RCI 8320 28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the RCI 8320 maglock work on a pair of outswing doors?
That's exactly what the 8320 MultiMag is built for. It's a dual-magnet unit for double outswinging doors, interior or perimeter, with two electromagnets in one 21-1/8 x 2-7/8 x 1-5/8 inch housing so both leaves are held from a single header-mounted assembly. It's non-handed, so the same unit works regardless of which leaf swings which way. If your doors swing in toward you rather than out, this is the wrong body style and you need an inswing (shear or Z-bracket) arrangement instead.
2) What happens to the RCI 8320 maglock if the power goes out?
The doors release. The 8320 is fail safe, meaning it is electrically locked and current is what holds the magnets. Cut power, whether by a fire alarm relay, a request-to-exit device, or a genuine outage, and the doors are free. That's the behavior egress code expects on a locked perimeter opening, and it's why a maglock always needs to be tied into the building's alarm and egress hardware rather than wired to a switch on its own.
3) Is the RCI 8320 fire rated for a labeled opening?
Yes. The 8320 carries a CAN/ULC S104 UL 10C 1-1/2 hour fire rating, so it can go on a 90-minute labeled double opening without breaking the label.
4) What is the difference between the DSS and SCS options on the RCI 8320?
DSS is the Door Status Sensor, which reports whether the door is physically closed. SCS is the Security Condition Sensor, which reports whether the magnet is actually bonded and holding. They answer different questions: DSS tells your panel the door shut, SCS tells it the door is genuinely secure. Order either alone, or both together if your access control head end monitors position and lock status separately. If you're just running the mag off a reader with no monitoring, the standard version without options is what you want.
5) Do I need two maglocks for a double door, or does the RCI 8320 cover both leaves?
One 8320 covers both. It's a single 21-1/8 inch assembly carrying two electromagnets, so you mount one unit on the header spanning the pair instead of buying, wiring, and aligning two single mags. One power run, one release circuit, one set of monitoring contacts if you take the DSS or SCS option.
6) Can I set a delay before the RCI 8320 relocks after someone badges in?
Relock delay is programmable from 0 to 35 seconds, with an instant release available when you need the mag to drop the moment the request comes in. The delay is useful on a pair where people need time to get through both leaves, or where a slow closer would otherwise let the magnet re-energize against a door that hasn't fully seated.
7) Is the RCI 8320 a one-person install, and what fasteners come with it?
It's designed to be. A keyhole mounting bracket carries the magnet weight while you set it, so you aren't holding a 21-inch dual-magnet body overhead and driving screws at the same time, and four bolts plus a drop stop stabilize the finished mount. Self-drilling TEC screws are the specified fastener. The wiring cavity has a removable cover and plug-in terminals, so you land conductors without pulling the unit back down.
8) Is the RCI 8320 a delayed egress maglock?
No. The 8320's timer is a relock delay of 0 to 35 seconds, which controls how long the magnet waits before re-energizing after a release. That is not delayed egress, which holds a person at the door for a timed period after they push. If your spec calls for delayed egress on the opening, you need a device built for that function, not this one.
9) Will the RCI 8320 maglock body fit my header?
The unit measures 21-1/8 x 2-7/8 x 1-5/8 inches. Before ordering, check that your header has a flat run of at least 21-1/8 inches of continuous mounting surface across the meeting point of the pair, and enough depth for the 1-5/8 inch dimension plus the armature on the door face. On aluminum storefront with a shallow head, that depth is what usually forces a bracket or a filler rather than the length.
10) What finishes does the RCI 8320 MultiMag come in?
Two: 628 anodized aluminum and 695 dark bronze. Both are offered across every sensor configuration, standard, DSS, SCS, and DSS/SCS combined, so picking a monitoring option doesn't limit your finish. Match 628 to clear-anodized aluminum storefront and 695 to dark bronze frames.
11) Does the RCI 8320 need surge protection added to the access control circuit?
No, it's built in. The 8320 includes surge protection along with the time delay circuitry inside the unit, so you don't need to add a suppressor at the mag for the coil's inductive kickback. Standard practice on the rest of the circuit still applies.
