Norton Rixson 5845xNPB 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ have to be mounted on the pull side, or can it go on the push side?
Either. The 5800 ADAEZ is non-handed and mounts push side or pull side, so one part number covers both openings in a pair of adjacent doors swinging opposite directions. It's built for tight installs too, needing minimal header space. Compare that with the LCN Benchmark line, where mounting side is baked into the model: the 9131 is pull side mount and the 9142 is push side, so you have to pick the right one up front.
2) Do I need to run power to the Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ operator?
Not necessarily. The 5800 ADAEZ runs off a regenerative drive battery that harvests power from people pushing the door manually, which is what lets it operate without a supply and keeps working through a power failure. If the opening needs continuous powered operation, there's an optional 24VDC plug-in transformer kit. Decide that before the electrician's rough-in, because the no-power route means no conduit to the header.
3) What activation switch do I order with the Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ operator?
Four choices on the switch axis: narrow push plate, square push plate, wave-to-open (touchless) switches, or a wireless interface module. Restrooms and healthcare openings usually go wave-to-open to keep it hands free; the wireless module skips the wire pull from the switch back to the header, which matters on a retrofit into a finished wall. Narrow plates are the ones to pick when you're mounting on a jamb or a slim wall return rather than an open wall.
4) I need a 90 minute fire rated automatic operator for a healthcare corridor door - what covers that?
The Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ is ETL tested to UL/cUL 325 and UL 10c fire rated for 90 minutes, and it is ADA compliant with ANSI/BHMA A156.19 certification, which is the combination a healthcare corridor or other rated opening typically calls for. Among the alternates, the LCN 9131 Benchmark is the one described as ADA compliant, mounting on the pull side. Where the opening is a rated assembly, the 5800 is the part number that carries the fire rating with it.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ if I need a low energy operator for a heavy commercial swing door?
The DORMA ED50LE is the peer that carries the same heavy duty rating as the Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ, and it is described as a medium to heavy duty low energy swing door operator. The Norton Rixson 5800 handles doors up to 250 lbs and 48 inches wide with a brushless DC motor and gearbox tested past 10 million cycles, and it is ANSI/BHMA A156.19 certified. If your specification calls out a named alternate for a heavy leaf, the ED50LE is the direct cross in the group.
6) My door leaf is lighter than 200 lbs - is there a smaller automatic operator than the Norton Rixson 5800?
Yes. The LCN 6440 COMPACT automatic operator module is built for doors up to 185 lbs and runs on 24VDC with touchless access, and the LCN 6440XP COMPACT carries the same 185 lb door capacity with 24VDC low energy operation. The Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ is rated to 250 lbs and up to 48 inch widths, so on a lighter leaf the COMPACT modules cover the weight while the 5800 leaves headroom for the heaviest doors in a mixed opening set.
7) Which low energy operator works without running line voltage power to the header?
The Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ is the one to look at for that condition. Its regenerative drive battery captures power from manual door operation, so it can run on the regenerative drive alone, with an optional 24VDC plug-in transformer kit only when the application needs continuously powered operation. The battery also keeps automatic operation going through a power outage. By contrast, the LCN 6440 and LCN 6440XP COMPACT operators are specified as 24VDC units, so those openings need power brought to the operator.
8) Can I add a card reader or remote push button to the Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ later?
Yes. The 5800 ADAEZ has an auxiliary activation input port and works with door switches, wave-to-open switches, and RF devices, so an access control relay output or an added remote can be tied in after the fact without swapping the operator.
9) How long will a low energy operator last on a busy building entrance?
The 5800 ADAEZ uses a brushless DC motor and gearbox tested past 10 million cycles, and it's rated heavy duty for high traffic. A patented auto-tune feature self-adjusts to the door instead of needing a tech back to re-set it, and the shock absorbing arm takes the hit from wind gusts and people yanking the door open.
10) Is a low energy operator the right choice, or do I need a full power automatic door?
Low energy operators like the 5800 ADAEZ open slowly under ANSI/BHMA A156.19 and are triggered by a knowing act, a push plate or a wave switch, which is why they need no guide rails or safety sensor package. That's the standard answer for an ADA accessible entrance, restroom, or interior cross corridor door. If you want the door to open automatically as people walk up, you're into full power territory under a different standard, not this operator.
11) What is the difference between the LCN 9131 and LCN 9142 when I am pricing an alternate to the Norton Rixson 5800?
They are the handed pair of the same Benchmark platform: the LCN 9131 is the pull side mount low energy electromechanical operator with ADA compliance, in the 9130 Series, and the LCN 9142 is the push side mount version, in the 9140 Series. Choosing between them means committing to a mounting side per opening. The Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ is non-handed with push or pull side mounting, so a single part number covers both approach directions when you are standardizing across a facility.
12) Do any of the alternates to the Norton Rixson 5800 have built-in obstacle detection or microprocessor control?
The Cal-Royal 8600 Series is a low energy automatic swing door operator with obstacle detection, and the SDC AUTOP Series is a low energy automatic door operator with microprocessor control. The Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ approaches the same problem with patented auto-tune technology that self-adjusts to the door plus a shock absorbing arm that protects the door from wind and abuse. All three are low energy swing operators; the difference is in how each one manages door forces during the cycle.
13) Is the Dormakaba ED100LE a drop-in replacement for a Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ?
No. Both are low energy swing door operators, but they are different platforms: the ED100LE belongs to the Dormakaba ED100 Series while the 5800 ADAEZ is its own 5800 Series unit with a non-handed push or pull side body and a regenerative drive battery. Mounting templates, arm packages, header footprint, and control wiring do not carry across, so treat a change from one to the other as a new operator installation on the opening rather than a swap of the existing unit.
14) For a sustainability or LEED-driven specification, which automatic operator should I be putting on the submittal?
The Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ is the one in this group carrying documented environmental credentials: GreenCircle certified energy efficiency with an Environmental Product Declaration, and regenerative drive technology that can cut energy consumption by up to 100 percent compared to similar operators. The other low energy swing operators in the comparable group, including the Cal-Royal 8600 Series and the SDC AUTOP Series, are specified on their operating features rather than a certified efficiency claim, so the 5800 is the part number to carry when the submittal has an energy or environmental line item.
15) Which automatic operator can I order with the wave-to-open switches as part of the same order?
The Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ is configured with the actuator choice built into the order: wave-to-open switches, narrow switches, square switches, or a wireless interface module, in 689 aluminum or 693T black textured finish. The operator also accepts door switches and radio frequency devices through an auxiliary activation input port. Among the alternates, the LCN 6440 COMPACT is described with touchless access as part of the module. If you want the actuators and the operator to arrive as one configured package, the 5800 is the one that carries that selection.
16) My opening has very little header space above the door - which operator fits?
The Norton Rixson 5800 ADAEZ is the one built for that: its compact non-handed body accommodates tight spaces with minimal header requirements, on either the push or pull side. If the constraint is at the top jamb on the push side specifically, the DORMA ED900 is configured as a push side top jamb mount operator for single door applications. Measure the available header depth before committing, since the mounting condition drives which of the two suits the opening.
17) Does an automatic door operator have to draw power all the time?
Not this one. The 5800 ADAEZ regenerative drive recovers energy from manual door use, cutting consumption by up to 100 percent against comparable operators, and it carries GreenCircle certified efficiency with an Environmental Product Declaration on file. For a LEED submittal or an owner tracking operating cost across a portfolio of entrances, that EPD is the document to pull.
