Norton Rixson 0601-24V-689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Norton Rixson Smok-Chek V hold open a heavy cross-corridor fire door?
The Smok-Chek V handles doors up to 4 feet wide and 250 lbs, which covers most cross-corridor and stairwell fire doors. Holding force is 35 lbs. If the leaf is wider than 4'0" or heavier than 250 lbs, this is the wrong unit for that opening.
2) Does the Smok-Chek V closer release the door automatically when the fire alarm goes off?
Yes. A concealed switch drops the hold-open function when the fire alarm system signals, and the closer then shuts the door for compartmentalization and egress. That is the whole point of the unit: closer and electromagnetic holder in one body rather than a separate magnet and closer wired together.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Smok-Chek V electrified closer?
No handing to specify. The unit is non-handed and mounts push side or pull side. What you do have to choose is the arm configuration: push side mounting, pull side mounting, holder on the pull side with closer on the push side, deep reveal/180 degree swing versions, and holder-only versions without the closer.
4) What voltage does the Smok-Chek V run on, and can I tie it into an existing 120V circuit?
Two power options: 24VDC or 120VAC. Pick 120VAC if you are running the holder off building power at the header; pick 24VDC when it is fed from a fire alarm panel or low voltage power supply. Confirm your supply before ordering, because voltage is built into the part, not field selectable.
5) Is the Smok-Chek V fire rated for a 3-hour opening?
UL-cUL fire rated up to 3 hours, and CAL FIRE certified. That covers cross-corridor fire doors, stair doors, and fire compartmentation openings in healthcare, schools, and government buildings.
6) What should be used instead of a Smok-Chek V on a double egress cross corridor pair?
A double egress pair swings each leaf the opposite way, which is outside what a standard non-handed surface closer-holder arm set is arranged for. The Sargent 351EHTD is built for that opening specifically - it is an electromechanical double egress closer-holder with fire-rated hold open, Grade 1 heavy duty. On a normal single-swing corridor door, the Smok-Chek V covers doors to 250 lbs with push or pull side arms.
7) Can I get a Smok-Chek V holder without the door closer built in?
Yes. Three of the arm configurations are holder only: pull side mounting holder only, push side mounting holder only, and push side holder only with the deep reveal/180 degree swing arm. Use those where the door already has a closer you are keeping and you only need the electromagnetic hold-open with alarm release.
8) How much header space does a Smok-Chek V need above the door?
It needs 2 inches of header. That is why it gets specified in low ceiling clearance jobs where a separate wall magnet and surface closer will not fit, since the closing and holding functions live in one single-point unit.
9) Smok-Chek V or a multi-point hold open closer, which do I need?
The Smok-Chek V is a single-point unit: it holds at one position. If you need the door to hold at multiple points along the swing, the Sargent 2300 Grade 1 Fire Guard electromechanical closer is a multi-point hold open. The Sargent 2409 is the single-point equivalent in that line. Multi-point matters where traffic patterns want the door parked at different angles; single point is simpler and is what most cross-corridor doors get.
10) Can a standard non-electrified surface closer be used where a Smok-Chek V is called for?
No. A plain surface closer has no electrical connection and no way to receive a signal from the fire alarm, so a door held open by a mechanical hold open arm would stay open in an alarm. The Smok-Chek V is an electronic unit run on 24VDC or 120VAC, and the hold open drops out on alarm. Where a Grade 1 heavy duty electromechanical alternative is needed, the Sargent 2409 Fire Guard single point and 2300 Fire Guard multi-point work on the same principle.
11) What is the difference between a single-point and a multi-point electromechanical hold open closer?
Single point means the door holds at one preset position; multi-point means it can be held anywhere through a range of the swing. The Smok-Chek V is a single-point closer-holder with a 35 holding force. The Sargent 2300 Fire Guard is the multi-point arrangement, Grade 1 heavy duty in the 2300 Series, for openings where the door needs to stand open at more than one angle. Both drop the door on a fire alarm signal.
12) Is a magnetic door holder a substitute for a Smok-Chek V?
Not on its own. A wall or floor magnet only holds the door - it does not close it, so the opening still needs a separate surface closer and the two devices have to be coordinated. The Smok-Chek V is a combined electromechanical closer and holder in one unit, which is why it suits headers with limited space. If only the holding function is wanted because a closer is already on the door, the Smok-Chek V is also arranged as holder-only in both push side and pull side mounting.
13) Which electromechanical closer-holder should be specified when the opening calls for a Grade 1 heavy duty device by name?
When the drawing calls out ANSI Grade 1 heavy duty in writing, the Sargent Fire Guard units carry that designation: the 2409 Series single point and the 2300 Series multi-point are both listed Grade 1 heavy duty, as is the 351EHTD double egress closer-holder. All three are electromechanical hold open closers with fire alarm release, the same operating principle as the Smok-Chek V.
14) What finishes does the Smok-Chek V come in for matching the rest of a building's door hardware?
Six finishes: 689 aluminum, 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 696 satin brass painted, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. The suede powder finishes are the ones people pick to blend the unit into a painted header or ceiling.
