Norton Rixson NORTON 565 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What comes in the Norton Rixson 565 kit, and do I need to order anything else to activate the operator?
The 565 ships as a complete wireless activation package: two ADA1019-2 wall push switches, two 548 wireless transmitters (each with a 9V battery included), and one 539 receiver. That covers both sides of an opening, push and pull side, with no hard wire run between the switch locations and the operator. The receiver still ties into the operator itself, so you need a compatible operator already on the door.
2) Can I add automatic door push switches without running wire through a finished wall?
That is what the Norton Rixson 565 is for. The push plates pair to 548 wireless RF transmitters that talk to a single 539 receiver at the operator, so no conduit or wire pull is needed between the actuator locations and the door. Each transmitter runs on a 9V battery, included, which is the tradeoff: battery replacement becomes part of the maintenance routine.
3) Are the push plates in the Norton Rixson 565 kit ADA compliant?
Yes. The kit uses ADA1019-2 wall push switches, which are the ADA compliant actuators in the Norton Rixson line. That matters on an accessible entrance where the automatic operator is the means of compliance and the actuator has to be usable without tight grasping or twisting.
4) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 565 push switch kit and a hardwired push plate like the Dortronics 5286?
The Norton Rixson 565 is a wireless kit: two ADA1019-2 wall push switches, two 548 transmitters with 9V batteries, and one 539 receiver, so the switch talks to the operator over RF instead of through a wire run. The Dortronics 5286 Series is a push plate exit release marked "Push to Exit" and is wired back to what it controls. If you are opening walls or coring a jamb anyway, the 5286 is a direct wired plate; if you cannot get conduit from the switch location to the header, the 565 removes that run.
5) I need a wireless actuator for a door operator but the opening is touchless. What can I use instead of the Norton Rixson 565?
The RCI 910TC Series is a touchless actuator with 433 MHz remote control running on 12/24 VDC, so it gives you an RF path like the 565 kit does without a push plate to contact. The Norton Rixson 565 uses ADA1019-2 wall push switches with 548 transmitters and a 539 receiver, which is a pressed plate. For a hands-free lobby or clinic door, the 910TC is the touchless answer; for a standard push-to-operate entrance, the 565 stays a push switch.
6) I only need a hardwired push plate for exit release, not a wireless operator actuator. What should I look at instead?
The 565 is an operator activation kit and it only drives Norton Rixson low energy operators. For a straight push to exit release on an access controlled door, the Dortronics 5286 Series push plate is the plain wired exit release, and the Dortronics 5287 Series gives you a heavy duty button on a 1-1/2 inch push plate over a 3 inch back plate. Neither of those is an operator actuator, but for release duty they are the simpler part.
7) We want touchless activation instead of a push plate. Is there an alternative to the Norton Rixson 565?
The 565 is a contact push plate kit, so if hands free is the requirement, look at a no touch actuator. The RCI 910TC Series is a touchless actuator with a 433 MHz remote control running on 12/24 VDC, and the Locknetics WS-200 is a flush mount wave switch. For a motion based trigger in a clean environment, the RCI 913 uses Doppler radar. Any of those replaces the push plate function; you still have to confirm the interface to your specific operator.
8) Can I use the Norton Rixson 565 as a request to exit switch on a cylindrical lock?
No. The 565 is a wireless actuator kit for low energy door operators, not a lock mounted REX device. For request to exit signaling off a cylindrical lock, the Command Access REXKIT-CL is a field installable switch kit for CL180 Series cylindrical locks with an SPDT configuration. For a concealed manual release at a desk, the Locknetics CSW-100 and CSW-200 are flush mount SPDT desk releases.
9) Is the Norton Rixson 565 push plate suitable for an exterior door exposed to weather?
The 565 uses ADA1019-2 wall push switches, which are interior style wall actuators; nothing in the kit is rated for wet or washdown locations. For an exposed exterior position, the Dortronics 5277-PZL weatherproof piezo switch or the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 waterproof switch with a 5/8 inch round stainless button are the parts built for that exposure.
10) Will a Schlage Electronics 7764 or 7766 door position switch work in place of the Norton Rixson 565?
No. 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. A door position switch reports whether the door is open or closed; it does not command the operator to cycle. The Norton Rixson 565 is an activation kit: two ADA1019-2 push switches, two 548 transmitters and a 539 receiver that trigger the operator. The two do different jobs and a job that specifies both needs both.
11) The push switch for our operator is going outside in the weather. Is the Norton Rixson 565 the right choice?
The Norton Rixson 565 is a commercial wireless kit with ADA1019-2 wall push switches and 548 transmitters carrying 9V batteries. For an exposed exterior actuator, Dortronics publishes weather-rated switches: 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. Those are wired devices, so plan a conduit path the 565 kit does not require.
12) We want the door to open on approach rather than on a button press. What replaces the Norton Rixson 565 for that?
A motion or presence switch does that job. The RCI 913 is a microwave motion switch using Doppler radar technology for sterile environments, and the Cal-Royal 8633-SW is a microwave cell switch from the 8600 Series supplied with single and double gang black faceplates. The Norton Rixson 565 requires a physical press on one of its ADA1019-2 wall switches to send the RF signal, so choose it when you want deliberate activation rather than automatic triggering on approach.
13) Is there a low-profile alternative to the Norton Rixson 565 wall push switches for a reception desk?
For a staffed desk, the Locknetics CSW-100 and CSW-200 are flush mount concealed desk releases with an SPDT switch, so the release stays out of public view. The Locknetics WS-200 and WS-200-MB are flush mount wave switches for a hands-free press-free release at the same location. The Norton Rixson 565 is built around ADA1019-2 wall push switches meant to be seen and pressed by the public, which is the opposite intent from a concealed desk release.
14) Does the Norton Rixson 565 give me a request-to-exit signal from the lock like the Command Access REXKIT-CL?
No. The Command Access REXKIT-CL is a field installable request to exit switch kit for CL180 Series cylindrical locks with an SPDT configuration, so the signal comes from the lock's own hardware being operated. The Norton Rixson 565 is a separate wall-mounted activation kit with ADA1019-2 push switches, 548 transmitters and a 539 receiver that drives a low energy operator. If the access control system needs a REX at the lock and the entrance also needs an operator actuator, those are two separate line items.
15) We need a keyed switch so only staff can run the operator. What do I order instead of the Norton Rixson 565?
The Detex CS-400 Series is a line of electronic keyswitches with LED indicators for access control systems, which restricts activation to a key holder and shows status at the switch. The Norton Rixson 565 uses ADA1019-2 push switches that anyone can press, which is the intent for a public accessible entrance. Order the CS-400 where activation must be limited to staff, and the 565 where the entrance is meant to be operated by any user.
16) Is the Norton Rixson 565 kit meant for commercial openings or residential doors?
Commercial. The 565 is catalogued for commercial application and is built to pair with Norton Rixson low energy operators used on institutional and commercial entrances, not with residential door openers.
17) Where do I find the wiring diagram and programming steps for the Norton Rixson 565 receiver?
Wiring diagrams and programming instructions for the 565 kit, including pairing the 548 transmitters to the 539 receiver, are in the Norton Rixson Operators Catalog that accompanies the product. The receiver terminates at the operator's actuator input, so the operator series section of that catalog is where the connection detail lives.
18) Is the RCI 903 an alternative to the Norton Rixson 565?
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 565 is a wireless activation kit whose 548 transmitters signal a 539 receiver to run a low energy operator. A door that needs both a local alarm and an accessible actuator takes one of each.
19) Can I get a timed hold-open or status indication at the switch like the Locknetics TS-100 offers?
The Locknetics TS-100 is a dual LED status indicator touch switch with a programmable timer, so the timing and the status lights live in the switch itself. The Norton Rixson 565 supplies ADA1019-2 push switches with 548 transmitters and a 539 receiver, and the timing behavior comes from the low energy operator it activates on the 5600, 5700, 6000 or 6300 Series. Choose the TS-100 when the switch must set the hold time locally.
