Norton Rixson 5740K2 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Norton Rixson 5740K2 kit come with everything needed to automate the door, or do I have to buy switches separately?
The 5740K2 kit ships the 5700 operator set up for push applications, both push and pull arms, the power cord, and two 700 wave-to-open touch-free switches. Actuators are in the box, so there is no separate switch order. What it does not cover is the low voltage wire run between the operator and the switch locations, conduit, and any electric strike or maglock if the opening is also locked, plus the line voltage feed to the operator.
2) Can the Norton Rixson 5700 operator be used on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 5700 Series is UL/cUL listed for fire-rated doors and UL10C listed for the positive pressure fire test. Note the hold open feature is not part of this unit, which is what you want on a fire door anyway, since a fire assembly has to be free to close.
3) What happens to the door when the power goes out on a Norton Rixson 5700 power operator?
It reverts to a mechanical surface closer. The 5700 is built on the Norton Rixson 1601 closer platform, so with no power the door still closes and latches under spring force and can be pushed open by hand. You lose the powered swing and the wave switches until power returns, but the opening is never left uncontrolled.
4) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Norton Rixson 5740K2 operator?
Handing is not a factor. The 5700 Series is non-handed and mounts on either the push or pull side, and the 5740K2 kit includes both the push arm and the pull arm. The only thing you choose is finish: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, BSP black suede powder, or WSP white suede powder.
5) Does the Norton Rixson 5700 power operator need a separate 24V power supply for the wave switches and card reader?
No separate supply. The operator carries an onboard 24VDC output rated 1.1A for accessories, which runs the two included 700 touch-free switches and leaves headroom for a reader or other low voltage device. Add up the current draw of everything you plan to hang on it and keep the total under 1.1A; anything heavier, like an electric strike pulling continuous duty, wants its own supply.
6) Is a low energy operator like the Norton Rixson 5700 the right choice, or do I need a full automatic swing door operator?
Low energy is the right call when the door is activated by a person pressing or waving at a switch, which is how the 5700 is set up with its two 700 wave-to-open actuators. Low energy operators to ANSI/BHMA A156.19 open and close slowly enough that guarding sensors and safety mats are not required, which keeps the install and the annual inspection simple. If you need a door that opens on approach from a motion sensor with high speed operation, that is a full power operator under a different standard and the 5700 will not do it. The 5700 also carries a moderate traffic rating, so a main entrance cycling all day at a retail or transit opening is asking more of it than it is rated for.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Norton Rixson 5740K2 power operator kit from another manufacturer?
The Norton Rixson 5740K2 is a 5700 Series low energy operator kit built around an electrohydraulic operator with push and pull arms, a power cord, and two 700 wave-to-open touch-free switches. The nearest like-for-like package is the LCN 6440 COMPACT automatic operator module, which is specified with 24VDC power and touchless access for doors up to 185 lb. If you want the same touchless activation on a Dormakaba platform instead, the ED100LE low energy swing door operator is the ED100 Series equivalent. All three are low energy swing door operators for interior commercial openings.
8) The 5740K2 handles doors up to 250 pounds. What low energy operator should I use on a heavy exterior-weight door if I am standardizing on Dormakaba?
The Norton Rixson 5740K2 covers doors 28 inches to 48 inches wide and up to 250 pounds using a heavy-duty 1601 closer platform. On the Dormakaba side, the ED50LE is the medium to heavy duty swing door operator in the ED50 Series and carries a heavy duty rating, and the ED900 is available in a push side top jamb mount configuration for single door applications. Confirm the leaf weight against the operator you choose before you commit the opening.
9) I only need the operator on the pull side of the door. Is the 5740K2 the right choice?
The Norton Rixson 5740K2 is non-handed and ships with both push and pull arms, so one kit covers either side of the opening. If you want a unit built specifically for one mounting side, the LCN 9131 Benchmark is a low-energy electromechanical operator with pull side mount and ADA compliance, and its counterpart, the LCN 9142 Benchmark, is the push side mount version. Choosing a side-specific unit means ordering the correct one per opening rather than fitting the arm at install.
10) Is the LCN 6440XP a drop-in substitute for the Norton Rixson 5740K2 on a 250 pound door?
No. The LCN 6440XP COMPACT is a 24VDC low-energy operator rated for a 185 lb door capacity, and the LCN 6440 COMPACT module carries the same 185 lb figure. The Norton Rixson 5740K2 is specified for doors up to 250 pounds across 28 inch to 48 inch widths. On a leaf at the top of that range the 6440XP is not an equivalent; weigh or calculate the leaf before substituting.
11) I need an ADA compliant automatic operator for a fire-rated door in a healthcare corridor. Does the 5740K2 or an LCN Benchmark fit?
The Norton Rixson 5740K2 is ADA compliant, ANSI/BHMA A156.19 certified, and UL/cUL listed for fire-rated doors including UL10C positive pressure fire test, with a full cover and a moderate traffic rating. The LCN 9131 Benchmark is likewise described as a low-energy electromechanical operator with ADA compliance and mounts pull side. For a fire-rated leaf, the UL10C positive pressure listing on the 5740K2 is the specific item to match against your door assembly.
12) Does the Norton Rixson 5700 Series operator meet ADA requirements for an accessible entrance?
Yes, the 5700 is ADA compliant and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.19, and the two included 700 wave-to-open switches give hands-free activation with no grip or pull force needed at all. It also has an adjustable delay function, which is the setting that holds the door open long enough for someone using a walker or wheelchair to clear the opening.
13) How does the Norton Rixson 5700 operator compare to an LCN 6440 or a Dormakaba ED100LE?
The 5700 is electrohydraulic, built on the 1601 closer, and rated to 250 pound doors from 28 to 48 inches. The LCN 6440 COMPACT is electromechanical and rated for 185 pound doors, so on a heavy exterior aluminum or hollow metal leaf the Norton has more capacity. The LCN 9142 Benchmark is push side mount and the LCN 9131 is pull side, meaning you commit to a side at order time, where the 5740K2 kit ships both arms. Dormakaba's ED100LE and ED50LE are the electromechanical alternatives; the ED50LE is the heavy duty unit in that line. Pick the electrohydraulic 5700 if you want the mechanical closer feel and backup closing behaviour from the 1601 platform.
14) Can I match the Norton Rixson 5700 operator to dark bronze storefront or a white painted frame?
Four finishes cover it: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. 689 matches clear anodized aluminum storefront, 690 lines up with dark bronze anodized, and the suede powder finishes in black and white are the ones to use against painted hollow metal. The operator uses a full cover, so the housing is visible and finish choice actually shows on the opening.
15) Can the closing force on the Norton Rixson 5700 be adjusted after install for a windy exterior opening?
Yes. Spring power is adjustable on the 5700 rather than fixed at a single size, so you can dial closing force up on an exterior door fighting stack pressure or wind, and back down on an interior opening where a lighter manual push is wanted. Door sensitivity and the delay are adjustable in the same setup pass. Keep in mind that raising spring power raises the manual opening force too, which is the number an ADA inspection checks.
16) Is the Norton Rixson 5700 operator suitable for a hospital or school corridor door that gets constant use?
It is a heavy duty commercial unit, but it carries a moderate traffic rating, so it suits patient room and department doors, classroom and administrative openings, restroom vestibules, and office suite entries rather than a main lobby door swinging all day. The touch-free 700 switches are the reason it lands well in healthcare, since nobody has to touch a plate. For a high cycle main entrance, size up to a full power operator instead.
17) Will the Norton Rixson 5700 hold the door open in the open position for deliveries?
No. There is no hold open feature on the 5700, and adding one is not an option here. It powers the door open, holds through the adjustable delay, then closes. If you need a door that stays parked open for loading, use a separate hold open device on an opening that is not fire rated, or an electromagnetic hold open tied to the fire alarm where it is.
18) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 5740K2 and an electromechanical operator like the LCN 9142?
The Norton Rixson 5740K2 uses an electrohydraulic operator with adjustable spring size, and on loss of power it functions as a mechanical surface closer so the door still controls itself. The LCN 9131 and LCN 9142 Benchmark units are electromechanical low-energy operators, a different drive method, with the 9131 mounting pull side and the 9142 push side. If your spec calls out a drive type, that distinction is the one to check first.
19) My opening is a single door needing a push side top jamb mount. Which operator suits that better than the 5740K2?
The Norton Rixson 5740K2 is non-handed and configured for push applications with both arms supplied, so it covers a push side install directly. If your detail calls specifically for a push side top jamb mount on a single door, the DORMA ED900 is specified in exactly that configuration. Verify the header depth and stop condition at the opening before selecting between them.
20) Where do the touch-free switches on the Norton Rixson 5740K2 kit get mounted, and is one enough?
The kit includes two 700 wave-to-open switches precisely because most openings need one on each side, so the door can be activated from approach in either direction. Switch positioning is part of the commissioning setup along with spring power and sensitivity, and both switches run off the operator's onboard 24VDC accessory output, so no local transformer at the switch is needed.
21) Can I match the 5740K2 finish if I am adding an operator to doors that already have Dormakaba units?
The Norton Rixson 5740K2 comes in 689 Aluminum, 690 Dark Bronze, BSP Black Suede Powder, and WSP White Suede Powder. The Dormakaba ED100LE and ED50LE low energy swing door operators are both offered in an anodized finish. If the goal is a visual match down the corridor, compare the anodized Dormakaba cover against 689 Aluminum on a sample before ordering the run.
