RCI 96MA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the RCI 96 switch come with a housing or is it just the switch?
It is the switch component only. The 960 Series second position switch is meant to be integrated into a compatible RCI electronic lock or access control assembly, so plan on the parent device providing the housing and mounting. Order it as a field add-on or replacement for an existing 960 Series device, not as a standalone pushbutton station.
2) What is the difference between the RCI 96MA and 96MO switch options?
Both are SPDT switches in the RCI 960 Series for second position control. The 96MA is the maintained version, meaning the contacts stay in their switched state until physically changed again, while the 96MO is momentary, returning to its normal state as soon as the actuating force is released. Choose maintained where a latched condition needs to be held by the switch itself, and momentary where the switch pulses a signal to a controller or lock power supply.
3) Can I use the RCI 960 Series SPDT switch to monitor whether a door is open or closed?
That is a different job. The RCI 960 Series SPDT switch is a second position control switch that integrates into electronic lock and access control systems. For sensing door position itself, the Schlage Electronics 679-05 family is built as a door position switch: the 679-05 for wood door and frame, the 679-05HM for hollow metal door and frame, and the 679-05WD for a wood door in a metal frame. All three are SPDT magnetic switches rated 0.3 amps at 30 VDC, so they report the same open or closed contact state to a panel while being mortised into the door and frame rather than integrated into the lock device.
4) What should I use on an overhead or roll-up door instead of a lock mounted switch?
Neither the RCI 960 Series SPDT switch nor the mortise style magnetic switches suit an overhead opening. The Schlage Electronics 674-OH is a door status switch built specifically for overhead doors, so it is the one to specify when you need status reporting on a roll-up or sectional door. The RCI 960 Series SPDT switch stays with swinging door electronic lock and access control hardware, where it provides second position control.
5) How do I know the RCI 96 switch will fit the lock I already have installed?
Fit is decided by the parent device, not by the switch. The 96MA and 96MO are 960 Series components, so they are specified for RCI 960 Series hardware. Check the model of the device already on the door against the RCI product catalog before ordering, and follow the parent device installation instructions for wiring the second position contact.
6) Is a Schlage 679-05 magnetic switch a drop-in replacement for an RCI 960 Series switch?
No. The RCI 960 Series SPDT switch is a switch-only component intended to be integrated into a compatible electronic lock system for second position control, and it is ordered as either the 96MA maintained or 96MO momentary model. The Schlage Electronics 679-05 is a standalone SPDT magnetic door position switch rated 0.3 amps at 30 VDC that mounts into the door and frame. Both give an SPDT contact, but they mount in different places and serve different functions, so one does not swap into the other's position.
7) Can I use the RCI 960 Series switch on a residential door?
It is built and catalogued as a commercial component, intended for access control and electronic lock installations in commercial and institutional buildings. There is nothing in a house that would normally call for a second position contact inside an access control device, so for residential work look at a standard door contact instead.
8) What does SPDT mean on an access control switch, and why would I need one?
SPDT is single pole double throw: one common contact that transfers between a normally open and a normally closed terminal. That gives you both a make and a break from one switch, so a single second position switch can signal an access control panel on one leg while releasing or holding a circuit on the other. It is what you use when the controller needs both states rather than a simple dry closure.
