Norton Rixson RIX-991M 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Norton Rixson 991M door holder be used in a classified hazardous location?
That is what the 991M is built for. It's approved for Class I Division 2, Class II Division 2, Groups F and G, and Class III locations, and it ships with a sealed surface mounted junction box so the wiring terminations stay protected. If your area is classified Class I Division 1, this unit is not approved for it.
2) What voltage does the Rixson 991M electromagnetic door holder run on?
Five power options are offered: 120VAC, 240VAC, 24VAC, 12VAC and 24VDC. Pick the one that matches the circuit feeding the fire alarm panel or the local supply, because the coil is voltage specific and has to be specified at order time.
3) Does the 991M release the door automatically when the fire alarm goes off?
Yes. It's a fail safe holder, so cutting power at the magnet releases the door and lets the closer shut it. Wire it through the fire alarm or smoke detector circuit so an alarm drops power. Loss of building power does the same thing.
4) Is the Rixson 991M rated for commercial code-required hold open applications?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.15 Grade 1, the standard covering release devices for hold open applications, and is specified for commercial doors. Grade 1 is the highest performance tier in that standard.
5) Will a magnetic door holder with 25 to 40 lbs holding force keep a heavy industrial door open?
The 991M develops 25 to 40 lbs of holding force, which suits a normal commercial swing door held open against its closer. On a very heavy or high wind load exterior opening, the door may pull off the magnet. Match the closer spring size and the door weight to that 25 to 40 lb figure before committing.
6) How far off the wall does the Rixson 991M stick out?
Total projection is 4 inches from the wall face, including the armature contact. Lay the door swing out before you set the mounting height: the door must come to rest against the magnet face at that 4 inch point, so the holder location is driven by where the open door actually lands.
7) Is the 991M wall mounted or floor mounted?
Wall mounted. It's a surface wall unit with surface wiring, so the conduit runs on the wall into the sealed junction box rather than being fished through a finished wall. If your open door lands too far from any wall, a wall holder will not reach and a floor mounted holder is the better arrangement.
8) Does the 991M need to be ordered left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The 991M is non-handed, so one part number works on a left or right hand opening. You only choose voltage and finish.
9) Does the 991M hold the door open and close it too, or do I still need a door closer?
You still need a closer. The 991M is only an electromagnetic holder/release: it grabs the door in the open position and lets go on power loss. The door closer is what actually swings the door shut, so the two are ordered and installed together.
10) What finishes does the 991M door holder come in?
Five: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 flat black, and 696 satin brass painted. That covers matching most existing Norton Rixson closers and holders already on a building's openings.
