Heavy Duty Quiet Electric Latch Retraction Surface Vertical Rod Device for Narrow Stiles - (versions suit doors <915mm & 1220mm)

Quiet electric latch retraction (QEL) provides electronic control of an exit device for environments where limited operational noise is desired. The QEL option is Von Duprin’s solution for hospitals, libraries, museums and theatres where ambient noise can be disruptive. The Quiet One® —A fluid dampener decelerates the touch bar on its return stroke and eliminates most noise associated with exit device operations. It is furnished on all 33A/35A series exit devices. These devices always provide mechanical egress. The electrified latch retraction can be activated by an access system or building automation system to unlatch the exit device momentarily. Often, the QEL is used with a credential reader and access control system to unlock the door momentarily for authorised users. The QEL can also be configured to electronically retract the latch for an extended period to allow free entry. This is a convenient alternative to mechanical dogging. If manual dogging is required, the hex dogging option is available to order - specify HD-QEL. Special centre case dogging is also available for 98/99 rim and vertical systems, specify SD-QEL.

Per BS EN 1125: 2008 Annexe A (informative), the device should be installed with the touch bar typically between 900mm and 1100mm from the finished floor level when the door is secure. Where it is known that most of the premises' occupants will be young children, it is acceptable to reduce the fixing height accordingly.

This range of architectural-grade escape devices includes the 35A series, with its smooth mechanism case, and the established 33A series, with its familiar grooved design. The two styles are mechanically and dimensionally identical and provide a solution for narrow stile applications down to 44mm. They are best suited to heavy-duty situations on narrow stile perimeter and internal doors where safe egress in panic emergencies is required.
