Alarm Controls RP Series - LED Illuminated Remote Plates - RP30 Single Gang, Stainless Steel Wall Plate

Yes. The RP-30 is a single gang plate, so it mounts to a standard single gang box or mud ring at the door, the same opening a light switch uses.

The ACSI 1340-1 from the 1340 Series is the closest alternative we carry: a single gang, wall mount indicator with one LED available in red or green. Go that way if you want a green indicator, since the RP-30 and RP-30L are both red. Stay with the RP-30 if you need the 1/2 inch hole in the same plate for a keyswitch or button, which the indicator only plate does not give you.

The ACSI 1340-1 is the closest single gang equivalent. It is a wall mount indicator plate carrying one LED, offered in red or green, from the ACSI 1340 Series. The Alarm Controls RP-30 is also a single gang stainless steel remote plate with one red LED, so the two cover the same job at an opening: a flush single gang box with one status light. The practical difference is color choice - the RP-30 carries a red LED, while the 1340-1 can be specified red or green if your door status convention uses green for unlocked or secure.

Specify the ACSI 1340-1 instead. It is a single gang wall mount indicator with one LED available in red or green, so a green annunciation is available within the same single gang footprint. The Alarm Controls RP-30 plate is built around a red LED, in a 1/4 inch LED on the RP-30 and a 1/2 inch LED on the RP-30L. For a facility standardizing on green for door secure or access granted, the 1340-1 is the part that matches the convention without changing the box or the wall opening.

It takes a separate device you supply, most commonly a keyswitch, pushbutton, or similar 1/2 inch mount actuator, while the LED beside it reports door or lock status. If you want an indicator only with nothing to mount, order an RP plate without the hole rather than the RP-30.

The plate is satin stainless steel and is a commercial rated part, which is why it gets specified for entry doors, stairwells, and back of house openings where a plastic switch plate would scuff and yellow. Satin also hides fingerprints better than a polished face on a high traffic door.

Yes, and that is the usual reason facilities pick the RP line. All of it is single gang satin stainless, so the openings match visually, while the family covers slimline bodies, plates with or without the hole, and a choice of LED size and color. You can run RP-30 at ordinary doors and RP-30L where the indicator needs to be seen from a distance without the hardware looking mismatched.

They are two manufacturers' takes on the same wall device. The ACSI 1340 Series is represented by the 1340-1, a single gang wall mount indicator with one LED in red or green. The Alarm Controls RP Series covers illuminated remote plates in single gang and slimline formats, with or without a hole, and with a choice of LED size and color - the RP-30 uses a 1/4 inch red LED and the RP-30L a 1/2 inch red LED, both in satin stainless steel with a 1/2 inch hole. A distributor cross referencing the two should match on gang size, LED size and color, and whether a device hole is required.

No. The ACSI 1340-1 is described as a single gang wall mount indicator with one LED - it is an indicator plate only. The Alarm Controls RP-30 and RP-30L both carry a 1/2 inch hole alongside the red LED, so the same plate can accept a mounted device in addition to showing status. If the opening needs both a status light and a device in one single gang plate, the RP-30 covers it; if the wall only needs to annunciate, the 1340-1 does that job. This is the common reason the two are not a straight swap in both directions.
