About this item
The Von Duprin 040192 is a genuine Chexit motor cable kit, the replacement cable that connects the motor to the control system inside a Von Duprin Chexit delayed-egress exit device. It's the factory service part you order when the motor cable in a Chexit device is disconnected, broken, or defective, and it restores the connection that lets the device arm, hold, and release on schedule. The 040192 is built for the Von Duprin CX98/99 Series Chexit devices, it's a Grade 1 exit device part, and it's non-fire-rated.
What the Chexit motor cable does
It helps to understand where this part fits. Chexit is Von Duprin's self-contained delayed-egress system, the exit device that holds a door secured for 15 seconds after someone pushes the bar, then releases, used in behavioral health, memory care, maternity, and similar settings to prevent elopement or abduction while still meeting egress code. On motor-driven Chexit devices (those shipped after 8-24-2015), a small motor drives the secure/release mechanism, and the motor cable is what links that motor to the Chexit control module.
If that cable is disconnected, broken, or defective, the device cannot signal or hold correctly, in fact a disconnected or defective CX motor cable is one of the named causes of a Chexit device failing to provide delayed egress. Replacing it with the correct factory cable kit restores proper operation, which matters because this is life-safety and security hardware where reliable function is not optional.
Genuine Von Duprin replacement part
The 040192 is a genuine Von Duprin component, not a generic substitute, so it matches the connector, length, and specification the Chexit device expects. Using the factory cable keeps the device operating as designed and within its listing, which a non-OEM part cannot guarantee on a delayed-egress system. It's a Grade 1 exit device part and is non-fire-rated.
The 040192 is one of several Chexit service parts in the Von Duprin electrical line. The related parts cover the rest of the system: the 040191 Chexit wiring assembly handles the device's main wiring, and the 040193 Chexit trim device cable kit connects the trim. Ordering the correct part number for the exact component you're servicing is the whole job, the motor cable (040192), the wiring assembly (040191), and the trim cable (040193) are different parts and are not interchangeable.

Why order the genuine 040192
For a motor-driven Chexit device that has lost delayed egress, a disconnected, broken, or defective motor cable is a common and fixable cause, and the 040192 is the correct genuine cable kit to restore it. A factory part guarantees the right fit and keeps the delayed-egress system working as designed, which is exactly what you want on hardware that secures behavioral health, memory care, and maternity openings. Sourcing the matched part by number avoids the mistake of ordering the wrong Chexit cable, since the motor, wiring, and trim cables are separate components.
One thing to confirm before ordering: the 040192 is the motor cable kit for motor-driven Chexit devices (CX98/99 Series). If you are servicing a different part of the device, the 040191 wiring assembly or 040193 trim cable may be what you need instead. If you are not certain which Chexit cable failed, we can help you identify it.
