Norton Rixson 585 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 585 presence detector work with my low energy door operator?
The 585 works with all Norton Rixson low energy operators except the 5800. That covers the 5600, 5700, 6000 and 6300 Series. If the opening you are fitting runs a 5800 operator, this detector is not the one to order for it.
2) What voltage does the Norton Rixson 585 presence detector need, and can I run it off the operator's power?
The 585 runs on 24VAC or 24VDC, so it takes either form of low voltage supply. Confirm the 24V output on the operator or transformer you are tying into has the current capacity for the head before you wire it in.
3) How much header space does the Norton Rixson 585 sensor take up?
The 585 housing measures 11.8 x 1.9 x 1.9 inches, so it is a short bar rather than a full header-width unit. Allow room at one end for wiring access and future service when you lay out the mounting position alongside the operator.
4) What is the difference between a presence detector like the Norton Rixson 585 and a motion activation sensor?
They do two different jobs on an automatic door. The 585 is a presence detector using diffused active infrared, so it senses someone standing in the door path and holds the door rather than closing on them. An activation sensor is what tells the operator to open in the first place. On a low energy operator installation you are usually specifying both, not choosing one over the other.
5) Is the Norton Rixson 585 detector suitable for a hospital or school entrance, or is it a residential product?
Commercial rated. The 585 is built for commercial automatic door systems, with a black anodized aluminum housing for corrosion resistance in traffic environments, and it is used on healthcare, education, retail, government and multi-tenant residential entrances.
6) Does the Norton Rixson 585 presence detector come in different finishes or sizes?
One configuration only, model 585, in black anodized aluminum. There is nothing to specify on the order beyond the model itself, so match the housing to your header trim expectations before you commit to it on a visible aluminum storefront.
7) Does infrared presence detection work in bright sunlight at a glass entrance?
The 585 uses diffused active infrared, meaning it emits its own IR and reads the return rather than relying on ambient light, so detection holds up across varying lighting conditions at a glazed entry. Aim and sensitivity still get set at commissioning, so test the swing path with the operator connected before you sign the install off.
