RCI 9LP36-HW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the wireless and hardwired versions of the RCI 9LP36 push plate?
Two ways to order the 9LP36. One version comes with a 433MHz transmitter pre-installed in the top end cap so the plate can signal an operator without running wire to it. The other is hardwired only, with no transmitter, and gets wired back to the door operator or control per the wiring diagram. Same plate either way, so pick based on whether you can pull wire to the mounting location. Retrofits into finished walls and remote bollard locations are where the transmitter version earns its keep.
2) Does the RCI 9LP36 push plate meet ADA and California accessibility requirements?
The 9LP36 is UL325 listed for pedestrian door activation in both the US and Canada, and it exceeds California Building Code Section 1117B.6 requirements. The 6 in. wide by 36 in. tall plate is sized so a wheelchair user can strike it anywhere along its height without reaching for a small button.
3) Is the 9LP36 a complete automatic door system, or do I need an operator too?
It is the activation switch only. The 9LP36 signals a low energy door operator or access control input; the operator itself, the power supply, and any wiring back to the controller are separate. On the wireless version you also need the matching receiver at the operator side for the 433MHz transmitter to do anything.
4) What should I use instead of the RCI 9LP36 if I want touchless activation?
For no-contact activation, the Locknetics WS-200 and WS-200-MB flush mount wave switches and the Cal-Royal 8633-SW microwave cell switch are the alternatives to consider; the Locknetics TS-100 is a touch switch with dual LED status indicators and a programmable timer. The RCI 9LP36 is a mechanical push plate whose all-active face responds to pressure anywhere on the plate, so it requires physical contact.
5) For an exterior or wash-down entrance, is the RCI 9LP36 the right choice or is there a weather rated switch?
For exposed locations, look at the Dortronics 5277-PZL Series weather proof heavy duty piezo touch sensitive push button with a dual-color illuminated ring, or the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 Series heavy duty waterproof switch with a 5/8 inch round stainless entry button. The RCI 9LP36 is a brushed stainless steel 32D push plate that mounts to any flat surface and is UL325 listed for pedestrian door activation in the US and Canada.
6) Do I have to hit a specific spot on the 9LP36 for the door to open?
No. The plate is all-active, meaning pressure anywhere on the face triggers it. That is the practical reason for the tall 6 x 36 in. format: someone in a chair, on crutches, or pushing a cart can contact it with an elbow, hip, or forearm at whatever height suits them and the door still actuates.
7) What size and finish is the RCI 9LP36 push plate?
6 in. wide by 36 in. tall (152mm x 915mm), in brushed stainless steel, which is the 32D finish. That matches the satin stainless trim, pulls, and push plates already on most commercial storefront and healthcare openings, so it blends into a standardized building without a finish mismatch.
8) Can the 9LP36 push plate be surface mounted on a wall or bollard, or does it need a recessed box?
It mounts to any flat surface, so a wall, a jamb face, or a flat bollard face all work. Fasteners are concealed, which keeps the face clean and gives a vandal a lot less to pry at. Leave clearance behind it for wiring access and future service on the hardwired version.
9) Can I use the 9LP36 to monitor whether a door is open or closed?
No, that is a different device. The 9LP36 is a momentary activation plate for opening a door, not a position sensor. For door position monitoring use a magnetic door position switch such as the Schlage Electronics 7764 for concealed flush mount, or the 7766 for surface mount, both SPDT.
10) Will the 9LP36 hold up outdoors on an exterior entrance?
RCI lists the 9LP36 for commercial vestibules, storefronts, and industrial entry points, with a stainless face and concealed fasteners. For an opening that takes direct weather or washdown, a switch specifically built for it is the safer call, such as the Dortronics 5277-PZL weatherproof piezo push button or the WR5276-HD22 waterproof switch with a 5/8 in. round stainless entry button.
11) Can a Schlage 7764 or 7766 door position switch replace the RCI 9LP36?
No. The Schlage Electronics 7764 is a concealed flush mount magnetic door position switch and the 7766 is the surface mount version, both single pole double throw. They report whether a door is open or closed and are not operated by a person. The RCI 9LP36 is a push plate a user presses to activate an automatic door operator, so the two serve different points in the system and are often installed together rather than in place of one another.
12) What is the alternative to the RCI 9LP36 if access needs to be restricted to authorized staff?
The Detex CS-400 Series electronic keyswitches with LED indicators are designed for access control systems and require a key to operate. The RCI 9LP36 is an all-active push plate that anyone can operate by pressing the face, which is what makes it suitable for public accessibility openings in healthcare, retail and educational buildings rather than restricted ones.
13) Is the RCI 9LP36 suitable for a high-abuse entrance like a hospital or school?
That is exactly its application set. It is a commercial-rated device with a brushed stainless face and concealed fasteners for vandal-prone, high-traffic openings, and RCI lists healthcare entrances, educational accessibility, retail storefronts, commercial vestibules, and industrial entry points among its uses. It is not a residential-grade product.
14) If I am standardizing accessibility actuators across a building, can I mix wireless and hardwired 9LP36 plates?
Yes. Both versions are the same 6 x 36 in. brushed stainless plate with the same all-active face, so every opening looks and operates the same to the user. Order the transmitter version where pulling wire through finished construction is the problem, and the hardwired version where conduit is already in place, and the building reads as one consistent package.
