RCI DOR913 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the RCI 913 microwave motion switch used for?
The RCI 913 is a microwave motion detector designed for automatic door activation. It detects approaching pedestrians and sends activation signals to door operators. Common applications include retail entrances, office buildings, and ADA-compliant automatic doors.
2) Is the RCI 913 compatible with all door operators?
The RCI 913 works with most standard automatic door operators that accept low-voltage activation signals. It provides relay contact outputs compatible with major door operator brands. Always verify signal requirements with your door operator specifications before installation.
3) What power requirements does the RCI 913 have?
The RCI 913 typically operates on low-voltage DC power, commonly 12-24VDC. Check the unit specifications for exact voltage and current requirements. Most installations use power from the door operator or a separate low-voltage transformer.
4) How do I mount the RCI 913 motion switch?
Mount the RCI 913 on the door frame header or adjacent wall using the provided mounting bracket. Position it 8-10 feet above floor level for optimal coverage. Ensure the detection zone covers the approach path without creating false activations from adjacent traffic.
5) What detection range does the RCI 913 provide?
The RCI 913 offers adjustable detection patterns typically ranging from 6-15 feet. The detection zone can be configured for different coverage areas depending on door width and traffic patterns. Sensitivity adjustments help optimize performance for specific installations.
6) Does the RCI 913 meet accessibility code requirements?
When properly installed, the RCI 913 can help meet ADA and local accessibility requirements for automatic door activation. Verify that detection patterns, timing delays, and installation height comply with current accessibility codes in your jurisdiction.
7) What wiring connections are required for the RCI 913?
Basic wiring includes power input connections and relay output contacts to the door operator. Most installations require low-voltage control cable between the motion switch and door operator control panel. Follow manufacturer wiring diagrams for proper connections.
8) How do I adjust the RCI 913 sensitivity settings?
The RCI 913 includes adjustment controls for sensitivity and detection zone. Start with manufacturer default settings and fine-tune based on traffic patterns. Increase sensitivity for detecting slow-moving pedestrians, decrease to prevent false activations from nearby movement.
9) What maintenance does the RCI 913 require?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the sensor face to remove dust or debris that could affect detection. Check mounting hardware periodically for secure attachment. Test activation patterns monthly to ensure proper coverage and response timing.
10) Are there alternative RCI motion switch models available?
RCI offers various motion detection solutions with different features and coverage patterns. Browse our RCI products section for alternative models that may better suit specific installation requirements or detection zone needs.
11) Can the RCI 913 work in outdoor installations?
Check the RCI 913 specifications for environmental ratings before outdoor use. Some models are suitable for covered outdoor applications while others require indoor installation only. Consider weather protection and temperature ranges for reliable operation.
12) What should I do if the RCI 913 has detection issues?
Check power connections and verify proper voltage supply first. Clean the sensor lens and ensure mounting is secure. Adjust sensitivity settings if detection is inconsistent. Verify that no obstructions block the detection zone and check for electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment.
