Install Cable Assembly

A.
Locate the cable assembly (514040), which has a strap fork (Clevis) secured by a ball and shank on one end
and a brass threaded (#10-24) plug with a brass nut (115123) on the other end.
B.
Refer to Figure 23 or Figure 24 depending on the handing of the installation. Spread the (Clevis) strap fork over
the upper lever arm (DK9300-020-520) of the Rim Exit Device chassis and align the strap fork holes with the
hole in the (Clevis).
Secure the (Clevis) strap fork to the lever arm (DK9300-020-520) pivot pin (6400-127-400) and the "C"-Clip (337-
C.
110). When the correct timing is achieved, tighten the lock nut (115123) down on the connector rod (515040).

Connect Cable Assemblies

A.
Refer to Figure 25 or Figure 26 depending on the handing of the installation. Move the brass jamb nut (115123)
away from the open end of the brass threaded plug on the cable assembly (116036). Turn the brass-threaded plug
into the turnbuckle on the lock cable assembly until approximately half of the threaded plug is inside the turnbuckle.
B.
DO NOT tighten the brass nut on the threaded plug at this time.

Adjust Cable Length

The effective cable length may be changed by turning the brass-threaded plug into and out of the turnbuckle. The cable
length must be adjusted so that as the panic bar of the Rim Exit Device is depressed, the DKX Series bolt is fully retracted
and latched back just before the Rim Exit Device latch bolt clears its strike. Refer to Figure 25 and Figure 26 in preparation
for adjusting the cable length. The proper sequence of adjustment is:
A.
With the door open, slowly depress the panic bar and determine if the CDX-10 bolt retracts and latches back prior to maximum
depression of the panic bar. If the bolt does not retract and latch back, slightly shorten cable and recheck.
B.
Close the door and slowly depress the panic bar until the rim exit device latch bolt just clears its strike. Check to see if the
CDX-10 bolt is fully retracted and latched back at this point.
