Upgrade commercial openings for accessible, low-energy automatic operation with the Norton Rixson 5730 Automatic Door Operator in 689 Aluminum Finish.

Part of the proven 5700 Series, the 5730 combines a heavy-duty Norton 1600 Series hydraulic door closer with powered automatic opening. The door can still be opened manually like a conventional closer, making it an excellent choice for entrances that normally operate manually but require automatic activation for accessibility.

The 5730 is specifically designed for push-side mounting and includes a double-lever arm for dependable operation on commercial swing doors.

Push-Side Application

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

It uses a traditional double-lever arm and accommodates frame reveals ranging approximately from:

2-5/8" minimum to 6-3/4" maximum

For applications requiring pull-side mounting, the Norton 5710 configuration should be considered. The 5740 provides a universal configuration with both push- and pull-side arm options.

Low-Energy Automatic Operation

The 5730 provides powered opening when activated through a compatible:

• Push plate

• Wall switch

• Touchless wave-to-open switch

• Radio-frequency transmitter

• Motion or activation sensor

• Access-control system

After activation, the operator opens the door and holds it open for the programmed period before allowing the hydraulic closer to provide a smooth, controlled closing cycle.

Manual Door Operation

One of the major advantages of the Norton 5700 Series is that the door remains comfortable to operate manually.

When opened by hand, the drive motor is not required to force the door through its swing. The integrated hydraulic closer provides the feel and controlled closing action of a conventional commercial door closer.

If electrical power is lost, the door continues to function as a mechanical door closer.

• Assisted living facilities
