RCI S65U 32D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door types work with the RCI 65U electric strike?
The RCI 65U is a universal electric strike designed for wood and metal door frames. It accommodates most standard cylindrical and mortise locksets. The three included faceplates provide flexibility for different frame configurations.
2) What power options does the RCI 65U support?
This strike operates on 12-24 VAC or 12-24 VDC. It can be configured for either fail-safe or fail-secure operation depending on your security requirements and local codes.
3) How do I choose between fail-safe and fail-secure modes?
Fail-safe unlocks when power is lost, allowing egress during emergencies. Fail-secure remains locked without power. Choose based on your application - egress doors typically require fail-safe, while high-security areas may use fail-secure where permitted by code.
4) What are the key installation requirements?
Installation requires cutting a rectangular opening in the door frame. Use the manufacturer's template for precise measurements. Ensure adequate frame material thickness and verify proper alignment with your lockset's latch bolt.
5) Which faceplate should I use?
The three included faceplates accommodate different frame types and lockset configurations. Select the faceplate that matches your frame profile and provides proper latch bolt engagement. Consult the installation guide for specific applications.
6) What maintenance does this electric strike require?
Periodically check for debris in the strike cavity and clean as needed. Test operation monthly to ensure proper latch engagement. Verify mounting screws remain tight and connections are secure.
7) Can I adjust the strike after installation?
Limited adjustment is possible through faceplate selection and positioning. For significant alignment issues, you may need to modify the frame opening or adjust the door hardware. Proper initial installation minimizes adjustment needs.
8) What locksets are compatible with the RCI 65U?
Most standard cylindrical and mortise locksets work with this universal strike. Verify your lockset's latch bolt projection and backset measurements match the strike's specifications before installation.
9) Does this strike meet fire door requirements?
Check the manufacturer's fire rating documentation and local codes for fire door applications. Some installations may require specific listing certifications. Consult your local authority having jurisdiction.
10) What tools do I need for installation?
You'll need a drill, appropriate bits, chisel, screwdriver, and measuring tools. A jigsaw or router may be helpful for frame modifications. Wire strippers and electrical tools are required for power connections.
11) How do I wire the RCI 65U for my access control system?
Connect the strike to your access control panel's relay output. Follow the wiring diagram for your chosen operational mode. Use appropriate gauge wire for the voltage and distance to ensure reliable operation.
