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).
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!
