RCI 940HP-MO – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which text or symbol options does the RCI 940 push plate come in?
Four faces are offered: Blank, Handicap Symbol, Handicap Symbol with Push to Open, and Push to Exit. Pick by role. Handicap Symbol or Handicap Symbol + Push to Open is what you want on an automatic operator at an accessible entrance. Push to Exit is the egress release on the secure side of an electrically locked door. Blank is used where the plate controls something that isn't a door, or where signage is applied separately. The text and symbols are baked onto the surface rather than printed on, so they don't wear off under heavy traffic.
2) Is the RCI 940 push plate a momentary switch, and can I get a double pole version?
Standard operation is momentary, single pole double throw (SPDT). One set of transfer contacts closes only while the plate is pressed, which is what an automatic operator or a mag lock release circuit expects. If you need two independent circuits from one press, say releasing a mag lock and signaling the access panel at the same time, order the P94/5DMO DPDT accessory kit with the plate.
3) Do I need a separate timer to hold a mag lock released after someone hits the RCI 940 plate?
Yes, if you want a timed release. The plate is a momentary switch, so the contact transfers only while it is being pressed. For a fixed hold, add the TD30 30-second timer. If the dwell needs tuning on site, for example a slow vestibule or a long corridor run, use the TD30A adjustable timer instead. Both are RCI accessories that pair with the 940 plate.
4) What do I need to order with the RCI 940 push plate to finish the job?
The plate itself is a dry-contact switch, so the rest depends on the opening. Decide four things: which face you need (Blank, Handicap Symbol, Handicap Symbol + Push to Open, or Push to Exit); whether you need DPDT, which adds the P94/5DMO kit; whether there is a recessed box already, and if not, add the 9SURBOX surface box; and whether the release has to be timed, which brings in the TD30 or the adjustable TD30A. Power supply, wiring, and the lock or operator being controlled are supplied separately.
5) Can the RCI 940 push plate be used outdoors or in a wash-down area?
The RCI 940 is specified as a commercial push plate with a brushed stainless steel faceplate and beveled tamper-resistant edges, which addresses vandalism and high traffic rather than water exposure. For exterior or wash-down openings, the Dortronics WR5276-HD22 Series is a heavy duty waterproof switch with a stainless entry button, and the Dortronics 5277-PZL Series is a weather proof heavy duty touch sensitive piezo push button with a dual-color illuminated ring.
6) What should I use instead of the RCI 940 if I want a no-touch release?
The RCI 940 is a mechanical push plate - activation requires pressure anywhere on the stainless faceplate. If the application calls for hands-free actuation, the Locknetics WS-200 and WS-200-MB are flush mount wave switches, and the Cal-Royal 8633-SW is a microwave cell switch supplied with single and double gang black faceplates. The Dortronics 5277-PZL is touch sensitive piezo, so it still requires contact but has no moving plate.
7) Will the RCI 940 hold up in a school or a transit vestibule where plates get abused?
It is built for that. The faceplate is stainless steel with beveled edges, so there is no lip for someone to get a pry tool under, and the graphics are baked onto the surface rather than applied as a label that can be picked off. It is rated for commercial use. One practical advantage in a rough location: the whole plate is the touch area, so activation works no matter where the contact lands, including an elbow, a wheelchair footrest, or a gloved hand.
8) Should I use a push plate like the RCI 940 or a touchless wave switch at my entrance?
A push plate is a mechanical switch, so it needs contact. That is a plus where reliability and vandal resistance matter more than hygiene, since there is nothing to false-trigger and nothing to adjust. If contact is the problem, for example a healthcare corridor or a clean area, a no-touch device is the better call. ZenSupply carries the Locknetics WS-200 flush mount wave switch and the Dortronics 5277-PZL piezo touch-sensitive button with an illuminated ring for those jobs. The RCI 940 remains the choice when the device will take abuse.
9) Is the RCI 940 push plate a door position switch, or does it tell the panel the door opened?
No. The 940 is an actuator only. It reports that someone pressed the plate, not that the door moved. If you need door position monitoring for the access control panel or an alarm shunt, that is a separate magnetic contact: Schlage Electronics 7764 for a concealed flush mount in the door and frame edge, or the 7766 for surface mount, both single pole double throw. Many jobs use both, the push plate for release and the position switch for status.
10) Will the RCI 940 plate work as a request-to-exit device on my existing cylindrical lock?
It works as a wall-mounted exit release beside the door, wired into the lock power or access panel, using the Push to Exit face. It does not go inside a lock. If what you actually need is a request-to-exit signal generated by the lever itself, that is a different part: Command Access makes the REXKIT-CL field installable RX switch kit with SPDT configuration for CL180 Series cylindrical locks. Use the 940 when the release is a deliberate press on the wall, and a lock-mounted RX when the signal has to come from normal egress.
11) Is a Schlage 7764 or 7766 a substitute for the RCI 940 push plate?
No. The Schlage Electronics 7764 and 7766 are magnetic door position switches - the 7764 concealed flush mount and the 7766 surface mount, both single pole double throw - and they report whether the door is closed. The RCI 940 is an operator-actuated push plate release that a person presses to signal the door. The two are often on the same opening but they are not interchangeable.
12) I need two separate circuits from one switch - does the RCI 940 do that, or is there another option?
The RCI 940 ships with momentary SPDT switch operation as standard, and the P94/5DMO DPDT accessory kit is available when a second set of contacts is needed. If you would rather buy a device with dual switching built in, the Norton Rixson 504 is a dual SPDT momentary vestibule switch with a stainless steel face plate. The single-circuit counterpart is the Norton Rixson 503 vestibule switch, an SPDT momentary push switch rated 15 amps.
13) What do I use instead of the RCI 940 if the release needs to be hidden from the public?
The RCI 940 is a visible wall plate - the whole point of its 2-3/4 by 4-1/2 inch stainless face and baked-on symbols is that an occupant can find and press it. For a release that staff operate out of sight, the Locknetics CSW-100 and CSW-200 are flush mount concealed desk releases with SPDT switching, typically mounted under a counter. For key-controlled rather than free-press operation, the Detex CS-400 Series is a line of electronic keyswitches with LED indicators.
14) I want a wall switch that shows door status - does the RCI 940 have an indicator light?
The RCI 940 is a plain mechanical push plate in brushed stainless with baked-on graphics and no indicator described. If the job requires visible status at the switch, the Locknetics TS-100 is a dual LED status indicator touch switch with a programmable timer, and the Dortronics 5277-PZL piezo button carries a dual-color illuminated ring. Note that the 940 handles timed release through separate accessories - the TD30 30-second timer or the TD30A adjustable timer - rather than a timer built into the plate.
15) Should I put an RCI 940 on the wall or get request-to-exit built into the lock?
The RCI 940 is a wall-mounted push plate the occupant presses, and it can be surface mounted using the 9SURBOX surface-mount box where no back box exists. If you would rather keep the wall clear and take the exit signal from the lockset itself, the Command Access REXKIT-CL is a field installable request to exit switch kit for CL180 Series cylindrical locks with SPDT configuration, matching the SPDT momentary switching the 940 uses as standard.
16) What finish is the RCI 940 push plate, and will it match my other door hardware?
Brushed stainless steel, 32D. That is the standard satin stainless finish used across commercial door hardware, so it sits next to 630 push and pull plates, exit device trim, and hinges without looking out of place. Useful for a property manager standardizing a building: 32D is the safe default across an existing stainless opening package.
