Norton Rixson 1618-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this soffit plate hold the door open?
No. This is the non-hold open version, so the door returns to closed with no detent or hold position at any degree of swing. If your opening needs the door to stand open (a loading corridor, a receiving door), a non-hold open plate is the wrong choice and you want the hold open variant of the 7500 Series instead.
2) Can I use the 7500 soffit plate with a pivot set from another manufacturer?
No. The plate is machined for Norton Rixson 7500 Series pivot systems and should be matched to that series. Hole pattern and pivot pocket won't line up with another maker's top pivot, so specify 7500 Series components throughout the opening.
3) Can an SDC 480 push plate actuator be used in place of the Norton Rixson 7500 Series soffit plate?
No. The Norton Rixson 7500 Series Standard Soffit Plate is a mechanical mounting component for Norton Rixson 7500 Series pivot systems, installed at the ceiling or header and engineered specifically for that pivot system with non-hold open operation. The SDC 480 Series is a push plate actuator built with 18 gauge stainless steel construction - a wall-mounted switch a person presses to trigger an automatic operator. They serve different roles in a doorway: one carries the top pivot hardware, the other signals a door to open. Replacing a soffit plate with an actuator leaves the pivot system with no top mounting.
4) We need a door release switch at a pivot-hung entrance - what do we order alongside the 7500 Series soffit plate?
The soffit plate is the mechanical component for the Norton Rixson 7500 Series pivot system and does not switch or release anything. For the user-activated release at the opening, actuator plates are the separate item: the Camden CM-40 Series is a 4-1/2 inch round all-active switch and the Camden CM-60 Series is a 6 inch round switch offered wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter, while the SDC 480V Series is a vestibule actuator with dual switch activation for interior and exterior sides of a vestibule. Order the soffit plate for the pivot and the actuator separately.
5) Is the Norton Rixson 7500 soffit plate an electric push plate or door actuator?
No, and it's easy to confuse the two. The 7500 soffit plate is a mechanical pivot mounting component with no switch, contacts or wiring. If what you actually need is a wall switch to trigger an automatic operator, look at a push plate actuator such as the SDC 480 Series, the Camden CM-40 4-1/2 inch round switch or CM-60 6 inch round switch, or the Alarm Controls PD Series vandal resistant plates.
6) Do I need anything else to complete a 7500 Series pivot installation?
The soffit plate is one piece of the set. You'll still need the matching 7500 Series pivot components for the opening, and installation should follow the parent device instructions for the pivot system rather than treating the plate as a standalone part. Confirm the existing hardware is 7500 Series before you order.
7) The 7500 soffit plate is non-hold open - what gives us a timed hold instead?
The Norton Rixson 7500 Series Standard Soffit Plate is a non-hold open design, so the door closes without stopping at any position, which is what a facility wants for security and climate control. Timed hold is not a function of the pivot mounting hardware; it comes from the actuation side. Alarm Controls builds pneumatic time delay push plates for that: the JP Series is a jumbo pneumatic time delay push plate, and the PD Series covers pneumatic time delay PD, PN, PS and PT vandal resistant push plates. Those hold an automatic operator energized for a set interval rather than mechanically detaining the door leaf.
8) Is the 7500 Series soffit plate the same kind of part as a Locknetics PPH-100 push plate?
No, despite both being flat plates. The Norton Rixson 7500 Series Standard Soffit Plate mounts at the ceiling or header as part of a Norton Rixson 7500 Series pivot system and comes in 689 aluminum and 690 dark bronze finishes. The Locknetics PPH-100-PL is a large round push plate supplied with a box, in black or aluminum, mounted at hand height on a wall for people to press. Confirm which one the drawing calls for before ordering - a pivot soffit plate will not fit a push plate back box.
9) For an ADA accessible entrance, does the 7500 soffit plate cover the accessible actuation requirement?
It does not. The Norton Rixson 7500 Series soffit plate is pivot system mounting hardware at the header and is not touched by building occupants. Accessible actuation is a separate product: the SDC 480AA Series is a 36 inch by 6 inch Ingress-R.E.X touch panel column for ADA compliant access control, giving a tall touch zone reachable from a seated or standing position, and the SDC BP Series square bollard posts, 6 inch by 6 inch, are offered as BPS6 surface mount at 42 inches and BPG6 in-ground at 54 inches for exterior approach actuation. Specify the soffit plate for the pivot and one of those for the accessible actuator.
10) Is this soffit plate suitable for a high-traffic commercial entrance?
Yes. It's a commercial-rated component built from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material for high-traffic service, and it's used on office buildings, schools, healthcare, government, retail and multi-tenant residential openings. The low-maintenance design is aimed at doors that cycle constantly.
11) We need a vandal resistant plate at a school entrance - is the 7500 soffit plate the right choice?
For the pivot hardware itself, the Norton Rixson 7500 Series soffit plate is built from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material for high-traffic commercial environments including educational facilities, and it sits at the header out of reach. If the vandal concern is the plate people actually strike, that is the actuator: the Alarm Controls PD Series covers vandal resistant PD, PN, PS and PT push plates, and the SDC 480 Series uses 18 gauge stainless steel construction. Those address abuse at hand height; the soffit plate addresses the pivot mounting.
