AJAX FireProtect Instruction Manual

Solar Plus Ajax
1. FEATURES
Wireless FireProtect and FireProtect Plus smoke detectors are intended to
detect fires, accompanied by appearance of smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide
(only FireProtect Plus) high concentrations in the premises. Detectors help to
detect fire at an early stage. Detectors work as standalone device or as a part
of Ajax security system.

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.
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.

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:
APPLICATION FIREPROTECT LIGHT
3 indication lights almost constantly, with short
bars breaks every 1.5 seconds
2 indication
blinks 5 times per second
bars
1 indication bar blinks twice per second
0 bars short flashes each 1.5 seconds
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%.

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.
