The Von Duprin 47269206 is the OEM QEL/MEL Motor Cable with 6-foot Harness for Von Duprin motorized electric latch retraction exit devices, documented in the Allegion Connect Technical Manual (doc 110380) and confirmed furnished as standard equipment with MEL (Motorized Electric Latch) devices. The cable connects the motorized latch retraction motor assembly inside the exit device to the Electric Power Transfer (EPT) hinge or frame wiring system. It is in stock and covers both QEL (Quiet Electric Latch) and MEL configurations across the Von Duprin 22 Series, 70 Series, 33A/35A Series, and 98/99 Series electrified exit device families.

One critical installation note from the Allegion Connect Technical Manual: "The 6' cable (47269206) furnished with standard MEL devices is not furnished or required for CON applications." If the exit device installation uses the Allegion Connect wiring system, the 47269206 cable is not needed. For all standard (non-CON) QEL/MEL installations, this cable is the correct field replacement or supplemental harness.

What the Von Duprin Motor Cable Does in QEL and MEL Devices

QEL (Quiet Electric Latch Retraction) and MEL (Motorized Electric Latch) are Von Duprin's motor-driven latch retraction systems for exit devices. When an access control signal is sent to the exit device, the motor inside the QEL/MEL assembly rotates, retracting the latch bolt and allowing the door to be pulled open from the push side without activating the push bar. The 47269206 motor cable is the wiring harness that carries the electrical power and control signals between that motor assembly and the power source or access control system.

In a standard door installation, power and signals reach the exit device through wiring that originates in the door frame or wall. The Electric Power Transfer (EPT) hinge is the most common method for passing power from the frame to the door-mounted exit device through the hinge knuckles. The 47269206 cable connects from the motor assembly inside the exit device to the EPT hinge connection point, completing the power path.

The 6-foot harness length provides sufficient cable to route from the exit device across the door face to the hinge area, even on wider doors where routing distance is longer. The Allegion Connect Technical Manual notes that variable length harnesses in this system use 20-gauge wire, and that field wiring from the frame to the power supply must use appropriate gauge wire based on the specific hardware installation requirements.

Von Duprin Motor Cable: Device Coverage Across the Exit Device Catalog

The 47269206 covers the following device series in both QEL and MEL configurations:

22 Series QEL: 22 Rim and 22-F Rim. The compact 22 Series rim device with QEL motorized latch retraction uses this cable as the standard harness.

70 Series QEL: 75 and 75-F Rim, 7527 and 7527-F SVR, 7547 and 7547-F CVR, 78 and 78-F Rim, 7827 and 7827-F SVR, 7847 and 7847-F CVR, 7847 and 7847-F WDC. All standard and fire-rated configurations in the 70 Series QEL family use the 47269206.

33A/35A Series and 98/99 Series: Per the Access Hardware product documentation, the 47269206 is also used on 33A/35A and 98/99 Series electrified kits where the QEL or MEL motorized latch retraction option is installed.

Von Duprin Exit Device Parts: 47269206 vs Companion Cables

Two different 6-foot motor cables are used in Von Duprin's electrified exit device line, and selecting the correct one matters:

47269206 (this product) = QEL/MEL motor cable. Furnished standard with MEL devices. Used on QEL and MEL installations in the device series listed above. Not required for Allegion Connect (CON) applications.

110388 = The companion 6-foot cable furnished standard with EL (Electric Latch, solenoid-driven) devices and some QEL configurations. Not required for CON applications. This is the solenoid-based EL version, not the motorized QEL/MEL version.

Confirm whether the installed device is QEL/MEL (motorized) or EL (solenoid) before ordering. These cables serve different drive systems and are not interchangeable.
