Norton Rixson RIX504 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 504 vestibule switch work with my Norton low energy door operator?
The 504 works with all Norton Rixson low energy operators except the 5800. That covers the 5600, 5700, 6000 and 6300 Series. If you're running an 5800, this isn't the switch for that job.
2) What does a vestibule switch actually do in a two-door entry?
A vestibule has two sets of automatic doors, an exterior pair and an interior pair. The 504 carries two SPDT momentary switches on one plate so a single actuation point can drive both operators, rather than putting a separate actuator on each door. That's the whole reason for the dual switch configuration.
3) Is the Norton Rixson 504 a push plate actuator or a switch plate?
It's a switch plate, not a push plate. Two SPDT momentary switches sit behind a stainless steel face with blue lettering, mounted in a 2-gang box. If what the job actually calls for is a large wall-mounted push plate people hit with a hip or elbow, that's a different device, such as the Dortronics 5286 Series push plate exit release or the 5287 Series heavy duty push button.
4) For an infection control area where staff cannot touch a wall switch, what should be used instead of a mechanical vestibule switch?
Use a no-touch actuator. The RCI 910TC Series is a touchless actuator with 433 MHz remote control operating on 12/24 VDC, the Locknetics WS-200 / WS-200-MB is a flush mount wave switch, and the RCI 913 is a microwave motion switch using Doppler radar technology for sterile environments. Cal-Royal's 8633-SW is a microwave cell switch supplied with both single and double gang black faceplates. All four actuate on presence or a hand wave rather than a physical press, which is the operative difference from the Norton Rixson 504, whose two SPDT switches are momentary contacts a user depresses. Hand surgery suites, isolation corridors, and clean rooms are where that distinction decides the specification.
5) Is a Schlage 7764 or 7766 SPDT switch a substitute for a Norton Rixson 504?
No. The Schlage Electronics 7764 and 7766 are magnetic door position switches, single pole double throw, the 7764 concealed flush mount and the 7766 surface mount. They share the SPDT contact form with the Norton Rixson 504, and that is where the resemblance stops. A door position switch reports whether the door is closed; it changes state on its own when the leaf moves. The 504 is a vestibule switch a person operates to command a low energy operator, and its compatibility is stated as all low energy operators except the 5800. Position switches and actuating switches sit on opposite ends of the same circuit, so ordering one against the other leaves the job without an input device.
6) What actuator holds up outdoors when a stainless vestibule switch plate is going on an exterior wall?
Two Dortronics options are built for exposure. The 5277-PZL Series is a weather proof heavy duty touch sensitive piezo push button with a dual-color illuminated ring, and the WR5276-HD22 Series is a heavy duty water proof switch with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button. Both are specified for wet locations. The Norton Rixson 504 is a commercial vestibule switch with a stainless steel face plate and blue letters, built for the interior vestibule wall where the 2-gang box sits inside the weather line. On a drive-up entry, a courtyard door, or any actuator on the wet side of the envelope, the weather rated Dortronics units are the ones that belong there.
7) What are the electrical ratings on the Norton Rixson 504 switches?
Each of the two switches is rated 15 amp at 125 VAC and is UL listed. That's the contact rating, so anything you're switching through the 504 has to stay inside it. Confirm the operator's control circuit draw against that before you wire it in.
8) Are the switches on the 504 momentary or maintained?
Momentary, both of them. Press and release sends one pulse to the operator and the contact returns to rest. If you need a switch that holds a state, for example latching a door open or arming a circuit until someone turns it back, a keyswitch like the Detex CS-400 Series is the different kind of device to look at.
9) Can I mount the Norton Rixson 504 vestibule switch outdoors or in a wet location?
No. The 504 is a commercial interior device with a stainless face plate in a 2-gang box, with no weather rating stated for it. For an exterior actuation point, look at a switch built for it, such as the Dortronics 5277-PZL weatherproof piezo switch or the WR5276-HD22 Series waterproof switch with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button.
10) Can I use the Norton Rixson 504 as a request-to-exit switch on a card access door?
The 504 is built to actuate low energy door operators, not to signal a lock. SPDT contacts can carry a request-to-exit signal electrically, but this device is a wall switch for an operator. For request-to-exit on a cylindrical lock, the Command Access REXKIT-CL field installable kit for CL180 Series locks puts an SPDT switch in the lock itself, and the Locknetics CSW-100 or CSW-200 is a flush mount concealed desk release with an SPDT switch for a remote release point.
11) When the requirement is keyed control of a vestibule rather than open push button control, what takes the place of a momentary switch plate?
The Detex CS-400 Series is an electronic keyswitch line with LED indicators for access control systems, and it answers a requirement the Norton Rixson 504 does not. The 504 is an open momentary control: two SPDT switches on a stainless face plate that anyone at the wall can press. A CS-400 keyswitch restricts who can send that command to whoever carries the key, and its LED gives a local state indication at the device. On after-hours vestibules, staff-only entries, and any opening where an unrestricted wall button would be a security exception, the keyswitch is the correct specification.
12) What alternative gives a timed hold or status indication that a plain momentary switch does not?
The Locknetics TS-100 is a dual LED status indicator touch switch with a programmable timer. The programmable timer sets how long the output stays active after actuation, and the dual LEDs show state at the device itself. The Norton Rixson 504 is momentary: its two SPDT switches make contact only while pressed, and timing on that arrangement is handled by the operator or a separate control. On an entrance where the hold-open interval needs to be adjusted at the switch, or where staff need to see the current state from across the lobby, the TS-100 is the device that carries those functions.
13) Is stainless steel a good choice for a vestibule switch plate in a healthcare or high traffic entry?
Stainless resists corrosion and cleaning chemicals, which is why the 504 uses it for the face plate in vestibules that see constant traffic and frequent wipe downs. The blue lettering stays legible on the stainless. For hands-free entries where nobody should touch the plate at all, a touchless actuator like the RCI 910TC Series or a microwave motion switch like the RCI 913 is the direction to go instead.
14) What model do I order for the Norton Rixson 504 vestibule switch?
One configuration only, model RIX504. There's no finish, handing or size to specify: it ships as the dual SPDT momentary switch on the 5 by 4-3/4 inch stainless plate. Order it by the 504 model number and you have the whole assembly.
15) Does the Norton Rixson 504 tell me whether the door is open or closed?
No. The 504 is a commanding device: you actuate it, it pulses the operator. It reports nothing back about door position. For monitoring, a magnetic door position switch is the separate part, concealed flush mount as the Schlage Electronics 7764 or surface mount as the 7766, both single pole double throw.
16) Does an audible alert device do the same job as a vestibule switch on a monitored entrance?
No. The RCI 903 Series is an audible alert with a tamper-resistant design rated 80 to 96 dB. It annunciates a condition; it does not send an operator command. The Norton Rixson 504 is the input side of the entrance, two UL listed SPDT momentary switches rated 15 amp at 125 VAC on a stainless face plate, and it is what a user presses to run the door. A monitored vestibule frequently carries both devices, an actuator to open and a sounder to alert, and substituting the 903 for the 504 leaves the entrance with an alarm and no way to operate the door.
