Norton 700 Wave-to-Open Switch — Two Faceplates, Finish 32D
The Norton Model 700 Wave-to-Open Switch is a hands-free, touchless activation device designed for use with low-energy automatic door operators in commercial and institutional applications. This listing includes two (2) faceplates in a 32D (satin stainless steel) finish, single-gang and double-gang faceplates packaged together with the switch. The Norton 700 is compatible with the 6341K2 and 6342K2 operator kits and is the designated wave-to-open switch for those configurations. This is not the 5845 WTO package.
Wave-to-open switches allow users to activate an automatic door operator without physical contact — a critical feature for ADA-accessible entrances, healthcare facilities, cleanroom environments, and any high-traffic area where hygienic or hands-free access is required. The sensor detects a hand or arm motion in proximity and sends a signal to the connected low-energy operator to open the door.
Key Features & Benefits
- Touchless Activation: Hands-free wave-sensing technology reduces surface contact, supporting hygiene-sensitive and ADA-accessible entry solutions.
- Two-Faceplate Package: Includes two faceplates per order (single-gang and double-gang plates packaged together).
- 32D Satin Stainless Finish: Corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance finish that coordinates with commercial-grade door hardware in institutional and healthcare settings.
- Designed for Norton 6341K2 / 6342K2 Kits: Engineered to integrate directly with these low-energy operator packages, ensuring reliable signal compatibility and clean installation.
- Supports Low-Energy Operator Compliance: When paired with qualifying Norton low-energy operators (such as the 4500, 5200, 5700, 5800, 6200, and 6300 series), the operator carries a 2-year warranty.
Typical Applications
- ADA-accessible entrances in commercial office buildings and public facilities
- Healthcare and hospital corridors requiring hands-free door activation
- Education and institutional buildings with high-frequency pedestrian traffic
- Retail, hospitality, and cleanroom environments prioritizing touchless access
