Preparing the door
1Mark centerlines
Note 1: If retrofitting to an existing exit hardware instal-
lation, skip this task. Instead, remove the exit hardware
from the door.
Note 2: If the door is a fabricated hollow metal door,
determine whether it is properly reinforced to support the
lock. If door reinforcement is not adequate, consult the
door manufacturer for information on proper reinforce-
ment.
1 Prepare the push side of the door according to the exit
device manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Note: The tape-on template supplied with the EXQ trim
will supersede the exit device template in the trim area.
2 Transfer horizontal and vertical centerlines to the out-
side of the door face.
Note: When measuring from the edge of the door, take
into account the door bevel (if any).
2Determine required door prep
1 Determine which template is applicable (Q08 for Preci-
sion and Sargent, Q07 for Von Duprin) and discard the
other one.
2 Based on the kind of exit device you have, use the table
below to locate the appropriate door preparation.
3 On the template, circle the holes needed for your instal-
lation and cross out those that are not applicable.

13 Route sensor wires
Use the following table to determine sensing wire
functions:
1 Pull wires from the sensor harness, door position
switch, latchbolt switch, and touchbar switch to the
top of the device head as shown in Figure 23.
Note: For Precision 2300, Sargent 8800, or any Von
Duprin application without RQE, pull the door position
switch and sensor harness wires into the battery bracket
area rather than the device head.
Note: For Von Duprin applications with RQE, touchbar
switch wires must be re-routed into the device head in
such a way as to avoid any pinching or contact with
moving parts. The sensor harness can be routed into the
head area through any suitable hole in the chassis.
2 Cut the wires to the appropriate length (that is,
remove the excess to leave minimal slack after the
spliced connections).
3 Strip the wire ends for connection using the butt-
splices.
4 Make wire connections as detailed in Figure 24 or Fig-
ure 25 using the butt-splices (provided).
Note: For Sargent devices, connect the door position
switch to the two white sensor harness wires.
Note: In the case of unused wires, be sure to cover the
ends with electrical tape.

18 Install battery pack in bracket
1 Connect the battery pack to the battery connector on
the wire harness as shown in Figure 29.
Caution: When connecting the battery pack,
make sure:
—there are no loose wire connections where the
wires are inserted into the connectors
—the connectors are firmly mated.
2 Place the battery pack in the holder inside the battery
bracket and dress the wire harness inside the bracket.
Caution: The battery pack fit will be snug. Make
sure you do not damage the sleeving on the bat-
tery pack. Doing so may cause the batteries to
drain.
3 If installing with a surface vertical rod device,
dress the wire harness inside the bracket to the left of
the rod so that the harness will not interfere with the
movement of the rods.
We recommend that you loosely coil the harness and
use a cable tie to secure the coil. To avoid damaging
the harness, do not put any sharp bends in it or flex it
close to the connectors.
Caution: Failure to dress the wire harness away
from the rod could damage the wire harness,
causing the lock’s electronics to not work prop-
erly.

19 Install battery/antenna cover
1 If installing with a surface vertical rod exit device,
carefully use a razor blade to remove the knockouts for
the rod from the battery cover. See Figure 30.
2 Connect the antenna to its mating connector.
3 Coil the antenna wire carefully inside the battery
cover.
Caution: Carefully bend, but do not twist or kink
the antenna wire. Doing so may significantly
reduce or completely interrupt signal transmis-
sion.
4 Making sure that the battery/antenna cover does
not pinch any wires, place the battery/antenna cover
over the bracket and battery.
5 Secure the battery cover with the provided self-tap-
ping screws.
Caution: Tighten screws firmly but do not over-
tighten. Over-tightening may strip screw holes or
crack the cover.
