1.2 Product Description and Naming Convention
IEI keypads and other standalone devices use an alpha-numeric
model number convention to identify functionality and style. The
numeric component identifies functionality. The alpha component
identifies style.
Examples:
1.2.1 Functionality
The 242 keypad features the most flexibility and options available
in a self-contained unit. It can perform access control functions,
and also its four relay outputs can be assigned independently for
timed operation or to latch. The 242 keypad can provide individual
control of up to four devices, and is perfect for controlling electronic locking devices, security systems, CCTV systems, automatic
operators, or machinery.
The 212 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 212 keypad provides basic keyless entry by controlling a door locking device where security
is not an issue.
All keypads: 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. Installation is easy. All keypads mount to any
standard single-gang electrical box or directly to any wall.
NOTE: This manual covers both 212 and 242 models. All features referring to the additional relays and outputs are
available only on the 242 model.

NOTE:Thissectionappliestothe 212e and 242e keypads only.
The 212eM and 242eM keypads are not U.L. Listed.
The 212e/242e keypad is a U.L. Listed access control unit. This section contains information regarding all the requirements necessary
to meet U.L. requirements.
This system must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical code (NFPA70), local codes, and the authorities having jurisdiction. In addition, a ll wires and cables used must be stranded
andshieldedU.L.Listedand/orrecognizedwire.
All interconnecting devices (that is, door contacts, REX, locking devices, etc.) must be U.L. Listed. A U.L. Listed access control power
limited power supply must be used to power the keypad.
A minimum of three user codes must be programmed into the keypad for controlling access.
3.1 Tamper Requirements
To meet U.L. requirements, a U.L. Listed tamper switch must 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 failsecure device, meaning the lock remains locked when power is removed. In addition, o nce 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 d iagrams on the next page show the suggested mounting location for each device.
The keypad is designed to be flush mounted using a standard single-gang 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,usetheanti-oxidantgreasepackforthewireharnessconnectors.
