Norton Rixson 639 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 639 push plate work with my existing Norton low energy operator?
The 639 hard-wired push plate works with all Norton Rixson low energy operators except the 5800. Specifically called out as compatible: the 5600, 5700, 6000 and 6300 Series operators. If the opening you're retrofitting runs a 5800, this actuator is not the one to order.
2) Is the Norton Rixson 639 a wireless or hard-wired actuator?
Hard-wired. The 639 runs a direct electrical connection back to the operator, so there is no battery to change and no wireless transmitter to pair or lose. That means you need to get wire to the plate location, and the install sequence assumes it: kill power, mount the plate with clearance behind it for wiring access, land the connections per the operator's wiring diagram, then power up and test the activation against the operator.
3) How big is the activation area on the Norton Rixson 639 push plate, and how far does it stick out from the wall?
The 639 gives a 36 x 6 inch activation zone and sits 1 inch deep off the wall. That tall, narrow target is the point of the design: a user can hit it with a forearm, an elbow, a hip, or from a wheelchair at seated height, without having to find a small round button. The 1 inch profile keeps it from projecting into a corridor or vestibule path.
4) I need a push plate that holds the door open for a set time without a controller. What should I look at?
Look at the pneumatic time delay actuators. Alarm Controls builds the JP Series as a jumbo push plate with pneumatic time delay, and the PD Series covers the PD, PN, PS and PT vandal resistant push plates, also with pneumatic time delay. The timing in those is mechanical to the actuator itself. The Norton Rixson 639 is a hard-wired low profile push plate that signals the operator and lets the operator control the open time, so on an opening with a Norton Rixson low energy operator the delay is set at the operator rather than at the plate.
5) What is a direct alternative to the Norton Rixson 639 push plate with the same 36 inch by 6 inch activation area?
The SDC 480AA Series is an Ingress-R.E.X touch panel column built in the same 36 inch by 6 inch format for ADA compliant access control, which is the closest match in footprint to the Norton Rixson 639 low profile push plate and its 36 inch by 6 inch activation zone. The difference to confirm before you order is the operator side: the 639 is specified for all low energy operators except the 5800, so if the opening runs a Norton Rixson low energy operator the 639 lands on a known compatibility list, while the 480AA column is a general access control touch panel that you wire to whatever controller the opening uses.
6) What can I use instead of a 36 inch tall activation column when the wall space beside the door is narrow?
A round switch fits where a full height column will not. The Camden CM-40 Series is a 4-1/2 inch round all-active switch and the CM-60 Series is a 6 inch round all-active switch, offered wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter. Locknetics also builds the PPH-100-PL large round push plate with a box, in black or aluminum. Any of these gives you a single compact target instead of the 36 inch by 6 inch activation zone the Norton Rixson 639 covers, which matters when the jamb return or a glass sidelite leaves you only a few inches of mounting surface.
7) Can I avoid running wire to the actuator?
The Camden CM-60 Series is a 6 inch round all-active switch offered wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter, which is the option when fishing wire through a finished wall or a glass front is not practical. The Norton Rixson 639 is hard-wired only, with the direct electrical connection made per the operator wiring diagram, so plan a wire path to the plate location before you commit to it on a retrofit.
8) Should I use a tall column-style touch plate or a standard round push button for an automatic door?
A tall plate like the 639, with its 36 x 6 inch active face, is what you want where users approach with full hands, carts, or from a chair, since anywhere along the column triggers it. A round switch is the cheaper, smaller footprint option when the wall space is tight or the actuator sits on a narrow jamb or bollard face. If a round switch suits the opening better, ZenSupply carries the Camden CM-40 Series in a 4-1/2 inch round and the CM-60 Series in a 6 inch round, and the Locknetics PPH-100-PL large round push plate.
9) What is a 36 x 6 inch touch panel column equivalent to the Norton Rixson 639 from another brand?
SDC's 480AA Series is the direct match on size: a 36 x 6 inch touch panel column, and SDC describes it as an Ingress-R.E.X panel for ADA compliant access control. It's the one to look at if you want the same tall column geometry but are standardizing on SDC hardware. The 639 is the Norton Rixson piece and is the one to use when it has to talk to a Norton low energy operator.
10) Is the Norton Rixson 639 push plate face metal, and will it hold up in a hospital or school corridor?
The face plate is stainless steel, which is why it goes into healthcare access points, school entrances, retail entries and municipal buildings where the actuator gets hit hundreds of times a day and gets wiped down. It's a commercial-rated device, not a residential one.
11) Do I need two Norton Rixson 639 push plates for a vestibule with an interior and exterior door?
Yes, on a standard vestibule you actuate each side, so plan on a 639 at each approach wired back to its operator. If you'd rather use a single actuator that handles dual switch activation for a vestibule arrangement, SDC's 480V Series is built specifically for vestibule duty with dual switch activation. Either way the 639 itself is a hard-wired single actuator, so the count follows the number of approach points.
12) What else do I need besides the Norton Rixson 639 to finish an automatic door activation?
The plate is the actuator only. You'll need a Norton Rixson low energy operator on the door, anything other than a 5800, plus wire run to the plate location in the correct gauge for the distance, connectors, and a power source that matches the operator's requirements. The operator's wiring diagram governs the terminations, and the settings that decide hold-open and response are configured at the operator, not on the plate.
13) What do I mount an actuator on when there is no wall near the door, like a parking lot approach?
Use a bollard post. The SDC BP Series square bollard posts for access control are 6 inch by 6 inch, with the BPS6 surface mount at 42 inches and the BPG6 in-ground at 54 inches. These carry the actuator out to where the approach is, which a wall mounted plate cannot do. The Norton Rixson 639 is a low profile push plate with a 1 inch depth designed to sit against a wall surface, so it is the wrong answer for an open approach and the right one where there is a jamb or wall to mount to.
14) Which actuator should I specify for a vestibule with two sets of doors?
The SDC 480V Series is the vestibule push plate actuator, with dual switch activation for that function. That is the one to specify when a single press has to drive both leaves of a vestibule. The Norton Rixson 639 is a single hard-wired low profile push plate, so a vestibule built around it needs a plate at each activation point rather than one dual switch device.
15) Is the SDC 480 Series the same thing as the Norton Rixson 639?
They are both stainless steel push plate actuators but they are not the same part. The SDC 480 Series is built with 18 gauge stainless steel construction and is a conventional push plate actuator. The Norton Rixson 639 has a stainless steel face plate in a low profile form with 1 inch depth and a 36 inch by 6 inch activation zone, and it is specified for all low energy operators except the 5800. If the submittal calls out the 639 against a Norton Rixson low energy operator, substituting a 480 changes the activation format and the stated operator compatibility.
16) For a high abuse opening like a school corridor or a public restroom, is a low profile plate the right choice?
For openings that take deliberate abuse, look at the Alarm Controls PD Series, which covers the PD, PN, PS and PT vandal resistant push plates. Those are built for the abuse case specifically. The Norton Rixson 639 answers it differently: a stainless steel face plate at a 1 inch depth leaves very little edge to catch or pry, and it is rated for commercial use. Both approaches show up in schools and healthcare corridors, so the deciding factor is usually whether the facility standard calls for a vandal resistant designation or a flush low profile appearance.
17) I am standardizing actuators across a portfolio of buildings with different door operators. What is the safest single choice?
If the buildings run Norton Rixson low energy operators, the 639 low profile push plate is stated compatible with all low energy operators except the 5800, and specifically with the 5600, 5700, 6000 and 6300 Series, so one part number covers most of that fleet. Where the operators are mixed across brands, a general purpose actuator standardizes more easily: the SDC 480 Series in 18 gauge stainless steel, or the Camden CM-40 at 4-1/2 inch round and CM-60 at 6 inch round as all-active switches. Many portfolios end up with the 639 on the Norton Rixson openings and one general purpose plate everywhere else.
