RCI RCI-908-RE-MA 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the RCI 908 exit button stay latched when pressed, or does it only work while held?
The 908-RE-MA is the maintained version, so the contact stays in the actuated state after it is pressed rather than releasing the moment you let go. That is what you want where a door needs to stay unlocked until someone resets the button. If you need the door to release only for a moment and then relock on its own, a maintained button is the wrong choice and you want a momentary pushbutton instead, such as the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER.
2) What size box does the RCI 908 exit button mount into?
It is a single gang mount device with a 2-3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate, so it drops onto a standard single gang electrical box. If you are replacing an existing switch or button that was already in a single gang box, the opening is already there; just leave enough depth behind the plate for the wiring.
3) Can I mount the RCI 908 exit button on a narrow aluminum door stile?
No. The plate is 2-3/4 by 4-1/2 inches on a single gang box, which is a wall or mullion mount, not a narrow stile mount. For a narrow style door switch, look at the Trine 342 instead.
4) I need a momentary release button, not a maintained one - what should I order instead of the RCI 908-RE-MA?
The RCI 908-RE-MA is specified for maintained exit applications, so the contact holds its state rather than snapping back on release. If the access control panel expects a momentary pulse to drop a strike or mag lock, use a momentary device instead: the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release with momentary action. Confirm the panel input before choosing, because wiring a maintained button where a momentary pulse is expected will hold the opening unlocked.
5) What should I use instead of the RCI 908-RE-MA on an exterior door?
The RCI 908-RE-MA is a commercial single gang mount button in satin stainless steel with no weatherproof rating stated, so for an outdoor or wash-down location choose a device built for it. The DynaLock 6171 is a weatherproof pushbutton with a blank faceplate in the 6170 series. Note that the 6171 face is blank, so if the exterior opening needs the EXIT marking you would have to label it separately.
6) I need key-controlled release rather than a pushbutton anyone can press - what do I use instead of the RCI 908-RE-MA?
The RCI 908-RE-MA is an open pushbutton, so anyone at the opening can operate it. When the release must be restricted to authorized staff, use a keyswitch instead: the ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch in the 1300 series, which takes a mortise cylinder so only a keyholder can transfer the contact.
7) The frame will not take a single gang box - what release switch works instead of the RCI 908-RE-MA?
The RCI 908-RE-MA needs a standard single gang electrical box for its 2-3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate, which will not fit a narrow mullion or tight frame face. The Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch made for those slim mounting surfaces. Verify the panel's contact requirement when you switch, since the RCI is specified for maintained operation.
8) Does the RCI 908 exit button need batteries or its own power supply?
No batteries. It is an electronic switch that is wired into the access control circuit, so it takes its power and signal from the system it is connected to. Confirm the current capacity of your supply against the load you are switching before wiring it in.
9) What are the alternatives to the RCI 908 exit button if I need something different?
Within push button egress devices, ZenSupply also carries the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, the Securitron PB3 and the illuminated Securitron PB4L and PB5 round buttons, and the DynaLock 6115A single gang alternate action button. For an outdoor or wash-down opening, the DynaLock 6171 is a weatherproof pushbutton. If you want key control rather than a push button, the ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch.
10) Which model number do I order for the RCI 908 stainless maintained exit button?
Order model 908-RE-MA 32D. The RE denotes the red EXIT marking, MA is the maintained action, and 32D is the satin stainless finish.
11) For an emergency egress release, how does the RCI 908-RE-MA compare to the Securitron EEB?
Both are aimed at emergency egress release. The RCI 908-RE-MA is a single gang mount button with red EXIT text on a 2-3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inch satin stainless steel plate, wired for maintained operation. The Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, so the annunciation is a lit lens rather than screened text. Choose on whether the opening calls for an illuminated indicator or a stainless plate with fixed EXIT marking.
12) Is a Securitron PB3 or PB5 a direct substitute for the RCI 908-RE-MA?
They are not a like-for-like swap. The RCI 908-RE-MA is a rectangular 2-3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inch single gang plate with red EXIT text. The Securitron PB3 is a push button series and the PB5 is a medium round illuminated push button - the PB5 in particular is a round illuminated device, a different faceplate look and a different cutout from a marked single gang plate. If you are matching existing single gang EXIT plates across a building, the round buttons will not visually match.
13) What is the alternative to the RCI 908-RE-MA for a barrier-free or hands-free release in a hospital corridor?
The RCI 908-RE-MA is a standard single gang pushbutton sized 2-3/4 inches by 4-1/2 inches, which requires a deliberate finger press. Where staff are pushing carts or need a large target, the DynaLock 6210 series palm switch with alternate-action SPDT contacts gives a large palm-operated face and the same latching alternate action the maintained RCI button provides.
14) Will a DynaLock 6300 annunciator replace the RCI 908-RE-MA exit button?
No. The RCI 908-RE-MA is the release device itself - a single gang pushbutton with red EXIT text wired for maintained exit operation. The DynaLock 6300 series is an audible annunciator running on 6-28 VDC, which sounds an alert; it does not provide the exit release contact. The two are commonly used together on a delayed or alarmed egress opening rather than in place of each other.
15) Is there an illuminated version to use instead of the RCI 908-RE-MA in a dim stairwell?
The RCI 908-RE-MA relies on red EXIT text on a satin stainless steel plate for identification, with no illumination stated. For a low-light corridor or stairwell landing, the Securitron PB4L is an illuminated halo push button with a stainless button, so the ring around the button stays visible in the dark while keeping a stainless appearance close to the RCI plate.
16) Will the RCI 908 exit button match the other stainless hardware in my building?
The faceplate is satin stainless steel, which is the common commercial match for 32D stainless trim, push plates and lever hardware. Across a portfolio of doors it keeps the egress buttons looking the same from opening to opening. The face is marked EXIT in red for immediate recognition at the door.
17) Is the RCI 908 exit button suitable for a healthcare or school facility, or is it a residential device?
It is built for commercial use, and typical placements are hospital and clinic access control, school and campus egress, retail, industrial and government buildings. The maintained action suits doors that need to be held unlocked for a period, for example a corridor door released during an event or a drill.
