Norton Rixson 674 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 674 wave switch work with my low energy door operator?
The 674 wave-to-open switch works with all Norton Rixson low energy operators except the 5800. That covers the 5600, 5700, 6000 and 6300 Series operators. If the opening you are upgrading runs a 5800, this is not the activation switch for it.
2) What size electrical box does the Norton Rixson 674 touchless switch mount to?
It is a double gang unit, so it drops into a standard double gang box. For surface mounting where you cannot cut into the wall, it takes the Norton Rixson 686 surface mount box. Leave clearance behind the plate for the wiring run.
3) How close do you have to get for a wave-to-open switch to trigger, and can that be adjusted?
The sensing zone on the 674 is adjustable from 4 inches out to 24 inches. Tight in at 4 inches if you want a deliberate wave and no false trips from passing traffic, wider at 24 inches for a corridor or a wheelchair approach where the user should not have to aim. You set it at commissioning.
4) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 674 wave to open switch and the MS Sedco 216 Series touchless switch?
The two switches activate a door without contact but sense the hand differently. The Norton Rixson 674 uses microwave detection with a sensing zone adjustable from 4 inches to 24 inches and hold time adjustable from 1/2 to 30 seconds, in a stainless steel double gang housing. The MS Sedco 216 Series is an infrared touchless switch for automatic door activation. Microwave detection responds to motion in the zone, so a slow hand held still reads differently than it does on an infrared unit; infrared responds to a hand presented in the beam. For a Norton Rixson opener, the 674 is the same-brand device, listed as compatible with all low energy operators except the 5800.
5) Which touchless door actuator should I use if the opening needs an infrared switch rather than a microwave one?
Use an MS Sedco unit. The MS Sedco NG NexGen IR is a touchless actuator switch with active infrared detection and ADA compliant operation, and the MS Sedco 216 Series is an infrared touchless switch for automatic door activation. Both detect by infrared rather than the microwave technology the Norton Rixson 674 uses. Infrared is the usual choice where a microwave zone would pick up traffic passing near the plate, such as a switch mounted in a corridor or close to a cross aisle; the 674 answers that instead by tightening its sensing zone down toward 4 inches.
6) Can I set how long the door stays open after someone waves at the Norton Rixson 674?
Hold time is adjustable from 1/2 second up to 30 seconds. Short settings suit an office door with steady traffic; the long end of the range is what you want for a patient room, a resident with a walker, or anywhere someone needs unhurried time through the opening. Hold time is set on the switch, not on the operator.
7) Is the Norton Rixson 674 an infrared sensor or microwave?
Microwave. That matters on install: microwave detection responds to motion in the zone rather than a reflected beam, so it is less bothered by dark clothing or surface reflectivity than an infrared actuator. If your spec calls specifically for active infrared, the MS Sedco NexGen IR actuator or the MS Sedco 216 Series infrared switch are the IR-based touchless alternatives.
8) Is the 674 wave switch durable enough for a hospital corridor or a school entrance?
The housing is stainless steel, which is what you want in a corridor that gets carts, mop buckets and constant traffic, and it holds up to cleaning chemicals better than a plastic faceplate. It is a commercial-rated device, built for healthcare, education, retail and government entrances rather than residential use.
9) Does a wave switch actually satisfy ADA door activation, or do I still need a push plate?
The 674 gives touchless activation for a low energy operator, which is how you get a door open for someone with limited hand strength or a mobility device without them pushing anything. It is an activation device, though, not the operator. The opening still needs a Norton Rixson low energy operator behind it doing the ADA opening and closing cycle; the 674 only tells it when to run.
10) What else do I need to order with a Norton Rixson 674 to finish the job?
Beyond the switch you need the low energy operator itself (5600, 5700, 6000 or 6300 Series), a double gang box or a 686 surface mount box if you are not cutting the wall, and low voltage wiring run to the operator per the manufacturer wiring diagram. The 674 is the activation device only; no operator, no automatic door.
11) What are the alternatives to the Norton Rixson 674 wave switch for automatic door activation?
Two other touchless actuators worth looking at are the MS Sedco 216 Series infrared touchless switch and the MS Sedco NexGen IR actuator, both active infrared rather than microwave. The practical difference from the 674 is the detection method and the fact that the 674 is built around the Norton Rixson operator line, so if the opening is already Norton Rixson the 674 is the matched part.
12) I am specifying touchless actuators for an ADA accessibility upgrade across a building - do the Norton Rixson 674 and the MS Sedco NexGen IR both support ADA operation?
Yes. The Norton Rixson 674 is a commercial wave to open switch that supports ADA-compliant door operation, with hold time adjustable from 1/2 to 30 seconds so the door stays open long enough for a user crossing at a slower pace. The MS Sedco NG NexGen IR is a touchless actuator switch with active infrared detection and ADA compliant operation. If the facility is standardizing on Norton Rixson 5600, 5700, 6000, or 6300 Series operators, the 674 is the matching activation device for those openers and carries the same stainless steel double gang face at every push point.
13) Can I replace a Norton Rixson 674 with an MS Sedco 216 Series switch in the same double gang box?
Treat it as a different device rather than a drop-in. The Norton Rixson 674 is built in a stainless steel double gang configuration that mounts to a 686 surface box or a double gang opening, and it is specified for all low energy operators except the 5800. The MS Sedco 216 Series is an infrared touchless switch for automatic door activation and is a separate product family, so confirm its mounting footprint and the wiring it expects at the operator before ordering it against an existing 674 rough-in. Where the box and the operator are already set up for the 674, staying with the 674 keeps the mounting and the operator connection unchanged.
14) I have two touchless switches on one opening, interior and exterior. Can I use the 674 on both sides?
Nothing about the 674 restricts it to one side. It is a double gang switch wired to a low energy operator, so a pair of them, one inside and one outside, both feed the same operator. Spec the exterior one with a tighter sensing zone if the approach is a busy walkway, since the 4 to 24 inch range is set per unit and you will not want passers-by cycling the door.
