WallSwitch User manual
Updated January 27, 2021
WallSwitch is a wireless indoor power relay featuring a power consumption meter.
The miniature body of the device is adapted for installation in a European-type
socket.
Regardless of the type of electrical circuit, only a qualified electrician should install
WallSwitch!
WallSwitch operates only within the Ajax security system (integration into third-
party security systems is not provided), communicating with a via the
protected protocol. The communication range is up to 1,000 meters in the
line of sight.
Use scenarios to program actions of (Relay, WallSwitch, or
Socket) in response to an alarm, press, or schedule. A scenario can be

The Ajax security system can be connected to the central monitoring station of a
security company.

Operating Principle
WallSwitch input terminals are connected to the grid, and the output terminals are
connected to the socket or electrical appliance/system. WallSwitch closes/opens
the electric circuit, controlling the power supply by the command of the security
system user through the . The state of WallSwitch contacts can be
switched manually: by holding the function button for 2 seconds. To make
WallSwitch react to alarm or schedule automatically, you can configure a scenario.
WallSwitch features a protection system against voltage surge beyond the range of
184V – 253V or overcurrent above 13А. In this case, the power supply is
interrupted, resuming after normalizing the voltage and current values.

Ajax app

The maximum resistive load on the relay is 3 kW.
You can check the power usage by the electrical appliance connected via
WallSwitch through the app. There is a power consumption meter.
WallSwitch, with firmware version 5.54.1.0 and higher, can operate in pulse or
bistable mode. With this firmware version, you can also select the normal relay
contact state:
WallSwitch, with firmware version below 5.54.1.0, only works in bistable mode with
a normally open contact.
At low loads (up to 25 W), current and power consumption indications may be displayed
incorrectly due to hardware limitations.
Connecting to the hub
Before connecting the device:
Normally closed (NC) — the contacts open when the relay is activated and
closed when the relay is inactive.
Normally open (NO) — the contacts close when the relay is activated and open
when the relay is inactive.
How to find out the firmware version of the device?
1. Switch on the hub and check its Internet connection (the logo glows white or
green).
2. Install the . Create the account, add the hub to the app, and create at
least one room.
Ajax app
3. Make sure that the hub is not armed, and it does not update by checking its
status in the Ajax app.

Only users with administrator rights can add a device to the app.
To pair WallSwitch with the hub:
For detection and pairing to occur, the device should be located in the coverage area of the
hub’s wireless network (at the same object). The connection request is transmitted only at
the moment of switching on the device.
If the device failed to pair, wait 30 seconds and then retry. WallSwitch will appear in
the list of hub devices.
1. Click Add device in the Ajax app.
2. Name the device, scan it, or enter the QR code manually (located on the case
and packaging), select the room.
3. Click Add — the countdown will begin.
4. Press the functional button. If you can’t do this (the device is mounted in the
wall), give WallSwitch at least 20 W load for five seconds (by connecting and
disconnecting a working kettle or lamp).

The device statuses update depends on the ping interval set in the hub settings.
The default value is 36 seconds.
When switching on for the first time, WallSwitch contacts are open! When deleting
WallSwitch from the system, contacts open!

Temporary deactivation
Allows the user to deactivate the device without
removing it from the system. The device will not
execute system commands and participate in
automation scenarios. All notifications and
alarms of the device will be ignored

Indication
The WallSwitch light indicator can light green depending on the device status.
When not paired with the hub, the light indicator blinks periodically. When the
functional button is pressed, the light indicator lights up.
Functionality testing
The Ajax security system allows conducting tests for checking the functionality of
connected devices.
The tests do not start immediately but within a period of 36 seconds when using
default settings. The test time start depends on the settings of the detector ping
interval (the Jeweller menu in the hub settings).
Installation of the Device
Jeweller Signal Strength Test

Regardless of the type of electrical circuit, only a qualified electrician should install
WallSwitch!
WallSwitch is designed for installation inside a socket box with the diameter 50
mm and more and the depth no less than 70 mm. The relay can also be installed
within extension cords and other circuits powered by 230 V.
The communication range with the hub in the line of sight is up to 1,000 meters.
Take this into account when choosing the location for WallSwitch.
If the device has a low or unstable signal strength, use the
.
Installation process:
ReX radio signal range
extender
1. De-energize the cable to which WallSwitch will be connected.
2. Connect the grid wire to the WallSwitch terminals according to the following
scheme:
3. Connect a socket using bundled connecting wires or an electrical appliance
using a wire with the sufficient cross-section to WallSwitch. It’s recommended
to use wires with a cross-section of 1.5 – 2 mm².

Do not connect more than 3 kW load to WallSwitch. When connecting the load, strictly
observe the connection diagram since an incorrect connection may cause the device to
malfunction and/or damage the property.
When installing WallSwitch in the box, lead out the antenna and place it under the
plastic frame of the socket. The bigger the distance between the antenna and
metal structures, the lower the risk of interfering (and impairment) of the radio
signal.
1 — recommended antenna location
Do not shorten the antenna! Its length is optimal for operation within the used radio
frequency range!
During the installation and operation of WallSwitch, follow the general electrical
safety rules and the requirements of electrical safety regulatory acts.
It is strictly forbidden to disassemble the device. Do not use the device with damaged power
cables.
