The JA-80E hard-wired keypad

The JA-80E is a component of Jablotron’s Oasis 80 alarm system and is
designed to control and program the system. It has a built-in proximity
access card reader and allows the wiring up of a separate door detector.
The keypad should be wired to the control panel.

Installation

Installation shall only be undertaken by technicians holding a certificate
issued by an authorized distributor. The keypad is for indoor installation
only, typically by a main entrance door.

1. Open the keypad housing (by pressing the tab on the bottom)
and disconnect the inter-housing connection cable inside (by
pulling the connector from the board).

2. Install the rear housing to the desired location.

3. Connect the control panel bus cable. There are two
possibilities:

• Use a flat telephone cable with RJ connectors (max. 10 metres).
There is a digital bus connector in the control panel, and in the
keypad too.

• Use a twisted-pair cable (max. 100m) – the correspondingly marked
terminals in the keypad unit and in the control panel should be
connected together via the cable (GND, A, B, +U)

4. Install the external door detector (if required) and connect its
cable to the IN and GND terminals.

5. Connect the inter-housing cable to the keypad board. Attach
the keypad to the rear housing.

6. Keypad operating instructions are found in the control panel
manual.

however possible to program permanent indication via the control panel, if
considered appropriate.

Installing a door detector

It is possible to wire up a detector(s) to the keypad via the IN input. The IN
input terminal is triggered when disconnected from GND. The control panel’s
natural reaction to the IN input being triggered is a delayed intruder alarm
(unchangeable reaction).

Notes:

• If the IN input is not used, connect it to GND.

• The IN input only reports to the control panel at the moment of being

triggered (a so-called pulse reaction, which means that the keypad cannot
signal permanently open doors).

Keypad menu – language selection and door bell function

If the ∗ key is kept pressed while is being powered-up the internal keypad
menu will be displayed allowing the selection of the desired language. Using
the arrows choose your language and confirm selection by the ∗ key.

In this menu the door bell function can also be enabled or disabled (if
enabled the keypad makes a sound when its IN input is triggered).

To exit the menu, press # (exiting also occurs after 10 seconds’ inactivity).

Notes:

• The keypad power can be switched on by connecting the bus cable or
by switching on the control panel power.

• Each keypad has its own menu, i.e. each keypad in the system can
have its own unique settings.

• The keypad keeps its settings even if its power is disconnected (settings
can only be altered via the keypad menu).

Three minute time-out of displaying the alarm status

To comply with EN standards the keypad does not indicate the status of
the alarm system while the system is set (armed). Indication only returns
when the keypad is operated or an entrance delay is triggered. It is

Disabling the tamper sensor

To disable the tamper sensor, short out the jumper in the keypad unit close to
the tamper sensor (equipped with a spring). This is useful when carrying the
keypad unit around with a long cable while servicing the system. During
normal system use this jumper must remain open circuited

Keypad text editing

There are two kinds of text: device and code names (displayed on the
second line after the address number), and other system text.

The names can be edited via the keypad after pressing and holding the
? key in service mode – see the control panel installation manual. The
edited text is only stored in the keypad unit used for editing. If you use a
PC to set the texts, you will set the texts in all keypads.

The most convenient way to edit text is to use a PC running Comlink
software (via the Devices window). To transfer edited text from a PC to
the keypad, the keypad has to be connected to the Oasis system‘s digital
bus as normal (i.e. one cable from the keypad to the control panel, and
another cable from the control panel to the PC). If there are multiple
keypads, they can all be connected together (via the digital bus) while
transferring edited text from the PC, or you can transfer text to each
keypad, one at a time. We recommend using a digital bus splitter (model
BS-84). Comlink software also allows editing of the keypad’s system text
(see the menus: Setting/Keypad Text).
