Norton Rixson 99-726 120V 689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are Norton Rixson Checkmate 99 Series electrified closers used for?
These electrified door closers provide controlled door closing with electromagnetic hold-open capability. They're designed for commercial applications requiring fire safety compliance and access control integration.
2) What door weights and widths do these closers handle?
The 99 Series handles doors up to specific weight and width limits depending on the model. Check the manufacturer's template for your exact door dimensions and weight requirements before ordering.
3) How do I determine the correct handing for installation?
Hand is determined by standing on the pull side of the door. Right hand if hinges are on the right, left hand if hinges are on the left. The closer mounts on the pull side of the door.
4) What finishes are available for the Checkmate 99 Series?
Standard finishes typically include aluminum, dark bronze, and other architectural finishes. Verify available finish options with the specific model number when ordering.
5) What voltage does the electromagnetic hold-open require?
Most electrified closers operate on 12V or 24V DC power supply. The electromagnetic holder releases when power is interrupted, allowing the closer to operate normally.
6) Do these closers meet fire door requirements?
Yes, when properly installed these closers are designed to meet fire door code requirements. The electromagnetic holder releases during fire alarm activation, allowing proper door closing.
7) What mounting hardware comes with the closer?
Standard mounting hardware is typically included. Additional brackets or special mounting plates may be required depending on door construction and installation requirements.
8) How do I adjust the closing speed and latch speed?
Adjustable valves control closing speed and final latch speed. Use a small screwdriver to turn adjustment screws clockwise to decrease speed, counterclockwise to increase speed.
9) Can I replace an existing closer with a Checkmate 99 Series?
Check mounting hole patterns and door preparation requirements. The 99 Series may require different mounting than your existing closer. Verify compatibility before removal.
10) How does the electromagnetic holder integrate with fire alarm systems?
The holder connects to building fire alarm panels or smoke detectors. When alarm activates, power cuts to the electromagnet, releasing the door for automatic closing.
11) What type of doors work best with these closers?
These closers work on metal and wood doors in commercial applications. Door must be properly reinforced to handle closer forces and electromagnetic holder mounting.
