5700 Series Low Energy Power Operator | Push-Side Mount | Double Lever Arm | ADA Applications | 120VAC

The Norton 5730 Automatic Door Operator is a commercial low-energy electrohydraulic door operator designed to provide dependable automatic opening while maintaining the smooth feel and control of a traditional hydraulic door closer.

Designed for push-side / top-jamb mounting, the 5730 uses a standard-duty double lever arm and is ideal for commercial openings where the door is normally operated manually but automatic activation is required for accessibility.

Finished in 689 Aluminum Painted, the operator coordinates with common commercial aluminum, stainless, and architectural door hardware.

Push-Side Application

The Norton 5730 is specifically designed for installation on the push side of the door.

The standard double-lever arm accommodates frame reveals approximately:

• 2-5/8" minimum

• 6-3/4" maximum

Maximum door swing is approximately 170°, depending on the door, frame, trim, and surrounding conditions.

An auxiliary door stop should be provided where required by the installation.

Low Energy Automatic Operation

The 5730 is designed for openings where users may normally operate the door manually but require automatic assistance through an activation device.

Compatible activation methods can include:

• Wall push plates

• Wireless push buttons

• Wave-to-open switches

• Motion sensors

• Radio-frequency transmitters

• Access-control systems

Activation devices are sold separately unless specifically included with the operator package.

Hydraulic Door Closer Operation

The Norton 5700 Series incorporates a commercial hydraulic closer into the automatic operator.

When automatic power is not being used, the door retains the feel and operation of a conventional commercial door closer.

If electrical power is turned off or interrupted, the operator continues to function mechanically as a door closer.

Adjustable Hold Open

The automatic hold-open period can be adjusted from approximately:

0–30 seconds

For accessibility applications, the hold-open setting should be configured according to applicable ANSI/BHMA A156.19, ADA, and local requirements.

Obstruction Detection

The operator incorporates obstruction detection during the opening cycle.

If the door encounters an obstruction while opening, the motor stops and allows the door to return under controlled mechanical spring force.

This helps protect the operator while supporting safer low-energy operation.

Motor Start Delay

The 5730 provides an adjustable motor start delay, allowing electrified locking hardware time to release before the operator begins opening the door.

This is particularly useful when the opening incorporates:

• Electric strikes

• Magnetic locks

• Electrified exit devices

• Access-control locking hardware

Compatible locking hardware may require its own separate power supply.

Push & Close Function

The operator's Push & Close feature allows a user to manually begin closing the door before the programmed automatic hold-open time has expired.

This can improve convenience in applications where the full hold-open period is not always required.
