Norton Rixson RIX578 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 578 transmitter work on its own, or do I need a receiver too?
The 578 handheld transmitter only sends the signal. You also need the Norton Rixson 537 receiver, which is sold separately and wires into the door operator. Order both, or the transmitter has nothing to talk to.
2) We have a Norton Rixson 5800 operator - will the 578 transmitter work on it?
No. The Norton Rixson 578 transmitter is listed as compatible with all low energy operators except the 5800, and its stated operator compatibility covers the 5600, 5700, 6000, and 6300 Series. For a 5800 opening, a wireless kit supplied as its own matched transmitter and receiver set, such as the RCI 9RCT433 Series transmitters and receivers, is the direction to look rather than the 578 and 537 combination.
3) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 578 handheld transmitter and the RCI 9RCT433 Series wireless transmitters?
The Norton Rixson 578 is a two-button handheld transmitter operating at 900MHz, and it is built to pair with the Norton Rixson 537 receiver to control 5600, 5700, 6000, and 6300 Series low energy operators. The RCI 9RCT433 Series is a transmitter and receiver family that uses rolling code security and is identified by its 433 designation rather than 900MHz. If the door already has a Norton Rixson low energy operator and a 537 receiver, the 578 is the transmitter that matches that system; the RCI 9RCT433 Series is bought as its own transmitter and receiver pairing.
4) What do the two buttons on the 578 remote do?
The two-button layout can be set up either for two separate functions or as redundant activation of the same door, depending on how you configure the pairing at the 537 receiver during setup. Programming happens on the receiver side, not the fob.
5) Why 900MHz instead of a 433MHz remote?
The 578 transmits at 900MHz, and it only pairs with the Norton Rixson 537 receiver at that frequency. If your existing system runs a different band, for example the RCI 9RCT433 Series wireless transmitters and receivers, the 578 will not talk to it. Frequency has to match across transmitter and receiver.
6) I need to add a second remote for another staff member. Can I order just the transmitter?
Yes. The 578 is sold as a standalone handheld transmitter, model RIX578, so you can add fobs to an existing 537 receiver without buying another receiver. Each new fob gets paired at the receiver.
7) If I need rolling code security on a wireless door control, is the Norton Rixson 578 transmitter the right choice?
Rolling code security is the feature called out for the RCI 9RCT433 Series wireless transmitters and receivers, so that series is the one to specify when rolling code encryption is a requirement of the access control scope. The Norton Rixson 578 is specified as a two-button 900MHz handheld transmitter for Norton Rixson low energy operators, working through the 537 receiver, and is the unit to use when the requirement is remote activation of those operators.
8) Can the Norton Rixson 578 transmitter be used with an RCI 9RCT433 receiver?
They should not be mixed. The Norton Rixson 578 transmits at 900MHz and calls for the Norton Rixson 537 receiver for complete system operation. The RCI 9RCT433 Series is supplied as its own transmitter and receiver family carrying a 433 designation and rolling code security, so its receivers are intended for its own transmitters. Order the transmitter and receiver from the same series.
9) How big is the Norton Rixson 578 fob, and will it fit on a keyring in a pocket?
It measures 2-3/4 x 14/25 x 1-19/50 inches, so it is a pocket-sized handheld unit rather than a wall station. For staff who need to open a door from a desk or a wheelchair, that size is the point.
10) Is the 578 transmitter rated for commercial buildings or is it a residential remote?
Commercial. It is classed as a commercial electronic access control accessory and is used on healthcare, education, retail, industrial, multi-tenant and municipal openings where a low energy operator is already installed.
11) What else is involved in getting this remote working once the receiver is on site?
Power down before wiring the 537 receiver, mount it with clearance for wiring and service, run the wiring per the Norton Rixson diagrams, then pair the 578 and set any options. Restore power and test normal operation, fob response and the handoff to the operator. The transmitter itself needs no wiring.
