Why Choose Norton Rixson Quality?

Norton Rixson 6000 Series operators deliver professional-grade reliability with heavy-duty electrohydraulic construction and modular design for simplified maintenance. ANSI/BHMA A156.19 certification and ADA compliance ensure code conformity while onboard electronics collect usage and cycle count data to facilitate preventative maintenance. Engineered for demanding commercial applications where dependable automated door operation and accessibility compliance are essential.

Norton Rixson D6031-36D 690 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Norton Rixson 6000 Series operator still close the door if the power goes out?
It does. With power on it runs as a low energy automatic operator; with power off it reverts to a mechanical door closer, so the opening still closes and latches. That is what makes it usable on a door that is also part of the egress and fire separation path, and it means a power failure does not leave you with a door standing open or a leaf you have to shove against a dead motor.
2) Do I need to specify a hand when ordering a Norton Rixson 6000 Series double door operator?
Handing comes up in two places on the 6000 Series and they do not mean the same thing. The operator body itself is a non-handed design, which is why one unit covers push and pull side work. But the double egress versions are handed as ordered, with separate left and right units (D6001DE-L and D6001DE-R) and their own installation sheets. If your pair swings both leaves the same direction, handing is not a decision; if it is a double egress pair, it is, and you need to state which.
3) Does the Norton Rixson 6000 Series meet ADA and the low energy operator standard for a public building entrance?
It is ADA compliant and built to ANSI/BHMA A156.19, the standard that governs low energy power operated doors. It is also ETL tested to UL/cUL 325 and UL 10C positive pressure rated. For a specifier standardizing across a facility, that combination is what lets the same operator go on an accessible entrance and on a fire rated opening.
4) I only need to automate one door, not a pair. Is this the right operator?
No. This is the double door configuration of the 6000 Series, built to drive both leaves of a pair. For a single opening, look at a single door operator such as the DORMA ED900 push side top jamb mount unit, which is listed for single door application, or the Dormakaba ED100LE or ED50LE swing door operators. Within the Norton 6000 Series itself the single door units are the 6011 and 6051 on the pull side and the 6021 and 6031 on the push side, each with its own installation sheet.
5) Is an LCN 9131 or 9142 Benchmark operator a substitute for the Norton Rixson 6000 Series double door unit?
They are both low energy automatic operators but they are not the same machine. The LCN 9131 Benchmark and the LCN 9142 Benchmark are electromechanical low-energy operators, the 9131 in pull side mount and the 9142 in push side mount. The Norton Rixson 6000 Series operator is electrohydraulic, and its dual power design means it continues working as a mechanical door closer when power is off. If the specification calls for hydraulic closing behavior without power, the Benchmark units are a different mechanism, not a drop-in. If it calls for a single leaf on a stated mounting side, the 9131 and 9142 answer that directly.
6) The doors are lighter than 185 pounds and the header space is tight. What operator works instead of a full electrohydraulic unit?
Look at the LCN 6440 COMPACT automatic operator module, which runs on 24VDC with touchless access for doors up to 185 lb, or the LCN 6440XP COMPACT, also a 24VDC low-energy operator rated to 185 lb doors. Both are compact modules rather than the surface-mounted electrohydraulic build of the Norton Rixson 6000 Series, which is rated to 250 pounds per door. If the leaf weight is inside 185 lb, the COMPACT modules cover the opening; above that, the Norton Rixson unit is the one that carries the weight.
7) Can I add a wave to open or touchless switch to a Norton Rixson 6000 Series operator?
Yes. The 6000 Series accepts door switches, wave to open switches, and radio frequency devices, so a touchless activation setup is a wiring and programming exercise rather than a different operator. The actuators themselves are separate items, not part of the operator, so order them alongside it. Setup runs through the onboard LCN screen or the WiFi graphic interface from a phone or laptop.
8) What is the difference between the Norton Rixson 6000 Series and an LCN 6440 or 9142 operator?
The Norton Rixson 6000 Series is electrohydraulic from the backplate through the internal components, and this configuration is a double door unit sized for two leaves of 36 to 48 inches at up to 250 pounds each. The LCN 9142 Benchmark and 9131 Benchmark are electromechanical rather than hydraulic, the 9142 push side mount and the 9131 pull side mount. The LCN 6440 and 6440XP COMPACT operators run 24VDC and are rated to 185 pound doors, which puts them under the Norton's per leaf weight. If the leaves are heavy, the weight figures decide it.
9) Is the Norton 6000 Series heavy enough for a hospital or school corridor that cycles all day?
It is rated heavy duty and specified for commercial use, with electrohydraulic construction through the backplate and internal components. Healthcare patient access areas, education corridors, and retail entries are the applications it is built around. The practical limit is not traffic, it is the leaf: 250 pounds per door and 36 to 48 inches wide.
10) What is the difference between the Dormakaba ED100LE and the ED50LE for a commercial swing door?
Both are Dormakaba low energy swing door operators, the ED100LE in the ED100 Series and the ED50LE in the ED50 Series, with the ED50LE carried as Heavy Duty. The Norton Rixson 6000 Series operator is also rated Heavy Duty and is a commercial unit certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.19. If the submittal requires an A156.19 low energy operator on a pair of doors, the Norton Rixson double door unit states that certification; the ED100LE and ED50LE are the Dormakaba alternates to evaluate against the same opening.
11) Which automatic operators offer obstacle detection or microprocessor control as an alternative here?
The Cal-Royal 8600 Series is a low energy automatic swing door operator with obstacle detection, and the SDC AUTOP Series is a low energy automatic door operator with microprocessor control. The Norton Rixson 6000 Series operator handles setup through onboard LCN screen programming with a WiFi graphic interface, and its electronics collect usage and cycle count data for preventative maintenance. All three are low energy operators; the deciding factor is whether the facility wants cycle count data off the unit or a control approach built around obstacle detection.
12) Can the 6000 Series operator tell me when it needs service?
The onboard electronics collect usage and cycle count data for preventative maintenance planning, readable through the LCN screen or the WiFi graphic interface. For an MRO or facilities group running a large door count, that lets you schedule service on actual cycles at a busy entrance rather than on a calendar interval applied to every opening equally.
