ACSI 1310-9 Mortise Keyswitches Adjustable time delay, single gang, 1 LED (red or green), SPDT contacts, wall mount

The 1310-9 is a key-operated switch used to control electric locks, electric strikes, electric exit devices and similar control circuits. Instead of a push button anyone can press, release is limited to whoever holds the key, which is why it gets used on openings where free egress or free release is not wanted.

Yes. The 1310 Series uses a mortise cylinder so the electrically controlled openings can be keyed into a facility master key system, the same way the mechanical doors are. That is the main reason a property manager or locksmith picks a keyswitch over a push button: one key ring covers both the mechanical and the electrified openings.

The 1310-9 is the SPDT version. Across the rest of the 1300 Series, contacts are DPDT unless a model specifically notes otherwise, so if you need a second isolated set of contacts (for example one to drop the lock and one to signal a panel), the 1310-9 is not the model to order.

It is a single gang, wall mount unit, so it goes into a standard single gang box or ring in the wall next to the opening rather than in the door or frame.

The ACSI 1310-9 is a mortise keyswitch, so release requires a key that can be cut to the facility master key system. Where any occupant is allowed to release the door, a pushbutton station does the same switching without a cylinder: the Securitron PB3 Series push button, the DynaLock 6115A one pushbutton single gang alternate action device, or the RCI 908 Series electronic exit button with red EXIT text and maintained operation. The tradeoff is access control - a keyswitch restricts who can operate the opening, a pushbutton does not.

Both are key-operated style switches used to control electrically locked openings, but the mounting differs. The ACSI 1310-9 is a single gang wall mount device with adjustable time delay, one LED in red or green, and SPDT contacts. The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch, sized for narrow stile frames and mullions rather than a standard single gang box. Choose by the mounting surface available at the opening.

The 1310-9 is a single gang wall mount keyswitch intended for interior commercial mounting. For an exterior or wash-down location, the DynaLock 6171 Series weatherproof pushbutton with blank faceplate is built for the exposure. Note that it is a pushbutton with a blank faceplate rather than a keyed device, so it does not provide the key control the 1310-9 gives.

No. The 1310-9 requires a key to operate, which is the opposite of what an emergency egress point needs. For that application the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses or the RCI 919 Series rotary release button with maintained operation in satin aluminum are the devices intended for free egress release. Use the 1310-9 where the release must be restricted to keyholders.

The 1310-9 is the adjustable time delay model. Turn the key and the output holds for the set period, then restores on its own, so you don't need someone standing at the switch to re-lock. Set the delay to match how long the opening needs to stay released.

It carries one LED, available red or green, on the faceplate. That gives the user a look-and-see of the switch state at the opening, which matters when the delay is running and someone needs to know the lock is released before they pull the door.

The 1310 Series is a mortise keyswitch, meaning it accepts a standard mortise cylinder so you can supply one in your own keyway and keying. Plan on specifying the cylinder separately to match your master key system.

The 1310-9 needs a single gang wall box, so it won't work on a narrow jamb or mullion. For a narrow mounting surface, look at the Trine 342 narrow style electric door switch instead. Note that the Trine is a switch, not a keyswitch, so you lose the master key restriction.

Not as a like-for-like. The RCI 950 Series is a round push plate with a handicap symbol, a momentary switch in satin stainless steel, used as an actuator for automatic operators and barrier-free entrances. The ACSI 1310-9 is a keyed mortise switch with adjustable time delay and SPDT contacts, and it is not ADA compliant. They serve different roles - the push plate is for accessible actuation, the keyswitch is for restricted release.

The 1310-9 carries one LED, available red or green, in a single gang wall mount keyswitch. If the indication matters more than key control, the Securitron PB4L Series offers an illuminated halo with a stainless push button and the Securitron PB5 Series is a medium round illuminated push button. Both are pushbutton actuators rather than keyed switches.

The 1310-9 uses SPDT contacts with an adjustable time delay. Among comparable actuators, the DynaLock 6210 Series palm switch is also an alternate-action SPDT device, though it is a large palm-operated plate rather than a keyed single gang switch. The RCI 909 Series flush mount momentary rocker switch is rated 250VAC 10A in a beige finish if a higher voltage rocker is what the circuit calls for.

Yes, the 1300 Series is a commercial-duty access control device, used on electric locks, strikes and exit devices in facilities that run a master key system. It is not a residential product.

The 1310-9 provides visual indication through one LED, red or green, not sound. If the opening needs an audible cue, pair it with a separate annunciator such as the DynaLock 6300 Series audible annunciator, which operates on 6 to 28 VDC. That is an add-on device, not a substitute for the keyswitch.
