MotionProtect (MotionProtect Plus) operates within the Ajax security system,
connected to the hub via the protected Jeweller protocol. The communication
range is up to 1700 (MotionProtect Plus up to 1200) meters in the line of
sight. In addition, the detector can be used as a part of third-party security
central units via the Ajax uartBridge or Ajax ocBridge Plus integration
modules.The detector is set up via the Ajax app for iOS, Android, macOS and
Windows. The systemnoties user of all events through push notications, SMS and
calls (if activated).
The Ajax security system is self-sustaining, but the user can connect it to
the central monitoring station of a security company.

Operating Principle
Thermal PIR sensor of Motion Protect detects intrusion into protected room by
detecting moving objects whose temperature is close to the temperature of the
human body. However, the detector can ignore domestic animals if the suitable
sensitivity has been chosen in the settings.
When the MotionProtect Plus detects motion, it will additionally carry out
radio frequency scanning of the room, preventing false actuation from thermal
interferences: air ows from sun-heated curtains and louvre shutters, operating
thermal air fans, replaces, air conditioning units, etc.
After actuation, the armed detector immediately transmits an alarm signal to
the hub, activating the sirens and notifying the user and security company.
If before arming the system, the detector has detected motion, it will not arm
immediately, but during the next inquiry by the hub.
Connecting the Detector to the Ajax Security System
Connecting the Detector to the hub
Before starting connection:
- Following the hub manual recommendations, install the add the hub to the application, and create at least one room.
- Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet and/or GSM network).
- Make sure that the hub is disarmed and does not update by checking its status in the app.
How to connect the detector to the hub:
-
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.
-
Select Add — the countdown will begin.
-
Switch on the device.
For detection and pairing to occur, the detector should be located within the
coverage 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
moment of switching on the device.
If the detector failed to connect to the hub, switch off the detector for 5
seconds and retry.
The connected detector will appear in the devices list in the application.
Update of the detector statuses in the list depends on the device inquiry time
set in the hub settings(default value is 36 seconds).
Connecting the Detector to Third Party security systems
To connect the detector to a third party security central unit with the
integration module, follow the recommendations in the manuals of these
devices.

Detector Testing
The Ajax security system allows conducting tests for checking the
functionality of connected devices.
The tests do not start immediately but within a period of 36 seconds when
using the standard settings. The time of the start depends on the settings of
the detector polling period (the paragraph on Jeweller settings in the hub
settings).

Selection of the Detector Location
The controlled area and the eciency of the security system depends on the
location of the detector.
Location of Motion Protect depends on the remoteness from the hub and presence of any obstacles between the devices hindering the radio signal transmission: walls, insertedoors, large-size objects located within the room.
If the signal level is at one bar, we cannot guarantee stable operation of the security system. Take all possible measures to improve the quality of the signal! As a minimum, move the device – even 20 cm shift can signicantly improve the quality of reception.If after moving the device still has a low or unstable signal strength, use the range extender.
Make sure that any furniture, domestic plants, vases, decorative or glass
structures do not block the eld of view of the detector.
We recommend installing the detector at the height of 2,4 meters.
If the detector is not installed at the recommended height, this will reduce
the area of the motion detection zone and impair the operation of the function
of ignoring animals.
Why motion detectors react to animals and how to avoid it
Installation of the Detector
The Ajax MotionProtect detector (MotionProtect Plus) should be attached to a vertical surface or in the corner.
- Attach the SmartBracket panel to the surface using bundled screws, using at least two xing points (one of them – above the tamper). After selecting other attachment screws, make sure that they do not damage or deform the panel.The double-sided adhesive tape may only be used for temporary attachment of the detector. The tape will run dry in the course of time, which may result in the falling of the detector and actuation of the security system. Furthermore, hitting can damage the device.
- Put the detector on the attachment panel. When the detector is xed in SmartBracket, it will blink with an LED – this will be a signal that the tamper on the detector is closed.If the LED indicator of the detector is not actuated after installation in SmartBracket, check the status of the tamper in the Ajax Security System application panel. If the detector is torn off from the surface or removed from the attachment panel, you will receive the notification.
Do not install the detector:
- outside the premises (outdoors)
- in the direction of the window, when the detector lens is exposed to direct sunlight (you can install MotionProtect Plus)
- opposite any object with the rapidly changing temperature (e.g., electrical and gas heaters)(you can install MotionProtect Plus)
- opposite any moving objects with a temperature close to that of the human body (oscillating curtains above the radiator) (you can install MotionProtect Plus)
- at any places with fast air circulation (air fans, open windows or doors) (you can install MotionProtect Plus)
- nearby any metal objects or mirrors causing attenuation and screening of the signal
- within any premises with the temperature and humidity beyond the range of permissible limits
- closer than 1 m from the hub.
Detector Maintenance
Check the operational capability of the Ajax MotionProtect detector on a
regular basis.
Clean the detector body from dust, spider webs and other contaminants as they
appear. Use soft dry napkin suitable for equipment maintenance.
Do not use any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline and other
active solvents for cleaning the detector. Wipe the lens very carefully and
gently – any scratches on the plastic may cause reduction of the detector
sensitivity.
The pre-installed battery ensures up to 5 years of autonomous operation (with
the inquiry frequency by the hub of 3 minutes). If the detector battery is
discharged, the security system will send respective notices and the LED will
smoothly lights up and goes out, if the detector detects any motion or if the
tamper is actuated.
