Embracing the latest technology is nonnegotiable if you want to stay ahead and therefore Stafix decided to follow the Android-route with their JVA Android Touch Keypad. As one of the leading safety- and security equipment suppliers and installers in South-Africa, they have to be on top of the latest communication technology and trends. They are so satisfied with their Android-decision that they are constantly releasing new updates – a phenomenon well known under smart phone users. 

Their revolutionary new JVA Android Touch Keypad was launched last year and had undergone a number of upgrades. It can now take a JVA ZLM4 low voltage monitor and it is able to memorise ZM20 and ZM50 sectors. Existing users can have their keypads upgraded with these new Apps if necessary.

Just a reminder: The Android keypad is a graphical user interface and touch screen keypad for the JVA-range. It provides a menu driven programming interface for devices. Each device can have its own unique setting, programmed from a drop-down list of possible values with names and descriptions of each setting available. The days of lengthy paper manuals are over as installers can configure this device on screen.

The Android provides a method of loading and saving site configuration, including device configurations, custom zoning names, individual user permissions and more. This means that the ZM20 or ZM50 sector programming can be saved and recalled. Common setups can be saved quickly and reloaded into new devices.

The Android Keypad generates maintenance alarms when the site is incorrectly configured, and alarms can be sent to the user via email or SMS, utilizing the inbuilt Wi-Fi connection.
