3. PACKAGE CONTENTS
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that in the installation location sensor has a stable radio contact
with the receiver! A maximum distance of 2000 m (6552 ft) between the
sensor and the receiver is mentioned as a comparison with other devices.
This distance was found as a result of open area tests. Connection quality
and distance between the sensor and the receiver can vary depending on
installation location, walls, compartments, bridgings, as well as the thickness
and constructional material. Signal coming through obstacles, loses power.
For example, distance range between the sensor and receiver, divided with
two reinforced concrete bearing walls, constitutes approximately 30 m (98 ft).
Please note that moving the sensor even 10 cm (4 in), it is possible to improve
the signal reception considerably. Be sure to check the radio signal level!
You can run radio signal test from Ajax mobile application or web browser by
clicking on “Signal level test” in the detector settings.
4. GETTING STARTED
4.1 Before installing the detector, it is required to register it with the Ajax
security system. In order to register the sensor, it is necessary to switch the
Ajax security system’s receiver to «Add Device» mode and switch on detector
by pressing power button 3 (PICTURE 1) for 3 seconds. At the moment
of switching on detector will flash with green light «1» (PICTURE 1). The
registration request is transmitted only at the moment of switching on. In case
the registration was not successful, FireProtect blinks 6 times with green LED
at the intervals once every second, then detector switches into standalone
mode. To repeat registration switch off detector by pressing the power button
for 3 seconds, and after a pause of 5 seconds switch it on again. If FireProtect
was removed from list of registered devices in security system, it also blinks
6 times with green LED once every second, after that detector switches into
standalone mode. Smoke detector always works in the active mode, therefore,
when using third party security systems, it is desirable to place it in a constantly
active 24-hour security zone of third party security system (panel).
4.2 After successful registration, select optimal location for installation.
APPLICATION FIREPROTECT LIGHT DESCRIPTION
3 indication
bars lights almost constantly, with short breaks every 1.5 seconds excellent signal level
2 indication
bars blinks 5 times per second medium signal level
1 indication bar blinks twice per second bad signal level
0 bars short flashes each 1.5 seconds no signal
For detector reliable operation signal strength should be no worse than of
average level!
5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Smoke detector is designed for indoor use and is not intended to be
installed outside. The detector must be installed on the ceiling at its highest
point. Remember that in a typical situation, hot air and smoke rise up and they
will be concentrated in the highest places of the room. If the ceiling has beams
protruding 30 cm from its level, at least one smoke detector must be installed
between every two beams.
Detector functioning check is strongly recommend (refer to p. 5.11)!
5.2 Fireprotect detects smoke using optocoupler made of infrared radiator
and photoreceiver, which are mounted in a special smoke chamber. If smoke
particles get into the chamber, the photoreceiver detects their presence on
infrared ray distortion. If smoke particles concentration becomes more than
a certain permissible level, the ray distortion becomes stronger and detector
sends a signal about smoke alarm to the security system panel simultaneously
switching on an acoustic siren built into detector and a red alarm light.
5.3 Since some materials burn without smoke, additional fire detection
system using temperature measurements is integrated to the detector. If
temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F), the detector gives an alarm immediately.
Also FireProtect will be activated if it detects fast temperature rise, even if it
is lower than 60 °C.
5.4 FireProtect Plus detector model is additionally equipped with carbon
monoxide (CO) sensor. When certain CO in the air concentration is exceeded,
FireProtect Plus generates an alarm. Detector is activated: within 60-90
minutes at carbon monoxide concentration of 50 ppm / 0,005% CO in the
air; during 10 - 40 minutes at CO concentration of 100 ppm / 0,01%; within 3
minutes at carbon monoxide concentration of 300 ppm / 0,03%.

IMPORTANT!
Signal level test take some time to start. A certain period of time is necessary
for the receiver to send a test request to the sensor, and for the sensor to
send a test response.
Test results are displayed in application or a web browser as 3-bar-indicators,
as well as on a FireProtect itself. Signal level test results may be as follows:

5.5 Alarm activation is accompanied with a sound signal of built-in siren and
red light indication. In alarm mode it is possible to switch off sound signal
for approximately 10 minutes by pressing the touch-sensitive button «Test»
(«1», PICTURE 1). It is in the center of AJAX logo. At that alarm light indication
is not switched off, no messages come to the receiver in this case and it
continues to detect the alarm. If in 10 minutes the smoke level, temperature
or CO concentration in the air didn’t normalize, the sound signal is reproduced
repeatedly.
5.6 For detector installation rotate SmartBracket fastening panel (PICTURE 2)
counter clockwise and take it off.

5.11 Before installation be sure to run a test to check smoke detector
operability. When the detector is switched on and in work mode (without
alarm) put finger on the touch-sensitive button «Test» on the detector’s body
in the center of AJAX logo («1», PICTURE 1) for up to 10 seconds. It will switch
the detector to self-test mode for about 5 seconds. In self-test mode, smoke
chamber operability is checked, electronic simulation of smoke presence is
made, and if smoke chamber is OK – sound signal is generated.
5.7 Fix SmartBracket fastening panel in the ceiling using supplied dowels and
screws.
5.8 Fix detector on SmartBracket. Once the detector is fixed on SmartBracket,
it must blink with green LED - it means that tamper button is closed on the
detector. If detector didn’t blink, you should check lid state in receiver settings.

IMPORTANT!
Be careful when installing the fastening panel. Excessive force during its
fixation may lead to deformation and, as a consequence, in impossibility to
install the detector or insecure fixing. Secure fastening panel only using with
supplied mounting tools! Use of other fasteners, such as, large diameter
screws, may damage the fastening panel.
IMPORTANT!
Don’t install the detector:
• near the points places of fast air circulation (ventilations units, open
windows or doors);
• near metal objects, causing radio signal attenuation;
• In the rooms with temperature and humidity exceeding the appropriate
levels.
IMPORTANT!
Duration of detector autonomous operation depends on batteries quality
and quantity of alarms triggered. At the average batteries works for about
4 years. It is not possible to switch on detector with additional battery only,
main batteries must be always installed.
CAUTION! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.
WARNING! When a battery has reached the end of its useful life, do not
dispose of the battery in general household waste.
5.9 The detector is installed!
5.10 Ensure that elements of interior, furniture, curtains, house plants,
decorative design, wires or other objects don’t cover detector.

6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 Maintenance is done once every 6 months. The sensor’s board must be
cleared of dust, spider web and other impurities.
6.2 If to much dust entered the smoke chamber it can be perceived as smoke,
and detector can give a false alarm. Regularly, at least once in 6 months, get
rid of the dust, cleaning the detector. If detector is installed in a dusty premises,
you need to clean it more often.
6.3 The detector can compensate smoke chamber dustiness before certain
level reach. If it was exceeded the message about the necessity to clean the
detector will be sent to the receiver (panel). In case of dustiness or smoke
chamber failure, the detector gives a long sound signal every minute and a
half. Blow the detector with vacuum cleaner or compressor to clean it.
6.4 In case of carbon monoxide (CO) detector failure, the detector similarly
gives one long sound signal every minute and a half!
6.5 Never rub the sensor with substances containing alcohol, acetone, petrol
and other solvents.
6.6 Replace the batteries up to date. If the battery level is low, the sensor
sends signal to the alarm system receiver unit. Detector also signals about
low battery with sound signals: one short sound signal - main batteries
CR2 are discharged; two short sound signals – additional CR2032 battery is
discharged; three sound signals - both batteries are discharged.
To replace the batteries, switch off FireProtect with power button, unscrew
screws «4» (PICTURE 1) and remove detector cover. Detector has elements
that blocks cover assembly without installed the main set of batteries. Change
batteries with new ones, following polarity. Switch on FireProtect with power
button.
7. WARRANTY
7.1 The warranty period for the detector is 24 months. Warranty does not apply
to the batteries!
