Norton 5710-RF1 Low Energy Door Operator — Pull Side with Radio Frequency Activation, Finish 689

The Norton 5710-RF1 is a commercial-grade, low energy automatic door operator from the Norton 5700 Series, designed for pull-side installation and equipped with the RF1 radio frequency activation option. Manufactured by Norton (Norton-Rixson / ASSA ABLOY), the 5700 Series is a widely specified low energy operator for institutional, healthcare, education, and accessibility-compliance applications. This listing is specifically for the RF1 radio frequency variant in Finish 689 (Aluminum) — not the standard 5710 base model or the 5710DMY dummy configuration.

Low energy operators differ from full-power automatic operators in that they open the door at a controlled, slower speed that meets accessibility needs while remaining safe for high-traffic corridors. The RF1 option adds wireless radio frequency activation, allowing touchless or remote actuation via compatible RF transmitters — ideal for ADA accessible entrances where a traditional push-pad or wall switch may not be practical or preferred.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pull-Side Low Energy Operation: Engineered for pull-side mounting, providing smooth, code-compliant automatic opening on the egress side of the door leaf.
• Radio Frequency (RF1) Activation: Enables wireless, touchless door activation via RF transmitter — supports accessibility goals and reduces surface contact at high-traffic entry points.
• 5700 Series Platform: Part of Norton's established 5700 Series low energy operator family, a specification-grade line used in commercial, institutional, and healthcare environments.
• Finish 689 (Aluminum): Standard aluminum finish coordinates with common commercial door frame and hardware finishes for a clean, professional appearance.
• 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Norton covers the 5700 Series low energy operators under a 2-year warranty, applicable to the 4500, 5200, 5700, 5800, 6200, and 6300 low energy operator families.
• ADA & Accessibility Applications: Low energy operators like the 5710-RF1 are commonly installed to satisfy ADA accessible entrance requirements and ICC A117.1 recommendations for accessible door hardware.

Typical Applications

• Healthcare facilities — patient room and corridor doors
• Educational and institutional buildings — ADA accessible entrances
• Government and municipal buildings requiring accessible entry compliance
• Office building lobbies and common-area doors
• Retail and commercial storefronts where touchless activation is desired
