GENERAL INFORMATION

Honeywell Relialign™ RDI Series Residential Door

Interlock switches are electromechanical devices designed

for use in residential swing door applications, specifically

dumbwaiters, lifts for the mobility impaired and swing-door

elevators in the USA. In Canada, the RDI is designed for

use in residential swing door applications, specifically

elevators and dumbwaiters but is not designed for use in

lifts for the mobility impaired. The interlock holds the door

in place and prevents it from being opened in potentially

unsafe conditions (e.g. the elevator/lift car is not present at

the door). .

Featuring Honeywell MICRO SWITCH™ switches as an

internal solenoid control mechanism, the Relialign™ Series

of door interlocks may reduce complexity of the host

controller, reduce power consumption, extend solenoid life,

and reduce solenoid timeouts. Additional Honeywell

MICRO SWITCH™ basic switches are used to indicate

door closure and door lock status, providing an extra level

of reliability. RDI Series interlocks are configurable and

available in left- and right-hand versions, allowing for

simplified installation, customization, and retrofitting into

current designs.

Honeywell RDI series switches comply with ANSI/ASME

A17.1 & A18.1 :2010, (the safety code standards for

elevator and escalators), CAN/CSAB44, and UL104

standards. The snap-action cam mechanism reduces

adjustment set-up time and the key engagement was

designed to minimize maintenance costs due to false

alarms. The RDI Series has a robust zinc die cast housing

and cover with powder coat finish (white or bronze).

WARNING

Relialign™ Series residential door interlocks are not a

sealed switch. It is not recommended to be used in the

areas where liquid or oil may splash.

WARNING

RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY

Never use this product for an application involving serious

risk to life or property without ensuring that the system as a

whole has been designed to address the risks, and that

this product is property rated and installed for the intended

use within the overall system.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result

in death or serious injury.

MOUNTING

Note mounting dimension drawings for the installation

locations. (See Figures 1-2). A separate mounting template

provided in the product packaging will guide the installer on

how to prepare for the installation of the switch. The switch

shall be mounted only in vertical orientation with the

conduit opening up. For the switch that use the 6-pin

terminals, remove the terminal block assembly inside the

housing to reach the mounting holes. Ensure that the

terminal block is assembled back onto the housing

securely using the screws, once the switch is mounted.

ADJUSTMENT

The mounting template aligns the key to the center of the

opening in the interlock housing allowing for door sag over

time without any adjustment.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the cover by unscrewing the cover screw(s).

2. CAT5 option only – Plug the mating CAT5 connector

into the female receptacle on the RDI interlock.

3. Terminal block option – Unscrew the terminal

screws. Connect wires per the schematics provided on

the inside of the interlock’s cover. Torque all terminal

screws with a tightening torque of 0.5 Nm to 0.7 Nm.

4. Assemble back the cover. Securely tighten the

screw(s). Recommended tightening torque for the

cover screw(s) is 1.5 Nm max.

NOTICE FOR EXTERNAL SOLENOID CONTROL

OPTION:

The solenoid inside the Relialign RDI Series is rated for

continuous duty. However, energy costs can be reduced by

ensuring the solenoid is unpowered once the key has

entered the locked position. It is recommend that the

solenoid controller has a “timing out” feature that

automatically cuts power to the solenoid to avoid excessive

powered on intervals.
