Norton Rixson PR7701-5-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Norton Rixson PR7701-5 and what does it do on a door closer?
The PR7701-5 is a parallel rigid arm assembly that connects a Norton Rixson door closer body to the frame or door in a parallel arm mounting. It is non-hold open, so the door closes and stays closed every cycle with no detent to catch it open. The rigid link, rather than a hold-open or friction arm, keeps the arm geometry fixed and transfers closing force in a controlled line, which is why it is specified on commercial openings that see constant traffic.
2) Will the PR7701-5 arm work on any brand of door closer?
No. This arm assembly is built specifically for Norton Rixson door closer systems and is intended to mount to that closer's arm and shoe pattern. If the closer body on the opening is another manufacturer, source that maker's own parallel arm instead of adapting this one.
3) I need the door to stay propped open. Is this the right arm?
It isn't. The PR7701-5 is the non-hold open version, so there is no mechanism to hold the leaf open at any degree. For an opening where staff want the door parked open, you need a hold-open arm assembly rather than this rigid one. Note that on fire rated openings a mechanical hold-open arm is generally not permitted anyway, which is one reason the non-hold open rigid arm is the common spec in corridors and stairwells.
4) Is this a push plate or access control switch?
No, and the name can mislead. The PR7701-5 is a mechanical closer arm, not a touchless or push-button actuator. If what you actually need is a wall switch to trigger an automatic operator, look at a push plate actuator such as the SDC 480 Series or the Camden CM-40 4-1/2 inch round switch instead.
5) Can an SDC 480 Series push plate actuator be used in place of the Norton Rixson PR7701-5?
No. The PR7701-5 is a parallel rigid arm assembly for Norton Rixson door closers, a mechanical linkage that connects the closer body to the door or frame and returns the door closed with no hold-open. The SDC 480 Series is a push plate actuator built with 18 gauge stainless steel construction, which is a wall or jamb mounted switch a user presses to signal an operator or release a lock. One is the closer's arm, the other is the button that calls for the door to open, so they serve different points in the opening and are not interchangeable.
6) We need a wall switch to trigger an automatic operator, not a closer arm. What should we look at instead of the PR7701-5?
The PR7701-5 is a parallel rigid arm assembly for Norton Rixson door closers and has no switching function, so it will not actuate an operator. For a wall mounted actuator, the Camden CM-40 Series is a 4-1/2 inch round all-active switch and the CM-60 Series is a 6 inch round all-active switch offered wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter. The Locknetics PPH-100-PL is a large round push plate supplied with a box in black or aluminum. Pick by plate diameter and whether you want wired or wireless signalling.
7) What finishes does the PR7701-5 parallel arm come in, and can I match it to the closer cover?
Two finishes: 689 aluminum and 690 dark bronze. Those are the two standard painted finishes used across commercial closer covers and arms, so pick the one that matches the closer bodies already on your other openings. For a building standardized on aluminum-finish closers, order 689; a dark bronze storefront package takes 690.
8) Is a parallel arm better than a regular arm mount for my opening?
Parallel arm mounting puts the closer on the pull side of the door with the arm running flat against the face, tucked in close under the frame stop. That is what you want where the arm would otherwise project into the opening or be exposed to abuse, which is the usual case on school corridors, healthcare doors and retail entries. A regular arm mount projects out from the frame and is the choice where the pull-side face is not available. The PR7701-5 is the parallel arm version, so specify it only when the closer is being set up for parallel mounting.
9) Do I need to cut a new template, or does this arm drop onto an existing closer?
The arm assembly comes with pre-drilled holes for the shoe and arm connections, so on a closer already prepped for parallel arm mounting it goes on with the existing prep. If you are converting a closer from regular arm to parallel arm, the frame soffit plate location changes and you will need to lay out the parallel arm template on the stop face.
10) The opening needs a timed delay on the release, not just a momentary contact. What covers that?
A closer arm such as the PR7701-5 has no electrical function at all, so timing is handled at the actuator. The Alarm Controls JP Series is a pneumatic time delay jumbo push plate, and the Alarm Controls PD Series covers the pneumatic time delay PD, PN, PS and PT vandal resistant push plates for openings where the plate will take abuse. Choose the JP for the larger jumbo plate face or the PD family where vandal resistance is the driver.
11) For an ADA vestibule with two doors, is the PR7701-5 part of that package?
The PR7701-5 is the closer arm on a single leaf and does not coordinate a vestibule. For the actuation side, the SDC 480V Series is a vestibule push plate actuator with dual switch activation, and the SDC 480AA Series is a 36 inch by 6 inch Ingress-R.E.X touch panel column for ADA compliant access control where you want a full height touch surface instead of a small plate. For approach actuation away from the wall, the SDC BP Series square bollard posts are 6 inch by 6 inch, with the BPS6 surface mount at 42 inches and the BPG6 in-ground at 54 inches.
12) Will this arm hold up on a high traffic entrance?
It's built for it. The assembly uses high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials and is rated commercial rather than residential, with the rigid geometry spreading closing stress across the door and frame instead of concentrating it at the arm joint. That is the reason it gets specified on office lobbies, schools, hospitals and warehouse openings where the leaf cycles all day.
13) Will the PR7701-5 finish choices match the push plate hardware on the same opening?
The PR7701-5 arm assembly is offered in 689 aluminum and 690 dark bronze. Among actuators, the Locknetics PPH-100-PL large round push plate is offered in black or aluminum, so an aluminum plate reads closest to the 689 arm. The SDC 480 Series actuators are 18 gauge stainless steel construction, which is a different surface appearance than a painted aluminum or dark bronze arm. Match the arm finish to the closer cover first, then select the plate finish against it.
