Keypad Installation Procedure:
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.
2. Wire the keypad using the diagrams in the following sections.
3. Mount the KP212 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.
48 - 52”
Wiring an Electromagnetic Lock (Maglock)
1. Connect the red (V+) and black (V-) wires to your power supply.
2. Connect the blue wire (relay common) to positive on your power supply.
3. Connect the white/yellow wire (relay normally closed) to the positive connection on your maglock.
4. Connect negative connection on your maglock to the negative on the power supply.

3
Basic Access Control Using an Electric Door Strike
1. Connect the red (V+) and black (V-) wires to your power supply.
2. Connect the blue wire (relay common) to positive on your power supply.
3. Connect the brown wire (relay normally open) to the positive connection on your door strike.
4. Connect negative connection on your door strike to the negative on the power supply.
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.

4
Wiring a Request to Exit Device (REX)
The KP212 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 KP212 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 30VAC/DC through it for devices that require power to operate. The diagram below shows these
connections.

Notes:
1. The KP212 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 KP212 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 KP212 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 IEI,
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 IEI’s techinal support department at 1-800-343-9502 (outside MA) or 1-800-733-9502 (inside MA).
Testing the Keypad
After installing the keypad, IEI recommends 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 master code use the following loopback connection to enter program mode. Power down the unit, short the white/black
wire to the red wire, then power the unit back up. The yellow LED should be flashing. Now change your master code or reset the unit. Power
the keypad down and reconnected the wire harness in the original configuration.
