AJAX MotionProtect Curtain User manual

MotionProtect Curtain User Manual
Updated August 14, 2020
MotionProtect Curtain is a curtain type wireless motion detector. The detector
has a narrow horizontal detection angle and is designed for indoor perimeter
control: windows, doorways, and other entrances or exits of the guarded facility.
Maximum motion detection distance is 15 m.
MotionProtect Curtain integrates into Ajax security systems, connecting to a
through the secure protocol. Wireless coverage may reach up
1,700 m line-of-sight. The pre-installed battery ensures up to 3 years of
autonomous operation.
An iOS or Android is used for detector setup. It also noties the user about
any events with push notications, SMS, or calls (if enabled).
Ajax can be connected to the central monitoring station of a security company.
Connection to and integration modules is not provided.

Functional Elements
Operating Principle
MotionProtect Curtain’s IR sensors detect intrusion into the premises by
detecting moving objects having a temperature close to that of the human body.
Once the system is armed, the detector starts polling its two IR sensors. If a
motion is detected, an alarm state is instantly sent to the hub and green LED

Motion alarms are sent every 5 seconds
To prevent false alarms, MotionProtect Curtain has a Correlation Signal
Processing functionality that can be . Once it is
active, the detector starts sending alarm states to the hub only if an identical
motion signal is registered by both IR sensors. If it is disabled, MotionProtect
Curtain sends an alarm state even with one of the two IR sensors triggered.
Pairing the Detector with a hub
Before you start pairing the detector:
Please note that only a user with admin permissions can add devices to the hub
Pairing MotionProtect Curtain with a hub:
enabled in the detector’s settings
What is correlation signal analysis and how does it work
1. Turn on your hub and check the Internet connection (via Ethernet and/or
GSM).
2. Install the on your smartphone. Create an account, add
your hub to the app, and create at least one room.
Ajax application
3. Check the status of the hub in the app to make sure it is disarmed and is not
updating.
1. In the Ajax mobile app, tap Add device.
2. Name the device, scan the QR code or enter it manually (placed on the back
of the detector body or its packaging), select the room for placement, and

For detection and pairing to occur, the device must be within a hub’s wireless
coverage (at the same facility). The connection request will be sent to the Hub
only once the device turns on.
If the MotionProtect Curtain fails to connect to the hub, it will automatically
power down within 6 seconds after turning on. There is no need to turn off the
device to retry.
tap Add. The countdown will start.
3. Turn on the detector by holding its power button for 3 seconds.

If the MotionProtect Curtain has already been paired with another hub, turn off
the detector, and then follow the standard pairing procedure.
After pairing, the detector will appear on the app’s hub device list. The frequency
of the device status updates depends on the polling interval indicated in the
hub’s settings (36 seconds by default).
If the detector identies movement before the system is armed, it will activate
not immediately but the next it is polled by the hub.

Integrity Testing
Ajax security systems can run tests to verify the integrity of connected devices.
The tests start instantly, but no later than within 36 seconds by default. The test
start time depends on the detector polling interval setting (see the Jeweller
section in the Hub settings).
Detector Placement
The effectiveness of the security system depends on detector placement.
Choosing a location to install MotionProtect Curtain, consider the direction of
the light lter and obstacles that may affect the detector’s eld of view and the
radio signal transmission.
The device developed only for indoor use.
Incorrect placement may result in false alarms or faulty operation of the
detector.
Do not install the detector:
Signal Strength Test
Detection Zone Test
Attenuation test
Outside the premises (outdoors)
In front of the windows within reach of direct sunlight
Opposite of the objects that rapidly change temperature (e.g., electric and
gas heaters)
Opposite of the moving objects having a temperature close to that of the
human body (curtains swaying above a heating radiator)
In places with fast air circulation (near fans, open windows or doors)

If the detector keeps reacting to interference and raising false alarms, but it is
impossible to install it anywhere else, the Correlation Signal Processing can be
enabled in the settings.
Please note that if the Correlation Signal Processing is enabled, the range of motion
detection is reduced depending on the detector sensitivity chosen
Sensitivity Motion detection range w/ Signal
Correlation Processing *
Motion detection range w/o
Signal Correlation Processing *
Low Up to 6 m Up to 11 m
Normal Up to 7 m Up to 13 m
High Up to 8 m Up to 15 m
*at an ambient temperature of 23°C
If possible, avoid situations where the detector identies movement at a longer
distance than required. The best place to install it is within an enclosed place.
For instance, to detect movement in an archway, install the detector in it. This
way, the detector will be triggered only by a person that enters it.
Near metal objects and mirrors that cause the attenuation or interfere with
radio signals
Within any premises with the temperature and humidity beyond the
permitted range
Closer than 1 m to a hub

To prevent the detector from reacting to domestic animals, install it upside
down, leaving space for the free movement of animals below the detection
zone.
The placement of a MotionProtect Curtain also depends on the distance to a
hub and whether there are any obstacles between the devices that may hinder
the radio signal, e.g., walls, oor deck, or large objects in the room.
Check the signal strength at the placement location. If you have a signal level of
one bar, there is no guarantee of the security system’s stable operation. Take all
necessary precautions to ensure maximum signal level. At least try moving the
device—even 20 cm can make a difference.
If the device still shows low or unstable signal level even after you move it, use a
.ReX radio signal range extender

The detector’s light lter should be directed perpendicularly to the expected
entry path to the room.
Make sure that no furniture, home plants, vases, decorative or glass structures
are blocking the detector’s eld of view.
We recommend installing the detector at a height of 2.4 m!
Installing the detector at any other height will narrow the detection zone,
affecting the quality of motion detection.
Keep in mind that MotionProtect Curtain does not detect movement behind the
glass. Therefore, do not install the detector in places where glass structures
may block its range of view, e.g., in places where an open window may obstruct
the device’s eld of view.
Detector Installation
Before installing the detector, make sure that you have chosen an appropriate
location as indicated in this manual.
There are two options for installing MotionProtect Curtain:

Installation procedure:
directly to a surface
to the included bracket.
1. Attach the SmartBracket panel or a bracket to the surface with the included
screws or other equally reliable fasteners. Screw the SmartBracket panel
onto the included bracket.
2. Attach the detector to the SmartBracket attachment panel.
3. Mount the detector on the SmartBracket attachment panel using a screw.

The double-sided adhesive tape should be used only for the temporary
installation of the detector. It will dry out eventually, becoming unable to reliably
hold the detector and possibly causing false alarms in the security system. The
fall of the device may also result in its damage.
If the detector’s LED fails to light up after the device is attached to the
SmartBracket, check the tamper status in the Ajax app and then check if it ts
tightly onto the attachment panel. If you try to detach the detector from the
surface or the panel, you will receive a notication.
Having installed the detector, run the . In case of incorrect operation,
the detector needs to be relocated.
Detector Care and Battery Replacement
Check the integrity of the MotionProtect Curtain detector regularly. Clean the
detector body from dust, spider webs, and other contaminations as they appear.
Use soft dry cloth suitable for equipment care.
Do not clean the detector with any substances containing alcohol, acetone,
gasoline, or any other active solvent. Wipe the lens carefully and gently—any
scratches on the plastic may reduce the detector’s sensitivity.
The pre-installed battery ensures up to 3 years of autonomous operation (at a
polling interval of 3 min). If the detector battery is nearly depleted, the security
system will send a notication, and the LED will smoothly light up and go out
when the detector detects any motion or if the tamper is activated.
