Norton Rixson 700 NOR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How close do you have to get to a Norton 700 wave switch for the door to open?
Detection runs 0 to 4 inches, so it is a close-range wave plate, not a long-range presence sensor. A hand has to come within about four inches of the face. Mount it where someone naturally reaches, at a jamb or on a wall beside the approach, rather than out in an open corridor where people would pass it at a distance and expect the door to go.
2) What is an equivalent touchless wave switch to the Norton Rixson 700 if a different brand is required on the job?
The MS Sedco 216 Series infrared touchless switch is the closest cross-brand equivalent for automatic door activation. Both are infrared touchless switches used to activate an automatic door operator. The Norton Rixson 700 is the one to specify when the opening runs a Norton Rixson low energy operator, since it is built to work with all low energy operators except the 5800. The MS Sedco 216 Series is a brand-agnostic actuator, so it is the choice when the operator on the door is from another manufacturer or when a spec requires a non-Norton switch.
3) Which touchless actuator should be used when the switch has to be documented as ADA compliant?
The MS Sedco NexGen IR touchless actuator switch is described as an ADA compliant actuator with active infrared detection, which makes it the one to reach for when the submittal has to show ADA compliance on the actuator itself. The Norton Rixson 700 is a commercial infrared wave switch whose touchless activation removes the physical contact requirement at the opening. On a Norton Rixson low energy operator the 700 keeps the whole activation chain within one manufacturer; where the paperwork calls for a stated ADA compliant actuator, the NexGen IR is the direct alternative.
4) Can I set how long the door stays open with a Norton Rixson 700 wave switch?
Yes, on the switch itself. The onboard relay hold time adjusts anywhere from 0 to 35 seconds, set during commissioning. Short times suit a light office entry; longer ones suit a healthcare corridor where a bed or a cart needs the door held. It is a relay hold, so it works alongside whatever the operator's own timing does.
5) Why does the door not open when someone just holds a hand in front of the Norton 700 switch?
Activation on the 700 requires movement, not just presence. A hand parked in the field will not trigger it. That is deliberate: it keeps carts, coats and people standing near the wall from firing the operator all day. Tell users to wave, not hover.
6) What are the alternatives to the Norton Rixson 700 if I am not running Norton operators?
The 700 is tied to Norton Rixson low energy operators, so on another manufacturer's operator look at a brand-neutral infrared actuator instead. The MS Sedco 216 Series infrared touchless switch and the MS Sedco NexGen IR touchless actuator both cover the same job of activating an automatic door without contact. Pick one of those where the operator is not Norton.
7) Do I need a separate relay or timer module with the Norton 700 wave switch?
No separate timer is needed. The relay and the 0 to 35 second variable hold are built into the 700, so the switch handles the activation signal and the hold on its own. You are wiring the switch to the operator per the manufacturer wiring diagram and setting the hold time at commissioning, not adding a timer board.
8) If the door operator does not have its own adjustable hold-open timing, which wave switch handles it?
The Norton Rixson 700 has a variable relay timer with hold time adjustable from 0 to 35 seconds set at the switch, so the hold can be tuned to traffic without relying on the operator to provide it. The MS Sedco 216 Series and the MS Sedco NexGen IR are infrared touchless actuators for automatic door activation; where hold timing has to be dialed in from the actuator itself, the 700 is the unit that carries that adjustment.
9) We are standardizing wave switches across a facility with mixed door operators - which one covers the most openings?
For a building running Norton Rixson operators, the Norton Rixson 700 covers all low energy operators except the 5800, and it ships with both a single gang and a double gang plate in one package so it drops into either wall box configuration without a second part number. Where the operators are from other manufacturers, the MS Sedco 216 Series and the MS Sedco NexGen IR are the brand-agnostic infrared touchless actuators to carry alongside it. A mixed campus commonly ends up stocking the 700 for the Norton Rixson openings and one MS Sedco actuator for the rest.
10) Is the Norton Rixson 700 wave switch rated for commercial use?
It is a commercial-duty product, listed for commercial rather than residential service, and typical installs are healthcare touchless entries, school and retail entrances, offices and multi-tenant residential automatic doors.
11) Can I use one Norton 700 wave switch on both sides of an automatic door?
One 700 covers one activation point. A push-pull side and an approach side each need their own switch, which is normal on an automatic entry. The package covers the mounting variation (single gang and double gang plates), not a second location, so order one per side you want to activate.
