USER’S GUIDE
PRESENCE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Norton #585 Presence Sensor is a self-monitored ready overhead-mounted diffused active infrared sensing device that
provides detection for the triggering of automatic swing door safety functions. This sensor is designed for use with all of Norton
Low Energy Operators.
Full adjustability is achieved with the use of a hand-held remote control (optional accessory - specify part number 585REM to
order). This allows alteration of all of the available functions as well as for inquiry of existing settings. Should the need arise; the
#585 may also be tuned by means of two sensor-mounted buttons contained on the PC Board within the unit. With these two
buttons, the #585 field of detection can be altered without the use of the hand-held remote.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Shut off all power going to the header before attempting any wiring procedures.
• Maintain a clean & safe environment when working in public areas.
• Constantly be aware of pedestrian traffic around the door area.
• Always stop pedestrian traffic through the doorway when performing testing that may result in unexpected reactions by the
door.
• Always check placement of all wiring and components before powering up to insure that moving door parts will not catch any
wires and cause damage to equipment.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION – PREPARATION
To prepare the #585 for mounting to the header, perform the following:
a) Remove both end caps from the #585 (Picture 1). Each is attached by one Phillips head screw.
b) Remove both lenses from #585 by simply sliding them out at each end (Picture 2).
c) Remove the center eye shield (Picture 3) (take care not to damage the light tube on the inner side of the shield). Simply pull
out from the top end and rotate out as shown below.
d) Slide the PCB out of the extrusion and set it aside (Picture 4).
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION – PLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR
Remember these guidelines when installing a #585:
• The #585 should be mounted at a height range of 6'6" to 8'. Maximum mounting height is 9'.
• The #585 should be mounted above the door on the swing side.
• The #585 shall be mounted flush with the bottom of the frame. This is
absolutely necessary to allow the detection pattern to reach back through
the threshold area when the #585 is in the open door position.
• For SINGLE DOOR APPLICATIONS, the #585 should be mounted at the center
of the door opening. However, if this is not possible, the unit may be installed
off-center. In such cases, pattern location will have to be altered for proper
placement of the field of detection. Try to avoid mounting locations that may
pose potential problems such as directly over a door arm.
• For DOUBLE-EGRESS APPLICATIONS, one #585 should be mounted over each
swing-path. There should be at least 40" of separation between the 2 #585’s
when measured between the centerline of each sensor.
• CAUTION: FOR ALL APPLICATIONS, REFER TO THE PATTERN CHARTS FOR
WIDTH AND DEPTH IN THE APPLICABLE SECTION OF THIS GUIDE. PATTERNS
SHALL BE ADJUSTED TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM DETECTION ZONES, AND SHALL
BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS (I.E. ANSI
A156.10).

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1. The extrusion has pre-drilled mounting holes at each end (Pictures 5 & 6).
2. Hold the #585 up to the pre-determined location, and attach using the 2 self-drilling screws that are included with the package
(Picture 7). It may be necessary to pre-drill a pilot hole (Picture 8) in the header for ease of screw installation. Ensure that #585
is mounted securely at each end.
3. If #585 is mounted directly to door header, and cabling is to pass directly into header, drill a ¼" hole next to the #585’s left side
end cap to allow wire passage into header (Picture 9). The wire passage hole should be in a location that aligns with the cut out
in the end cap (Picture 9).
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND CABLING
1. Once the #585 is securely attached to header simply plug and play.

Page 4
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND CABLING (CONTINUED)
2. Attach the terminal block to the #585 (Picture 11).
3. With the terminal block attached to the #585, feed the opposite end of the cable through the previously drilled wire passage
hole, and on into the header. Pull the cable all the way through and route it to the location of the automatic door control. Refer
to the respective User’s Guide for the product you are interfacing with. Ensure a dedicated power source of 12 or 24 VAC / DC
+/- 10%.
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS
1. Once all installation, wiring and cabling procedures have been completed, mechanical adjustments can be made. Please note
that further adjustments may be required after powering and walk testing the detection field.
2. Aside from placement on the header, the only mechanical adjustment that may be made to the sensor is the angle adjustment.
The #585 is factory pre-set to the +5º position, but may be reduced to a 0º position or increased to a 10º position. The greater
the angle, the farther from the door the pattern will be. The 0º angle should only be used when the #585 is mounted to a soffit
above the door that extends out from the face of the safety side of the door – in this case, the 0º setting would improve the
location of the detection field across the threshold area of the doorway. It is recommended that for most applications, the unit
be powered and walk tested at the pre-set 5º angle. After walk testing, if the detection field needs to be changed, then proceed
with changes to the angle setting as shown below.
3. To change the angle setting the end caps, lenses, and center eye shield must be removed (as shown on page 2). The terminal
block must also be removed if it has been wired. Once removed release the white clips, as shown below, and rotate outward to
remove the PCB (Pictures 12 & 13).
4. Once the PCB is completely removed from the housing, the angle position may be changed. There are two clips per #585 and
the angle must match for each clip on the same PCB. The positions are shown below.
5. Slide the left and right lens back into place (Picture 14) and proceed with power-up procedures. Leave the end caps off until all
final adjustments have been made.

POWER-UP PROCEDURES
1. Upon completion of mechanical and electrical installation, apply 12 to 24 V AC / DC +/- 10% to the #585, with the door in the
closed position. The #585 will flash a green LED at a rate of 2 Hz, then it will expire upon a successful set-up in the door-closed
position.
NOTE: If applying the #585 to a door control that requires a learn cycle upon powering, it is recommended to allow the doors
to complete a learn cycle before applying power to the #585.
2. Activate the door to the full open position. Upon completion of the set-up for the door-open position, the doors will begin
closing. Normal operation should resume thereafter. Proceed with fine-tuning to insure compliance with all applicable safety
standards (i.e. ANSI A156.10). If set-up is unsuccessful, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the end of this Users Guide.
HELPFUL HINT:
#1: Once the sensor is powered up, and completes a setup for the closed door position, activate the door to the open position
as indicated above. During this first opened cycle, if the sensor does not begin to flash green once the door is full open, a
data problem is highly likely. If the door opened and the sensor stayed red, in detection, it probably did not get the correct
data signal from the respective lockout module. As a preliminary check to the troubleshooting, be sure to check that the
voltage from the motor (at the red and black wire of the lockout) has at least 10 volts DC. A voltage that is too low may not be
recognized by the lockout.
#2: If the door goes to the open position and a setup is completed successfully, but then the door begins to close and immediately
recycles open, it is possible that the #585’s detection of the closing door is causing a recycle.
DUEL EGRESS: REDUCING CROSS TALK
Perform the following set up using #585’s remote control to reduce cross talk between duel egress applications. Refer to the figure
on page 2 to ensure the two #585’s are installed with at least 40" of separation when measured between the centerline of each
sensor.
1. Place doors in the hold open position. Unlock sensor and set open door Pattern Depth to 5 (Medium Pattern). This sequence
will turn off threshold IR while door is in open position. This function should be changed on both sensors:
2. The infrared frequency function may need to be changed. Change frequency on one of the sensors:
3. Change to a different mode in applications where high gloss floors or multiple doors are installed in vestibules.
Change sensor one to:
Change sensor two to:

UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
The #585 is fully compatible with the Remote Control (part # 585REM) as shown on page 7. Use of the remote control should
be conducted within 10' – 15' of the sensor, and the remote should be pointed directly at the sensor when used. Refer to the
'Programming Guide' in the following section for each parameter and its values.
Additional program notes:
1. The #585 is capable to have two patterns (door closed and door open) that are independently adjustable. Thus, when
programming, it is necessary to adjust the pattern for door closed, and then to adjust the pattern again when the door is open.
The following functions may be independently adjusted for each door position.
• Sensitivity
• Pattern Width
• Pattern Depth
2. The following functions apply to both door closed and door open positions:
• Automatic Learn Time
• Immunity
• Frequency
• Output Configuration
• Door Control Mode
• Hold Time
• Interface Type
3. The immunity modes include Medium (Rain) and High (Snow). During these modes, learn time of the sensor will not be
affected. These modes affect the interpretation of the objects in the field of detection relative to the background.
4. MP mode is set to a default of ‘0’ which allows #585 to operate normally with any control.

THRESHOLD: The Threshold is always OFF when the door is closed.
PATTERN WIDTH OR DEPTH: When pattern width or depth is changed, a setup of the new pattern size will automatically be
triggered once a value key has been pressed.

MANUAL (NON-REMOTE) SET-UP
Without the Remote Control, the #585 may be set up using the manual push buttons (see diagram below) located under the right
end cap. ONLY THE SENSITIVITY, RELAY MODE, AUTO-LEARN TIME, PATTERN WIDTH, AND PATTERN DEPTH MAY BE ADJUSTED WITH
THE MANUAL PUSH BUTTONS. To adjust the #585, complete the following:
1. To start the set-up process, press PB1 (for less than 2 seconds)
• The set-up function will be launched according to the current door position. The green LED will flash at 2+/- Hz for 10
seconds. This LED will stop flashing once a successful set-up is achieved.
• If there is an interruption to the field of detection during this procedure, the green LED will flash at a slower rate. Press PB1
to re-launch the set-up.
2. To change the detector’s parameters, press PB1 (for more than 2 seconds), then release.
3. Press either PB1 or PB2. The LED will immediately flash red, followed by a sequence of green flashes.
4. The red flashes indicate the parameter and the green flashes indicate the setting of the particular parameter.
NOTE: Pressing PB1 will toggle between the parameters and pressing PB2 will toggle between the range of adjustments for
that particular setting. Once you achieve the highest adjustment, the value will roll over to the lowest setting, upon the next
press of PB2. A zero value will result in no flash of the LED. To exit manual set-up, simply wait 20 seconds or press PB1 for more
than 2 seconds. Replace the right end cap back on the #585.
• Use the chart below as a reference for the manual set-up process.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Problem Probable Cause Corrective Action
#585 will not set upon
initial powering
1. Improper input voltage
2. #585 is in detection
3. Potential interferences from high
intensity lighting.
1. Check terminals 1 & 2 for proper voltage. 24 V AC/DC + 10%.
2. Make certain that the field of detection is all clear during
the set-up and that all lenses are installed on the #585. If
detection is encountered upon initial set-up, the #585 will
continuously flash Green at + 2 Hz. The #585 will also not
set-up if permanent stationary objects are extremely close
to the sensor. Ensure that, not only is the detection field all
clear, but that the sensor is mounted properly (using the #585
mounting block if NECESSARY).
3. Ensure that no high intensity lighting is in the immediate area
of the sensor.
Door will not open
once set-up has been
completed.
1. #585 is in detection.
2. Improper wiring.
3. Improper relay output configuration.
1. Ensure that there is no detection occurring at the #585. If
the Red LED is on steady, there is detection. Make sure there
have been no changes in the field of detection since set-up. If
permanent changes have occurred, launch a new set-up and
re-test door.
CAUTION: THERE POSSIBLY MAY BE NO SAFETY ON THE DOOR
WHEN THIS TEST IS PERFORMED.
2. Remove the output wires (common, normally open, normally
closed) from the #585. Activate the door control, if the door
opens, the fault exists with #585 or related wiring. If door
does not open, the faults may exist with the door control or
it's related wiring.
3. Ensure proper relay output setting. Refer to page 7. Typically,
relay setting should be ‘Normally Open’. This means the relay
would close upon detection.

Page 12
TROUBLE-SHOOTING – CONT.
#585 repeatedly relearns the environment
with each door position.
1. Data polarity at the #585 is incorrect. 1. Allow the door to open in the automatic
mode. Unlock the #585 and launch a
setup by pressing the Setup key, followed
by the number 2. If the sensor does not
begin flashing green, and instead goes
back to a red indication, improper data
exists.
2. Check for proper polarity at terminal 6
and 7. The negative wire from the lockout
(white) should be connected to terminal
6, and the red/white striped wire from
the lockout should connect at terminal 7.
• HELPFUL HINT: If faulty data is suspected,
simply power the door to the open
position (by activation OR with the use
of a hold open switch). While the door
is open, unlock the #585, and press
the setup key, followed by the number
2. If the sensor goes back to a red LED
(as opposed to flashing the green LED
to indicate a setup), there is a strong
probability that the data is incorrect.
#585 not reacting to the remote control. 1. Batteries in the remote control are dead.
2. Distance between sensor and remote is
too far.
1. Replace batteries in the remote control.
2. Move in closer to the sensor when
programming.
3. If remote control fails, manual
programming procedures may have to be
used (See Pg. 9).
