RCI 950P45-MO 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size junction box do I need for the RCI 950 round push plate?
It depends which diameter you order. The 4-1/2 inch (114mm) round plate mounts to a standard 2 x 4 inch (51mm x 102mm) switch box. The 6 inch (152mm) plate needs a 4 x 4 x 1-1/2 inch (102mm x 102mm x 38mm) junction box. Rough in the right box before the plate shows up, because the two are not interchangeable.
2) Is the RCI 950 push plate a momentary switch, and can I get a double pole contact?
The switch is momentary SPDT, so the contact transfers only while the plate is pressed. If your operator or access control panel needs two sets of contacts, RCI offers a DPDT accessory kit for the 950 plate.
3) Can I convert an RCI 950 push plate to touchless later without replacing it?
Yes. The 950 round plate works with the RCI T2T Retrofit Contactless Module (RCM), which converts an installed push plate to touch-free operation. Useful in healthcare and other facilities that want to move away from contact actuators without re-pulling wire or changing boxes.
4) What is the closest alternative to the RCI 950 round push plate if I need a rectangular push plate instead?
The RCI 950 is a round push plate in 4-1/2 inch and 6 inch diameters with a brushed stainless steel 32D finish and momentary SPDT switch. If the opening calls for a rectangular plate, the Dortronics 5286 Series push plate exit release is marked "Push to Exit", and the Dortronics 5287 Series uses a 1-1/2 inch wide push plate on a 3 inch wide back plate, also marked "Push to Exit". Note the marking difference: the RCI 950 comes with Push to Open or the handicap symbol, so if you need exit-specific text the Dortronics plates carry it.
5) The RCI 950 push plate is mounted outdoors and keeps getting wet. What should I use instead?
The RCI 950 is a stainless steel tamper-resistant push plate built for commercial door automation, but for a wet or exposed location look at the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 Series heavy duty waterproof switch with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button, or the Dortronics 5277-PZL Series weather proof heavy duty piezo touch-sensitive push button with a dual-color illuminated ring. Both are considerably smaller actuators than a 4-1/2 or 6 inch plate, so confirm the smaller button still meets your accessibility requirement at that opening.
6) We want touchless activation instead of a push plate. What are the options versus the RCI 950?
The RCI 950 is a mechanical momentary SPDT push plate, and it is compatible with the RCI T2T Retrofit Contactless Module (RCM) if you want to convert an existing plate to touch-free. If you would rather start with a touchless device, the Locknetics WS-200 and WS-200-MB are flush mount wave switches, and the Cal-Royal 8633-SW is a microwave cell switch supplied with single and double gang black faceplates. The Locknetics TS-100 is a touch switch with dual LED status indicators and a programmable timer if you still want contact activation with feedback.
7) Is a Norton Rixson 503 or 504 vestibule switch an equivalent to the RCI 950?
They are close in electrical behavior but not in form. The Norton Rixson 503 is an SPDT momentary push switch rated 15 amps for vestibule use, and the 504 is a dual SPDT momentary vestibule switch with a stainless steel face plate. The RCI 950 is also momentary SPDT with a brushed stainless 32D finish, but it is a large round plate, 4-1/2 inch or 6 inch diameter, with Push to Open or handicap symbol marking. If you need a two-circuit output from a single device, the 504's dual SPDT covers that; the RCI 950 reaches DPDT through an accessory kit.
8) Does the RCI 950 push plate come with the handicap symbol or just Push to Open text?
Both markings are offered. The 950 round plate is built with either the Handicap Symbol or Push to Open marking, and each marking comes in the 4-1/2 inch and 6 inch diameter. That gives four combinations, so specify marking and size together when you order.
9) What finish is the RCI 950 round push plate and will it hold up in a high traffic entrance?
Brushed stainless steel, 32D. The plate is stainless construction with a tamper-resistant design intended for high-traffic commercial openings where vandalism and corrosion are concerns. That 32D satin stainless is the same look as most commercial door trim, so it matches existing hardware on an entry vestibule.
10) Should I use a round push plate or a wave/touchless switch for an automatic door?
A round push plate like the RCI 950 is the contact actuator: the user pushes it, the momentary SPDT contact signals the operator. If you want no-contact activation instead, the Locknetics WS-200 flush mount wave switch or the Dortronics 5277-PZL piezo touch-sensitive button with illuminated ring are the alternatives ZenSupply carries. The 950 is also the middle path, since it can be converted later with the RCI T2T contactless module.
11) Is the RCI 950 push plate the right part for a request-to-exit button, or do I need something else?
The 950 round plate is a momentary SPDT actuator, so it can serve as an exit release as well as an ADA door operator actuator. If you specifically want a plate marked for egress, the Dortronics 5286 Series push plate exit release carries Push to Exit text, and the 5287 Series uses a 1-1/2 inch push plate on a 3 inch back plate with the same marking. If you need request-to-exit sensing inside the lock instead of on the wall, the Command Access REXKIT-CL is a field installable switch kit for CL180 Series cylindrical locks, also SPDT.
12) Can I mount the RCI 950 push plate outdoors on an exterior bollard?
The 950 is specified as a commercial push plate for standard switch and junction boxes, with no weatherproof rating claimed. For a genuinely wet or exterior location, Dortronics WR5276-HD22 heavy duty waterproof switches with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button are the weatherproof option, as is the Dortronics 5277-PZL weatherproof piezo button.
13) Can I use a Schlage 7764 or 7766 in place of an RCI 950 push plate?
No. The Schlage Electronics 7764 and 7766 are magnetic door position switches, single pole double throw, the 7764 concealed flush mount and the 7766 surface mount. They report whether the door is open or closed; they are not user-operated actuators. The RCI 950 is a wall-mounted round push plate a person presses to trigger the operator. They are frequently specified on the same opening, but one does not replace the other.
14) I need a release the public cannot see or reach, not a wall push plate. What replaces the RCI 950 there?
For a concealed release, the Locknetics CSW-100 and CSW-200 are flush mount concealed desk releases with an SPDT switch, intended to be mounted out of sight under a counter or desk. The RCI 950 takes the opposite approach: a visible 4-1/2 inch or 6 inch round stainless plate marked Push to Open or with the handicap symbol, with tamper-resistant construction for high-traffic public areas. Choose the CSW for staff-only release and the 950 where occupants need to operate the door themselves.
15) What should I look at instead of the RCI 950 if the door needs key-controlled release rather than open push-button access?
The Detex CS-400 Series electronic keyswitches with LED indicators are built for access control systems and require a key to actuate, which suits doors where you do not want anyone walking up and releasing them. The RCI 950 is an unrestricted momentary push plate; its tamper-resistant construction protects the device from vandalism but does not restrict who can press it. Pick the CS-400 for authorized-only release and the RCI 950 for ADA and general door automation activation.
16) I need to standardize actuators across a campus, can I mix 4-1/2 inch and 6 inch RCI 950 plates?
Yes, and it is common. Both diameters are the same 950 round plate in brushed stainless 32D with the same momentary SPDT switch, so they wire the same way and look consistent. Pick the 6 inch (152mm) where you want a larger target or are working with an existing 4 x 4 box, and the 4-1/2 inch (114mm) where the wall has a standard 2 x 4 switch box.
