Operating principle
00:00
00:14
LightSwitch Jeweller is a smart touch light switch. It controls the lighting in three ways: manually, through smartphone and PC apps, and using Automation Scenarios.
The device is installed without changing the electrical wiring of the object. The device does not require a neutral wire and works only from the supply phase.
The switch can control 5 to 600 W lighting devices. The kit includes a capacitor connected in parallel with the lighting device for low-power lamps. See the installation section of this manual for details.
LightSwitch frame has a LED backlight. The backlight is not bright, so it will not disturb users even if the device is installed near a bed. If necessary, a PRO or user with administrator rights can disable the backlight in Ajax apps.
The product line of devices includes 1gang, 2gang, and 2way light switches:
1gang — control one lighting line (one lamp). 2gang — control two lighting
lines (two lamps). 2way — control one light source from several seats.
If necessary, LightSwitch can also control other devices. For example, one of
the buttons can control the light, and the other one — room ventilation.
Manual control
LightSwitch allows controlling lighting when a hand is 15 millimetres away
from the switch or when touching the touch-sensitive panel of the switch.
Contactless control does not limit the possibility of use, even if hands are
dirty or wet. The
sensor reacts under any conditions. Therefore, the switch can be installed in
crowded places: restaurants, factories, and o ces. The LightSwitch sensor
instantly reads the signal and transforms it into an electric pulse. LightCore
receives this pulse and activates a relay that switches on/off the lighting
device or another connected load, such as a cooker hood. The entire
LightSwitch panel is touch sensitive. Therefore, the lighting can be
controlled by pressing or reaching any part of the touch-sensitive panel with
a hand.
Remote control
Control via the app LightSwitch can be used to control lighting manually and
remotely through Ajax apps.
Press the switch in the LightSwitch eld in the Devices menu in the Ajax app,
and the state of the switch contacts will change to the opposite; lighting
will be switched off or on. This way, system users can remotely control the
lighting. For example, switch on the light in the room in advance before
entering the room.
The lighting also can be controlled in the Control menu. To do this, go to the
Control menu and swipe up. All control devices added to the hub will appear in
the list. Click on the switch in the LightSwitch eld, and the state of the
device’s contacts will change to the opposite. The lighting will switch on or
off.
Automation scenarios
00:00
00:07
Scenarios help automate security and reduce the number of routine actions. For example, set the lights to switch on by the schedule or when disarming the security system.
LightSwitch supports the following types of scenarios:
By alarm. By arming/disarming. By schedule. By Button pressing. By
temperature. By humidity. By CO2 concentration. By LightSwitch pressing.
Scenarios by humidity and CO2 concentration are available when LifeQuality is
added to the system.
More about scenarios
Operation modes
LightSwitch can operate in one of two modes: bistable or pulse. The operating
mode is set by a user with admin or PRO rights in Ajax apps in the device
settings. By default, LightSwitch works in bistable mode. When controlling the
lighting, it switches on or off. When working in pulse mode, the lighting can
be switched on for the required time: from 10 seconds to 2 hours. This mode is
useful, for example, if a user needs to switch on the lighting in the corridor
for 5 minutes when disarming the security system.
Types of electrical protection of the switch
LightSwitch has two independent types of protection: current and temperature.
Current protection is activated if the load current on the switch is 2.6 A or
more. If the protection triggers, LightSwitch switches off power and sends a
noti cation to Ajax apps. At the same time, the switch itself begins to ash
red every second.
The power supply is not automatically restored when this protection is
triggered. It can be reset by clicking on the toggle in the Ajax app or on the
touch panel of the switch.
Temperature protection triggers if the temperature of the switch is greater
than +60°C. If this protection triggers, LightSwitch turns off power and sends
a noti cation to Ajax apps. The power supply resumes automatically when the
switch temperature returns to normal.
Detection of lighting devices with insu cient power
LightSwitch regularly measures the switching current. If LightSwitch controls
the power of a lighting device with insu cient power (up to 5 W), the system
will notify the users of the Ajax system. In this case, it is necessary to
replace the lighting device with a similar one with higher capacity or to
connect a bundled capacitor in parallel with the lighting device.
Jeweller data transfer protocol
Jeweller is a radio protocol for fast and reliable two-way communication
between a hub and connected devices. The protocol provides a range of wireless
radio communication between LightSwitch and the hub (or range extender) up to
1,100 meters. This communication range allows installing switches not only in
ats or private houses but also in open spaces or large warehouses.
Jeweller is responsible for transmitting all the necessary information and
providing instant control of any number of LightSwitch devices in the system.
Thanks to Jeweller, users can always control the light and see the current
state of switches in Ajax apps at any time.
Jeweller supports block encryption with a oating key and authentication of
devices at each communication session to prevent sabotage or device spoo ng.
The protocol involves regular polling of system devices by the hub at
intervals of 12 to 300 seconds (depending on the Jeweller or Jeweller/Fibra
settings) to monitor communication with all devices and shows their statuses
in the Ajax apps.
More about Jeweller
Sending events to the monitoring station
The Ajax security system can transmit events and alarms to the PRO Desktop
monitoring app as well as the Central Monitoring Station (CMS) via SurGard
(Contact ID), SIA DC-09 (ADM-CID), ADEMCO 685, and other protocols.
Which CMSs are compatible with the Ajax security system
Only events of lost connection between the switch and the hub (or range
extender) are transmitted to the CMS. No other events are sent to third-party
monitoring stations of security or monitoring companies. Use PRO Desktop to
receive all switch events on the CMS.
Temperature or current protection triggering events are not sent to PRO
Desktop as alarms.
The addressability of Ajax devices allows sending to PRO Desktop or to CMS not
only events but also the type of the device, its assigned name, security
group, and room. The list of transmitted parameters may vary depending on the
selected communication protocol with the CMS. The largest amount of
information is transmitted to the PRO Desktop CMS.
The switch ID and loop (zone) number can be found in their states in the Ajax
app.
Selecting the installation site
LightSwitch is designed to t into standard sub-sockets of the European form
factor (55). The device should be connected to the power phase cable for
proper operation. Connecting the zero power cable is not required.
Do not connect the zero power cable to LightSwtich. This can damage the
device.
When installing LightSwitch, consider the Jeweller signal strength. It is
determined by the ratio of the number of undelivered or corrupted data
packages to those expected that are exchanged between the switch and the hub
or range extender over a certain period.
The signal strength is indicated by the icon in the Devices menu. The signal
strength is also indicated in the switch states.
Signal strength value:
Three bars — excellent signal strength. Two bars — good signal strength. One
bar — low signal strength. Stable operation is not guaranteed. Crossed out
icon — no signal. Stable operation is not guaranteed.
Check the Jeweller signal strength at the installation site. The switch should
have a signal strength of two or three bars. To roughly calculate the signal
strength at the place of installation, use a radio communication range
calculator.
With a signal strength of one or zero bars, the stable operation of the switch
is not guaranteed. Use the radio signal range extender if the selected
installation site has a signal strength of fewer than two bars.
Do not install the switch
Outdoors. The device has an IP20 protection class. This may result in device
failure or incorrect operation.
On metal structures. This can lead to incorrect operation of the sensor: it
may not respond to pressing or give false triggerings.
In rooms with humidity and temperature that are outside the permissible
limits. Doing so may cause the device to malfunction or not work properly. The
operating temperature range is from 10 to +40°C. The permissible humidity is
up to 75% without condensation.
In places with low or unstable signal strength. This may result in a loss of
communication between the hub (or range extender) and the switch.
Installation
Only a quali ed electrician or installer should install LightSwitch. Do not
switch on power at the switches before installing the touch-sensitive panels.
Also, do not try to register the device before installing the touch-sensitive
panel, as it contains antennas necessary for communication with the hub.
Before installing the switch, ensure that the optimal location has been
selected and that it complies with the requirements of this manual. When
installing and operating the device, follow the general electrical safety
rules for using electrical appliances and the requirements of electrical
safety regulations. For connection, use cables with a cross-section
recommended by the manufacturer of the lighting device. LightSwitch cannot be
connected to electric circuits with a load exceeding 600 W. The device does
not require a neutral wire and works only from the supply phase. After
installing and connecting the switch, be sure to run the Jeweller signal
strength test and check the operation of the device: how it responds to touch,
and whether it switches on/off the lights.
The installed touch-sensitive panel can be removed from LightSwitch with a at
screwdriver. To complete this, insert it into the hole from below and turn the
screwdriver.

Adding to the system
Before adding a device
1. Install the Ajax app. 2. Create an account if you don’t have one. 3. Add a
hub compatible with the switch to the app. Set the required settings
and create at least one virtual room. 4. Make sure that the hub is on and has
Internet access via Ethernet, Wi-Fi,
and/or mobile network. This can be done in the Ajax app or by looking at the
LED indicator of the hub: it should light up white or green. 5. Make sure the
hub is not updated and not disarmed by checking its status of the Ajax app.
A PRO or user with admin rights can connect LightSwitch to the hub.
Connecting to the hub
Do not switch on power at the switches before installing the touch-sensitive
panels. Also, do not try to register the device before installing the touch-
sensitive panel, as it contains antennas necessary for communication with the
hub.
LightSwitch should be within the coverage area of the hub’s radio network to
connect to the hub. To work via the radio signal range extender, connect the
LightSwitch with the hub and then connect the device to the range extender.
This can be done in the range extender settings. The detailed instructions can
be found in the manual for the relevant range extender.
The hub and the switch operating at different frequencies are incompatible.
The radio frequency range of the device may vary by region. We recommend
buying and using Ajax devices in the same region. Please contact Technical
Support for information on the operating frequency range.
LightSwitch only works with one hub. When connected to a new hub, the switch
stops sending commands to the old one. When added to a new hub, the switch is
not removed from the device list of the old hub. This must be done through the
Ajax app.
To connect LightSwitch to the hub:
1. Install LightSwitch if you haven’t done so before.
2. Open the Ajax app.
3. Select the hub if you have several of them or using the Ajax PRO app.
4. Go to the Devices tab and click Add device.
5. Enter the name of the device.
6. Scan the QR code of the device or enter the ID manually. QR code is
located on the rear panel of LightCore, the front panel of LightCore, and the
device packaging. The device ID can be found below the QR code.
7. Select the virtual room and security group (if the group mode is enabled).
8. Click Add — the countdown will begin.
If the maximum number of devices is added to the hub, when you try to add the
switch in the Ajax app, you will get a noti cation about exceeding the device
limit. The number of devices that can be connected to the hub depends on the
central unit model and the Jeweller (or Jeweller/Fibra) settings.
9. In a few seconds, LightSwitch will appear in the list of hub devices.
Refreshing the device statuses in the list depends on the Jeweller (or
Jeweller/Fibra) settings. The default value is 36 seconds.
If the connection fails, try again in 5 seconds. But this time, during the
countdown, press and hold the switch button for at least 3 seconds. If adding
a 2-gang switch, press either button.
Functionality testing
After installation, test the operation of the switch: how it reacts to touch
and whether it switches on/off the light.
Ajax security system provides several tests to select the location of devices
correctly. Tests do not start immediately. However, the waiting time does not
exceed the duration of one “hub–device” ping interval. The default value is 36
seconds. The device ping interval can be changed in the Jeweller (or
Jeweller/Fibra) menu in the hub settings.
The Jeweller signal strength test is available for LightSwitch. The test
allows for determining the strength and stability of the signal at the
installation site.
To run a test in the Ajax app:
1. Select the hub if you have several of them or using a PRO app. 2. Go to

LED indication
LightSwitch has a backlight that makes the switch visible in the dark. If the
frame of the device is backlit, the light is off. When the light is on, the
frame is not backlit. The backlight is not bright, so it will not disturb
users even if the device is installed near a bed. The backlight can be turned
off in the Ajax app if necessary. If the temperature or current protection of
LightSwitch has been triggered, or the touch-sensitive panel removed, the
switch ashes red every second.
Malfunctions
When a device identi es a fault (for example, there is no connection with the
hub), the Ajax app displays a fault counter in the device eld. All
malfunctions are shown in switch states. Fields with malfunctions will be
highlighted in red. A malfunction is displayed if:
Current protection was activated. Temperature protection was activated. A
device with insu cient power is connected. An insu cient power supply is
detected. There is no connection between LightSwitch and the hub (or range
extender).
What to do in case of connection loss with the device
LightSwitch may lose connection with the hub for the following reasons: Power
is no longer supplied.
The touch-sensitive panel has been removed (it has antennas on it, which are
necessary for communication with the hub or range extender). The lighting
device is faulty (for example, the incandescent lamp burned out). A device
with insu cient power (up to 5 W) is connected. LightSwitch malfunction.
If an event is received about the loss of communication with the switch, the
installer should check:
1. Power supplied on LightSwitch. 2. The presence of a touch-sensitive panel
on the switch. 3. The operability of the lighting device.
If LightSwitch controls a lighting device with insu cient power (up to 5 W),
it is necessary to replace the lighting device with a similar one with a
higher power or connect a bundled capacitor in parallel with the lighting
device.
Maintenance
Check the functioning of the switch regularly. Clean the enclosure from dust,
cobwebs, and other contaminants as they emerge. Use a soft dry cloth suitable
for equipment care. Do not use substances that contain alcohol, acetone,
petrol, and other active solvents to clean the device.
