AJAX Fire Protect User manual
Fire Protect User Manual
Fire Protect is a wireless indoor fire detector with an in-built buzzer and a
battery, ensuring up to 4 years of autonomous operation. Fire Protect can
detect smoke and rapid temperature increase.
Connecting to the Ajax security system via a secured Jeweller radio
protocol, Fire Protect (Fire Protect Plus) communicates with the hub at a
distance of up to 1,300 m in line of sight.
The detector can be a part of third-party security systems, connecting to
them via the Ajax uartBridge or Ajax ocBridge Plus integration module.
The detector is set up via the Ajax apps for iOS, Android, macOS, and
Windows. The system notifies the user of all events through push
notifications, SMS, and calls (if activated).
The Ajax security system can be connected to a central monitoring station
of a security company.
Functional Elements
1. Siren hole
2. Light indicator (acts as the sensor and Test button)
3. Smoke chamber hole with the temperature detector behind the net
4. Smart Bracket attachment panel
5. Power button
6. Tamper button
7. QR code
Operating Principle
When smoke penetrates the detector chamber, it distorts infrared light
between the emitter and photoelectric receiver. This distortion triggers a
smoke alarm. When the temperature exceeds 60°С or rises by 30°С during
30 minutes (not necessary to reach 60°С), the detector registers
temperature increase, which triggers a fire alarm.
In case of alarm, the detector activates the built-in buzzer (the siren sound
can be heard from afar) and blinks with the light indicator. When connected
to a security system, both the user and the security company are notified of
the alarm.
The siren can be turned off by pressing the touch button (the center of the
light indicator) or in the Ajax app. If smoke and temperature levels do not
restore to normal values, in 10 minutes, the detector turns on the siren
again.
Connecting the Detector to the Ajax
Security System
Connecting to the hub
Before starting connection:
1. Following the hub user guide, install the Ajax app. Create the account, add
the hub, and create at least one room.
2. Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable
and/or GSM network).
3. Make sure that the hub is disarmed and does not update by checking its
status in the Ajax app.
Only users with administrator rights can add the device to the hub
Pairing the detector with hub:
1. Select Add Device in the Ajax app.
2. Name the device, scan or type the QR Code (located on the detector body
and packaging), and select the location room.
3. Tap Add —the countdown will start.
4. Switch on the device.
To make sure that the detector is on, press the on/off button —the logo will
light up red for a second.
For detection and pairing to occur, the detector should be located within the
coverage area of the wireless network of the hub (at a single protected
object). The connection request is transmitted for a short time: at the
moment of switching on the device.
If pairing with the hub fails, the detector operates autonomously; switch off
the detector for 5 seconds and retry.
The detector connected to the hub is displayed in the list of devices in the
app. The update of the detector status in the list depends on the device
inquiry time set in the hub settings (the default value is 36 seconds).

Performance testing
The Ajax security system allows conducting tests for checking the
functionality of connected devices.
The tests do not start straight away but within a period of 36 seconds when
using the standard settings. The test time start depends on the settings of
the detector scanning period (the paragraph on “Jeweller” settings in hub
settings).
According to the requirements of EN50131 standard, the level of the radio
signal sent by wireless devices is decreased during the test mode.
Detector Testing
Before installing the detector, check the smoke sensor. To test it, switch on
the detector and press the sensor button (the logo centre) for a few
seconds –the detector will test the smoke chamber with electronic
simulation of smoke generation and then will switch on the siren for 6
seconds.
You will receive the notification in the Ajax app regarding the test result and
detector status.
Installation
Selecting the Location
The location of the detector depends on its remoteness from the hub, and
obstacles hindering the radio signal transmission: walls, floors, large
objects inside the room.
Check the Jeweller signal level at the installation location
If the signal level is low (one bar), we cannot guarantee the stable
operation of the detector. Take all possible measures to improve the quality
of the signal. At least, move the detector: even a 20 cm shift can
significantly improve the quality of signal reception.
If the detector has low or unstable signal strength even after moving, use
a ReX Radio signal range extender.
Install the detector at the ceiling in the highest point where hot air and
smoke are concentrated in case of fire.
If there are any beams at the ceiling, protruding by 30 or more centimetres
from the ceiling level, install the detector between every two beams.
Installation procedure
Before installing the detector, make sure that you have selected the optimal
location that follows the guidelines of this manual!
1. Fix the Smart Bracket panel on the ceiling using bundled screws. If you use
any other attachment tools, make sure that they do not damage or deform
the attachment panel.
Use double-side adhesive tape only for temporary attachment of the detector. The tape runs dry
with time, which can cause falling, false triggering, and detector malfunction.
2. Put the detector on the attachment panel by turning it clockwise on Smart
Bracket. When the detector is fixed in Smart Bracket, it blinks with LED,
signalling that the tamper is closed.
If LED doesn’t blink after fixing in Smart Bracket, check the status of the
tamper in the Ajax app and then the fixing tightness of the panel.
If someone detaches the detector from the surface or takes it off the
attachment panel, the security system notifies you.
Do not install the detector:
1. outside the premises (outdoors);
2. nearby any metal objects or mirrors causing attenuation or screening of the
signal;
3. at any places with fast air circulation (air fans, open windows or doors);
4. closer than a meter to the cooking surface;
5. inside premises with the temperature and humidity beyond the range of
permissible limits;
6. Closer than 1 m to the hub.
Autonomous Use of the Detector
The detector can be used autonomously, without connecting to a security
system.
1. Switch on the detector by pressing the on/off button for 3 seconds (the logo
will light up green for 1 second) and conduct the smoke test.
2. Select the optimal location of the detector following the recommendations
in the second part of the section selecting the location of this manual.
3. Install the detector as described in the section Installation procedure.
