FireProtect / FireProtect Plus User Manual
Updated June 24, 2020
FireProtect (FireProtect Plus) is a wireless indoor re 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 noties the user of all events through push notications, SMS, and

The Ajax security system can be connected to a central monitoring station of a
security company.
Functional Elements
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 re alarm.
FireProtectPlus 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 notied 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:
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. Following the hub user guide, install the . Create the account, add
the hub, and create at least one room.
Ajax app
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).
Connecting to Third Party Security Systems
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.

Interconnected FireProtect Alarms Setup
Interconnected Alarm activates the built-in sirens of all FireProtect/FireProtect
Plus detectors installed on the facility if at least one of them raises an alarm.
To enable Interconnected Alarms:
Interconnected alarms are supported by FireProtect and FireProtect Plus detectors with
rmware versions 3.42 and higher. Please note that when you turn on the Interconnected
Alarms, you cannot set the hub-detector ping interval (Jeweller settings) of more than 48
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 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 notication in the Ajax app regarding the test result and
detector status.

Selecting the Location
The location of the detector depends on its remoteness from the hub, and
obstacles hindering the radio signal transmission: walls, oors, 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 signicantly improve the quality
of signal reception.
If the detector has low or unstable signal strength even after moving, use a
.
Install the detector at the ceiling in the highest point where hot air and smoke
are concentrated in case of re.
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.
Installation procedure
Before installing the detector, make sure that you have selected the optimal
location that follows the guidelines of this manual!

Where and how to install FireProtect Plus

If LED doesn’t blink after xing in SmartBracket, check the status of the tamper
in the and then the xing tightness of the panel.
If someone detaches the detector from the surface or takes it off the
attachment panel, the security system noties you.
Do not install the detector:
1. Fix the SmartBracket 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
SmartBracket. When the detector is xed 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;

Autonomous Use of the Detector
The detector can be used autonomously, without connecting to a security
system.
In case of autonomous use, the detector noties of the detected re/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.
Maintenance and Battery Replacement
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 noties 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 notications
