AJAX AX-TRANSMITTER Transmitter User Manual

AJAX AX-TRANSMITTER Transmitter

Product Information

• The Transmitter is a module designed to connect third-party detectors to the Ajax security system.
• The Transmitter transmits alarms and warns about the activation of the external detector tamper, equipped with its own accelerometer, which protects it from dismounting.
• The Transmitter operates within the Ajax security system, by connecting via the protected protocol to the hub. It is not intended to use the device in third-party systems and is not compatible with the Ajax uartBridge and Ajax ocBridge Plus.
• The communication range of the Transmitter can be up to 1,600 meters provided that there are no obstacles and the case is removed.
• The Transmitter can be set up via a mobile application for iOS and Android-based devices. It has a QR code with the device registration key, batteries contacts, LED indicator, ON/OFF button, and terminals for detector power supply, alarm, and tamper signals.
• The Transmitter is designed to connect third-party wired sensors and devices to the Ajax security system. The integration module receives information about alarms and tamper activation through the wires connected to the clamps.
• The Transmitter can be used to connect panic and medical buttons, indoor and outdoor motion detectors, as well as opening, vibration, breaking, fire, gas, leakage, and others wired detectors.
• The type of alarm is indicated in the settings of the Transmitter. A total of 5 types of devices are available: Intrusion alarm, fire alarm, medical alarm, panic button, and gas concentration alarm.
• A separate pair of terminals ensures power supply to the external detector from the module batteries with 3.3 V.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Install the Ajax mobile application on your smartphone and follow the hub instruction recommendations. Create an account, add the hub to the application, and create at least one room.
2. Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable and/or GSM network) and ensure that the hub is disarmed and does not start updates by checking its status in the mobile application.
3. Select the Add Device option in the Ajax application. Name the device, scan/write manually the QR Code (located on the body and packaging), and select the location room.
4. Select Add, and the countdown will begin. Switch on the device by pressing the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds.
5. The device should be located within the coverage area of the wireless network of the hub (at a single protected object) for detection and interfacing to occur.
6. If the connection to the Ajax hub failed, the Transmitter will switch off after 6 seconds. You may repeat the connection attempt then.

Connecting to the hub

Before starting connection

1. Following the hub instruction recommendations, install the ajax application on your smartphone. Create an account, add the hub to the application, and create at least one room.
2. Go to the Ajax application.
3. Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable and/or GSM network).
4. Ensure that the hub is disarmed  and does not start updates by checking its status in the mobile application.

Only users with administrative privileges can add the device to the hub

How to connect the Transmitter to the hub

1. Select the Add Device option in the Ajax application.
2. Name the device, scan/write manually the QR Code (located on the body and packaging), and select the location room.
3. Select Add — the countdown will begin.
4. Switch on the device (by pressing on/off button for 3 seconds).

For the detection and interfacing to occur, the device 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, the Transmitter will switch off after 6 seconds. You may repeat the connection attempt then.
The Transmitter connected to the hub will appear in the list of devices of the hub in the application. Update of device statuses in the list depends on the device inquiry time set in the hub settings, with the default value – 36 seconds.

| It turns on the Transmitter accelerometer, detecting device movement

Temporary Deactivation

| Shows the status of the device temporary deactivation function:

No — the device operates normally and transmits all events.

Lid only — the hub administrator has disabled notifications about triggering on the device body.

Entirely — the device is completely excluded from the system operation by the hub administrator. The device does not follow system commands and does not report alarms or other events.

By number of alarms — the device is automatically disabled by the system when the number of alarms is exceeded (specified in the settings for Devices Auto Deactivation). The feature is configured in the Ajax PRO app.

By timer — the device is automatically disabled by the system when the recovery timer expires (specified in the settings for Devices Auto Deactivation). The feature is configured in the Ajax PRO app.

Temporary deactivation

| Two options are available:

Entirely — the device will not execute system commands or run automation scenarios.

The system will ignore device alarms and notifications

Lid only — messages about triggering the tamper button of the device are ignored

The system can also automatically deactivate devices when the set number of alarms is exceeded or when the recovery timer expires.

• The type (mode) of the external detector that can be bistable or pulse.
• The tamper mode , which can be normally closed or normally open.
• The accelerometer-triggered alarm — you can turn this signal off or on.

Select the power mode for the external detector:

• Turned off when the hub is disarmed — the module stops powering the external detector upon disarming and does not process signals from the ALARM terminal. When arming the detector, the power supply resumes, but the alarm signals are ignored for the first 8 seconds.
• Always disabled — the Transmitter saves energy by turning off the power of the external detector. The signals from the ALARM terminal are processed both in the pulse and bistable modes.
• Always active — this mode should be used if there are any problems in the “Turned off when the hub is disarmed”. When the security system is armed, signals from the ALARM terminal are processed no more than once in three minutes in the pulse mode. If the bistable mode is selected, such signals are processed instantly.

If the “Always active” operating mode is selected for the module, the external detector is powered only in the “Always active” or the “Turned off when the hub disarmed” mode, regardless of the security system status.

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).

• Jeweller Signal Strength Test
• Attenuation Test

Connection of the Module to the wired detector
Location of the Transmitter determines its remoteness from the hub and presence of any obstacles between the devices hindering the radio signal transmission: walls, inserted floors, large-size objects located within the room.

Check the signal strength 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.

info

The maximum cable length for connecting the sensor is 150 m (24 AWG twisted pair). The value may vary when using different type of cable.

The function of the Transmitter’s terminals

+ — — power supply output (3.3 V)
ALARM — alarm terminals
TAMP — tamper terminals

IMPORTANT! Do not connect external power to the Transmitter’s power outputs. This may damage the device

Secure the Transmitter in the case. Plastic bars are included in the installation kit. It is recommendable to install the Transmitter on them.

The device does not require maintenance when mounted in the housing of a wired sensor.
