AJAX MotionProtect User manual

Posted on May 27, 2021
MotionProtect is a wireless motion detector designed for indoor use. It can
operate for up to 5 years from an in-built battery, and monitors the area within
12-meter radius. MotionProtect ignores animals, while recognizes a human from
the first step.
MotionProtect Plus uses radio frequency scanning along with a thermal sensor,
filtering interference from thermal radiation. Can operate up to 5 years from an
in-built battery.
MotionProtect (MotionProtect Plus) operates within the Ajax security system,
connected to the via the protected protocol. The communication
range is up to 1700 (MotionProtect Plus up to 1200) meters in the line of sight.
In addition, the detector can be used as a part of third-party security central
units via the or integration modules.
The detector is set up via the
for iOS Android macOS and Windows

The Ajax security system is self-sustaining, but the user can connect it to the
central monitoring station of a security company.
Thermal PIR sensor of MotionProtect detects intrusion into protected room by
detecting moving objects whose temperature is close to the temperature of the

When the MotionProtect Plus detects motion, it will additionally carry out radio
frequency scanning of the room, preventing false actuation from thermal
interferences: air flows from sun-heated curtains and louvre shutters, operating
thermal air fans, fireplaces, air conditioning units, etc.
After actuation, the armed detector immediately transmits an alarm signal to the
hub, activating the sirens and notifying the user and security company.
If before arming the system, the detector has detected motion, it will not arm
immediately, but during the next inquiry by the hub.
Before starting connection:
Only users with administrator rights can add the device to the hub
How to connect the detector to the hub:
1. Following the hub manual recommendations, install the .
Create an account, add the hub to the application, and create at least one
room.
2. Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet and/or
GSM network).
3. Make sure that the hub is disarmed and does not update by checking its
status in the app.
1. Select theAdd Deviceoption in the Ajax application.
2. Name the device, scan/write manually the QR Code (located on the body

For detection and pairing to occur, the detector should be located within the
coverage of the wireless network of the hub (at a single protected object).
Request for connection to the hub is transmitted for a short time at the moment
of switching on the device.
If the detector failed to connect to the hub, switch off the detector for 5 seconds
3. Select Add — the countdown will begin.
4. Switch on the device.

of the detector statuses in the list depends on the device inquiry time set in the
hub settings(default value is 36 seconds).
To connect the detector to a third party security central unit with the
or integration module, follow the recommendations in the
manuals of these devices.

No — the device operates normally and
transmits all events.
Lid only — the hub administrator has
disabled notifications about triggering on
the device body.
Entirely — the device is completely excluded
from the system operation by the hub
administrator. The device does not follow
system commands and does not report
alarms or other events.
By number of alarms — the device is
automatically disabled when the number of
alarms is exceeded (specified in the settings
for Devices Auto Deactivation). The feature
is configured in the Ajax PRO app.

Before using the detector as a part of the security system, set up the suitable
sensitivity level.
Switch the Always Active if the detector is located in a room requiring 24-hour
control. Regardless of whether the system is set in the armed mode, you will
receive notices of any detected motion.
If any motion is detected, the detector activates the LED for 1 second and
transmits an alarm signal to the hub and then to the user and central monitoring
station (if it is connected).

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
the standard settings. The time of the start depends on the settings of the
detector polling period (the paragraph on Jeweller settings in the hub settings).
The controlled area and the efficiency of the security system depends on the
location of the detector.
The device developed only for indoor use.
Location of MotionProtect depends on the remoteness from the hub and
presence of any obstacles between the devices hindering the radio signal
transmission: walls, inserted floors, large-size objects located within the room.

Check the signal level at the installation location
If the signal level is at one bar, we cannot guarantee stable operation of the
security system. Take all possible measures to improve the quality of the signal!
As a minimum, move the device – even 20 cm shift can significantly improve the
quality of reception.
If after moving the device still has a low or unstable signal strength, use the
.
The direction of the detector lens should be perpendicular to the probable way of
intrusion into the room
Make sure that any furniture, domestic plants, vases, decorative or glass
structures do not block the field of view of the detector.
We recommend installing the detector at the height of 2,4 meters.
If the detector is not installed at the recommended height, this will reduce the
area of the motion detection zone and impair the operation of the function of
ignoring animals.

Before installing the detector, make sure that you have selected the optimal location and
it is in compliance with the guidelines contained in this manual
The Ajax MotionProtect detector(MotionProtect Plus) should be attached to a
vertical surface or in the corner.

If the LED indicator of the detector is not actuated after installation in
SmartBracket, check the status of the tamper in the
and then the fixing tightness of the panel.
If the detector is torn off from the surface or removed from the attachment
panel, you will receive the notification.

other attachment screws, make sure that they do not damage or deform the

The double-sided adhesive tape may only be used for temporary attachment of the
detector. The tape will run dry in the course of time, which may result in the falling
of the detector and actuation of the security system. Furthermore, hitting can
damage the device.
2. Put the detector on the attachment panel. When the detector is fixed in
SmartBracket, it will blink with an LED – this will be a signal that the tamper
on the detector is closed.
1. outside the premises (outdoors)
2. in the direction of the window, when the detector lens is exposed to direct
sunlight (you can install MotionProtect Plus)
3. opposite any object with the rapidly changing temperature (e.g., electrical
and gas heaters) (you can install MotionProtect Plus)
4. opposite any moving objects with a temperature close to that of the human
body (oscillating curtains above the radiator) (you can install MotionProtect

Check the operational capability of the Ajax MotionProtect detector on a regular
basis.
Clean the detector body from dust, spider webs and other contaminants as they
appear. Use soft dry napkin suitable for equipment maintenance.
Do not use any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline and other
active solvents for cleaning the detector. Wipe the lens very carefully and gently
– any scratches on the plastic may cause reduction of the detector sensitivity.
The pre-installed battery ensures up to 5 years of autonomous operation (with
the inquiry frequency by the hub of 3 minutes). If the detector battery is
discharged, the security system will send respective notices and the LED will
smoothly lights up and goes out, if the detector detects any motion or if the
tamper is actuated.
