Norton Rixson 505 NOR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 505/531 push switch work with my Norton low energy door operator?
The 505/531 push plate works with all Norton Rixson low energy operators except the 5800. That covers the 5600, 5700, 6000, and 6300 Series. If your opening runs a 5800, this actuator is not the one to order.
2) What is the difference between the hard wired and RF versions of the Norton Rixson 505/531 push switch?
Two configurations are sold: hard wired and radio frequency. The hard wired version runs a physical circuit back to the operator, which is what you want on new construction or anywhere you can open the wall. The RF version transmits to the operator instead, so it is the one to spec on a retrofit where fishing wire through finished block or tile is the expensive part. Both use the same 6 inch by 6 inch stainless plate, so the wall prep and appearance are identical either way. You pick one at order time; it is not field-convertible.
3) What size wall plate does the Norton Rixson 505/531 actuator use, and how does it mount?
It is a 6 inch W x 6 inch H stainless steel plate, flush mounted. Plan the rough-in for a flush box with room behind for wiring access. The square 6 x 6 format is the larger of the common actuator sizes, so if you are standardizing across a building it will not drop into a prep cut for a small round or 1-1/2 inch push button without a filler or new plate.
4) Is the Norton Rixson 505/531 a door position switch or a request-to-exit device?
Neither. The 505/531 is a wall-mounted push-to-open actuator: a person presses the plate and the door operator cycles. It does not sense whether the door is closed, and it does not mount in a lock. If you need door status monitoring, that is a magnetic door position switch such as the Schlage Electronics 7764 for concealed flush mount or the 7766 for surface mount. If you need a request-to-exit signal generated from the lock itself, the Command Access REXKIT-CL is a field installable REX switch kit for CL180 Series cylindrical locks with an SPDT configuration.
5) Will a Schlage Electronics 7764 or 7766 door position switch work in place of the Norton Rixson 505/531?
No - those do two different jobs. The Schlage Electronics 7764 is a magnetic door position switch, concealed flush mount, single pole double throw, and the 7766 is the surface mount version of the same door position switch function. A door position switch reports whether the door is open or closed; it does not initiate anything. The Norton Rixson 505/531 is a push-to-open actuator that the user presses to command the operator, rated 15 amp at 125 VAC. A job that monitors door status and also needs a user-operated activation point takes one of each, not one in place of the other.
6) What electrical load can the Norton Rixson 505/531 push switch handle?
Switching capacity is 15 amps at 125 VAC. That is a line-voltage rated contact, so it will carry the operator control load with margin. Size your conductors and connectors for 15 amps and confirm your supply matches 125 VAC before you land the wiring.
7) Does the Norton Rixson 505/531 push plate keep working if the building loses power?
There is a 9 volt battery backup on the 505/531, so the actuator itself stays live through a power interruption. Worth understanding what that does and does not buy you: it keeps the push switch functioning, not the operator arm. If the operator has no power, pressing the plate will not swing the door.
8) Should I use a push plate actuator or a touchless wave switch on an automatic door?
A push plate like the 505/531 needs contact, which is the reliable choice on a high-traffic entrance where gloved hands and carts are the norm and you want a deliberate, unambiguous activation. Touchless is the better call in clinical or food-handling spaces where hand contact is the issue: the Locknetics WS-200 wave switch and the RCI 913 microwave motion switch both actuate without touch, and the RCI 913 is described for sterile environments. The RCI 910TC touchless actuator pairs a no-touch plate with a 433 MHz remote if you also need remote release.
9) Does the Norton Rixson 505/531 come with the door operator, or do I order that separately?
The 505/531 is an actuator only, the wall control that tells an operator to open. The low energy operator itself is a separate order, as is the mounting box and the wiring. On a typical accessible entrance you are buying two plates, one each side of the door, so count the openings and the sides before you place the order.
10) The actuator location is exposed to weather. Is the Norton Rixson 505/531 the right choice outdoors?
The 505/531 is a flush mounted stainless steel plate specified for commercial door control and is not described with a weather or water rating. For exposed exterior locations, the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 Series is a heavy duty water proof switch with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button, and the Dortronics 5277-PZL Series is a weather proof heavy duty touch sensitive piezo push button with a dual-color illuminated ring. The piezo unit has no moving contact surface, and the illuminated ring gives a visible state cue at the opening.
11) I need the actuator to show status or hold the door for a set time. Does the Norton Rixson 505/531 do that?
The 505/531 is a push switch with a 15 amp at 125 VAC contact and 9 volt battery backup; timing and status indication are handled by the operator or panel it feeds, not by the plate. If the actuator itself has to carry that, the Locknetics TS-100 is a touch switch with a dual LED status indicator and a programmable timer, and the Detex CS-400 Series is an electronic keyswitch with LED indicators for access control systems - the keyswitch also restricts who can activate the door, which a plain push plate does not.
12) Is the Norton Rixson 505/531 push plate suitable for a hospital or school corridor?
Built for commercial duty, with a stainless steel plate that resists corrosion and handles wipe-down cleaning. Blue lettering on the plate gives the visual identification people look for at an accessible entrance. Named applications include healthcare access control, educational facility safety systems, government and municipal buildings, and multi-tenant residential entries.
13) What exactly does the 505/531 designation on the Norton Rixson push switch mean when I am ordering?
505/531 is the Norton Rixson model designation covering this 6 x 6 stainless push plate control in both of its forms. The one thing you have to state on the order is the system: hard wired or radio frequency. Everything else, plate size, finish, and the blue lettering, is common to both.
14) Can the RCI 903 audible alert be used as a substitute actuator on an automatic door?
No. The RCI 903 Series is an audible alert with a tamper-resistant design rated 80-96dB - it annunciates a condition rather than commanding a door. The Norton Rixson 505/531 is the user-operated push switch that activates the operator, with hard wired and radio frequency versions. On an opening that needs both a local alarm and an activation point, the 903 sits alongside a push switch rather than replacing one.
