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
(

)
.

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%.

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.

4. An alarm confirmation event is sent to the monitoring station and security
system users, and the system starts the interconnected alarm for fire detectors
if:
The interconnected alarm delay time has passed, and the triggered detector
is still registering an alarm.

During the delay of the interconnected alarms, the triggered detector
reports a different type of alarm (for example, the detector report the
exceeding of the temperature threshold after a smoke alarm).
During the interconnected alarm delay, another fire detector in the system
raised an alarm.

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.
Before installing the detector, check the smoke sensor. To test it, switch on the
detector and press the sensor button (the logo center) 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.

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 centimeters from
the ceiling level, install the detector between every two beams.
Before installing the detector, make sure that you have selected the optimal
location that follows the guidelines of this manual!

If LED doesn’t blink after fixing in SmartBracket, check the status of the tamper
in the 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:
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
SmartBracket. When the detector is fixed in SmartBracket, it blinks with LED,
signaling that the tamper is closed.
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;

In case of autonomous use, the detector notifies of the detected fire/smoke with
the siren sound and light of the logo. To switch off the siren, press the logo
(there is a sensor button) or eliminate the cause of the actuated alarm.
Check the operational capability of the detector regularly. Clean the detector
body from dust, spider web, and other contaminants as they appear. Use soft dry
napkin suitable for tech equipment.
Do not use any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline, and other
active solvents to clean the detector.
To a certain level, the detector ignores the dust in the smoke chamber. When the
chamber becomes too dusty, the detector notifies the user of the need to clean it
via the app (and beeps every minute and a half). Such maintenance is
compulsory for the detector to operate correctly.
Pre-installed batteries ensure up to 4 years of autonomous operation. If the
batteries are discharged, the security system sends the respective notifications
and the detector signal with a sound every 90 seconds:
