Ajax outdoor keypad - KeyPad Outdoor

Outdoor wireless control panel for security and automation management

The keypad is designed for outdoor use and allows users to control the alarm system's security state and automation functions without having to enter the building. It is suitable for gates, driveways, commercial entrances, storage areas and other locations where easy and secure operation in all weather is important.

The unit is battery-powered and communicates wirelessly with the alarm system's hub, so installation does not require cabling.

Authentication methods – multiple security options

The keypad supports several ways to authenticate users, so you can choose the most convenient or secure method for your needs:

• Personal PIN codes (general and individual) for quick access
• Contactless cards or keyfobs (e.g., DESFire® technology) without entering a code
• Smartphone authentication via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for easy access without physical devices

Each method can be configured individually per user, and the keypad can handle multiple PINs and devices depending on the hub configuration. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Operating functions – three operating modes

The keypad can be configured for several functions in the system, depending on what you want to use it for:

• Security control – Arming and disarming the entire system or selected groups, including Arm/Night mode
• Automation control – Control of one or more automation devices such as garage doors, relays or lights
• Start of entry delay – Use the keypad as a “bypass” to start an entry delay before the main keypad is used

You can set up **primary and secondary function** on the device, and switch between them by long-pressing the OK button. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Robust design and weather protection

The unit is built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, so it operates reliably even in rain, frost, heat and physical impact:

• IP66-rated enclosure against dust and water
• IK08 protection against physical impact
• Large mechanical buttons with backlight – easy to operate, even with gloves
• Durable symbols that do not wear off with repeated use

The rugged enclosure ensures reliable operation year-round without the need for protective housings. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

LED and sound feedback

The keypad provides intuitive feedback for every action, so you always know if input, alarm state or automation command has been registered:

• LED indicators for security state, automation status and functions
• Built-in buzzer with sound signals for alarms and system changes
• Option to customize LED and sound via the app

Feedback makes the keypad easy to use in the dark, when busy or in noisy environments. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Wireless communication and installation

The unit communicates with the alarm system's hub via the AJAX Jeweller protocol, which provides:

• Stable and encrypted wireless connection over long range
• High operational reliability without cables
• Easy mounting with SmartBracket panel and soft spacers for screw fastening

The wireless operation and battery power make the device ideal for locations with limited access to power and where running cables is impractical. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
