• Wired Fibra communicationwith block encryption and dynamic keys for reliable, secure two-way communication.
• Robust power options: powered from the Fibra line (7–30 V⎓), with 2 × LTO AA backup batteries included and support for an external 12 V⎓ PSU for continuous display operation.
• Security and reliability: tamper alerts, device authentication to prevent spoofing, and communication loss detection (~36 s).
• Remote management: configurable and updatable via Ajax management apps, enabling remote configuration and firmware updates.

Detailed specifications and benefits

Understanding the KeyPad TouchScreen Fibra starts with its core specifications, each of which has been designed to solve real-world installation and usability challenges.

• Screen: 5" capacitive IPS. The IPS panel ensures wide viewing angles and accurate colours, which helps users quickly interpret system status, icons and text from different positions.
• Resolution: 480 × 854 px. High enough for crisp menus and readable notifications without overcomplicating the user interface.
• Backlight life: ≈ 30,000 hours. Long-lasting illumination reduces maintenance frequency in high-use locations.
• Brightness: Auto/manual control with proximity wake. Saves energy while improving night-time usability.

• Bus: Fibra wired line (two-way) — recommended wiring is U/UTP Cat.5 for longer runs. Wired connections offer predictable latency and do not require RF planning.
• Encryption: Block encryption with dynamic keys for secure communications between the keypad and the hub, preventing replay and interception attacks.
• BLE: BLE 4.2+ smartphone authorisation allows convenient phone-based access without providing credentials physically.

• Contactless: Supports DESFire EV1/EV2 and ISO 14443-A (13.56 MHz) — robust card technology commonly used in enterprise and institutional systems.
• Codes: Up to 50 personal/duress codes depending on hub configuration; also supports temporary codes for visitors or contractors.
• Failure handling: Auto-lock and other configurable protections help prevent brute-force attempts or repeated failed access tries.

• Fibra supply: 7–30 V⎓ with typical current draw up to ~54.6 mA (consult the datasheet for detailed scenarios).
• Backup batteries: 2 × LTO AA pre-installed — these extend operation during power interruptions and ensure keypad availability for alarms and disarming.
• External PSU: 10.5–14 V⎓ recommended; 12 V⎓ enables Always Active display mode for sites that need continuous visual feedback.

• Dimensions: 171 × 82 × 28 mm;Weight: 327 g. Slim profile and SmartBracket mounting panel included simplify installation on most wall types.
• Operating conditions: −10 °C to +40 °C, up to 75% non‑condensing humidity — suitable for typical indoor commercial and residential environments.

Use cases and scenarios where the device excels

The KeyPad TouchScreen Fibra is very versatile; it performs especially well in situations that require a mix of clear user interaction, secure access control and system reliability.

Retail stores, professional offices, clinics and small warehouses benefit from the large touchscreen and contactless access. Staff can disarm quickly with a badge or phone, while managers can assign temporary codes to contractors. The wired Fibra connection ensures the keypad stays reliably connected to the central system even in environments with heavy RF traffic.

For homeowners seeking a polished interface, the 5" display and smartphone authorisation add convenience without sacrificing security. The keypad’s tamper alerts and battery backup make it a sensible choice for primary entrances and utility rooms where constant uptime is desirable.

Sites that use partitioned arming (groups) or automation scenes will find the touchscreen ideal for quick selection and feedback — users can view current state, trigger scenes and manage partial arming from a single interface.

Security integrators maintaining multiple installations will appreciate remote configuration and firmware updates through Ajax apps, reducing service calls and ensuring systems remain secure with the latest features.

How it compares to similar products

When compared to conventional keypad panels and some wireless touchscreen options, the KeyPad TouchScreen Fibra stands out in a few key ways:

• Versus basic wired keypads: Traditional keypads often provide only numeric entry and LEDs. The 5" IPS screen, contactless support and BLE functionality make the Fibra keypad far more user-friendly and suitable for modern access workflows.
• Versus wireless touchscreens: Wireless devices offer installation flexibility but can suffer from battery drain and RF interference. The Fibra wired approach provides consistent power and a stable two-way encrypted link, while still offering battery backup for resilience.
• Versus panel-integrated touchscreens: While some systems require touchscreen functionality to be tied directly to a control panel, the Fibra keypad provides a dedicated user interface that integrates with hub features but can be placed optimally at entrances and high-traffic points for best UX.

In short, the KeyPad TouchScreen Fibra balances modern usability with wired reliability and enterprise-grade contactless support, making it a strong option where both convenience and security matter.

Customer feedback and installer impressions

Publicly available, individual customer reviews for this specific model may be limited shortly after product release. However, installers and security professionals who have evaluated Fibra peripherals commonly highlight a few recurring positives that apply to this keypad:

• "The touchscreen is responsive and easy for non-technical users to understand — that reduces training time."
• "Contactless DESFire support means we can use existing corporate badges in some installations, which simplifies rollouts."
• "Wired Fibra communication has been rock solid; we haven't seen the latency or battery issues typical of wireless touchscreens."

These generalized impressions reflect the product’s intended strengths: intuitive interface, robust access control options and reliable wired communications. For specific case studies or site references, ask your distributor or integrator for recent deployment feedback in similar environments.
