RCI 8310-IQ 28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the RCI 8310-IQ maglock work on an inswinging door?
No. The 8310-IQ IntelliMag is built for single outswinging interior or perimeter doors, where the magnet mounts on the frame header inside and the armature on the door face. For an inswing opening you need a shear lock or a maglock installed with a Z-bracket kit; the 8310-IQ on its own does not cover that case. It is also a single-door unit, so a pair of doors takes two magnets (or the double version).
2) What happens to the RCI 8310-IQ when the power goes out?
It unlocks. The 8310-IQ is fail safe, electrically locked, so it holds only while energized and releases the moment power drops. That is what makes a maglock legal on an egress door, and it also means the opening has no mechanical security during an outage. If you need the door to stay locked without power, a maglock is the wrong device type entirely.
3) Can I use the RCI 8310-IQ on a fire-rated door?
Yes. The 8310-IQ carries a CAN/ULC S104 UL 10C 1-hour fire rating, so it is code compliant on a 1-hour fire door assembly. Note that fire-rated openings are usually required to be positive latching, so the maglock typically supplements rather than replaces the latching hardware on the door.
4) How much header room does the RCI 8310-IQ magnet need?
The magnet body measures 10-1/2 x 2-7/8 x 1-5/8 inches, so you need a continuous flat mounting surface on the header at least that long and a clear 1-5/8 inches of projection below the stop. On aluminum storefront with a shallow header, measure the stop face before you commit. It mounts with keyhole slots and a 4-bolt drop stop for stability, with a wiring cavity you can reach without pulling the whole unit.
5) What does the encoded armature plate on the IntelliMag actually do?
Each 8310-IQ is registered to its own armature plate and will only recognize that specific plate. A common maglock bypass is fooling the sensor with a substitute piece of steel so the system reports the door secure; the IntelliMag encoding shuts that down. Practical consequence for a security integrator: the armature and the magnet are a matched set. Do not swap armatures between units on a multi-door job, and label them during install.
6) Does the RCI 8310-IQ report door status back to my access control panel?
Two independent dry relay outputs come built in, one for lock status and one for alarm status, so you can send secure/unsecure to the panel and a separate alarm condition to a local annunciator or head end at the same time. There is also an on-board LED at the magnet and an alarm time setting. Most competing magnets give you a single bond sensor output, so if your sequence of operation needs both states you do not have to add an external contact.
7) Do I need a separate timer module for delayed relock on the RCI 8310-IQ?
No. Time delay is built into the 8310-IQ: instant release on the request, with adjustable relock programmable from 0 to 90 seconds. That covers the usual case of holding the magnet off long enough for someone to clear the opening after a card read or push button, without adding a timer relay in the enclosure.
8) Do I have to order the RCI 8310-IQ handed for a left or right door?
No handing to specify. The 8310-IQ is non-handed, so one part number covers both left and right hand outswing openings. The only ordering choice is finish: 628 anodized aluminum or 695 dark bronze. Match 628 to clear anodized storefront and 695 to bronze frames.
9) What fasteners come with the RCI 8310-IQ maglock?
It ships with self-drilling TEC screws, which is what you want going into an aluminum or hollow metal header. Nothing to source separately for a standard header mount. If you are attaching to a wood or glass-front condition where TEC screws will not hold, plan on the appropriate anchors and a filler or mounting plate for that substrate.
10) Does the RCI 8310-IQ have surge protection built in?
Yes. Surge protection is on board, which matters because a magnet is an inductive load and the collapsing field at release will spike back into the wiring. On perimeter doors and long cable runs where transients are more likely, that protection is already handled at the magnet rather than depending on a suppression diode added in the field.
