Operating principle
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller features a built-in buzzer, a touch display, and a reader for contactless authorization. The keypad can be used to change security modes and control automation devices, as well as to notify alert users to system alarms.
The keypad automatically adjusts the backlight brightness and wakes up upon approach. Sensitivity is adjustable in the app. The Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller interface resembles that of the Ajax Security System app. There are dark and light appearances to choose from. The 5-inch touch screen enables quick access to security modes of the entire system or specific groups, as well as to automation scenario control. The display also indicates system malfunctions when the system integrity check option is enabled.
The built-in buzzer of Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller provides audio alerts based on system settings, notifying users about:
- alarms;
- security mode changes;
- entry/exit delays;
- triggering of opening detectors.
The keypad operates on pre-installed batteries and can also be powered by a third-party power supply unit within a 10.5–14 V⎓ voltage range and a minimum operating current of 0.5 A. When external power is connected, the pre-installed batteries serve as a backup power source.
Security control
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller can be used to arm and disarm the entire system or specific groups and activate Night Mode. Use the Control tab to change the security mode. Users can authenticate into Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller via:
- Smartphones. Authentication is possible via the Ajax Security System app on smartphones that support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). BLE is a low-power radio protocol that enables smartphones to function as an alternative to Tag or Pass for user authentication. The keypad supports Android and iOS smartphones with BLE version 4.2 and later.
- Cards or key fobs. To quickly and securely identify users, Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller uses the DESFire® technology. DESFire® is based on the ISO 14443 international standard and combines 128-bit encryption and copy protection.
- Codes. Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller supports general keypad codes, personal user codes, and codes for unregistered users.
Access codes
- Keypad code is a general code assigned to the keypad. When used, all events appear in Ajax apps under the keypad’s name.
- User code is a personal code set up for users connected to the hub. When used, all events appear in Ajax apps under the respective user’s name.
- Keypad access code is a code created for an unregistered person. When used, events appear in Ajax apps under the name associated with this code.
- RRU code is a temporary access code for rapid response units (RRU), activated after the alarm for a specified duration. When the code is activated and used, events appear in Ajax apps under the title associated with this code.
The supported number of user codes, keypad access codes, and RRU codes depends on the hub model.
Access rights and codes can be managed directly in Ajax apps. If a code is compromised, it can be changed remotely without requiring an installer’s visit. If a user loses their Pass, Tag, or, smartphone, an admin or a PRO with system configuration rights can instantly block the lost device in an Ajax app. Meanwhile, the user can still control the system via a personal code.
Duress code
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller supports a duress code that allows users to discreetly send an alarm while appearing to disarm the system. When the duress code is entered, the system does not activate sirens or display any visible alerts in Ajax apps. However, a silent alarm is immediately transmitted to the security company and other security system users, notifying them of the emergency.
Security control of the groups
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller allows controlling the groups’ security when Group Mode is enabled. In the keypad settings, you can specify which groups will be displayed (keypad groups). By default, all groups are visible on the keypad display in the Control tab. You can learn more about group security management in this section.
If the Followed group feature is configured for groups, their security mode will automatically change depending on their settings and initiators’ states.
.
User pre-authorization
The pre-authorization feature is essential to prevent unauthorized access to the control panel and the current system state. The feature can be activated separately for the Control and Scenarios
tabs in the keypad settings.
When pre-authorization is activated for designated tabs, a code entry screen appears on them. Users must authenticate either by entering a code or presenting an access device to the keypad before performing any actions. An exception applies to the Alarm tab, which remains accessible to all users, allowing them to send an emergency signal without authentication.
Unauthorized access auto-lock
If an incorrect code is entered or an unverified access device is used three times within one minute, the keypad will lock for the duration specified in its settings. During this period, the hub ignores all code entries and access devices, while informing the security system users about the attempted unauthorized access. Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller turns off the reader and blocks access to all tabs. The keypad’s display shows a corresponding notification.
A PRO or a user with system configuration rights can unlock the keypad via the app before the specified lock time expires.
Two-stage arming
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller supports two-stage arming and can be used to initiate the process, but it cannot serve as a second-stage device. The two-stage arming procedure using Tag, Pass, or a smartphone works similarly to arming with a personal or general code entered on the keypad.
Emergency buttons
For emergencies, the keypad features the Panic tab with three buttons:
- Panic button;
- Fire;
- Auxiliary alert.
In an Ajax app, an admin or a PRO with system configuration rights can customize which buttons appear in the Panic tab. There are two available options in the Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller settings: only the Panic button (by default) or all three buttons. The text of in-app notifications and event codes transmitted to the Central Monitoring Station (CMS) depend on the selected button type.
You can also enable accidental press protection to prevent false alarms. When activated, the user must confirm the alarm transmission by pressing the Send button on the keypad display. The confirmation screen appears after any emergency button is pressed.
Pressing emergency buttons can trigger Alarm scenarios within an Ajax system.
Scenario management
The keypad features a dedicated Scenarios tab, which can hold up to six buttons that control one automation device or a group of devices. Group scenarios provide more convenient simultaneous control over multiple switches, relays, or sockets.
Create automation scenarios directly in the keypad settings and manage them using Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller.
Indication of malfunctions and security mode
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller informs users about system malfunctions and the current security mode via:
- Display — shows system status when active;
- Logo — lights up red continuously or only when the system or a group is armed, depending on the settings;
- Sound indication — the built-in buzzed signals alarms, opening doors, and entry/exit delays.
Acknowledgment of the latest events
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller displays up to 100 latest system events since the last check. Events are grouped and sorted by the date of their occurrence.
An event contains the following information:
- device name;
- action;
- room;
- actual time (HH:MM).
To enable the view of the latest events on the keypad:
- Open an Ajax app. Select a space with the added device.
- Go to the Devices
tab.
- Select Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller and go to its Settings by tapping on the gear icon
.
- Select the Keypad notification center section.
- Enable the Event acknowledgement section toggle.
- Tap Back to save the new settings.
To view the latest events on the keypad display:
- Go to the Control
tab.
- Tap the
icon to view a list of the latest events. The icon will have a red badge in the upper right corner if there are new events.
- Tap the Mark all as read button to clear the list of the latest events. Events will remain in the event feed in Ajax apps.
Marking all events as read clears the list of the latest events on the keypad currently in use. Other keypads added to the same hub will still display the latest events.
Fire alarm muting
In case of a fire alarm in the system, you can mute it using Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller.
Pressing the Fire emergency button in the Panic tab does not activate Interconnected Fire Detectors Alarm (if enabled). Instead, when an emergency signal is sent via the keypad, a corresponding notification is transmitted to Ajax apps and the CMS.
When the Mute fire alarm feature is enabled, all Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller devices in the system will display a screen with fire alarm information and a mute button. If the mute button has already been pressed on another keypad, a corresponding notification appears on the remaining Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller displays. Users can close the fire alarm muting screen and continue using other keypad features. To reopen the muting screen, simply tap the icon on the Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller display.
If the fire alarm is triggered by ManualCallPoint Jeweller, and CO or smoke levels are critical, the alarm cannot be muted via the keypad.
To instantly display the fire alarm muting screen on Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller, enable the Always active display toggle in the Display settings and connect an external power supply.
Otherwise, the muting screen will only be displayed when the keypad wakes up.
Superior Jeweller data transfer protocol
Superior Jeweller is an upgraded radio protocol for Superior devices, ensuring compliance with Grade 3 (EN 50131). It features advanced encryption and frequency hopping. Full frequency hopping is available only when all devices in the system use Superior Jeweller. If at least one device runs on the regular Jeweller protocol, the system will be limited to Grade 2: encryption remains, but hopping is disabled. Superior devices can also operate on the regular Jeweller protocol, depending on the hub.
Wings data transfer protocol
Wings is a proprietary wireless communication technology for transmitting large data packets. The device uses Wings to transmit photos and upload firmware updates.
Advanced encrypted communication
The communication between Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller and the hub is protected by an advanced encryption scheme that ensures data confidentiality and integrity. This means that all sensitive data in the message is encrypted, and each message includes a unique authentication tag allowing the system to check that the data has not been modified during transmission. The system can reliably detect tampering and reject forged or altered messages, providing robust protection against both passive and active attacks. This ensures secure communication between the device and hub, as well as reliable system and data protection.
Frequency hopping
To comply with the Grade 3 requirements, Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller uses frequency hopping for radio communication with the hub (or the radio signal range extender). With this method, the hub and devices added to it change their operating frequency according to a defined pattern. The hopping sequence covers a defined set of channels within the operating bands, and devices switch frequencies synchronously with the hub. Even if some channels are affected by jamming, messages can be transmitted successfully via other channels. Frequency hopping improves the system’s reliability and performance and ensures its resistance to intentional interference and jamming attempts.
Frequency hopping does not cause delays or pauses during radio communication and does not reduce the data transfer speed. If range extenders are added to the system, the frequency hopping is used for all radio communications: “device ↔ range extender” and “range extender ↔ hub”.
The system uses frequency hopping for radio communication only if all wireless devices support this method.
If at least one device added to the system does not support frequency hopping, the hub and all devices switch to the operating frequencies of that device and do not use frequency hopping for radio communication.
Sending events to the monitoring station
Ajax systems can transmit alarms to both Ajax PRO Desktop monitoring app and the central monitoring station (CMS) using SurGard (Contact ID), SIA (DC-09), ADEMCO 685, and other supported protocols.
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller can transmit the following events:
- Entry of the duress code.
- Pressing the panic button. Each button has its own event code.
- Keypad lock due to an unauthorized access attempt.
- Tamper alarm/recovery.
- Loss/restoration of connection with the hub or radio signal range extender.
- Arming/disarming the system.
- Unsuccessful arming attempt (if the system integrity check is enabled).
- Permanent deactivation/activation of the keypad.
- One-time deactivation/activation of the keypad.
When an alarm is received, the operator of the security company monitoring station knows what happened and precisely where to send a fast response team. The addressability of Ajax devices allows sending events to the Ajax PRO Desktop or the CMS, including the type of the device, its name, security group, and virtual room. The list of transmitted parameters may differ depending on the type of CMS and the selected communication protocol.
The device ID and number can be found in its states in an Ajax app.
Adding to the system
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller is not compatible with Hub (2G) Jeweller, Hub (4G) Jeweller, Hub Plus Jeweller, and third-party security control panels.
To connect Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller to the hub, the keypad must be located at the same secured facility as the system — within the range of the hub’s radio network. For the keypad to operate via the ReX 2 Jeweller radio signal range extender, you must first add the keypad to the hub and then connect it to ReX 2 Jeweller in the range extender’s settings.
The hub and the device must operate on the same radio frequency to be compatible. The device’s radio frequency range might vary depending on the region. We recommend purchasing and using Ajax devices within the same region. To confirm the supported frequency range, contact our technical support service.
Before adding a device
- Install the Ajax app.
- Log in to your account or create a new one.
- Select a space or create a new one.
The space functionality is available for apps of the following and later versions:
- Ajax Security System 3.0 for iOS;
- Ajax Security System 3.0 for Android;
- Ajax PRO: Tool for Engineers 2.0 for iOS;
- Ajax PRO: Tool for Engineers 2.0 for Android;
- Ajax PRO Desktop 4.0 for macOS;
- Ajax PRO Desktop 4.0 for Windows.
- Add at least one virtual room.
- Add a compatible hub to the space. Ensure the hub is switched on and has internet access via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and/or a cellular network.
- Ensure the space is disarmed and the hub is not updating by checking their states in an Ajax app.
Only a PRO or a space admin with system configuration rights can add a device to the hub.
Connecting to the hub
- Open the Ajax app. Select the hub where you want to add the keypad.
- Go to the Devices
tab. Click Add Device.
- Enter a name for the device, then scan or manually input the QR code (found on the keypad and the package box). Select a room and a group (if Group Mode is enabled).
- Press Add.
- Turn on the keypad by holding the power button for 3 seconds.
If the connection fails, turn off the keypad and try again after 5 seconds.
Please note that if the maximum number of devices has been added to the hub (depending on the hub model), you will be notified when attempting to add a new device.
Once connected to the hub, the keypad appears in the list of hub devices in Ajax apps. The update frequency for device states depends on the Jeweller or Jeweller/Fibra settings, with a default interval of 36 seconds.
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller can only operate with one hub at a time. When connected to a new hub, it stops communicating with the previous one. However, adding the keypad to a new hub does not automatically remove it from the device list of the old hub — this must be done manually via an Ajax app.

Sound indication
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller has a built-in buzzer that performs the following functions depending on the settings:
- Indicates the security status and also the Entry/Exit delays.
- Chimes on opening.
- Informs about alarms.
We do not recommend using Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller instead of a siren. The keypad’s buzzer is intended for additional notifications only. Meanwhile, Ajax sirens are designed to deter intruders and draw attention. A properly installed siren is more difficult to dismantle due to its elevated mounting position compared to a keypad at eye level.

Device placement
The device is designed for indoor use only.
When choosing a location for the device, consider the parameters that affect its operation:
- Jeweller and Wings signal strength.
- Distance between the keypad and the hub or range extender.
- Presence of obstacles for radio signal passage: walls, interfloor ceilings, large objects located in the room.
Consider the recommendations for placement when developing a security system project for your facility. The security system must be designed and installed by specialists. A list of recommended partners is available here.
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller is best placed indoors near the entrance. This allows disarming the system before the entry delays have expired and quickly arming the system when leaving the premises.
The recommended installation height is 4.3–4.9 ft above the floor. Install the keypad on a flat, vertical surface. This ensures Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller is securely attached to the surface and helps avoid false tamper alarms.
Signal strength
The Jeweller and Wings signal strength is determined by the number of undelivered or corrupted data packages over a certain period of time. The icon on the Devices
tab indicates the signal strength:
- Three bars — excellent signal strength.
- Two bars — good signal strength.
- One bar — low signal strength, stable operation is not guaranteed.
- Crossed out icon — no signal.
Check the Jeweller and Wings signal strength before final installation. With a signal strength of one or zero bars, we do not guarantee stable operation of the device. Consider relocating the device as repositioning even by 7.9 inches can significantly improve the signal strength. If there is still poor or unstable signal after the relocation, use ReX 2 Jeweller radio signal range extender. Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller is not compatible with ReX radio signal range extenders.
Where the keypad cannot be installed
- Outdoors. This can lead to keypad failure.
- In places where parts of clothing (for example, next to the hanger), power cables or Ethernet wire may obstruct the keypad. This can lead to false triggering of the keypad.
- Nearby any metal objects or mirrors causing attenuation and screening of the signal.
- Inside premises with temperature and humidity outside the permissible limits. This could damage the keypad.
- Closer than 3.3 ft from the hub or radio signal range extender. This can lead to a loss of communication with the keypad.
- In a place with a low signal level. This may result in the loss of the connection with the hub.
- Near the glass break detectors. The built-in buzzer sound may trigger an alarm.
- In places where the acoustic signal can be attenuated (inside furniture, behind thick curtains, etc.).
Installation
Before installing Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller, ensure that you have selected the optimal location that complies with the requirements of this manual.
To mount a keypad:
- Remove the SmartBracket mounting panel from the keypad. Unscrew the holding screw first and slide the panel down.
- Fix the SmartBracket panel using double-sided tape to the selected installation spot.
Double-sided tape can only be used for temporary installation. The device attached by the tape may come unstuck from the surface at any time. As long as the device is taped, the tamper will not be triggered when the device is detached from the surface.
SmartBracket has markings on the inner side for easy installation. The intersection of two lines marks the center of the device (not the attachment panel). Orient them when installing the keypad.
- Place the keypad on SmartBracket. The device LED indicator will flash. It is a signal indicating that the enclosure of the keypad is closed.
If the LED indicator doesn’t light up during placing on SmartBracket, check the tamper status in an Ajax app, the integrity of the fastening, and the tightness of the keypad fixation on the panel.
-
Run the Jeweller and Wings signal strength tests. The recommended signal strength is two or three bars. If the signal strength is low (a single bar), we do not guarantee stable operation of the device. Consider relocating the device, as repositioning even by 7.9 inches can significantly improve the signal strength. If there is still poor or unstable signal after the relocation, use ReX 2 Jeweller radio signal range extender.
- Run Signal attenuation test. During the test, the signal strength can be reduced and increased to simulate different conditions at the installation location. If the installation spot is chosen correctly, the keypad will have a stable signal strength of 2–3 bars.
- If the tests are passed successfully, remove the keypad from SmartBracket.
- Fix the SmartBracket panel on the surface with bundled screws. Use all fixing points.
When using other fasteners, ensure they do not damage or deform the panel.
- Place the keypad on the SmartBracket mounting panel.
- Tighten the holding screw on the bottom of the keypad’s enclosure. The screw is needed for more reliable fastening and protection of the keypad from quick dismantling.
Connecting a third-party power supply unit
When connecting a third-party power supply unit and using Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller, follow the general electrical safety regulations for using electrical appliances, as well as the requirements of regulatory legal acts on electrical safety.
Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller is equipped with terminals for connecting a 10.5 V–14 V⎓ power supply unit. Recommended electrical parameters for the power supply unit are: 12 V⎓ with a current of at least 0.5 A.
We recommend connecting an external power supply when you need to keep a display always active and to avoid rapid battery discharge, for example, when using the keypad in premises with low temperatures. An external power supply is also required for updating the keypad firmware.
When external power is connected, the pre-installed batteries serve as a backup power source. Do not remove them while connecting the power supply.
Before installing the device, make sure to check the wires for any damage to the insulation. Use only a grounded power source. Do not disassemble the device while it’s under voltage. Do not use the device with a damaged power cable.
To connect a third-party power supply unit:
- Remove the SmartBracket mounting panel. Carefully break out the perforated enclosure part to prepare the holes for the cable:
1 — to output the cable through the wall.
2 — to output the cable from the bottom. It is enough to break out one of the perforated parts. - De-energize external power supply cable.
- Connect the cable to the terminals by observing polarity (marked on the plastic).
- Route the cable in the cable channel. An example of how to output the cable from the bottom of the keypad:
- Turn on the keypad and place it on the mounting panel.
- Check the status of batteries and external power in an Ajax app and the overall operation of the device.
For an INCERT-compliant system, do not connect the third-party power supply unit to Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller.
Maintenance
Regularly check the functioning of Superior KeyPad TouchScreen G3 Jeweller. The optimal frequency of checks is once every three months. Clean the device enclosure of dust, cobwebs, and other contaminants as they emerge. Use soft, dry wipes suitable for equipment maintenance.
Do not use substances that contain alcohol, acetone, petrol, and other active solvents to clean the device. Gently wipe the touch screen.
The device runs for up to 1.5 years on the pre-installed batteries — a calculated value based on default settings and up to 4 daily interactions with the keypad.
The system will send an early warning when it’s time to replace the batteries. When changing the security mode, the LED will slowly light up and go out.
