The JA-80F wireless keypad

The JA-80F 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 battery­powered keypad communicates wirelessly using Oasis protocol.

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 the main entrance door. Avoid locating it close to metal
objects which could shield radio communication.

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. Install the external hard-wired detector (if required) and route its
cable through the rear housing

4. Enroll the keypad to the control panel (see the control panel
installation manual) as follows:

• Enter enrollment mode in the control panel (if the system does

not have a keypad already, briefly short the reset link on the
control panel main board, or if a keypad is present, then press
key 1 in service mode).

• Install the battery into the keypad to trigger enrollment.

• Exit enrollment mode by pressing the # key.

5. Connect the inter-housing cable to the board. If a door detector
and an external AC adaptor are used, then connect their cables too.
Attach the keypad to the rear housing.

6. Instructions on how to use the keypad can be found in the control
panel operating manual.

Installing a door detector

It is possible to wire up a detector(s) to the keypad. 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 linked to the
keypad‘s address. If desired, another reaction can be programmed in the
control panel. The IN input can indicate a door being permanently open
(status reaction). If the IN input is never used then it must be shorted to GND.

turning itself off when the cover is closed or automatically after 20 seconds of
inactivity (15 minutes in service mode). The keypad is woken up by: opening
the keypad‘s flip cover, pressing any key, or triggering the wired door detector.

Recommendation: install the keypad with the door detector wired to its
IN terminal. The door detector will always turn the keypad on when the door

is opened and the keypad can also indicate the entrance delay and be ready
to read access cards. You will also save money on a wireless door detector.

Note: If the keypad unit is powered by an AC adaptor there is no sleep mode,
but 3 minutes after setting the system, status indication stops. If desired, the
system setting/unsetting status can be programmed in the control panel to be
permanently indicate by the keypad.

Optional AC adapter

If the keypad is powered by an AC adapter (model: Jablotron DE01-12 for
terminals: +U and GND), it will not turn off after 20 seconds of inactivity. If
the adapter is used, batteries should still be installed. Only turn on the AC
adapter after the keypad unit has been powered up by batteries and the
two halves of the housing are back together.

Keypad menu – language selection and door bell function

If the ∗ key is kept pressed during battery connection 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).

Notes:

• The menu can be displayed even if the keypad has not been enrolled to

the control panel.

Note: The lifetime of
the battery is reduced
proportionally to how
frequently the door
detector is triggered
and how often and how
long the keypad is
battery-powered.

Keypad sleep mode

When battery-powered, the
keypad saves energy by

• If you wish to display the menu on a keypad which already has its
battery installed, disconnect and reconnect the batteries first.

• 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).

Testing keypad communication

In service mode, the control panel allows the keypad’s radio signal to be
checked, including signal strength measurement. To test the keypad
signal, trigger either its IN input or its tamper sensor.

Note: the control panel measures the strength of the signal transmitted
by the keypad. It is impossible to measure the signal strength received by
the keypad from the control panel. If the keypad has lost communication
with the control panel (e.g. if the control panel is damaged) it would
display a communication error. If you re-power a control panel which
previously worked with a keypad, and the keypad does not function, then
we recommend disconnecting and re-connecting the keypad batteries.

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 while servicing the system. During
normal use of the system 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.

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 (with its batteries installed) has to be connected
to the Oasis system‘s digital bus (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).

Battery replacement

The system checks the battery status and if discharged it will inform the
end user or the installer. The keypad will continue to work but will also
indicate a low battery. Batteries should be replaced within 2 weeks by a
qualified technician in service mode.

Do not put expired batteries in the garbage, but follow local regulations..

Removing the keypad from the system

If the keypad is removed from the system, the control panel indicates this
event. If you want to uninstall the keypad, it must also be erased in the
control panel.
