Norton Rixson RIX502 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 502 push switch work with my low energy door operator?
The 502 push switch works with all Norton Rixson low energy operators except the 5800. The description names the 5600, 5700, 6000, and 6300 Series specifically. If your opening runs a 5800, this is the wrong actuator for it.
2) Is the Norton Rixson 502 a hardwired switch or does it run on a battery?
Hardwired. There is no battery and no radio in the 502, so it needs a wire run from the switch location back to the operator. That is a point in its favor for a facility that does not want to be changing transmitter batteries on a fleet of doors, and a point against it on a retrofit where you cannot get wire to the push location. If pulling wire is the problem, the RCI 910TC Series touchless actuator uses a 433 MHz remote control instead.
3) I need an exterior actuator at an automatic entrance - can the Norton Rixson 502 go outside?
The Norton Rixson 502 is a flush mount interior-style control switch, 4-1/2 inches square, designed to sit in a single or 2-gang electrical box. For an exposed exterior push point, the Dortronics 5277-PZL is a weather proof heavy duty touch sensitive piezo push button with a dual-color illuminated ring, and the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 is a heavy duty water proof switch with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button. Use the weather rated Dortronics units on the outside face and keep the 502 for the protected interior side.
4) Is a Schlage 7764 or 7766 door position switch a substitute for the Norton Rixson 502?
No. The Schlage Electronics 7764 is a magnetic door position switch in a concealed flush mount, and the 7766 is the surface mount version; both are single pole double throw. Their job is to report whether the door is open or closed. The Norton Rixson 502 is an operator control switch that a user presses to command the door to open, rated 15 amp at 125 VAC. A door position switch will not actuate an operator, and the 502 will not monitor door position, so the two are used together rather than in place of each other.
5) What should I use instead of a push switch if the opening needs a hands-free actuator for infection control?
For a no-touch actuator, the Locknetics WS-200 and WS-200-MB are flush mount wave switches, and the RCI 913 is a microwave motion switch using Doppler radar technology intended for sterile environments. The Cal-Royal 8633-SW is a microwave cell switch supplied with single and double gang black faceplates. The Norton Rixson 502 requires a physical press to operate, so a healthcare corridor or clean area that has to stay touch-free is the case for the wave or motion device rather than the 502.
6) Should I use a push button actuator or a touchless switch for an automatic door?
A push switch like the Norton Rixson 502 requires contact, which is the simplest and cheapest way to trigger an operator and is what most low energy openings use. Go touchless where hands are full or hygiene is the driver: the RCI 913 uses Doppler radar motion sensing for sterile environments, the Locknetics WS-200 is a flush mount wave switch, and the Cal-Royal 8633-SW is a microwave cell switch. The tradeoff is that a no-touch device can trigger on passers-by who did not intend to open the door, where a push plate only fires when someone means it.
7) What is a good alternative to the Norton Rixson 502 if I need a labeled push to exit plate?
The 502 is a plain push switch for operator control and carries no legend. If you need text on the plate, the Dortronics 5286 Series push plate exit release is printed "Push to Exit", and the Dortronics 5287 Series is a heavy duty push button with a 1-1/2 inch wide push plate on a 3 inch wide back plate, also marked "Push to Exit". For an accessibility legend instead, the RCI 916 Series is a tamper-resistant push button in blue with the handicap logo, 1-3/4 inch.
8) Which actuator carries the accessibility symbol if the 502 does not?
The RCI 916 Series is a tamper-resistant push button switch with a handicap logo on a blue 1-3/4 inch button, which is the choice when the drawing calls for a marked barrier-free actuator at the opening. The Norton Rixson 502 is a plain flush mount push switch, 4-1/2 inches square, working with the Norton Rixson 5600, 5700, 6000 and 6300 Series operators. Institutional buyers who standardize on a marked actuator across a campus typically specify the RCI 916 at the door face and use the 502 where an unmarked control is acceptable.
9) What do I use instead of the 502 if the release has to be key operated or hidden at a desk?
Where an open push button would be misused, the Detex CS-400 Series electronic keyswitches with LED indicators restrict operation to a key holder, and the Locknetics CSW-100 and CSW-200 are flush mount concealed desk releases with an SPDT switch for a receptionist or security desk. The Norton Rixson 502 is a press-to-operate switch anyone at the wall can activate, which is the point in a public corridor and the problem in a controlled lobby.
10) Is the Locknetics TS-100 touch switch a drop-in for the Norton Rixson 502?
They are not the same device. The Locknetics TS-100 is a dual LED status indicator touch switch with a programmable timer, so it holds a relay for a set interval and shows status at the switch. The Norton Rixson 502 is a hardwired push switch rated 15 amp at 125 VAC for direct operator control, with no timing or indication function. Choose the TS-100 when the opening needs a timed release and visible status; choose the 502 when the switch is simply commanding a Norton Rixson low energy operator.
11) Does a request-to-exit kit in the lock replace a wall mounted operator switch?
No. The Command Access REXKIT-CL is a field installable request to exit switch kit for CL180 Series cylindrical locks with an SPDT configuration - it signals that someone has turned the lever from the inside, so it suppresses an alarm or releases an electric lock. The Norton Rixson 502 is a wall mounted push switch that commands a Norton Rixson 5600, 5700, 6000 or 6300 Series operator to swing the door. An opening with a low energy operator and an access controlled lock generally needs both.
12) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 502 and the RCI 903 audible alert?
The RCI 903 Series is an audible alert with a tamper-resistant design producing 80 to 96 dB - it is an annunciator, not an actuator, and it makes noise when a condition occurs. The Norton Rixson 502 is a commercial push switch that a user presses to run a door operator, rated 15 amp at 125 VAC. Nothing about the 903 will open a door, so it is an addition to an opening rather than a substitution for the 502.
