PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Ajax vhfBridge Black is a transponder that provides a hub with an additional channel to communicate with a monitoring station. The Ajax vhfBridge is a module for connecting Ajax security systems to third-party VHF transmitters/armed response radio transmitters.
The Ajax vhfBridge enables the use of Ajax systems in areas with unstable or no Internet connection such as nature reserves, mountainous and desert regions. Alarms and events of the system are transmitted via VHF radio waves over a vast distance. The vhfBridge can be used as a primary or a backup communication channel.
The Ajax vhfBridge is compatible with Hub 2, Hub Plus, Hub 2 Plus, Hub Hybrid, ReX and ReX 2. vhfBridge does not work with Hub, ocBridge Plus, uartBridge and third-party security control panels.
Product Code: 25352.92.BL1
You can add a 12V 7ah/7.2ah/8ah backup battery inside a vhfBridge casing which can also power up the armed response radio transmitter. In the event of power failures, the vhfBridge and AR Radio Transmitter will continue operating for up to 75 hours.
FEATURES OF THE AJAX vhfBRIDGE:
- Communication range of up to 1,800 meters in a line of sight
- Alarm transmission within 0.15 seconds
- Powered by a 100–240 VAC mains supply and can operate on a 12 V⎓ battery backup (battery not included)
- Place for a 12V 7ah/7.2ah/8ah backup battery
- Perforated areas in the casing for cable management
- 8 adjustable positive/negative trip outputs for sending events to a VHF transmitter
- Tamper detection against opening or removal of unit
- Up to 75 hours of autonomous operation
- Uncompromised security of communication
- Hassle-free installation
INSTALLATION AND SET-UP
Similar to other Ajax devices, vhfBridge connects to a hub in the app by scanning a QR-code. The transponder casing has perforated areas for more organized wiring. Outputs are configurable with Ajax apps for smartphones and computers.
