Norton 565 Radio Frequency Conversion Kit — Two-Switch Package

The Norton 565 Radio Frequency Conversion Kit is a complete wireless upgrade package designed for Norton low-energy automatic door operators. This two-switch kit allows facility managers, contractors, and ADA compliance teams to convert compatible Norton operator openings to radio-frequency (RF) push-button activation — eliminating the need for hard-wired wall switches in retrofit or new-construction installations. The 565 kit is sold as a complete two-station package, not as a single spare button.

What's Included in the Norton 565 Kit

• 2× ADA1019-2 Switches: Accessible push-plate switches designed for ADA-compliant door operator activation, suitable for mounting at standard accessible heights on both sides of a door opening.
• 2× Norton 548 Transmitters (433 MHz): Wireless RF transmitters operating at 433 MHz, paired with each ADA1019-2 switch to send activation signals to the receiver without wired runs between the switch and operator.
• 1× Norton 539 Receiver (433 MHz): A single RF receiver unit operating at 433 MHz, mounted at the operator and tuned to accept signals from both paired 548 transmitters.

Key Features & Benefits

• Wireless Retrofit Flexibility: Eliminates low-voltage wiring runs between push plates and the operator — ideal for retrofit projects where running conduit is cost-prohibitive or disruptive.
• Complete Two-Station Coverage: Covers both sides of a single door opening (approach and egress), making this a ready-to-deploy ADA activation solution in a single part number.
• 433 MHz RF Technology: The matched 548 transmitter / 539 receiver pair operates on the 433 MHz frequency band, providing reliable signal range typical of commercial interior applications.
• ADA-Compliant Push Plates: The included ADA1019-2 switches are styled for accessible activation, supporting compliance with ADA and ANSI A117.1 accessible door hardware requirements when installed correctly.
• Fast Availability: Ships within 1 business day, minimizing downtime for time-sensitive ADA compliance projects or operator service calls.

Installation Considerations

Norton's operator documentation notes that metal enclosures can attenuate RF signal strength. Do not house the 548 radio transmitters inside metal conduit enclosures, as this will degrade or block the 433 MHz signal between the transmitter and the 539 receiver. Transmitters should be mounted in standard plastic or surface-mount housings as directed by the operator installation instructions.

Typical Applications

• ADA-accessible automatic door operator upgrades in healthcare, education, government, and retail facilities
• Retrofit of existing Norton low-energy operators where wired switch runs are impractical
• New construction where wireless push-plate activation is specified for accessibility compliance
• Replacement of failed or missing RF components on existing Norton operator installations
