Norton 506 Round ADA Wall Switch — 6-Inch Hard Wired, Satin Stainless (32D)

The Norton 506 is a 6-inch round, hard-wired ADA-compliant wall switch designed to activate low-energy automatic door operators in commercial, institutional, and accessible-building applications. Finished in 32D (satin stainless) with blue lettering and the universal ADA accessibility symbol, the 506 provides a clean, code-conscious activation point for pedestrians who require hands-free or push-to-open door access. This is the hard-wired round plate model — not the 505 (square profile) and not the 533 (RF wireless) — making it the right choice for new construction and renovation projects where conduit wiring is planned or already in place.

Key Features & Benefits

• ADA Symbol & Blue Lettering: Clearly communicates accessible door activation in compliance with accessibility design standards; ideal for public corridors, healthcare facilities, and educational buildings.
• 6-Inch Round Format: Large-diameter plate provides an easy, highly visible target for users with mobility limitations or those carrying loads; round profile suits a wide range of wall and pilaster mounting locations.
• Hard-Wired Connection: Designed for permanent, reliable electrical connection — no battery replacement, no RF pairing required. Integrates cleanly with conduit runs on new or retrofit commercial projects.
• 32D Satin Stainless Finish: Corrosion-resistant finish compatible with institutional and healthcare environments; blends with standard commercial hardware finishes and stainless door frames.
• Compatible with Norton Low-Energy Operators: Intended for use with Norton low-energy automatic door operator series including the 4500, 5200, 5700, 5800, 6200, and 6300 families, which carry a 2-year warranty on the operator units.
• Simple, Durable Construction: Robust push-plate format engineered for high-traffic commercial use with a consistently recognizable activation interface.

Typical Applications

• Healthcare facilities, hospitals, and medical office buildings
• Educational institutions and university buildings
• Government and municipal buildings
• Retail, hotel lobbies, and mixed-use commercial properties
• Any ADA-compliant entrance or interior door served by a low-energy automatic operator
