Norton Rixson 5200 Series Low Energy Power Operator
The Norton Rixson 5200 Series is an electromechanical low energy power operator engineered for interior, non-fire-rated commercial doors. It runs on 120 VAC / 24VDC and is configured via built-in WiFi — no laptop cable or proprietary programmer required. ANSI/BHMA A156.19 certified, UL 325/991 listed, and ADA compliant out of the box. Five arm configurations cover rigid pull-side, double-lever push-side, flush-mount push-side, and universal low-ceiling or flush-mount installations, so one platform fits most commercial openings.
Key Features
- WiFi Programming: Configure delay, hold-open time, power-close force, and lock interface wirelessly — no proprietary tool required.
- Dual Power Output: 120 VAC, 3A, 60Hz input; 24VDC @ 0.4A auxiliary output for electric strikes, locks, or RF receivers.
- Three-Position Selector Switch: ON (monitors function inputs), H/O (infinite hold-open), OFF (manual closer mode — disables all inputs).
- Electronic Backcheck: Cushions the door automatically when opened forcefully, protecting the frame and hardware.
- Selectable Power Close: Adds closing force to overcome weather stripping, carpet, or threshold resistance that would prevent latching.
- Flexible Activation: Wall switch, radio frequency device, or manual push/pull — supports touchless entry configurations.
- Delay Function: Adjustable motor-activation delay for controlled open sequences.
- ADA Compliant: Opening force and speed settings meet ADA requirements for accessible door operation.
- Heavy Duty / Moderate Traffic Rating: Built for commercial environments with consistent daily use.
- Full Cover: Enclosed housing protects internal components and provides a clean architectural finish.
- 2-Year Limited Warranty
Arm Configurations
- 5211 — Rigid Arm, Pull Side: Standard surface-mount on the pull (non-hinge) side; most common configuration for single-swing doors.
- 5231 — Double Lever Arm, Push Side: Parallel-arm mount on the push (hinge) side; ideal when door swings toward the operator.
- 5241 — Universal, Push or Pull Side, Low Ceiling: Compact arm geometry for installations with limited overhead clearance.
- 5261 — Double Lever Arm, Push Side, Flush Mount: Push-side parallel arm with flush soffit mounting for a recessed, low-profile appearance.
- 5271 — Universal, Push or Pull Side, Flush Mount: Maximum flexibility — mounts flush on either side, accommodating push or pull swing direction.
