Functional Elements
Operating Principle
The device detects smoke with an optocoupler which consists of an infrared
emitter and a photodetector placed in the smoke chamber. When smoke enters
the chamber, the photodetector detects it by the infrared beam distortion. 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.

The life span of the FireProtect detector lasts up to 10 years. In the event of a detector
failure, you will receive a corresponding notication — it will need to be replaced or
submitted for .
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 of the device can be turned off using three ways:
comprehensive diagnostics
1. By pressing the Ajax logo on the device lid (there is a touch button under the
logo).
2. Through the Ajax app. In case of re alarm, you will see a pop-up message
in the Ajax app suggesting to turn off the built-in sirens.

Please note that for this to work you need to priorly select Mute Interconnected
Fire Alarmcommand for this button in the KeyPad/KeyPad Plus settings.
If smoke and/or temperature levels do not restore to normal values, in 10
minutes, the FireProtect turns on the siren again.

To give more time to eliminate the cause of false triggering of the detector, the
user can delay the propagation of the interconnected alarm for another 10
minutes:
If a triggered detector does not return to a normal state within 10 minutes after the user
postponed the interconnected alarm, another re detector reports an alarm, or a
triggered detector reports an alarm of another type (for example, temperature and
smoke), the system will send an alarm conrmation and activate interconnected alarm
for re detectors.

detect an alarm).
By pressing the touch button of the triggered re detector.

5. If necessary, activate the Ignore First Alarm option. This setting is
recommended for premises with potential sources of false alarms. For example,
if the device is installed in a place where dust or steam can get into the detector.
The option functions as follows:
1. The detector reports a smoke alarm and activates the built-in siren.
2. The built-in 30-second timer of the detector starts.
3. If after 30 seconds the detector still detects a threat, an alarm is sent to the
hub.
4. Hub sends alarms to all users and to the Central Monitoring Station (CMS) of
the security company.
Setting the Residential re alarm system
Residential re alarm system is an Ajax system feature that denes user and
device rights to mute the interconnected alarms of re detectors.
If the feature is enabled, users can silence re alarms of triggered detectors only
in the groups to which they have access. And Button, KeyPad, KeyPad Plus —
the alarms only of those re detectors that are in the same group.
The feature is useful for objects consisting of several rooms and protected by a
single hub. For example, for multi-apartment complexes where each at is a
group with at least one re detector installed. In this case, users can respond to
the alarms of their groups without silencing the alarms of other groups.

The feature is available for , and on and
later versions.

Jeweller Signal Strength Test
Smoke Sensor Self Test

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 centre) 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.
Installation
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.
The device developed only for indoor use.
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.
Check the Jeweller signal level at the installation location
Attenuation Test

If after moving the device still has a low or unstable signal strength, 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 centimetres 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!

How to install FireProtect re detector correctly
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.

If the 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:
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.
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,
signalling that the tamper is closed.

3. Install the detector as described in the section .Installation procedure

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, petrol, 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
and the detector signal with a sound every 90 seconds:
Keep new and used batteries away from children. Do not ingest battery, Chemical Burn
