Norton Rixson D6001DEL-36 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson 6000 Series double egress operator work on a pair of double egress doors in a healthcare corridor?
That's exactly the opening it's built for. The D6000DEL is a double egress package, meaning the pair swings in opposite directions, one leaf each way, which is the standard corridor arrangement in hospitals and care facilities. Each leaf can be 36 to 48 inches wide and up to 250 lbs. Order handing per leaf, Left Hand or Right Hand, since the package is offered both ways.
2) What happens to the door when the power goes out on a Norton Rixson 6000 low energy operator?
It reverts to a mechanical door closer. With power off the 6000 Series operator still closes and latches the door under spring force, so the opening stays controlled during an outage. That's the reason low energy operators are accepted on egress corridors: nobody gets trapped behind a dead motor. Powered assist and the hold open function come back when power is restored.
3) My door frame has a deep reveal. Which arm do I order for a Norton Rixson 6000 pull side operator?
Measure from the face of the door to the face of the frame stop before you order. The standard pull side arm covers a conventional reveal. For deeper frames there are two extended options, one for 3-1/6 inch to 4-3/4 inch reveal and one for 4-13/16 inch to 7 inch reveal. Getting this wrong is the most common reason a power operator install stalls on site, because the arm physically cannot reach the door at the correct angle.
4) My double doors are 250 lbs each and 48 inches wide, is that too big for a low energy operator?
That's right at the top of the range and still within it. The 6000 Series double egress operator handles a maximum door weight of 250 lbs and door widths from 36 up to 48 inches, and it is rated heavy duty for high traffic. Anything wider than 48 inches or heavier than 250 lbs is outside what this package is specified for, and you'd need a different operator class.
5) What do I need to specify when ordering a Norton Rixson D6000DEL double egress operator?
Five things. Handing, left or right. Door width in two inch steps from 36 to 48 inches. Arm, standard pull side or one of the two deep reveal versions covering 3-1/6 to 4-3/4 inches and 4-13/16 to 7 inches. Finish, 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, BSP black suede powder or WSP white suede powder. And whether you want the radio frequency option. Measure the frame reveal and the actual leaf width on site first, because those two drive the arm and width selections.
6) What is a low energy operator equivalent to the Norton Rixson 6000 Series for a heavy interior door?
The Norton Rixson D6000DEL is a low energy power operator rated heavy duty for high traffic commercial doors, carrying ANSI/BHMA A156.19 and ADA compliance. The closest peer in the same duty class is the DORMA ED50LE, a low energy medium to heavy duty swing door operator. Both are surface applied low energy swing operators for commercial openings, so the choice generally comes down to mounting configuration and door leaf arrangement rather than duty class.
7) The Norton Rixson 6000 double egress operator is sized for a pair of doors. What do I use on a single leaf opening instead?
The Norton Rixson D6000DEL is configured for double egress pairs, with left hand and right hand units and door widths from 36 to 48 inches. For a single leaf, the DORMA ED900 push side top jamb mount low energy swing door operator is built for single door application, and the LCN 9131 Benchmark low energy electromechanical operator is a pull side mount unit with ADA compliance. Pick between those two by which face of the door you can mount on.
8) Is the LCN 9142 a drop in replacement for a Norton Rixson 6000 Series pull side operator?
No. The Norton Rixson D6000DEL is offered with pull side arms only, including deep reveal arms for 3-1/6 to 4-3/4 inch and 4-13/16 to 7 inch reveals. The LCN 9142 Benchmark low energy electromechanical operator is a push side mount unit, so it lands on the opposite face of the door and needs different prep. The LCN 9131 Benchmark is the pull side mount unit in that family.
9) Do I need to order a separate wireless receiver for wave to open push plates with the Norton Rixson 6000?
Not if you order the radio frequency option built in. The double egress operator is configurable with RF either yes or no, so you can factory specify onboard radio frequency and pair wireless actuators directly. It also accepts hardwired door switches and wave to open switches. If you're running conduit to hardwired push plates anyway, take the no RF version.
10) Can the Norton Rixson 6000 operator mount on the push side, or is it pull side only?
The operator itself is non handed and mounts push or pull side, so one unit covers either configuration. Note that the double egress arm packages offered here are pull side, in a standard reveal plus two deep reveal versions. If your application needs the arm on the push side of the leaf, that's a different arm package within the same 6000 Series family.
11) What's the difference between the Norton Rixson 6000 double egress operator and an LCN 9131 or 9142 Benchmark operator?
The Norton Rixson D6000DEL is sold as a double egress double door package, handed left or right, with the door width and arm reveal selected up front for a pair. The LCN 9131 Benchmark is a pull side mount low energy operator and the LCN 9142 is the push side mount version of the same Benchmark family, each specified per leaf. If your pair is double egress and you want the operators matched as a set, the Norton package is the direct route; if you're doing a single leaf or mixing mounting sides, the Benchmark pair covers it.
12) I need a low energy operator for doors lighter than 250 lbs. What are my other options besides the Norton Rixson 6000?
For lighter leaves the LCN 6440 COMPACT and the 6440XP are 24VDC low energy operators rated to 185 lb doors, and the 6440 includes touchless access. The Dormakaba ED50LE is a medium to heavy duty swing door operator, and the ED100LE and ED900 sit in the same low energy family, the ED900 offered as a push side top jamb mount for single door applications. Cal-Royal's 8600 Series includes obstacle detection, and SDC's AUTOP Series is microprocessor controlled. The Norton 6000 is the one to stay with when the leaf runs up to 250 lbs.
13) Which automatic operators offer obstacle detection or onboard control programming like the Norton Rixson 6000?
The Norton Rixson D6000DEL programs through an onboard LCN screen with adjustable settings and accepts door switches, wave to open switches, and RF devices, with radio frequency available as a factory option. Among comparable operators, the Cal-Royal 8600 Series low energy automatic swing door operator includes obstacle detection, and the SDC AUTOP Series low energy automatic door operator uses microprocessor control. All three give you adjustable or sensing control at the operator rather than only at an external actuator.
14) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 6000 double egress operator come in to match the rest of my openings?
Four: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. 689 aluminum is the usual match for clear anodized aluminum storefront and hollow metal painted to a light color, and 690 dark bronze matches dark anodized frames. The two suede powder coats are for buildings standardizing on flat black or white trim rather than a metallic.
15) How do I adjust opening speed and hold open time on a Norton Rixson 6000 operator after it's installed?
Adjustments are made at the unit itself. The 6000 Series has an onboard LCN screen programming interface, so opening and closing behavior and hold open are set through the display rather than by counting turns on a needle valve. Document the settings once the opening is commissioned, since a facility standardizing several doors will want them matched.
16) Is the Norton Rixson 6000 Series operator suitable for an exterior entrance or interior only?
Both. The 6000 Series is rated for high traffic interior and exterior door applications and is a commercial grade unit, not a residential one. Heavy duty construction from the backplate through the internal components is what carries the exterior duty cycle.
