RCI 9500 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Should I order the 2 pin or the 3 pin version of the RCI 9500/9501 mortise transfer?
Two configurations are offered: a 2 PIN Mortise Transfer and a 3 PIN Mortise Transfer. Count the conductors your door-mounted device actually needs. A straight electrified lock or latch retraction that only needs power and common takes the 2 pin. If the lock also reports back, a latch or door position monitor conductor for example, you need the third pin. Each pin is one conductor, so ordering short means running the job again.
2) Will the RCI 9500/9501 pin transfer handle my 24VAC electric strike or lock power draw?
The 9500/9501 is rated 1.5A at 24VAC. Add up the inrush and holding current of the door-mounted device you are feeding; anything at or under 1.5A on a 24VAC circuit is inside the rating. If the lock draws more than that, or runs on a voltage outside the 24VAC rating, use a higher-capacity transfer such as a door loop or electric hinge instead.
3) How much space do I need in the door and frame edge for an RCI 9500 pin transfer?
The unit measures 1/2 x 2-3/4 inches (13mm x 71mm), and it mortises into the hinge edge of the door with a matching prep in the frame. You need that pocket in both halves, aligned so the pins meet when the door closes. It is a small prep compared with a concealed door loop, which is part of why it goes into standard door and frame preparations.
4) Is the Adams Rite 4605 transformer an alternative to the RCI 9500/9501 mortise pin transfer?
No, they do different jobs and are often used together. The Adams Rite 4605 is a regular transformer that steps 115 VAC down to 12/24 VAC with a 40 volt-amp output, so it is the source of power at the wall. The RCI 9500/9501 mortise pin transfer is the link that carries that power across the gap from frame to door, rated 1.5A at 24VAC, with nickel-plated brass pins recessed into the hinge side so the unit is concealed when the door is closed. If an electric lock in the door leaf needs 24VAC, the 4605 can feed the circuit and the 9500/9501 can cross the opening; neither replaces the other.
5) I need a signal from the door for request-to-exit, not power into the door. Should I order the RCI 9500/9501 or something else?
Order a switch kit, not a pin transfer. The RCI 9500/9501 mortise pin transfer moves power at 1.5A, 24VAC across the hinge side of the opening into an electric lock mounted in the door; it does not generate a signal. For a request-to-exit contact inside the lock, the Command Access REX-KIT-ML is a field installable request to exit kit for ML1-Series mortise locks, and the CRSREXKIT-ED is a field installable request to exit kit for Cal Royal 22/98 and Sargent 80 Series exit devices with an SPDT switch. A REX signal originating in the door leaf still has to reach the frame, so many jobs use both a switch kit and a transfer.
6) Is a mortise pin transfer or a surface door loop the better choice for electrifying a door?
Pin transfers like the RCI 9500/9501 sit recessed in the hinge side of the door and frame and disappear when the door closes, so there is nothing to grab, cut, or vandalize. That makes them the pick where security or appearance matters, and where you can machine both the door and frame edge. A surface door loop is the alternative when you cannot mortise the door, when the door swings through a large arc, or when you need more conductors or more current than 1.5A at 24VAC. The trade is visibility for capacity.
7) What are the RCI 9500 transfer pins made of and will they hold up in a high traffic opening?
Pins are nickel-plated brass, housed in a white finished plastic body. Brass with a nickel plate is the standard for a sliding electrical contact because it stays conductive and resists the pitting you get from repeated make-and-break contact every time the door closes. The unit is specified for commercial use, which is what these openings see in healthcare, education, and multi-tenant buildings.
8) Does the RCI 9500/9501 mortise pin transfer include a power supply?
No. The pin transfer is a conductor path only, so you supply the 24VAC source separately, plus the wire from the supply to the frame side and from the door side to the lock. For the transformer end of that job ZenSupply carries the Adams Rite 4605 regular transformer, which takes 115 VAC down to 12/24 VAC with a 40 volt-amp output.
9) Can I use a pin transfer to power a lock on a glass door or an aluminum storefront?
A mortise pin transfer needs enough material in the hinge edge of both the door and the frame to take a 1/2 x 2-3/4 inch pocket, so a frameless glass leaf is out. For glass door openings, Securitron Glass Door Accessories are the parts made for that condition. Narrow aluminum stile doors need the stile checked against the same pocket before you commit.
10) I need my mortise lock to signal request-to-exit, not just receive power. Is a pin transfer what I need?
The transfer only moves conductors across the gap, it does not generate a signal. The switch itself has to live in the lock. Command Access makes field-installable kits for that: the REX-KIT-ML for ML1-Series mortise locks, and the SCHLBMKIT-ML latchbolt monitor switch kit for Schlage L9000 mortise locks in an SPDT configuration. You would still run those switch conductors back through a transfer, and each conductor consumes one pin, which is where the 3 pin version usually comes in.
11) What do I use if I need to monitor whether the latchbolt is thrown, instead of powering the lock?
That is a monitoring switch, a different device from a power transfer. The Command Access SCHLBMKIT-ML is a field installable latchbolt monitor switch kit for Schlage L9000 mortise locks in an SPDT configuration, which reports latch position back to the panel. The RCI 9500/9501 mortise pin transfer has no switching contacts; it carries 1.5A at 24VAC through nickel-plated brass pins between the frame and the door leaf. On a door that both monitors the latch and powers an electric lock in the leaf, the monitor kit provides the contact and the pin transfer provides the crossing.
12) Is a Locknetics RDB4 relay board a substitute for a mortise pin transfer?
No. The Locknetics RDB4 is a 4 output relay distribution board, supplied as a board only, and it lives in the enclosure where the access control wiring is terminated. The RCI 9500/9501 mortise pin transfer is a two-piece pin and receptacle set recessed into the hinge side of the door and frame, available in 2 PIN and 3 PIN contact configurations to match the wiring of the electric lock it feeds. The relay board switches circuits at the panel; the pin transfer is what gets those conductors into a moving door leaf.
13) My electrified hardware is on an exit device, not a mortise lock. Does the RCI 9500 transfer still apply?
Yes, the transfer is agnostic about what it feeds as long as the load stays within 1.5A at 24VAC and the conductor count fits 2 or 3 pins. What changes is the switch gear at the device end. Command Access field kits cover common exit devices: the CRSREXKIT-ED for Cal Royal 22/98 and Sargent 80 Series with an SPDT switch, and the CYREXKIT-ED for Corbin 5000 and Yale 7000 exit devices with a 5A rating.
14) Does the white housing on the RCI 9500 pin transfer show on a painted or dark frame?
The housing is white finished plastic with nickel-plated brass pins, but it sits recessed in the hinge edge of the door and frame. With the door closed the unit is concealed, and with the door open you are looking at the hinge edge, not the face of the door. Finish is not a match consideration the way it is for surface hardware.
15) The pin transfer is exposed on a high-abuse door. Is there a tamper cover I should add?
The 9500/9501 is already built around concealment rather than a cover: the unit recesses into the hinge side of the door and frame and is hidden whenever the door is closed, which protects the connections from tampering without added hardware. Anti-tamper covers such as the Dortronics 6510/COV are made for surface devices, in that case 6500 Series pull stations and 5000 Series push buttons, not for a mortised transfer. If the opening also carries a surface-mounted pull station or push button, that is where a cover belongs.
