Installation & Operation

  1. Verify electrical requirements match available power supply. Confirm 12/24VDC auto-sensing capability and 230mA current capacity before proceeding.
  2. Disconnect power supply before beginning installation. Follow all applicable electrical codes and safety procedures.
  3. Mount the unit using the keyhole mounting bracket ensuring adequate clearance for wiring access, ventilation, and future service requirements.
  4. Route and connect wiring according to manufacturer wiring diagrams using the convenient plug-in wiring terminals. Use appropriate wire gauge and connectors for the application.
  5. Configure operational settings including time delay programming (0-35 seconds) and fail-safe operation per application requirements.
  6. Restore power and test all functions including normal locking operation, time delay functionality, and emergency release capabilities.
  7. Complete final inspection and document settings. Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete wiring diagrams, programming instructions, and troubleshooting.

RCI 8310 28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the RCI 8310 MultiMag maglock work on an inswinging door?
No. The 8310 MultiMag is built for single outswinging interior or perimeter doors, where the magnet mounts on the frame header inside and the armature sits on the door face as it pulls shut against the mag. For an inswing opening you need a shear lock or a bracket kit that repositions the magnet, not this surface unit. It is non-handed, so left or right hand outswing makes no difference to what you order.
2) Does the RCI 8310 maglock unlock if the building loses power?
Yes, and that is the point of it. The 8310 is electrically locked, fail safe: the magnet only holds while it is energized, so cutting power drops the door open. That is what makes it usable on an egress opening, and it is also why it must be tied into the fire alarm and the egress devices on the opening. If you need a door that stays locked when power drops, an electromagnetic lock is the wrong technology entirely.
3) Can I put an RCI 8310 electromagnetic lock on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 8310 MultiMag carries a CAN/ULC S104 UL 10C 1-1/2 hour fire rating, so it can go on a 90 minute fire door assembly. That rating is one of the reasons it gets specified in schools, hospitals and other institutional buildings where the stair and corridor doors are rated openings.
4) What power supply do I need for an RCI 8310 maglock, 12V or 24V?
Either one. The 8310 auto-senses 12 or 24VDC, so there is no jumper to set and no wrong choice at the panel. Budget 230mA per lock, which is the maximum draw at 12VDC (it pulls less at 24V). Size the supply on that number times the number of mags on the circuit, plus whatever the readers and REX devices take.
5) How much clearance do I need above the door for an RCI 8310 MultiMag?
The magnet body measures 10-1/2 x 2-7/8 x 1-5/8 inches, so you need a header with enough flat face to take a run of about 10-1/2 inches and roughly 2-7/8 inches of depth for the housing, with the 1-5/8 inch dimension as the projection off the mounting surface. On a glass front or a narrow aluminum header, measure the frame face before you commit, because the magnet needs the full footprint flat against it.
6) What is the difference between the DSS and SCS options on the RCI 8310?
DSS is the Door Status Sensor, which reports whether the door is physically closed against the magnet, so your panel can throw a door forced or door held open alarm. SCS is the Security Condition Sensor, which reports whether the magnet is actually achieving its bond, catching the case where the door reads closed but is not really secured. You can order the 8310 with DSS alone, SCS alone, both together, or as a standard unit with neither. If your access control panel has spare monitor inputs and the opening is alarmed, order the sensors up front, since they are internal to the magnet and not something you add later.
7) I have a pair of doors, is one RCI 8310 enough?
No. The 8310 is a single door unit, so a pair of outswinging doors needs one magnet per leaf, each with its own armature on the door face and both wired to release together. Total current on that opening is then 230mA per magnet at 12VDC, which matters when you are sizing the power supply for a bank of pairs.
8) Does the RCI 8310 maglock come with mounting hardware, and is it hard to install alone?
Self drilling TEC screws are the specified fasteners, and the 8310 uses a keyhole mounting bracket: you hang the magnet on the bracket, which carries the weight while you drive the screws, so a one man install on a ladder is workable. A four bolt drop stop mounting stabilizes the body once it is set. The wiring cavity cover is removable and the terminals are plug in, so you land conductors without fishing inside a fixed housing.
9) Can I delay the RCI 8310 relocking after someone badges through?
Yes. The 8310 has a built in time delay: release is instant, and the relock is programmable anywhere from 0 to 35 seconds. Set it long enough that a person pushing a cart or a wheelchair user clears the opening before the magnet re-energizes, and short enough that the door is not sitting unsecured. At 0 it relocks as soon as the input drops.
10) Will the RCI 8310 maglock lose grip over time or stick after it releases?
The 8310 is built to overcome residual magnetism, which is the effect that leaves a magnet lightly holding a door for a moment after power drops. It also has surge protection on board, so a spike on the DC line from a shared supply or a nearby striking device does not take the board out. Both matter on a stair or exit door where a slow release is a life safety problem, not an inconvenience.
11) What finishes does the RCI 8310 MultiMag come in?
Two: 628 anodized aluminum and 695 dark bronze. Both are available with any of the sensor configurations, so if you are matching dark bronze storefront you can still get the DSS or SCS version in 695. On a property with mixed openings, 628 is the one that disappears against clear anodized aluminum frames.
