Von Duprin 40063 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Von Duprin 33A/35A/98/99 Series QEL Baseplate Conversion Kit used for?
This conversion kit allows you to upgrade existing Von Duprin 33A, 35A, 98, or 99 series exit devices to QEL (Quiet Electric Latch) operation. The kit provides the necessary baseplate and components for electric latch retraction functionality.
2) Which Von Duprin exit device models are compatible with this conversion kit?
The conversion kit works with Von Duprin 33A, 35A, 98, and 99 series exit devices. Verify your existing device model number before ordering to ensure proper compatibility.
3) Can this kit be installed on both LHR and RHR handed doors?
Yes, the QEL baseplate conversion kit can be configured for both left-hand reverse (LHR) and right-hand reverse (RHR) door applications. Follow the manufacturer's template for proper orientation during installation.
4) What voltage does the QEL baseplate operate on?
Von Duprin QEL baseplates typically operate on 12VDC or 24VDC power supplies. Verify the specific voltage requirements for your application and ensure proper power supply compatibility.
5) Does this conversion maintain the exit device's fire rating?
When properly installed according to manufacturer specifications, the QEL conversion should maintain the original fire rating of the exit device. Consult local fire codes and AHJ requirements for your specific application.
6) What components are included in the QEL baseplate conversion kit?
The kit typically includes the QEL baseplate, electric latch mechanism, wiring harness, and mounting hardware. Check the manufacturer's parts list to confirm all components are included for your specific installation.
7) Is special drilling required to install this conversion kit?
Installation may require additional drilling for mounting holes and wire routing. Use the manufacturer's template for precise hole locations. Verify door construction and thickness before drilling.
8) How do I wire the QEL baseplate to my access control system?
The QEL baseplate connects to your access control system through low-voltage wiring. Follow the wiring diagram provided with the kit and ensure proper voltage compatibility between the baseplate and your control panel.
9) Can I adjust the latch retraction timing on the QEL baseplate?
Latch retraction timing is typically controlled by your access control system, not the baseplate itself. The QEL mechanism will retract the latch as long as power is applied from the control system.
10) Are there other Von Duprin electric latch options besides QEL?
Von Duprin offers various electric latch options including EL (Electric Latch) and QEL (Quiet Electric Latch) mechanisms. QEL provides quieter operation compared to standard EL options. Browse our Von Duprin selection for other electric hardware solutions.
11) What door weights and sizes are compatible with this QEL conversion?
The QEL conversion maintains the same door weight and size limitations as your original 33A, 35A, 98, or 99 series exit device. Verify your door specifications meet the original device requirements before installation.
12) How do I troubleshoot a QEL baseplate that won't retract the latch?
Check power supply voltage, wiring connections, and control system output. Verify the latch mechanism moves freely and isn't binding. Ensure proper voltage is reaching the baseplate when the access control system sends a release signal.
