AJX-KP-TS

Overview

The Ajax wireless keypad with touchscreen is designed to centralize security and smart home control in a single, intuitive interface. Built with a 5 inch IPS display and responsive capacitive touch, it delivers a modern user experience similar to a smartphone app. With support for Bluetooth authentication, DESFire contactless credentials, and secure access codes, it provides flexible control for both residential and commercial environments. Reliable communication via Ajax Jeweller and Wings protocols ensures stable connectivity with a hub at distances of up to 1700 meters in open space, while built in safeguards such as tamper alerts and encryption maintain system integrity.

Description

The Ajax KeyPad TouchScreen combines advanced security management with smart automation control through a sleek, wall mounted interface. It allows users to arm or disarm systems, manage multiple groups, and operate connected devices using a responsive touch display, smartphone authentication, or secure access credentials. With long battery life, optional external power, and encrypted wireless communication, it is engineered for dependable everyday operation in homes, offices, and larger facilities.

Features

Smart Control for Security and Automation
This keypad goes beyond basic arming and disarming. It enables full system interaction, including control of automation devices and quick access to predefined scenarios. Users can switch between groups, activate night mode, or manage the entire system from a single screen. The interface supports multiple languages and customizable themes, improving usability across different environments.

Security management is simplified through real time status visibility. Each group's condition is displayed clearly, allowing immediate adjustments without navigating complex menus.

Flexible Access and Authentication Options
The system supports multiple authentication methods to accommodate different user requirements. These include smartphone control through Bluetooth, contactless cards or key fobs, and traditional access codes.

Key access capabilities include:

• Smartphone control via Ajax app with BLE support
• DESFire based Pass cards and Tag key fobs
• Personal and duress access codes for enhanced safety
• Up to 99 codes for unregistered users such as staff or contractors

If a duress code is entered, the system simulates disarming while silently alerting the monitoring service, adding an additional layer of protection in emergency situations.

Responsive Display and User Interaction
The 5 inch IPS touchscreen offers a clear and responsive interface with automatic brightness adjustment based on ambient light. A proximity sensor activates the display when a user approaches, reducing unnecessary power consumption.

Display and interaction highlights:

• Resolution of 480 x 854 pixels
• Capacitive touch for smooth navigation
• Scratch resistant glass surface
• Automatic and manual brightness control

Audible notifications provide clear alerts for alarms, entry delays, and system events, ensuring users remain informed even without direct screen interaction.

Reliable Wireless Communication
The keypad leverages Ajax proprietary radio technologies to maintain secure and stable communication with the hub.

Core communication characteristics:

• Jeweller protocol for commands and alarms
• Wings protocol for data transmission and updates
• Encrypted two way communication with dynamic key protection
• Radio range up to 1700 meters in open environments
• Frequency hopping to prevent interference and jamming

These technologies ensure consistent performance even in complex installations, including those with structural obstacles.

Power Options and Operational Stability
The device is designed for uninterrupted operation with dual power capabilities. It runs on pre installed AA batteries while also supporting an external 12 V power supply for extended use.

Power related details:

• Up to 1.5 years battery life under typical usage
• Six AA batteries included
• External power support with battery backup
• Low battery notifications via the system

This dual approach ensures continued functionality even during power interruptions.

Built in Safety and Protection Mechanisms
Security is reinforced through multiple protective measures that guard against tampering, unauthorized access, and signal interference.

Protection mechanisms include:

• Tamper alarm triggered by removal or interference
• Automatic lock after repeated incorrect code attempts
• Device authentication to prevent spoofing
• Full data encryption for stored and transmitted information

These features ensure that both physical and digital threats are mitigated effectively.

Installation and System Integration
Installation is streamlined with the SmartBracket mounting panel, allowing quick setup without disassembling the device. Pairing with the system is completed by scanning a QR code, reducing configuration time.

The keypad integrates seamlessly with compatible Ajax hubs and can be expanded using range extenders for larger installations, making it suitable for multi zone properties, offices, and industrial environments.
