Norton Rixson D6011-36 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson D6000 operator work on a pair of doors at 42 inches wide?
Yes. The D6000 Series is a double door low energy operator built for door widths of 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48 inches, so 42 is a stock width option. Weight limit is 250 pounds per door, so check the leaf weight on heavy glass or lead-lined doors before you order. You pick the width at order time, one unit per leaf on the pair.
2) Does a low energy power operator like the Norton Rixson 6000 Series keep the door usable when the power goes out?
It does. The D6000 reverts to a mechanical door closer with the power off, so the opening still closes and latches on a dead circuit. That is the practical difference between a low energy operator and a full automatic operator, and it is why low energy units are the usual choice on egress doors in offices, schools and healthcare corridors.
3) Can the Norton Rixson 6000 operator be mounted on the pull side of the door?
Yes, and the unit is non-handed, so the same operator serves either leaf of the pair. Pull side is offered two ways: a slide track arm, or a double egress arm rated to 110 degrees for double egress pairs where the leaves swing opposite directions. Push side gives you four choices, including a standard duty arm that opens to 180 degrees where the wall allows it.
4) Is the Norton Rixson D6000 double door operator ADA compliant and ANSI certified?
ADA compliant, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.19, which is the standard covering power assist and low energy power operated doors. That pairing is what most institutional specs call for on an accessible entrance. It is a commercial duty unit rated heavy duty for high traffic openings.
5) I only need one leaf automated, not a pair. What should I order instead of the Norton Rixson 6000 double door operator?
The Norton Rixson 6000 Series is configured as a double door operator. For a single leaf, the DORMA ED900 in the push side top jamb mount configuration is built for single door application, and the LCN 9131 Benchmark is a pull side mount low energy electromechanical operator with ADA compliance while the LCN 9142 Benchmark is the push side mount version of that Benchmark family. Pick the LCN by which face of the door the operator lands on: 9131 for pull side, 9142 for push side.
6) What is a direct equivalent to the Norton Rixson 6000 Series low energy operator for a double door opening?
The Norton Rixson 6000 Series is a double door low energy power operator, ANSI/BHMA A156.19 certified and ADA compliant, covering 36 inch to 48 inch door widths. Among low energy swing door operators, the Dormakaba ED100LE (ED100 Series) and the DORMA ED50LE (ED50 Series, heavy duty) are the closest peers in the same operator class, as is the Cal-Royal 8600 Series low energy automatic swing door operator with obstacle detection. On a pair of doors, each leaf takes its own operator unit and the sequencing between leaves is set at commissioning, so the count of units is the same whichever brand you specify.
7) Our doors are heavier than 185 pounds. Is the LCN 6440 COMPACT an alternative to the Norton Rixson 6000 Series?
Watch the weight. The LCN 6440 COMPACT automatic operator module is rated for 185 lb doors on 24VDC with touchless access, and the LCN 6440XP COMPACT runs 24VDC low-energy operation with the same 185 lb door capacity. The Norton Rixson 6000 Series carries a maximum door weight of 250 pounds per door across 36 inch to 48 inch widths. On a leaf above 185 pounds the 6440 and 6440XP are outside their stated capacity, so the 6000 Series or another operator rated to the actual leaf weight is the correct specification.
8) What do I need to add to a Norton Rixson 6000 operator to make it touchless?
The operator takes door switches, wave to open switches, and radio frequency devices, and RF can be ordered on the unit itself as a yes or no option. Order the RF version if you want the receiver built in rather than added later. The activation devices themselves are separate items, so budget an actuator on each side of the opening plus the RF transmitters if you go that route.
9) What else can I use if my door is heavier than 250 pounds per leaf?
250 pounds per door is the ceiling on the D6000, so a heavier leaf needs a different unit. The DORMA ED50LE is a heavy duty low energy swing door operator, and the Dormakaba ED100LE and ED900 are also low energy swing operators worth pricing against your leaf weight. Confirm the leaf weight with the door manufacturer first, since glass and lead-lined doors run well past what a standard hollow metal leaf weighs.
10) I only need to automate one leaf, not a pair. Is the Norton 6000 the right thing to buy?
The D6000 is set up as a double door package, so for a single leaf look at a single door operator instead. The DORMA ED900 push side top jab mount is listed for single door application, and the LCN 6440 and 6440XP COMPACT operators are 24VDC low energy modules rated for 185 pound doors, which suits a single interior leaf. Note that 185 pounds is a lower ceiling than the 250 the Norton carries.
11) How much does the door need to open? Will the Norton 6000 swing to 180 degrees?
Swing depends on the arm you order. The push side double lever standard duty arm is offered to 180 degrees or to 110 degrees, while the two heavy duty push side arms and the pull side double egress arm are rated to 110 degrees. If you need the leaf flat against the wall for equipment movement, specify the 180 degree standard duty arm and confirm nothing in the reveal blocks it.
12) What is the difference between the LCN 6440 and the LCN 6440XP if I am cross-shopping against the Norton Rixson 6000?
Both are LCN COMPACT units built around a 24VDC supply and a 185 lb door capacity. The 6440 is described as an automatic operator module with touchless access; the 6440XP is described as an automatic door operator with low-energy operation, and it carries its own 6440XP Series designation while the 6440 sits in the 6400 Series. The Norton Rixson 6000 Series differs from both in scope: it is a double door unit with onboard LCN screen programming, a WiFi graphic interface, and an optional radio frequency configuration ordered as part of the unit.
13) I need obstacle detection on an automatic swing door. Which operator covers that?
The Cal-Royal 8600 Series low energy automatic swing door operator is specified with obstacle detection. The SDC AUTOP Series is a low energy automatic door operator with microprocessor control. The Norton Rixson 6000 Series is ANSI/BHMA A156.19 certified with onboard electronics that collect usage and cycle count data for preventative maintenance scheduling, and it is programmed through an onboard LCN screen or a WiFi graphic interface. Match the operator to whichever behavior your safety review is asking for.
14) Can I put a standard heavy duty swing door operator on a double egress pair instead of the Norton Rixson 6000?
Double egress pairs swing in opposite directions, so the arm has to be called out for it. The Norton Rixson 6000 Series offers a pull side double egress arm in standard duty to 110 degrees as an ordering option, alongside push side double lever arms in standard duty to 110 and to 180 degrees. Peer units such as the DORMA ED50LE, which is a heavy duty operator in the ED50 Series, and the DORMA ED900 in its push side top jamb mount form are specified by mounting side, so a double egress pair needs the arm configuration verified per leaf before either is substituted.
15) We are standardizing a facility on one operator finish. How does the Norton Rixson 6000 compare with the Dormakaba units on appearance?
The Norton Rixson 6000 Series is ordered in 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, BSP black suede powder, or WSP white suede powder, which gives painted black and white options in addition to the two standard architectural metals. The Dormakaba ED100LE and the DORMA ED50LE are both carried in an anodized finish. If the standard across the building is a painted white or black cover, the 6000 Series carries that in its own finish list.
16) Is a low energy operator like the SDC AUTOP the same thing as a surface door closer?
No. The SDC AUTOP Series and the Norton Rixson 6000 Series are both low energy automatic door operators, meaning powered opening with an activation device rather than a purely manual push. The Norton Rixson 6000 Series does double as a mechanical door closer when power is off, and it accepts door switches, wave-to-open switches, and radio frequency devices for touchless activation, with the RF configuration ordered as part of the unit. A plain surface closer has no powered open cycle and no activation input, so it does not substitute where an ADA power operator is being specified.
17) Which of these operators is rated for heavy duty high traffic use?
The Norton Rixson 6000 Series is specified as heavy duty with a high traffic rating for commercial use. Among the peers, the DORMA ED50LE is likewise specified as a heavy duty operator in the ED50 Series. For a hospital or school entrance running continuous cycles, both are the heavy duty end of the low energy operator range, and the 6000 Series adds onboard cycle count data that lets maintenance schedule service against actual use.
18) Will the Norton Rixson D6000 match aluminum storefront or dark bronze entrances?
Four finishes cover it: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, black suede powder and white suede powder. 689 and 690 are the standard architectural pairing for clear anodized and dark bronze storefront, and the two suede powders handle painted frames where you want the cover to disappear. Property managers standardizing a building can hold one finish across every opening.
19) How do you program a Norton Rixson 6000 low energy operator after install?
Setup runs off an onboard LCN screen plus a WiFi graphic interface, so a tech adjusts opening force, closing speed and hold open timing from a phone or laptop at the door instead of pulling covers and turning pots. The board also logs usage and cycle counts, which is what you want on a maintenance program across a portfolio of openings.
