Norton Rixson 663 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage does the Norton Rixson 663 sensor need, and what kind of output does it give the operator?
Input is 24VDC, which is what the Norton low energy operators supply, so it powers off the operator rather than needing a separate supply. Output is a SPDT (single pole double throw) dry relay, so you can wire either normally open or normally closed into the activation input depending on how the operator's terminal strip is landed.
2) Where should the 663 motion sensor be aimed so the door doesn't keep re-triggering itself?
Aim it so the moving door leaf never falls inside the detection field. The 663 is unidirectional with an adjustable angle pattern, so you tilt the pattern away from the swing path and off the door itself. A sensor that sees its own door re-activates on every cycle and the operator never times out. Set the angle, then walk-test the approach and the door swing before you call it done.
3) Is the Norton 663 a request-to-exit sensor or an automatic door activation sensor?
It is an activation sensor for automatic door operators, powered at 24VDC off the operator. If what you actually need is a REX device to shunt an alarm or release an electrified lock, that's a different family of product: the Alarm Controls SREX-100, Bosch DS160, Detex MN01, Securitron XMS and Camden CM-RQE70 are all request-to-exit motion detectors. Some jobs use one of each on the same opening, one to release the lock and the 663 to run the operator.
4) I need a motion sensor for an automatic door but the operator is not a Norton Rixson. What is the equivalent?
The Norton Rixson 663 is built around Norton Rixson operators - it works with the 5600, 5700, 6000, and 6300 Series and with all low energy operators except the 5800. For an automatic door on another manufacturer's operator, the MS Sedco MicroStar-M is a microwave motion sensor with HPR for automatic door activation, and the MS Sedco DH-400 FRM-AI is a combination motion and presence sensor for automatic doors. Both are activation heads written for automatic door service rather than for one operator family.
5) What can I use instead of the Norton Rixson 663 if the door needs both activation and safety presence detection?
The Norton Rixson 663 is a unidirectional motion sensor with an adjustable angle pattern and a SPDT relay output, running on 24VDC. It detects motion to activate the operator; it is positioned so door motion is not sensed. If the opening also needs presence detection to hold the door safe while someone stands in the path, the MS Sedco DH-400 FRM-AI is a combination motion and presence sensor for automatic doors, and the MS Sedco DH100-CT FRM-AI is an activation and presence sensor for automatic sliding and folding doors. Those cover activation and presence in one head, where the 663 covers activation.
6) Is the Norton Rixson 663 the same thing as a request-to-exit sensor?
They are not the same job. The 663 is a motion sensor for automatic door operator systems, compatible with all low energy operators except the 5800, and it activates the operator to swing the door. A request-to-exit sensor releases a locking device when someone approaches from the secure side: the Alarm Controls SREX-100 is an infrared request-to-exit sensor with adjustable time delay, the Bosch DS160 is a PIR request-to-exit detector with sounder, the Bosch DS150i is a request-to-exit detector, the Securitron XMS is a request-to-exit motion sensor, and the Camden CM-RQE70 series are request-to-exit motion sensors. If the opening has an electrified lock rather than an operator, one of those is the part to look at.
7) How much room do I need to mount a Norton 663 motion sensor on the header?
The sensor body measures 4-3/4 x 3-3/16 x 2 inches, the 2 inches being projection off the mounting surface. Plan for that 2 inch stand-off when you're working around a header cover, a transom or a glass stop, and leave yourself access behind it for the wiring run.
8) Does the Norton 663 also provide presence detection to hold the door open for someone standing in the swing path?
The 663 is a unidirectional motion sensor with an adjustable angle pattern, so it activates on approach. If your opening needs a sensor that both activates and holds on a standing person, the MS Sedco DH-400 and DH100-CT are combination motion and presence sensors. On many low energy swing jobs the 663 handles activation and safety is covered by separate presence sensing on the door.
9) What do I need to check before I order a Norton 663 for an existing operator?
Three things settle it. Confirm the operator is a Norton Rixson low energy unit and not a 5800. Confirm the operator can supply 24VDC to the sensor. And confirm the activation terminals accept a dry contact, since the 663 gives you an SPDT relay you can land normally open or normally closed. The 663 is ordered as a single model with no options to specify.
10) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 663 and a microwave sensor like the MS Sedco MicroStar-M?
It is a detection technology difference. The 663 is a unidirectional motion sensor with an adjustable angle pattern, 24VDC input and a SPDT relay output, and it must be positioned where door motion cannot be sensed so the swinging door does not retrigger it. The MS Sedco MicroStar-M is a microwave motion sensor with HPR for automatic door activation. Passive infrared units such as the Detex MN01 and MN02 series use dual-pyroelectric detection instead. Microwave heads respond to movement toward the door; infrared heads respond to a body crossing the pattern, which changes where each one can be aimed.
11) The Norton Rixson 663 mounts on the header. What if I need to mount the sensor on the ceiling?
The 663 is a 4-3/4 inch by 3-3/16 inch by 2 inch projection unit with a black cover, sized to fit standard mounting locations on the operator header. When the coverage has to come from overhead instead, the Locknetics EMS-100 exit motion sensor ships with ceiling and surface mount adapters, which gives you the ceiling option without fabricating a bracket.
12) My sensor supply is 12V, not 24VDC. What works instead of the Norton Rixson 663?
The 663 takes a 24VDC input, which is what the Norton Rixson operators provide. Where the available supply is 12V, the Camden CM-RQE70 series are adjustable infrared motion sensors rated 12 to 24V, in white or black housing, so a single part covers either supply voltage.
13) I need the sensor to hold its output for a set time after someone passes. Does the Norton Rixson 663 do that?
The 663 provides a SPDT relay output with an adjustable angle pattern, so what you adjust on it is the shape of the detection zone. If the application depends on a timed hold after detection, the Alarm Controls SREX-100 infrared motion sensor has an adjustable time delay, and the Bosch DS160 PIR detector includes a sounder for audible annunciation at the opening.
14) Will a Bosch DS150i or Securitron XMS drop in where a Norton Rixson 663 was?
Treat them as different parts. The 663 is a 24VDC motion sensor with a SPDT relay output and an adjustable angle pattern, built to run all low energy operators except the 5800. The Bosch DS150i is a request-to-exit detector and the Securitron XMS is a request-to-exit motion sensor - both are aimed at releasing a locked door on approach rather than commanding an operator, so the wiring and the mounting position they are designed around are not the same as the header position the 663 uses.
15) What color is the Norton 663 sensor cover, and will it show on a finished storefront header?
Black cover. On a dark anodized or bronze header it reads as part of the assembly; on clear anodized aluminum or a white painted header it will stand out at 2 inches of projection. If a white housing matters for the look, the Camden CM-RQE70 Series is offered in white or black housing, though that is a request-to-exit sensor rather than an operator activation device.
16) Is the Norton Rixson 663 sensor rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential product?
Commercial. It is specified for commercial automatic door systems, and the applications it is built around are the ones with heavy repeated cycling: healthcare entries, retail entrances, schools, industrial facilities, multi-tenant residential common doors and municipal buildings. For a property manager standardizing across a portfolio, the same sensor covers every opening running a Norton low energy operator other than the 5800.
17) Which motion sensors are alternatives to the Norton Rixson 663 for a commercial opening?
The 663 is a commercial unidirectional motion sensor for automatic door operators. Comparable commercial motion detection heads include the MS Sedco MicroStar-M microwave sensor for automatic door activation, the MS Sedco DH-400 FRM-AI combination motion and presence sensor for automatic doors, the Detex MN01 and MN02 series passive infrared sensors with dual-pyroelectric detection, the Locknetics EMS-100 exit motion sensor with ceiling and surface mount adapters, and the Securitron XMS request to exit motion sensor. The MicroStar-M and DH-400 sit closest to the 663 because both are aimed at automatic door activation.
