MotionProtect (MotionProtect Plus) operates within the Ajax security system, by connecting
via the protected Jeweller protocol to the Hub. The communication range is up to 1700
(MotionProtect Plus up to 1200)meters if there are no obstacles. In addition, the detector can
be used as part of third-party security central units due to the Ajax uartBridge or Ajax ocBridge
Plus integration module.
The detector is set up via a mobile application for iOS and Android-based smartphones. The
user is notified of all events through push notifications, SMS messages and calls (if activated).
The Ajax security system is self-sustaining, but the user can connect it to the central monitoring
station of a private security company.

MotionProtect Operating Principle
Thermal PIR sensor of MotionProtect detects intrusion into a protected room by detecting
moving objects whose temperature is close to the temperature of the human body. At that, the
detector can ignore domestic animals - you only need to set up the suitable sensitivity in the
settings.
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 immediately transmits an alarm signal to the Hub, activating the
sirens connected to the hub and notifying the user and private security company.
If before arming system the detector has detected motion, it will not set in the armed mode
immediately, but during the next inquiry by the hub.
Connecting the Detector to the Ajax security system
Before starting connection:

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
1. Following the Hub instruction recommendations, install the Ajax application on your
smartphone. Create an account, add the Hub to the application, and create at least one
room.
2. Go to the Ajax application.
3. Switch on the Hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable and/or GSM
network).
4. Ensure that the Hub is disarmed and does not start updates by checking its status in the
mobile application.
⚠️Only users with administrative privileges can add the device to the Hub
How to connect the detector to the Hub:
1. Select the Add Device option in the Ajax application.
2. Name the device, scan/write manually the QR Code (located on the body and packaging),
and select the location room.

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
3. Switch on the device.
For the detection and interfacing to occur, the detector should be located within the
coverage area 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 time of switching on
the device.
If the connection to the Ajax Hub failed, switch off the detector for 5 seconds and repeat the
attempt.
The detector connected to the hub will appear in the list of devices of the hub in the
application. Update of the detector statuses in the list depends on the device inquiry time set
in the hub settings, with the default value - 36 seconds.
Connecting the Detector to Third Party security systems
To connect the detector to a third party security central unit using the Ajax uartBridge or Ajax
ocBridge Plus integration module, follow the recommendations in the manual of the respective
device.

Before using the detector as a security system element, set up the suitable sensitivity level of
the sensor.
The "Always Active" mode is worth switching on 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.

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
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).

Detector 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).
Signal Strength Test
Detection Zone Test
Attenuation test
Selection of the Detector Location
The area of the controlled territory and, consequently, the efficiency of the security system
depends on the location of the detector.
Location of the Ajax MotionProtect detector determines its 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 one division, we cannot guarantee stable operation of the security system.
Take 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.

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
If, after moving, the device still has a low or unstable signal strength, use a radio signal range
extender ReX.
It is advisable that the direction of the detector lens sight is 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.

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
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.
Installation of the Detector
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!

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
The Ajax MotionProtect detector should be attached to a vertical surface.
1. Attach the SmartBracket panel to the surface using bundled screws, using at least two fixing
points (one of them - above the tamper). After selecting other attachment hardware, make
sure that they do not damage or deform the panel.
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, the device may fail from a hit.
2. Put the detector on the attachment panel. As soon as 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.
If the LED indicator of the detector is not actuated after installation in SmartBracket, check
the status of the tamper in the Ajax Security System application and then the fixing tightness
of the panel.

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
If the detector is torn off from the surface or removed from the attachment panel, you will
receive the notification.
Do not install the detector:
outside the premises (outdoors);
in the direction of the window, when the detector lens is exposed to direct
sunlight (you can install MotionProtect Plus)
opposite any object with the rapidly changing temperature (e.g., electrical and gas
heaters) (you can install MotionProtect Plus)
opposite any moving objects with the temperature close to that of the human body
(oscillating curtains above the radiator) (you can install MotionProtect Plus)
at any places with fast air circulation (air fans, open windows or doors) (you can
install MotionProtect Plus)
nearby any metal objects or mirrors causing attenuation and screening of the signal;
within any premises with the temperature and humidity beyond the range of
permissible limits.
Detector Maintenance
Check the operational capability of the Ajax MotionProtect detector on a regular basis.
Clean the detector body from dust, spider web and other contaminants as they appear. Use soft
dry napkin suitable for equipment maintenance.
Do not use for cleaning the detector any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline and
other active solvents. 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 7 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.
