GENERAL INFORMATION
SPECIFICATIONS
TOOLS NEEDED
The QEL94/9547 Exit Device is designed to provide reduced pushpad projection and a unique appearance b
y embedding
the device into the face of the door.
These instructions assume that a factory-prepared door and frame are being used.
Before starting installation, review "Warnings," "Parts," "Specifications," and "Tools Needed."
Mechanical
• Vertical rods adjustable for doors 6'8" to 8' tall
• Rods for 10' doors are available upon request
• Pushpad projection (depressed) 1¹⁄₈" to 1¹⁄₄"
Electrical Load
• Voltage: 24 VDC
• Current: 1.0 A inrush (0.5 sec)
0.14 A holding
These are the tools needed for installing a QEL94/9547 into a factory-prepared door and frame.

1 PREPARE DOOR FOR TRIM (SKIP THIS STEP IF NOT USING TRIM)
2 PREPARE HOLE FOR RATCHET RELEASE PLUNGER
Drill through the four mounting holes and trim access hole at the latch side of the cutout. See trim installation
instructions for hole sizes and locations.
a. Determine stop height (Figure 2-1), then mark center of hole on device side of door (Figure 2-2).
b. Drill a ¹⁄₂” diameter hole where marked through device side of door only.

a. Connect field wiring to frame side of power transfer (Figure 3-1).
b. See LX switch wiring information (Figure 3-2) for switch configuration.
c. Connect LX switch wiring to door side of power transfer using crimp connectors. Unused wires should be insulated
separately.
The latch bolt monitor switch is activated
whenever the latch bolt is retracted. The
switch function is shown with the latchbolt
extended and the touchbar not depressed.

5 INSTALL TOP LATCH
a. Rivet two-piece top rod together. Align holes according to door height (Figure 5-1). Rod length for a 7-foot door is
approximately 38¹⁄₂”. Top rod sections are longer than bottom rod sections.
b. Attach brackets to top latch, then thread rod assembly onto latch (Figure 5-2).
c. Slide rod and latch into prep at door top (Figure 5-3), and attach rod to center case (Figure 5-4).
d. Fasten latch to door with supplied screws (Figure 5-5).

10 ADJUST TOP ROD
a. Fully depress and hold pushpad.
b. Set top latch in fully retracted (hold) position (Figure
10-1).
c. Push down on center case connector, adjust rod
length, and connect top rod (Figure 10-2).
d. Verify that pushpad projection, when depressed,
is between 1¹⁄₈” and 1¹⁄₄”. Adjust top rod if necessary:
Lengthening the top rod will reduce pushpad
projection when depressed.
e. If using trim, verify that the trim fully retracts the top
latch. If the trim does not fully retract the top latch,
adjust the top rod so it is shorter.
f. Open door and release latches by inserting a
Phillips head screwdriver into the ratchet release
plunger hole. Check top latch deadlocking: Top latch
should not retract when pressed down.
• If top latch bolt does not stay fully retracted,
shorten top rod (Figure 10-2) and retest.
• If top latch bolt does not fully extend or deadlock,
lengthen top rod (Figure 10-2) and retest.
• If bottom latch bolt does not stay fully retracted,
shorten bottom rod (see Step 11) and retest.
• If bottom latch bolt does not fully extend, lengthen
bottom rod (see Step 11) and retest.
