Norton Rixson 500-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 500/530 switch post work with my 5800 low energy operator?
No. The 500/530 switch post works with all Norton Rixson low energy operators except the 5800. If your opening runs a 5800, this post is the wrong activation device for it. On 5600, 5700, 6000 and 6300 Series operators it is a match.
2) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 500 and the 530 switch post?
Same post, different activation. The 500 is the hardwired version, so the actuator switch runs back to the operator on wire you pull. The 530 carries a radio frequency transmitter running on a 9 volt battery, which is the one to pick when you cannot trench or conduit a run out to the post. Pick the transmitter option, hard wired or radio frequency, when you order.
3) Do I need to run power to the location for a Norton Rixson 530 switch post?
Not to the post itself. The 530 uses a 9 volt battery and an RF transmitter, so the only wiring is at the operator end where the receiver lives. That is what makes it workable across a sidewalk or a finished lobby floor. The hardwired 500 does need a wire run from the post back to the operator, routed per the operator's wiring diagram.
4) How big is the Norton Rixson 500/530 bollard switch post, and how heavy is the wall?
The post measures 4 x 6 x 40 inches with a 3/16 inch wall thickness. That 40 inch height puts the actuator at push height for a surface mount above ground, and the 3/16 inch wall is what lets it stand up in a traffic path like a healthcare or retail entry vestibule where carts and chairs hit it.
5) Can the Norton Rixson 530 RF switch post be used outside in cold weather?
The RF operation is rated from -4 F to 122 F, so the wireless transmitter holds up through a normal northern winter and a hot exterior entry. Below -4 F you are outside the rated range and the hardwired 500 configuration is the safer call, since it does not depend on a battery transmitter.
6) Is the Norton Rixson 500/530 switch post a replacement part or a new install item?
Both. It is carried as a Norton Rixson replacement part for commercial low energy operator systems, so it drops in when an existing bollard on an automatic entry has been struck or corroded out, and it is equally the item you specify on a new low energy opening that needs a remote actuator away from the door.
