The diagram above shows how to connect 
two keypads to control a single door.  
Entering your code on keypad 2 unlocks the 
maglock directly. When you enter your code 
on keypad 1, it triggers the REX input of 
keypad two, which unlocks the door 
Please note that user codes must be 
rogrammed into both keypads

TECHNICAL NOTES 
This product was re-designed using a new 
manufacturing technology, which changed the 
physical appearance of the keypad electronics. The 
LED’s changed to surface mount chip LED’s mounted 
on bottom of the circuit board which eliminates the 
need for the wire harnesses. It is also possible to 
control the red and green chip LED’s externally, with 
an alarm panel for example, by using connector J1.  
See the diagram for details. Also, the voltage 
selection jumper on the main circuit board is no 
longer required. 
To prevent electrical kick back voltage from damaging the 
keypad, when using an electrical locking device, you 
MUST install the transorb as close as possible to the lock.  
Wire the transorb in parallel with the lock power terminals. 
Also, to avoid ESD (electro-static discharge) from 
interfering with the operation of the keypad, ground the 
negative terminal of the keypad to earth ground. If you 
cannot ground the power supply, then you must ground 
the keypad housing. 
IEI recommends using a filtered and regulated power 
supply

To control the LED’s externally cut the four 
traces in the box underneath connector J1.  
Before connecting the alarm panel’s LED 
control lines to J1 verify the traces are cut. To 
verify, measure continuity between the end of 
the wire on the wire harness and the square 
pad on the circuit board below the box 
corresponding to the wire you’re measuring. 
Permanent damage to the keypad may 
result if voltage is connected to J1 when 
the traces are not cut.
