Norton Rixson 506 NOR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 506/533 push switch work with my low energy door operator?
The 506/533 push switch works with all Norton Rixson low energy operators except the 5800 Series, and it is called out specifically for the 5600, 5700, 6000 and 6300 Series operators. If the opening you are retrofitting runs a 5800 operator, this actuator is the wrong part for it.
2) What is the difference between the hard wired and RF versions of the Norton Rixson 506/533 push switch?
Two system choices: hard wired and radio frequency. Hard wired runs a direct wired connection back to the operator, which is what you want on new construction or anywhere you can get conduit or wire into the wall. The RF version transmits to the operator instead, so the actuator can go on a wall you cannot fish, across a lobby, or on a remote column. Both are the same 6 inch round stainless push plate and both run on a 9V battery.
3) I have several automatic entrances in one building. Can I standardize on the Norton Rixson 506/533 push switch across all of them?
Across Norton Rixson low energy operators, yes, with one exception: every low energy operator except the 5800 Series takes this actuator, including the 5600, 5700, 6000 and 6300 Series. Survey the openings for 5800 operators first. You can also mix hard wired and RF units on the same standard plate, so an opening where you cannot run wire still gets the identical 6 inch stainless face as the rest of the building.
4) What is the closest alternative to the Norton Rixson 506/533 push switch if I need a large round push plate rather than a small button?
The Norton Rixson 506/533 is a 6 inch round push switch with a stainless steel face and blue letters, flush mounted, and it works with all low energy operators except the 5800. If you want a plate-style actuator from another maker, the Dortronics 5286 Series is a push plate exit release carrying "Push to Exit" text, and the RCI 916 Series is a tamper-resistant push button switch with a blue handicap logo on a 1-3/4 inch button. The 916 gives a much smaller strike area than a 6 inch round plate, so for a wheelchair-height actuator where a user pushes with a forearm or elbow, the 5286 plate is the nearer match in form.
5) I want a no-touch actuator instead of a push switch for a healthcare door. What should I use?
The Norton Rixson 506/533 requires physical contact - it is a push-to-open switch with a 6 inch round face. For hands-free activation, the Locknetics WS-200 and WS-200-MB are flush mount wave switches, the RCI 910TC Series is a touchless actuator with 433 MHz remote control running on 12/24 VDC, 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 in the 8600 Series supplied with single and double gang black faceplates. Pick the wave switch for a short deliberate hand gesture and the microwave units for detection as someone approaches.
6) Is the Schlage 7764 or 7766 a substitute for a Norton Rixson 506/533 push switch?
No. The Schlage Electronics 7764 and 7766 are magnetic door position switches - the 7764 concealed flush mount, the 7766 surface mount, both single pole double throw - and their job is to report whether the door is open or closed. The Norton Rixson 506/533 is a push-to-open actuator a user presses to command an operator to cycle. They sit on opposite ends of the same opening and one does not replace the other; a job that monitors door position and also needs push-button activation takes both.
7) I need a keyed or concealed release rather than an open push switch. What are the options next to the Norton Rixson 506/533?
The 506/533 is an open 6 inch round push face any passerby can operate, which is what you want at a public accessible entrance and not what you want where activation must be restricted. For key control, the Detex CS-400 Series is an electronic keyswitch with LED indicators for access control systems. For a release the public never sees, the Locknetics CSW-100 and CSW-200 are flush mount concealed desk releases with an SPDT switch, mounted under a reception counter. The Detex unit puts the release behind a key; the Locknetics units put it behind staff at a desk.
8) My wall opening is a standard single gang box. Is the 6 inch Norton Rixson 506/533 going to fit, or is there a narrower switch?
The Norton Rixson 506/533 is a 6 inch round flush mount face, so it needs a wall area wider than a single gang plate. Narrower peers include the Dortronics 5287 Series heavy duty push button, a 1-1/2 inch wide push plate on a 3 inch wide back plate reading "Push to Exit", the RCI 916 Series tamper-resistant push button at 1-3/4 inch, and the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button. The Cal-Royal 8633-SW ships with both single and double gang black faceplates if you want to match either box.
9) Does the Norton Rixson 506/533 actuator need a battery, or does it run off the operator?
It runs on a 9V battery, and it is rated at 15 amp @ 125 VAC. Plan the 9V change into your PM schedule the same way you would a wireless lock, because the actuator will stop calling the operator when the cell dies even though the door itself still works manually.
10) Is the Norton Rixson 6 inch round push switch a surface mount or a flush mount plate?
Flush mount. The 6 inch round stainless plate sits low profile against the wall surface, so you need a box or cavity behind it rather than simply screwing it to a finished wall. Confirm you have wall depth at the actuator location before you cut.
11) What is a good alternative to the Norton Rixson 506/533 if I want a touchless actuator instead of a push plate?
For hands free operation, look at the RCI 910TC Series touchless actuator, which pairs with a 433 MHz remote control and runs 12/24 VDC, or the Locknetics WS-200 wave switch, also a flush mount. Both replace the push action entirely, which matters in healthcare and food service where nobody wants to touch the plate. The 506/533 stays the better pick when you want a large, obvious push target that anyone understands without a sign.
12) Can I use the Norton Rixson 506/533 to tell whether the door is open or closed?
No. It is an activation switch, not a monitoring device. For door position monitoring, use a magnetic door position switch: the Schlage Electronics 7764 is concealed flush mount with a single pole double throw contact, and the 7766 is the surface mount version of the same thing.
13) The Norton Rixson 506/533 is going on an exterior door. What holds up better outdoors?
The 506/533 has a stainless steel housing and is built for commercial use, but its stated environment is flush wall mounting on Norton Rixson low energy operator systems. Where the actuator is exposed to weather, the Dortronics 5277-PZL Series is a weather proof heavy duty touch sensitive piezo push button with a dual-color illuminated ring, and the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 Series is a heavy duty water proof switch with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button. The 5277-PZL has no moving plunger and adds a lit ring for status; the WR5276-HD22 gives a small stainless button that resists abuse at an exterior gate or dock.
14) What actuator gives a status indication or timed hold that a Norton Rixson 506/533 does not?
The 506/533 signals with blue letters on the stainless face and nothing more - there is no indicator lamp or on-board timing. The Locknetics TS-100 is a touch switch with dual LED status indicators and a programmable timer, so the hold time is set at the switch instead of at the operator or controller. The Dortronics 5277-PZL adds a dual-color illuminated ring around the button for state feedback, and the Detex CS-400 Series keyswitches carry LED indicators. If a guard or receptionist needs to see the door state from across a lobby, those three give a visual the 506/533 does not.
15) Can I use a request-to-exit switch in the lock instead of a wall-mounted Norton Rixson 506/533?
They answer different needs. 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 when the lever is turned, so the user still operates the door by hand. The Norton Rixson 506/533 is what a user presses to have a low energy operator swing the door for them, and it works with all low energy operators except the 5800 Series. On a powered accessible opening you generally want the push switch; the REXKIT-CL suits an opening where the exit signal only has to shunt an alarm or drop a mag lock.
16) Does the RCI 903 do the same thing as a Norton Rixson 506/533?
No. The RCI 903 Series is an audible alert with a tamper-resistant design rated 80 to 96 dB - it makes noise about a condition, it does not actuate a door. The Norton Rixson 506/533 is the push switch that tells the operator to open. If a specification lists both, they are separate line items on the same opening rather than alternates.
17) Is the Norton Rixson 506/533 push plate marked for handicap or accessible entry use?
The stainless plate carries blue lettering, which is the standard visual treatment for an accessible entry actuator. It is a commercial grade device, sized at 6 inches round so a user can hit it with a forearm, elbow or wheelchair armrest rather than needing to press a small button.
