Wireless keypad JA-60F

 

 

 

 

 

The JA-60F is an optional wireless keypad for the JA-60 or JA-65 series 

wireless control panel. It can operate the system in exactly the same way as 
the built-in keypad on the control panel and as the hard wired bus system 
keypad, JA-60E. The LED indicators, display and built-in buzzer indicate the 
alarm system’s status. 

Multiple keypads and RC-11 or RC-4x remote controllers can be used with a 

control panel (max. 8 totally). The keypad has a built in tamper sensor and it 
also checks the number of attempts to enter an access code (5 unsuccessful 
attempts will trigger a tamper alarm).  

The keypad makes regular auto testing and reports its conditions regularly to 

the system for full supervision.     

The JA-60F keypad can be used for control panel programming as well. 

Being wireless, it can help an installer to monitor the system functions when 
performing a “walk” test. 

 Installation

 

Select the desired keypad location close to the entrance. The keypad needs 

a good quality, two ways radio communication with the control panel. 
Under optimal conditions (open area, no interference) the working range 
is about 80 meters. Indoors the distance of the keypad from the control 
panel should not exceed 20 meters.
 Any radio communication obstructions 
or interference can reduce working distance. Test the JA-60F function, before 
you attach it to the desired location.  

1.  Open the keypad by pressing on the internal tab on the right side (using a 

screwdriver) 

2.  Select the enrolling mode on the control panel (see the control panel 

installation manual) and then connect batteries into the keypad 

3.  The keypad will automatically enroll to the system.  
4.  Exit the enrolling mode on the control panel and test the keypad function 

from the desired location 

5.  Mount the rear housing to the place (the internal tab should be on the right 

hand side) 

6.  Reattach the front panel by placing the left side to the rear part and then 

push the right side against the wall (the tab will click)  

Optional power supply by an adapter: 

If you want the JA-60F keypad to indicate the system status permanently, it 

should be powered by an external power adapter with the output voltage of 12 
VDC (stabilized). We recommend use of model DE 01-12 (Jablotron) power 
supply. 

Connect the +12 V and GND adapter outlet to the keypad terminals first. 

Then insert batteries in order to enroll the keypad to the control panel. After 
enrollment, plug the adapter into the power socket. Batteries will backup the 
keypad's power when the main power fails. Do not use rechargeable batteries! 

Optional external antenna 

External antenna AN-01A can be used in order to increase the working dis-

tance. The external antenna should be connected to the antenna connector in 
the JA-60F. Whenever you use this antenna disconnect the jumper located 
next to it. Follow the antenna’s manual instructions when installing the an-
tenna. 

 Operation  

The keypad can operate and program the system exactly the same way as 

the built-in keypad on the control panel.  

Functions F1 through F0 can be used on the JA-60F as described in the  

JA-60 control panel manual. Beside this, there are 4 extra keys, which have 
the following functions (when pressed for 0.2 seconds or more): 

 

 

Setting (Arming)

  

(equal to F1 entry) 

 

Door opening  

(equal to F3 entry) 

Partial setting  

(equal to F2 entry) 

 

Panic 

(access under duress)

 

(equal to F7, before access 
code entry) 

 

Programming of the control panel is only possible with the installer code. It is 

recommended to use the control panel's built in keypad, or the JA-60E wired 
keypad for programming.  

 

Backlight of the keys

 and displays switches on after the JA-60F cover is 

opened or any key is pressed. It goes off automatically if there is no other entry 
within 10 seconds. This feature prolongs the lifetime of the batteries. If an 
acoustic indication of the entrance delay has been selected in the control 
panel, the JA-60F indicates it after being activated (e.g. opening the cover or 
pressing any key on the JA-60F). 

 

The meaning of symbols on the keypad LED indicators: 

 

 

Alarm 

 

Power supply 

 

Tamper 

 

Set (Armed) 

 

Fault 

 

Battery 

 

Wireless communication indication 

If the JA-60F is powered by an adapter, all the indications will be shown  

regardless of activation.  

Testing of the system with a JA-60F keypad 

When installing and testing the system you can use the JA-60F keypad as a 
portable control panel terminal. 

When the keypad is not attached (the tamper switch is open), The JA-60F 

permanently copies the control panel’s indicators. This way, after switching the 
control panel to the programming mode you can pass through the premises 
with the keypad in hands and test all installed components, seeing an exact 
copy of the control panel’s reactions. 

 

 Battery testing and replacement 

The keypad checks the conditions of its batteries automatically. If it is  

necessary to replace the batteries, the keypad will indicate this situation. If a 
low battery is indicated, it should be replaced as soon as possible (in a week). 

Before the batteries are replaced, the control panel must be put into a mode 

which allows for the opening of the keypad (

U

ser or 

P

rogramming mode). 

Use only high quality alkaline AAA batteries for replacement. After the  

correct installation of the new batteries, the keypad will sound for a short while.
