Norton Rixson RIX523 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 523 safety sensor work with my low energy door operator?
The 523 works with all Norton Rixson low energy operators except the 5800. It is built specifically for integration with the 6000 and 6300 Series operators, so if your opening runs one of those, the sensor wires straight into the operator. If you are running a 5800, this is the wrong sensor for that opening.
2) What does the Norton Rixson 523 sensor actually detect, and where does it mount?
It mounts directly on the door leaf and covers the entire face of a single door, detecting a person or obstruction in the swing path so the operator can stop or reverse. Because it rides on the door itself, there is no separate header bracket or mounting kit to source, and the coverage area stays aligned with the door no matter where it is in the swing.
3) Is one 523 sensor enough for a pair of doors?
No. Each 523 covers the face of a single door, so a pair of automatic doors needs one sensor per leaf, each tied to the operator driving that leaf.
4) How much space do I need on the door for the Norton Rixson 523 sensor?
The unit measures 5-1/2 x 3-1/3 x 1 inches (width x height x depth as the manufacturer states it). The 1 inch depth is what matters most on a pull-side install, since that is how far it stands proud of the door face, so check it against your frame stop and any adjacent wall or sidelite clearance before you drill.
5) Does the 523 need its own power supply, or does it run off the door operator?
It is an electronic sensor that integrates with the connected Norton Rixson operator, and the install sequence calls for verifying electrical requirements against your available power and wiring it to the operator per the manufacturer wiring diagram. Plan on pulling power and signal wiring through the door to the header, which usually means a door loop or an electric hinge on the opening.
6) How do I order the Norton Rixson 523 door-mounted safety sensor?
It is a single catalog item, ordered as model RIX523. There is no handing, finish, or size selection to specify on the sensor itself, so the decision that matters is confirming your operator is a low energy Norton Rixson unit other than the 5800.
7) Do I still need a header-mounted presence sensor if I install the 523?
The 523 handles the door face, meaning the swing path of the leaf itself. It does not cover the approach area in front of or behind the opening, so if your application calls for approach or threshold detection as well, that is a separate device. For the door-swing side of the safety scheme on a 6000 or 6300 Series operator, this is the part.
8) Is the Norton Rixson 523 sensor rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential part?
Commercial. It is catalogued and built for commercial automatic door systems, and typical installs are healthcare entrances, schools, retail entries, government buildings, industrial facilities, and multi-tenant residential common doors.
