the Norton Rixson 7200?
They serve the same opening but are described by different control features. The Cal-Royal 8600 Series is a low energy automatic swing door operator with obstacle detection, and the SDC AUTOP Series is a low energy automatic door operator with microprocessor control. The Norton Rixson 7200 is an electromechanical closer and holder whose control is mechanical at the door: adjustable sweep and latch speed valves, backcheck cushioning, a position valve, and selective hold open adjustable up to 175 degrees, with the solenoid de-energizing on power failure so the door closes when a fire alarm signals. If a submittal calls out obstacle detection or microprocessor control by name, those are the units that state it.
16) Can I match the Norton Rixson 7200 operator to dark bronze or black storefront?
Eight finishes are offered: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 flat black, 694 medium bronze, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. For a dark bronze aluminum storefront, 690 is the direct match; for black anodized or black painted entrances, choose 693 flat black or BSP black suede powder depending on whether the surrounding hardware reads smooth or textured. The cover itself is metal.
17) Does the Norton Rixson 7200 operator come with a wireless or remote activation option?
Radio frequency is an orderable option on the 7200, so you can specify the unit with RF or without. Choose with RF where the activation is a wireless push plate or fob and running wire to the actuator location is impractical. Where you are hardwiring actuators or tying into an access control system, the non-RF unit is the one to order.
