AJAX FireProtect User manual

Updated April 22, 2021
FireProtect (FireProtect Plus) is a wireless indoor fire detector with an in-built
buzzer and a battery, ensuring up to 4 years of autonomous operation.
FireProtect can detect smoke and rapid temperature increase.
Aside from these functions, FireProtect Plus additionally can alert of dangerous
CO level. Both detectors can function independently from the hub.
Connecting to the Ajax security system via a secured radio protocol,
FireProtect (FireProtect Plus) communicates with the 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 or integration module.
The detector is set up via the 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.
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°Сor rises by 30°Сduring 30 minutes (not
necessary to reach 60°С), the detector registers temperature increase, which
triggers a fire alarm.

The life span of the FireProtect Plus detector lasts up to 7 years (up to 10 years for the
). In the event of a detector failure, you will receive a corresponding
notification — it will need to be replaced or submitted for .
FireProtect Plus has an additional sensor to detect a dangerous CO level. If the
concentration of CO in the air exceeds a certain level, the detector generates an
alarm.
The detector is triggered:
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 of the device can be turned off using three ways:
within 60–90 min at carbon oxide concentration 50 ppm / 0.005%
within 10–40 min at CO concentration 100 ppm / 0.01%
within 3 min at carbon oxide concentration 300 ppm / 0.03%.
1. By pressing the Ajax logo on the device lid (there is a touch button under the
logo).
2. Through the Ajax app. In case of fire alarm, you will see a pop-up message in

Please note that for this to work you need to priorly select Mute Interconnected
Fire Alarmcommand for this button in the KeyPad settings.
If smoke and/or temperature levels do not restore to normal values, in 10
minutes, the FireProtect/FireProtect Plus turns on the siren again.
3. Using the (if Interconnected FireProtect Alarms feature is enabled).
To turn off the built-in sirens in case of fire alarm, press the “*” button on the
KeyPad.

Before starting connection:
Only users with administrator rights can add the device to the hub
Pairing the detector with hub:
1. Following the hub user guide, install the . 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.
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.

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).
To connect the detector to a third party security central unit using the
or integration module, follow the
recommendations in the manual of the respective device.
The smoke detector always operates in the active mode. When connecting
FireProtect to third party security systems, it is appropriate to place it in a
permanently active protection zone.

The function works as follows:
1. One of the FireProtect/FireProtect Plus detectors detects an alarm.
2. Delay of Interconnected Alarms starts.
3. The built-in siren of the fire detector informs the alarm. Users receive
notifications in the Ajax app (if are enabled). At the
