a rugged, vandal resistant case, which you can use for
almost any application. The SSWiLM has hardened backlit
keys designed to perform in medium to high traffic areas
and in rough duty environments. The electronics are also
conformal coated, which makes the keypad suitable for
indoor or outdoor applications.

232iLM Keypad Installation & Programming
Keypad Installation Procedure:
Step 1: Drill through the back plate using a 11/64” bit. Use the template on the back page to accurately mark the mounting
holes before drilling. Then drill the mounting holes with a 9/64” drill bit. Also drill the hole for the wires. This may
vary depending on the number of conductors required.
Step 2: On the keypad end, strip back the insulator from the wire and tape the drain wire (shield) to the jacket. Now
connect the required wires to the 8-conductor wire harness provided. The wire harness plugs into the 8-position
connector on the keypad. At the other end of your wire run, strip back the insulator from the wire but do not tape
the drain wire to the jacket. The drain wire must be connected to ground at the controller end. See the diagrams
below.
Step 3: Finally mount the keypad onto the mounting surface using the provided screws. Do no over-tighten the screws,
which may result in damage.
Wiring the SSWiLM Keypad to a 232 Access Control Module
The connection between the SSWiLM Keypad and the 232 Controller requires a 4-conductor, stranded wire with overall
foil shield. The 8-conductor wire harness from the keypad connects to connector P6 on the controller. Connect the wires,
color to color (red to red, black to black, white/black to white/black and white/yellow to white/yellow). Refer to the wire
lengths on the first page. As mentioned above, the drain wire must be attached to Ground on the controller side, which is
the V- terminal or negative of your power supply.

Wiring the Bell Output to a Speaker:
The SSWiLM keypad has a built in bell button, which triggers a relay output when pressed. This relay is normally open
and the contact closes when triggered. You can use this relay output to trigger devices that require a momentary closure,
such as a doorbell. The relay output provides a dry contact, but you can run up to 24 VDC or 125 VAC through it for
devices that require power to operate. The diagram below shows these connections.
Keypad Mounting Height
Mounting height can vary depending on requirements. An appropriate range is typically between 48 and 52 inches on
center off the floor.

Replacing the 232m (discontinued) with an 232iLM
The 232iLM is functionally equivalent to the 232m keypad, which was discontinued. It’s not, however, a direct physical
replacement. They are both two piece units, but they use a different control boards. It is not possible to replace just the
mullion keypad portion of the unit. You must replace the entire unit. Refer to the previous sections for wiring your new
232iLM unit.
Program Mode Loopback
If you’ve forgotten the local program code use the following loopback connection to enter program mode. Power down
the unit, short the wires in the configuration illustrated, then power the unit back up. The yellow LED should be flashing.
Now change your local program code or reset the unit. Power the keypad down and reconnected the wire harness in the
original configuration.
