Norton 531 Radio Frequency Wall Switch — 6-Inch Square, ADA Compliant, Finish 32D

The Norton 531 is a 6-inch square radio frequency (RF) wall switch designed to activate compatible low-energy automatic door operators without hardwired connections between the switch and the operator. Finished in 32D (satin stainless) with blue lettering and the international ADA accessibility symbol, the 531 provides a clean, institutional appearance suited to healthcare, education, government, and commercial facilities requiring accessible entry solutions. This listing is for the RF (radio frequency) model — not the 505 hard-wired switch — making installation cleaner and more flexible where conduit runs are impractical.

Key Features & Benefits

• Radio Frequency (Wireless) Operation: Eliminates the need for a dedicated low-voltage wire run between the push plate and the operator, reducing installation labor and conduit costs.
• ADA Symbol & Blue Lettering: Stainless face plate features the universally recognized wheelchair accessibility symbol in blue, meeting facility signage expectations for accessible entrances.
• 6-Inch Square Format: Large push surface is easy to activate for individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, or who have limited hand dexterity — a practical fit for ADA-compliant door automation projects.
• 32D Satin Stainless Finish: Corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance finish blends with commercial and institutional hardware specifications across a wide range of door frames and wall surfaces.
• Compatible with Norton Low-Energy Operator Lines: Intended for use with Norton's 4500, 5200, 5700, 5800, 6200, and 6300 series low-energy operators, which carry a 2-year warranty from Norton.
• Surface-Mount Installation: Mounts directly to the wall adjacent to the door, at ADA-compliant height, with no through-wall wiring required between switch and operator.

Typical Applications

• Healthcare facilities — patient room doors, corridor entries, and restroom access
• Educational buildings — classroom and hallway automatic door activation
• Government and municipal buildings requiring accessible entry compliance
• Retail and commercial lobbies upgrading to low-energy automatic operators
• Renovation projects where running new conduit for a hard-wired switch is cost-prohibitive
