1.2 Product Description

The 212e Keypad is designed for convenience, and features a single
relay output to control any device requiring an on/off switch. The
output is timed or latched and operated by a user’s PIN code. Addi-
tionally, the 212e Keypad can provide basic keyless entry by control-
ling a door locking device where security is not an issue. It allows
120 users as well as various keypad options.

All e style keypads are designed for both indoor and outdoor flush
mount applications. The electronics for each e keypad are conformal
coated in the manufacturing process in order to provide this level of
application flexibility. In addition, each e style keypad uses hard-
ened keys to assure long-term, high-quality performance. Each e
style keypad contains illuminated clear keys that make operation in
low-light situations easy and accurate. Installation is easy. All e style
keypads mount to any standard single-gang electrical box or directly
to any wall.

3. Mounting
The 212e Keypad is designed to be flush mounted using a standard
single-gang electrical box. In addition, it can be flush mounted di-
rectly to the wall surface by cutting a hole in the wall. In order to
properly size the mounting and wire access hole, use the installation
template on the last page of this manual and on the unit’s container.
Mounting height can vary depending on requirements. An appropri-
ate range is typically between 48 and 52 inches on center off the
floor.
For outdoor installations, use a weatherproof backbox and seal the
wire entry locations with silicone. In addition, use the anti-oxidant
grease pack for the wire harness connectors.

4.2 Wiring the 212e Keypad to a Maglock (Fail-

Safe)
Use the following steps to connect the 212e keypad to a Maglock
(Fail-Safe):
1. Connect the red wire (V+) to the blue wire (common), and
then connect them to the positive on the power supply.
2. Connect the gray wire (normally closed) to the positive on
the maglock.
3. Connect the black wire (V-) to the negative on the Maglock,
and then connect them to the negative on the power supply.

4.3 Wiring the 212e Keypad to an Electric

Strike (Fail-Secure)
Use the following steps to connect the 212e keypad to an electric
strike (fail-secure) (see Figure 4 for reference):

1. Connect the red wire (V+) to the blue wire (common), and
then connect them to the positive on the power supply.
2. Connect the green wire (normally open) to the positive on
the strike.
3. Connect the black wire (V-) to the negative on the strike, and
then connect them to the negative on the power supply.

4.4 Shunting a Normally Closed Zone

Use the following steps to employ the 212e keypad to shunt a nor-
mally closed zone:

1. Connect the blue wire (common) to the common connection

on the door position switch.
2. Connect the green wire (normally open) to the normally
closed connection on the door position switch.

5. Testing the Keypad

After installing the keypad, IEI recommends that you perform the
keypad self-test, to ensure that the keypad works properly.

1. To perform the self-test, with the unit powered up, press the
following keys on the keypad:

7890#123456*

• If all 12 keypresses are accepted, the keypad enters self-test

mode.
• The LEDs alternate green, yellow, and red followed by the
sounder beeping three times.
2. Verify that the master code works correctly. (The master code
accesses program mode and activates the main relay to verify
that the locking device is working.)
The default master code is 1234.

6. Programming
To program the 212e keypad, you must first enter program mode
by pressing 99 # Master Code *. The default Master Code is 1234.

not at the keypad, verify there is no break in the
wires, then check continuity in the whole length of
the wire run. To verify that the keypad is working,
you can power the keypad with a 12-Volt Battery.

If the 212e Keypad still does not work after troubleshooting, please
call IEI’s technical support department at 1-800-343-9502 (outside
MA) or 1-800-733-9502 (inside MA). Operating hours are Monday
through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time.

8. Programming Mode
Loopback
If the master code is either not working or forgotten, power
down the system, connect the wire harness as shown in Figure 9
below, and then power the system up again. Next, change your
master code and power down the system and restore the wire har-
ness to its original configuration and power the system back up.

Figure 7 Programming Mode Loopback Standalone

First, disconnect power from the system. Next, connect the

White/Yellow wire to the Brown (REX) and White/Orange (Loop
Common) wire as shown in Figure 7. Finally, power up the key-
pad again.
