POWER TRACK INTRODUCTION / CONTENTS

Introduction

Norton "Power Track" Closer-Holders combine the functions of a single-point electromechanical door holder with the proven reliability of a 7700 Series or 8000 Series door closer. The track assembly contains an arm slide and solenoid operated hold-open mechanism and is available with or without an integral smoke detector. The Power Track unit, with its slide arm assembly, can be installed with a choice of the following door closer controls: 7705, 8205BC, 8300, 8405BC or 8505.

The closer is mounted on the door. The Power Track is mounted to the frame face for pull side installations or the frame soffit for push side installations.

The PowerTrack is an aluminum extrusion which incorporates a solenoid actuated cam that locks the arm slide in the track at a selected point. The degree of door hold-open is selected by adjustment of the telescoping arm. When there is power to the unit, the door will hold open at the selected hold-open point. Any power interruption will release the arm slide and the door will close. The door can be released manually at any time by pushing toward the closed direction.

Norton Power Track Closer-Holders are available in three basic functions controlling fire/smoke doors.

Master Unit - PTD Catalog No. Suffix: This unit is comprised of an integral smoke detector, a solenoid hold-open mechanism in the slide track and a door closer. The Master Unit can be used to control a single door or a pair of doors in conjunction with either a Slave Unit or a Support Unit.

Slave Unit - PTS Catalog No. Suffix: This Unit is for installation on one leaf of a pair of doors when the other leaf is controlled by a "PTD" Master Unit. This unit is composed of a solenoid hold-open mechanism in the slide track and a door closer. The Slave Unit will only operate on 24 VDC power from the Master Unit.

Support Unit - PT Catalog No. Suffix: This unit is comprised of a solenoid hold-open mechanism in the slide track and a door closer. These units can be installed on a single door or a pair of doors when controlled by compatible U.L. listed detection equipment such as area ceiling detectors, pull stations, and remote alarm panels. They can also be used in conjunction with a Master Unit on a pair of doors when the Master Unit smoke detector signals conditions (stand-by, trouble/alarm) to an alarm system's panel. The alarm panel controls the hold-open function of both the Support Unit and the Master Unit.

Note: Application of any Norton Power Track Single-Point Hold-Open Closer-Holder Releasing Device should be checked for compliance with both state and local codes.

Yale Series 7700PT-RF/8000PT-RF Power Track Closer/Holders with Remote RF Release

We've adapted the Radio Frequency technology of remote controlled door operators to release a Norton Electromechanical Closer/Holder. We placed the interrupting contacts of the radio-receiver-switch in the hold open circuit of the door control. When the receiver is activated by the remote hand-held transmitter the contacts interrupt the hold-open circuit and the door closes.

Installed on an executive office door, the door will be held-open during normal business transactions. When security or privacy is desired, the executive can close the door by simply operating the RF remote control in the same way he probably closed his garage door when leaving his home.

Installed on a number of rooms along a corridor, the Executive Door Control can be used to hold the doors open during normal business hours. At the end of the day, all the doors can be closed by the security guard using duplicate controllers. If individual office privacy is not a factor, all Executive Door Control receivers can be set to a common frequency, permitting one controller to release all doors within its range at the same time.

The Norton Executive Door Holder/Release is available with any of the functions and configurations of Yale 400PT/3000PT Series Power Track Closer/Holder. It incorporates the door closer and hold-open mechanism of the series selected. The units have the same appearance as the series Master Units. It does not however contain a smoke detector and is not intended for use in conjunction with fire/smoke barrier door assemblies.

Installation is relatively simple. The Closer/Holder unit requires only a three-wire grounded 120 VAC power supply. The remote control is operated by a 9-Volt battery and is completely portable. It requires no wiring. A real advantage initially and any time office furniture is rearranged.
