2) Which Von Duprin exit devices are compatible with this conversion kit?
The kit works with specific Von Duprin rim and mortise exit devices. Check the manufacturer's compatibility chart for your exact model number before ordering. Not all exit devices can accept QEL conversion.
3) Does this kit work on both right hand and left hand doors?
Yes, the QEL modular kit is field-reversible for either hand application. The module can be configured during installation for the proper door swing.

Standard finishes include aluminum, dark bronze, and satin stainless steel. Special order finishes may be available. Match the finish to your existing exit device for consistent appearance.
5) What power requirements does the QEL module need?
The QEL module typically operates on 12VDC or 24VDC power supply. Verify voltage requirements with your access control system. Current draw is approximately 150mA when energized.
6) Does this conversion maintain the original fire rating of the exit device?
Yes, when properly installed, the QEL conversion maintains the UL listing and fire rating of the original exit device. Follow manufacturer installation instructions exactly.
7) What components are included in the conversion kit?
