EN1212 Family Dual Input Universal 

Installation Instructions

1 Overview

The dual input universal is designed to be used with any 

standard contact or sensor. Inovonics multi-function add-on 

receivers will support both inputs as separate devices.

The dual input universal is available in North America, Australia 

and New Zealand; the radio frequency band has been 

configured for the appropriate geographic area at the factory.

The dual input universal is available in the following 

configurations:

Note: 

The dual input universal requires use of a serial receiver 

or network coordinator, as well as an application designed to 

support advanced functionality.

Note: 

For UL 2560 installations, refer to the 

EN6080 Area

2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Installation Notes

• These products are designed to be installed and maintained 

by professional security technicians.

• Products are intended for indoor use.

• Manually test all products weekly.

2.2 Install/Replace the Battery

1.

Pry the top lip of the mounting bracket up, and lift the bracket 

off of the transmitter.

2.

Use your thumb to depress the housing release tab on the 

bottom of the transmitter; separate the housing.

3.

Install the battery.

4.

Press the reset button to initialize the transmitter.

2.3 Connect Input Wiring

The transmitter has a three-terminal contact block that can 

connect inputs from one or two external contact loops. The 

middle terminal is a ground, which is shared by both contact 

loops. Input one can be configured for either a normally open or 

a normally closed contact loop using the NO/NC selection pins; 

input two is always normally closed.

1.

Connect wiring for the inputs you will be using.

2.

If you are not using input two, connect wiring between the 

input terminal and the ground terminal to set it for normally 

closed.

2.4 Select Input Type

The N/O-N/C selection pins allow the choice of a normally open 

or normally closed state for the contact circuit wired to the input 

one terminal.

The terminal is shipped set for normally closed, with no selection 

jumper on the N/O selections pins.

1.

Place a selection jumper on the selection pins to select 

normally open; remove the selection jumper from the 

selection pins to select normally closed.

2.

Press the reset button to complete configuration.

2.5 Register the Dual Input Universal 

Transmitters must be registered with the system in order to be 

monitored and supervised. When supervised, the transmitter will 

send a check-in message to the receiver. EN1212 transmitters 

send a check-in message every three minutes; EN1212-60 

transmitters send a check-in message every 60 minutes. Each 

transmitter has a unique factory-programmed identification 

number.

Note: 

For UL 2560 installations, transmitters must have a 

minimum check-in time of 60 minutes.
Refer to the receiver installation instructions for details about 

registering a transmitter.

1.

When prompted by the receiver to reset transmitter, press 

the reset button.

2.

Replace the cover.

Caution: 

The dual input universal should be tested after 

registration to ensure operation. To test the transmitter, activate 

each of the conditions and ensure an appropriate response.
