FireProtect / FireProtect Plus User Manual
FireProtect (FireProtect Plus) is a wireless indoor inflammation detector furnished with a
buzzer. It can detect smoke generation and temperature increase and function up to 4 years
from a battery and can operate autonomously.
FireProtect (FireProtect Plus) operates within the Ajax security system, by connecting via the
protected Jeweller protocol to the hub. The communication range is up to 1,300 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.

FireProtect Operating Principle
FireProtect operates even without connecting to a security system, determining the smoke
contamination level of the room and temperature increase (In addition, FireProtect Plus
registers a dangerous CO level), including a sharp one - in the autonomous mode and
supplied from batteries.
If any fire (smoke) is detected, the detector will switch on a buzzer - the fire siren can be heard
from far, and the logo will light red. When connected to a security system, the detector will also
send an alarm signal to the hub - the user and private security company will receive the
respective notifications.
The detector detects smoke using an optical coupler consisting of an infrared emitter and
photoelectric receiver located in a smoke chamber. If smoke penetrates into the chamber, the
photoelectric receiver detects it based on the distortion of the infrared ray.
As some materials burn without smoke emission, the detector also records temperature
variation. When the function is enabled, the alarm will be actuated, if the room temperature rises
up to 60°С and if the temperature rises by 30° during 30 minutes (even if it is below 60°С).
Additionally, the FireProtectPlus detector model has a function to detect a dangerous CO
level in the room. If a certain concentration of CO in the air is exceeded, the detector
generates an alarm.
The detector activates:

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
within 60–90 min at carbon oxide concentration 50 ppm / 0.005%
within 10–40 min at CO concentration 100 ppm / 0.01%
within 3 min at carbon oxide concentration 300 ppm / 0.03%.
You can deactivate the siren in case of smoke/inflammation detection by pressing the touch-
sensitive button in the center of the detector's logo and via the Ajax Security System application.
If the smoke level and temperature do not return to normal, then FireProtect will activate the
siren again after 10 minutes.

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, sensor will work autonomously; 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.
The smoke detector always operates in the active mode. When connecting FireProtect to third-
party security systems, it is appropriate to place it in a permanently active protection zone.

Performance testing

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
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
Attenuation Test
FireProtect Self Test
Pursuant to the requirements of the standard EN50131, the level of the radio signal sent by
wireless devices is decreased during the test mode.
Detector Testing
Prior to installing FireProtect, check the smoke detector. To test, switch on the device and press
the touch-sensitive button in the logo center for 10 seconds - the detector will test the smoke
chamber with the electronic simulation of smoke generation and then will switch on the siren for
8 seconds.
You will receive the corresponding notification in the application regarding the test result and
detector status.
Installing of the device
Selection of the Detector Location
The performance efficiency of the detector depends on its location.
Location of FireProtect as a security system element determines its remoteness from the hub
and presence of any obstacles between the devices, hindering the radio signal and sound
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.
If, after moving, the device still has a low or unstable signal strength, use a radio signal range
extender ReX.
The detector should be installed at the ceiling in the highest point where hot air and smoke are
concentrated.
If there are any beams at the ceiling, protruding by 30 or more centimeters from the ceiling
level, then the detector should be installed between every two beams.
Detector installation process
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]
1. Fix the SmartBracket panel on the ceiling using bundled screws. After selecting other
attachment hardware, make sure that they do not damage or deform the panel.
The double-sided adhesive tape may be only used for temporary attachment of the detector.
The tape will run dry in course of time, which may result in the falling and damage of the
detector.
2. Put the detector on the panel - the detector will blink with the logo, confirming the tamper
switching. Turn the detector clockwise to fix it on SmartBracket.
If the LED in the detector logo is not actuated after installation, check the status of the
tamper in the Ajax Security System application and then the fixing tightness of the device on
the panel.
In case of opening the SmartBracket panel (removing the detector from the ceiling), you will
receive the notification.
Do not install the detector:
outside the premises (outdoors)
in places with fast air circulation (near a ceiling fan, air conditioner, air exhaust, open doors
and windows)
nearer than a meter from the vertical projection of the cooking surface
nearby any metal objects or mirrors causing attenuation and screening of the signal
in a room with the humidity exceeding
Autonomous Use of the Detector
The FireProtect detector can be used autonomously, without connecting to a security system.
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 testing.
2. Determine the optimal location of the detector following the recommendations in the second
part of the section "Selection of the Detector Location" of this manual.
3. Install the FireProtect detector as described in the section "Installation of the Detector".

TH COMMUNICATION SDN BHD www.thcomm.com.my [e-mail]
In case of the autonomous use, the detector will notify of the detected fire/smoke with a sound
signal and light of the logo. To switch off the siren sound, press on the logo (there is a touch-
sensitive button under it) or eliminate the cause of the actuated alarm.
Detector Maintenance and Battery Replacement
Check the operational capability of the FireProtect detector on a regular basis.
Clean the detector body from dust, spider web and other contaminations as they appear with a
soft dry napkin suitable for equipment maintenance.
Do not use for cleaning any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline and other active
solvents.
Any dust that penetrated into the smoke chamber is perceived by the detector as smoke. The
dust content of the chamber is compensated up to some level, and then cleaning will be
required - the detector will send the respective notification. The detector also signals about the
contaminated smoke chamber or a failure using a long sound signal once every minute and a
half.
󱃤How to clean up the smoke chamber
Batteries installed in the detector ensure up to 4 years of autonomous operation. If the batteries
are discharged, the security system will send the respective notifications and the detector will
activate a sound signal once every 90 seconds.
if the main batteries are low - a single short signal;
if the backup battery is low - two short signals;
if all the batteries are low - three short signals.
