ELAUSYS / JA-KNX
Jablotron KNX Gateway
The JA-KNX connects compatible Jablotron alarm panels to KNX through the JA-121T RS485 module. Monitor up to 96 zones, view the status of four sections, and send arm, partial-arm, and disarm commands from your KNX installation.
The product
Designed for your installation.
Connect your Jablotron alarm system to KNX
The Elausys JA-KNX makes supported alarm-system information available as KNX group objects. View alarm states alongside other building information and use them in configured automation.
The gateway communicates locally with the alarm panel. An internet connection or cloud service is not required for monitoring or commands.
Monitor zones and alarm-system states
Monitor up to 96 zones and four sections, with nine status objects per section. Available section states include armed, partially armed, disarmed, entry and exit delays, and alarm indications. Read the status of up to 32 PG outputs.
Available information depends on the panel configuration and the supported interface.
Use alarm information in building automation
Display alarm information in HyperVisu or another KNX visualisation. For example, use a confirmed armed state to recall an away scene for lighting and heating. Scene responses are configured in the receiving KNX devices.
Send arm, partial-arm, and disarm commands for up to four sections using the alarm user code configured in ETS. Up to 32 PG outputs can also be controlled from KNX, with their status available on the bus.
The alarm panel continues to manage its own security functions. The gateway adds integration with the building automation system.
Compatibility and installation
Supported systems: Jablotron 100 / 100+ series panels with a JA-121T module.
Connect through a JA-121T RS485 module configured to 9600 baud. The JA-121T is supplied separately. The gateway includes an RS485 termination resistor.
Installation requires a KNX bus connection and the supported alarm-panel interface, plus an external 12 VDC power supply. Configure KNX parameters and group addresses in ETS5 or ETS6.
For larger installations, up to 192 zones using 2 gateways with the appropriate zone offsets can be configured where supported by the panel.
Check the documentation for the required panel settings, supported functions, and installation details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Jablotron alarm systems are compatible?
Jablotron 100 / 100+ series panels with a JA-121T module. Check the documentation for the exact panel and interface configuration.
Can I arm or disarm the system from KNX?
Send arm, partial-arm, and disarm commands for up to four sections using the alarm user code configured in ETS. Up to 32 PG outputs can also be controlled from KNX, with their status available on the bus.
Is the JA-121T module included?
No. A JA-121T module is required and must be ordered separately if it is not already installed.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. The gateway communicates locally through RS485 via JA-121T at 9600 baud. Monitoring and supported commands do not require a cloud service.
Can I monitor more than 96 zones?
Up to 192 zones using 2 gateways with the appropriate zone offsets. Configure the offsets and panel interface according to the documentation.
What do I need to install it?
JA-121T module, supplied separately. You also need a KNX installation, an external 12 VDC supply, and ETS5 or ETS6 for KNX configuration.
