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

1) Will the RCI 908 exit button fit a standard single gang electrical box?
Yes. The 908-RE-TD is built for single gang mounting, and the faceplate measures 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 inches, which is the standard single gang plate footprint. If you already have a 1-gang box in the wall by the door, the button drops onto it with no new cutting.
2) Can I mount the RCI 908 exit button outdoors or in a wet location?
No. The 908-RE-TD is a standard interior single gang device with no weather rating stated, so keep it inside. For an exterior door, gate, or a wash-down area, use a weatherproof pushbutton such as the DynaLock 6171.
3) I need an emergency release for a maglock, not a normal exit button. Is the RCI 908 the right part?
Not the right part for that duty. The 908-RE-TD is a time-delay exit release, not a break-glass or emergency release device. For a marked emergency release, look at the Securitron EEB emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, or the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER, which is marked Emergency Release.
4) Will the RCI 908 button fit on a narrow mullion or the frame beside a glass storefront door?
No. It needs a single gang box and covers 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 inches, which is wider than most narrow aluminum stiles and mullions will take. For a glass front opening where the switch has to live on the frame, a narrow style electric door switch like the Trine 342 is the shape that fits.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the RCI 908-RE-TD single gang exit push button?
The RCI 908 Series time-delay exit button is a single gang mount push button in satin stainless steel measuring 2-3/4 inches by 4-1/2 inches. The closest peer by form factor is the DynaLock 6115A, a one-pushbutton, 1 gang alternate action switch in the 6000 Push Button series. Both are single gang plate-mounted switches, so a 6115A drops into the same single gang box prep. The difference is the switching behavior: the 6115A is described as alternate action, meaning the button latches on each press, while the RCI 908-RE-TD is built for time-delay exit applications where the output is held for a set interval after the press. If the access control panel expects a timed pulse rather than a latching contact, that distinction decides which one to specify.
6) Which exit push button should I use instead of the RCI 908-RE-TD on an exterior or wash-down door?
The RCI 908 Series time-delay exit button is specified for commercial interior single gang mounting in satin stainless steel and carries no weather rating. For an opening exposed to rain, spray, or wash-down, the DynaLock 6171 is the peer to look at: it is a weatherproof pushbutton with a blank faceplate in the 6170 series. The trade is the marking. The RCI 908-RE-TD carries red EXIT text on the button for immediate recognition at the egress point, while the 6171 faceplate is blank, so exterior gates and loading doors that need a labeled egress button will need the label applied another way.
7) The drawing calls for an Emergency Release button. Does the RCI 908-RE-TD meet that, or do I need the ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER?
Read the marking the specification asks for. The ACSI 1320-1-MOM-ER is a pushbutton switch marked Emergency Release, so it carries that exact legend on the face. The RCI 908-RE-TD is marked with red EXIT text and is intended for time-delay exit applications. If the submittal or the authority having jurisdiction requires the words Emergency Release on the device, the 1320-1-MOM-ER is the one that satisfies it; if the requirement is a marked, timed egress button at the door, the 908-RE-TD in satin stainless steel on a single gang box is the fit.
8) Is the RCI 908 exit button rated for commercial use, and will the finish hold up in a busy building?
It is a commercial-rated device, finished in satin stainless steel. That finish is the usual pick for lobbies, hospitals, and schools where the plate gets touched hundreds of times a day and needs to keep looking like the rest of the stainless hardware on the opening.
9) Does the RCI 908-RE-TD button say EXIT on it, and what color is it?
The button itself is red with EXIT printed on it, mounted on a satin stainless plate. That marking matters where the button is the marked means of egress release and staff or the public have to identify it without instruction. If you want a blank plate instead, so the button is not advertised as an exit release, the DynaLock 6171 is a blank-faceplate pushbutton.
10) How does the RCI 908 compare to a Securitron push button for a card-access door?
Both are wall-mounted release switches, but they solve different problems. The RCI 908-RE-TD is a time-delay unit on a 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 inch single gang plate with a red EXIT marking. Securitron's PB3 Series is a plain push button, the PB4L adds an illuminated halo around a stainless button, and the PB5 is a medium round illuminated button. Pick the RCI where the delay timing is the point; pick an illuminated Securitron where the button needs to be found in a dim corridor.
11) Do I need a key switch instead of a push button to release this door?
Depends on who you want operating it. The RCI 908-RE-TD is an open push button, so anyone at the door can press it, which is what you want on the secure side of an egress door. If release must be restricted to staff with a key, use a mortise keyswitch such as the ACSI 1310-1 instead.
12) What else do I need to order to make the RCI 908 exit button work?
The button is an electronic switch, not a standalone lock, so it has to be wired into a power supply and the locking device or access control panel it releases. Plan on a 1-gang box at the door, the wiring run back to the panel or power supply, and the maglock, strike, or controller that actually holds the door. Time-delay timing is set at install to match the application.
13) I only need a plain momentary request-to-exit button, not a time-delay one. What is the simpler alternative to the RCI 908-RE-TD?
The RCI 908-RE-TD is built specifically for time-delay exit applications, which is more switch than a straightforward request-to-exit needs. For a plain button, the Securitron PB3 Series push buttons cover the basic push-to-exit role, and the Trine 342 is a narrow style electric door switch for openings where a full single gang plate will not fit against the frame. Keep the 908-RE-TD where the egress sequence has to hold for a timed interval; the PB3 or the 342 suit a door where the press simply releases the lock.
14) Is the Securitron EEB the same thing as the RCI 908-RE-TD time-delay exit button?
They serve related openings but they are not interchangeable. The Securitron EEB is an emergency exit push button with interchangeable LED lenses, so the button face itself is illuminated and the lens color can be changed on site. The RCI 908-RE-TD is a time-delay exit button with fixed red EXIT text on the face, in satin stainless steel, sized 2-3/4 inches by 4-1/2 inches for single gang mounting. Specify the EEB when the design calls for an illuminated emergency release face; specify the 908-RE-TD when the panel needs a timed exit input behind a marked EXIT button.
15) What should I use in place of the RCI 908-RE-TD where staff need a hands-free or large-target exit switch?
The RCI 908 Series exit button is a standard single gang push button with a 2-3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inch face, which suits a normal wall location at hand height. Where a cart, a gurney, or a gloved hand has to operate the switch, the DynaLock 6210 Series palm switch is the peer to consider; it is an alternate-action SPDT palm switch, so the target is sized for a palm strike and the contact latches rather than pulsing. Healthcare corridors and back-of-house doors are the usual reason to move off the standard button.
16) Can I substitute a keyswitch or an audible annunciator for the RCI 908-RE-TD exit button?
No, and both are commonly mistaken for substitutes because they appear alongside exit buttons on the same access control drawing. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch in the 1300 Series, so it is key-operated and mounts in a mortise prep rather than a single gang box, and it authorizes entry or release by key rather than by a free press for egress. The DynaLock 6300 Series is an audible annunciator rated 6-28 VDC, which signals a condition; it does not switch the door. The RCI 908-RE-TD is the push button itself, single gang mounted with red EXIT marking for time-delay exit applications, and it is what the egress leg of the circuit actually needs.
17) Which exit button gives better visibility in a dark corridor than the RCI 908-RE-TD?
The RCI 908-RE-TD relies on a red button face with EXIT text against a satin stainless steel plate, which reads well under normal corridor lighting. Where the button has to be found in low light, two illuminated peers apply: the Securitron PB4L Series pairs a stainless push button with an illuminated halo around it, and the Securitron PB5 Series is a medium round illuminated push button. Both put light at the device itself rather than depending on ambient lighting, so they suit theaters, parking structures, and after-hours corridors.
18) I am standardizing exit buttons across a facility. Which of these mount into the same single gang prep as the RCI 908-RE-TD?
The RCI 908 Series exit button is a single gang mount device with a 2-3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inch face, the standard single gang plate footprint. Among the peers, the DynaLock 6115A is a one pushbutton, 1 gang unit, so it shares that box prep directly. The ACSI 1310-1 is a mortise keyswitch and needs a mortise prep instead, and the Securitron PB5 is a medium round button rather than a rectangular gang plate, so neither reuses the same rough-in. For a facility standardizing on existing single gang boxes, the 908 Series and the 6115A are the two that stay within that prep.
19) Can I standardize on RCI 908 buttons across a whole facility with different door types?
For interior openings with a 1-gang box, yes, the 908-RE-TD gives you one look and one part number across the building in satin stainless. Where a door is exterior or the switch has to sit on a narrow frame, the single gang footprint of 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 inches will not carry over, and those openings need a weatherproof or narrow-style switch instead.
