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°or rises by 30°during 30 minutes (not necessary to
reach 60°), the detector registers temperature increase, which triggers a re
alarm.
The life span of the FireProtect Plus detector lasts up to 7 years (up to 10 years for the
). 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.
FireProtect Plus reacts to carbon monoxide long before the rst symptoms of
poisoning appear. It is triggered:
Loss of consciousness is possible at a CO concentration of 0.1% lasting over 2 hours!
The detector stops notifying about the dangerous level of carbon monoxide when
the concentration drops to 40 ppm (0.004%) within one minute.
The siren of the device can be turned off using three ways:

Interconnected Fire Detectors Alarms Setup
The function activates built-in sirens of all re detectors if at least one of them is
triggered. Sirens are activated within the hub–detector ping interval according to
the Jeweller settings.
To enable Interconnected Alarms:
1. Open the Devices tab in the
2. Select a hub
3. Go to its Settings by pressing
4. Select the Service item
5. Go to the Fire detectors settings menu and activate the Interconnected Fire
Detectors Alarmsoption
Interconnected alarms are supported by FireProtect and FireProtect Plus detectors with
�rmware versions 3.42 and later. 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.
6. If necessary, set the Delay of Interconnected Alarms from 0 to 5 minutes (in
1-minute increments). The option allows you to postpone the interconnected alarm
for a specied period of time.
When this option is inactive, the interconnected alarm is sent to all �re detectors within a

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.
• By pressing the KeyPad/KeyPad Plus function button (in the interconnected re
alarm muting mode).
• By pressing the Button in the interconnected re alarm muting mode.
• By eliminating the cause of the alarm (re detectors at the facility no longer
detect an alarm).
• By pressing the touch button of the triggered re detector.

7. 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.
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.
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 apartment 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.

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).

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.
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.

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
Where and how to install FireProtect Plus

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.
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;
5. inside premises with the temperature and humidity beyond the range of
permissible limits;
6. closer than 1 m to the hub.
1. Switch on the detector by pressing the on/off button for 3 seconds (the logo
will light up green for 1 second) and conduct the smoke test.

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

How to clean up the smoke chamber
• if the main batteries are low — a single short signal;
• if the backup battery is low — two short signals;
• if both batteries are low — three short signals.
