vhfBridge Jeweller

Wireless module for connecting an Ajax system to third-party VHF transmitters

Instant alarm transmission without Internet

vhfBridge is a transponder that provides a hub with an additional channel to communicate with a monitoring station. With vhfBridge you can use Ajax systems in cities where Internet connection is unstable, in nature reserves, mountain and desert areas.
Alarms and events of the system are transmitted via VHF radio waves over tens of kilometres. vhfBridge can be used as a primary or a backup communication channel.

You can connect any VHF transmitter with relay inputs to vhfBridge

List of recommended VHF transmitters

  • FSK Electronics Hawk VHF Alarm Transmitter
  • RDC TX750C
  • Puper TR-41

Elaborate autonomy

You can build in a 7 Ah backup battery inside a vhfBridge casing. It will feed a VHF transmitter with up to 2A current consumption. Therefore, the transmitter doesn't need to have a separate battery, which makes maintenance less frequent.

In case of a power outage at a facility, the transponder and the transmitter operate on a backup battery for up to 75 hours while still transmitting events to a central monitoring station.

  • Up to 75 hours4 of autonomous operation
  • Place for a 7 Ah backup battery

Adjustable signalling

Get only events you need. You can configure each vhfBridge output in the Ajax app: set an event or disable it.

1. Intrusion
2. Panic button
3. Malfunction
4. Tamper
5. Power loss of vhfBridge
6. Power loss of the hub
7. Hub’s battery discharged
8. Loss of connection between vhfBridge and the hub
9. Fire
10. Medical assistance
11. Any alarm
12. Change of security modes
13. vhfBridge battery discharged
14. Confirmed intrusion*
15. Confirmed hold-up device alarm*

Unique wireless technology

Jeweller is Ajax’s proprietary radio protocol for secure two-way communication. It provides block encryption and device authentication during each communication session with an Ajax hub or radio signal range extender. Jeweller prevents sabotage, spoofing, and data theft.

  • Up to 1800 m of communication range in an open space
  • Data encryption
  • Notification of jamming and connection loss
  • Automatic power adjustment

Hassle-free installation

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.
