1.2 Product Description
The 242iLW keypad features the most flexibility and options
available in a self-contained unit. It has an accessory relay board
that provides an additional three relays. It can perform access control
functions and also its four relay outputs can be assigned
independently for timed operation or to latch. The 242iLW keypad
can control up to four devices, and is perfect for controlling electronic
locking devices, security systems, CCTV systems, automatic
operators, or machinery.
The 212iLW keypad 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. Additionally, the 212iLW keypad
provides basic keyless entry by controlling a door locking device
where security is not an issue.
The 212iLW and 242iLW style keypads are designed for both indoor
and outdoor flush mount applications. The electronics for each
keypad are conformal coated in the manufacturing process in order
to provide this level of application flexibility. In addition, each keypad
uses hardened keys to assure long-term, high-quality performance.
Each keypad contains illuminated clear keys that make operation in
low light situations easy and accurate. Both iLW style keypads mount
to any standard single-gang electrical box or directly to any wall.
NOTE: This manual covers both the 212 and 242 model.
All features referring to the additional relays and outputs
are available only on the 242 model.

Installation/Programming Manual
3. Keypad Tampering
To prevent tampering, a tamper switch can be installed in the single
gang box used for mounting the keypad. The tamper switch must
activate if the keypad is removed from the box and must disconnect
power from the lock. The lock must be a fail-secure device, meaning
the lock remains locked when power is removed. In addition, once
the tamper device is activated, it must be configured so that it can
only be reset from within the protected area. Only a Sentrol 3012 or
Sentrol 3025T tamper switch can be used. The diagrams on the next
page show the suggested mounting location for each device.
3.1 IEI Tamper Power Supplies
IEI access system power supplies are designed specifically for
access control applications. Two models are available: board level
and in a cabinet. Both feature a tamper circuit with a reset button
mounted on the circuit board. Using the tamper switch as detailed
and connected to the power supply tamper circuit, unauthorized
opening of the case or prying the unit off thewall triggers this tamper
loop, thus preventing the lock from being released until the reset
button is pressed.
How to Order
• Access power supply with tamper circuit - in cabinet:
0291200
• Access power supply with tamper circuit - board level:
0291100
The keypad is designed to be flush mounted using a standard singlegang electrical box. In addition, it can be flush mounted directly to
the wall surface by cutting a hole in the wall. To properly size the
mounting and wire access hole, use the installation template on the
last page in this manual and on the unit’s container.
Mounting height can vary depending on requirements. An
appropriate 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 and provide a drain hole. In
addition, use the anti-oxidant grease pack for the wire harness
connectors.

Use the following steps to connect the keypad to a normally open
REX device and normally closed door switch:
1. Connect the brown wire (REX Input) to the normally open
connection on the REX device.
2. Connect the white/orange (loop common) to the common on the
REX device and the common on the door switch.
3. Connect the white wire (door loop) to the normally closed
connection on the door switch.
Figure 8 Wiring a REX Button and Door Contacts
NOTE: By default, the REX function operates the virtual lock output
only, but you can change this using command 49. In addition, the
door loop doesn’t need to be closed for the REX function to operate,
by default, but setting option 8 to 0 under command 30, programs
the REX function to operate only when the door loop is closed. This
prevents the REX from re-triggering when the door is open.
The accessory relay board contains physical outputs 2, 3, and 4
shown in the table below.

6. Testing the Keypad
After installing the keypad, IEI recommends that you perform the
keypad self-test once a year, 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.
(If the default is not working, refer to section 9.)
To enter program mode, press 99 # Master Code *. The yellow LED
must then start blinking slowing (if not verify the master code is
correct – refer to section 9). The default Master Code is 1234.
NOTE: If auto-entry is enabled, the * (asterisk) key is not used to
enter Program mode. To change the Master Code, enter:
1 # new Master Code * new Master Code *
(When finished press the * to exit program mode.)
Note: Refer to section 7.4 for adding user codes
7.1 Programming Order
To ensure that the keypad is programmed properly in the initial
installation, program the keypad in the following order:
• Step 1: Assigning Virtual Outputs to Physical Outputs
• Step 2: Programming Output Time Durations
• Step 3: Programming Users
• Step 4: Programming Keypad Options
7.2 Assigning Virtual Outputs to Physical Outputs
The keypad is equipped with both Virtual Outputs and Physical
Outputs. Virtual Outputs are functions that you can assign to
operate any Physical Output. Physical Outputs include the main
relay, the three relays on the aux relay board, and the two audio
alerts.
The 242 model has six physical outputs (four relays and two audio
alerts). The 212 model has three physical outputs (a main relay and
two audio alerts).
• Using command 10, you can assign any Virtual Output to
any Physical Output or disable a Physical Output.
• Each Physical Output can only have one Virtual Output
* The bi-color red/green LED only follows the lock output.
**On the 212 model, you can assign these to the audio alerts.
1 – Relay 1 (Main Relay)
Note: Audio alerts are described
in section 7.2.2
Defaults – The keypad comes
programmed with the following
default output assignments:
The Lock Output is assigned to
Relay 1, the Alarm Shunt Output
to Relay 2, the Propped Door
Output to Relay 3 and the Forced
Door Output to Relay 4.
7.2.1 Virtual Outputs
Virtual Outputs Description/Details
Lock This output is used for your locking device.
This is used to shunt out an existing alarm panel.
Alarm Shunt (242)
Propped Door
Document # 6050700, Rev. 1.1, D2d
It activates with the lock output and de-energizes
one second after the lock time expires.
This output activates after entering a valid user
code only if the door position switch is left open
longer than the programmed propped door time.
This output activates if the door position switch is
opened without entering a valid user code.
These four independently controlled outputs are
activated by user codes programmed to activate
multiple outputs and the REX function. See
programming commands 59 and 49 in the
Programming section.
The duress output is activated when a duress
user enters their code. See Duress User in the
Programming section.
Panic is activated by pressing the * and # keys at
the same time. This is used in case of
emergency to activate an auxiliary device and
should not be used to gain access.
The Keypad Active output is activated when any
key is pressed. Do not use this output to gain
access.
7.2.2 Audio Alerts
Audio Alerts are produced by the local sounder on the keypad and
can be used as a local propped door alarm or forced door alarm to
free up the relays for other functions.
• Alert #1 is a constant quick beep (¼ second on and ¼
second off).
• Alert #2 is a short beep (100 ms) every two seconds.
• Alert #1 takes priority over Alert #2.

Standard User
Activates the virtual lock output using the lock
duration programmed with command 11.
This user type locks out users in user locations
higher than the lockout user when the lockout
user code is entered. For example, if the lockout
user is programmed for user 20, any user in
location 21 to 120 is locked out and their codes
no longer work to gain access. A lockout is
removed by entering the same lockout code. If
another lockout code in another user location is
Lockout User
entered, the lockout user location level is set to
the new lockout user location. The master code
and emergency users can’t be locked out. The
current lockout is cleared when program mode is
entered. “Lockout activated” is indicated by two
double beeps. “Lockout canceled” is indicated by
one double beep. “Access denied due to lockout”
is indicated by 1 long beep followed by 3 short
beeps. “User lockout” can be enabled or
disabled with command 30.
This code can only be entered once to gain
access using the lock virtual output. Once used,
this code is no longer active. A single use code
Single Use Code
can be verified by entering 5 # code *. If the
code is a single use code, the green LED flashes
for ½ a second. An “invalid code” is indicated by
3 quick beeps.
This user type is a standard user that can not be
locked out by a lockout user.
Entering a duress code activates the lock and
Duress User
duress virtual outputs. This allows you to trigger
another device silently, such as an alarm, and
still gain access in case of an emergency.
When the two-part user option is enabled, two
codes are required to gain access. A “Two-Part
Type A” and “Two-Part Type B” user must enter
their code (not necessarily in that order). After
the first code is entered, the LED alternates
between red and green, indicating another code
Two-Part Users A
and B
is required. The second code must be entered
within 15 seconds of the first code. When two
codes of the same type are entered, a type
mismatch is indicated by 5 beeps. When TwoPart User is disabled, all Type A and B user
codes are converted to standard user codes.
Two-Part users activate the virtual lock output.
Two-Part Users can be enabled or disabled with
command 30.

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. If you have a code
greater than the master code, you can use Auto-Entry
Suspend. Just enter the # key prior to your code
followed by the * key.
Example: # 23456 * if the master code is four digits.
When enabled, the keypad keeps track of the number
of consecutive invalid codes entered, including
attempts to access program mode. When the
threshold is reached, the yellow LED turns on solid
and the keypad no longer responds to key presses for
the programmed time duration. The count is reset by
entering a valid code, including entering program
mode. The error lockout threshold and duration is
programmed with command 32.
Keypad backlighting can be enabled or disabled.
When enabled, the backlighting illumination level
decreases 15 seconds after the last key press. When

(inside MA).
voltage and this is an indication of under-voltage.
The under-voltage threshold is set to 8.5VDC,
and when the voltage drops below this limit, the
low voltage warning starts and backlighting is
turned off. To solve, raise the voltage to between
12-24V.
The keypad is designed to monitor the input
voltage, and this is an indication of over-voltage.
The over- voltage threshold is set to 36VDC, and
when the voltage rises above this limit, the overvoltage warning starts and the keypad loses all
operation. To solve, lower the voltage to between
12-24V.
Perform the programming mode loopback and
reset the master code using the programming
command.
Power is not reaching the keypad. Using a
voltmeter, confirm that there is voltage at the
keypad on the red and black wires. If there is no
voltage at the keypad, verify that there is voltage
at the power supply. If there is no voltage at the
power supply, call the manufacturer of the power
supply. If there is voltage at the power supply but
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 Master Code is either not working or forgotten, power down the
system, connect the wire harness as shown in Figure 12 below, and
then power the system up again. The unit should now be in program
mode. Next, change your Master Code using the programming
command and power down the system and restore the wire harness
to its original configuration and power the system back up.
