212iLM 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. Refer to mounting height below.
Step 2: Wire the keypad using the diagrams in the following sections.
Step 3: Mount the 2121iLM keypad onto the mounting surface using the provided screws. Do no over-tighten the screws,
which may result in damage.
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.

Shunting a Normally Closed Zone
1. Connect the red (V+) and black (V-) wires to your power supply.
2. Connect the blue wire (relay common) to the common connection on the alarm contacts.
3. Connect the brown wire (relay normally open) to the normally open connection on the alarm contacts.
Wiring a Request to Exit Device (REX)
The 212iLM is equipped with a REX input. The normally open REX input triggers the main relay for the amount of time you
programmed for the master code. If the master code is set to toggle, the REX only triggers the relay for 5 seconds. There
is no programming required for the REX to operate.
1. Connect the red (V+) and black (V-) wires to your power supply.
2. Connect the common connection on the REX device to the negative on your power supply.
3. Connect the white/black wire to the normally open connection on the REX device.

Wiring the Bell Output to a Speaker:
The 212iLM 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 30 volts AC/DC through it for devices that
require power to operate. The diagram below shows these connections.

Notes:
1. The 212iLM can store 120 user codes, including the master code. Codes can be from 1 to 6 digits long.
2. When auto-entry is enabled, users with codes the same length as the master code do not have to press the ✱
key after entering their code to enter the door.
3. When keypad dimming is disabled the backlighting remains at full intensity (does not dim).
4. When the door bell output is set to continuous the relay is energized as long the door button is pressed. When
you release the button the relay de-energizes.

Troubleshooting
Issue Explanation Solution
LED’s cycling slowly from right to
left.
The 212iLM Mullion is designed to
monitor for low voltage. Once low
voltage is detected, the keypad
turns off the backlighting to ensure
operation of the keypad until the
problem can be attended to.
Verify the power supply output
voltage. If it is below the voltage
threshold of 7.5 Volts AC or 9 Volts
DC, you must increase the voltage
to between 12-24 Volts.
LED’s cycling rapidly from left to
right and the keypad has lost all
operation.
The 212iLM Mullion is designed
to monitor for over voltage. This
is a very “severe” condition and
significantly affects the keypad’s
operation. Once the over voltage is
detected, the keypad shuts down all
operation and does not operate until
the voltage is lowered.
Verify the power supply output
voltage. If it is over the voltage
threshold of 35 Volts, you must
lower the voltage below 29 Volts.
Can’t access programming mode
using the master code.
The code you are entering is likely
not the master code.
Perform the program mode
loopback in the following section to
enter program mode and reprogram
the master code.
No LED’s are lit on the keypad. Power is not reaching the keypad. First verify there is voltage at
the keypad. If not, verify there is
voltage at the power supply. If
there is voltage, verify continuity
on the wires out to the keypad.
Otherwise contact the power supply
manufacturer or Nortek Security &
Control if there is a problem with the
keypad. You also may try power the
keypad with a 12V battery to verify
operation.
DEALERS/INSTALLERS ONLY! End users must contact the dealer/installer for support. If the keypad still does not
work after troubleshooting, please call the Technical Services department at 1-800-421-1587.
Testing the Keypad
After installing the keypad, it is recommended that you perform the keypad self-test once a year, to ensure that the keypad
is working properly.
●To perform the self-test, with the unit powered up, press the following keys on the keypad: 7890 # 123456 ✱
●If all 12 key presses are accepted, the keypad enters self-test mode.
●The LEDs alternate three times followed by the sounder beeping three times.

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.
