AJAX D2479781050 LeaksProtect Wireless Leakage Detector

LeaksProtect is a wireless leakage detector that noties both in case of a leak and when the water dries out. Developed only for indoor use.
LeaksProtect connects to the Ajax security system via the protected The communication range is up to 1300 meters in line of sight. Also, LeaksProtect can be  connected to third-party security systems using the integration modules. Ajax uartBridge Ajax Oxbridge Plus integration modules.

Users can congure LeaksProtect via the Ajax app for macOS, Windows, iOS, or Android. The system noties users of all events through push notications, SMS, and calls (if activated).
The user can connect the Ajax security system to the central monitoring station of a security company.

Functional Elements and Indication

1. LED indicator
2. Water sensor contacts
3. QR code with the device registration key
4. On/off button

Operating Principle
At the bottom of its body, LeaksProtect is equipped with four pairs of water- sensitive contacts. If at least one contact pair gets wet, the detector immediately transmits an alarm signal to the hub, notifying the user and security company. Also, the detector notices users if the water dries out.

When switched on, LeaksProtect is always active and monitors the situation regardless of the security mode: disarmed or armed.
If the leak is detected, LeaksProtect noties once, and the next alarm is transmitted when the contacts have dried out and gotten wet again.

Connecting the detector to the Ajax security system

Detector connection to hub

Before connecting:

1. Following the hub user manual, install the Ajax app . Create an account, add the hub to the app, and create at least one room.
2. Check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable and/or GSM network).
3. Check the hub status in the app: make sure that it is disarmed and does not update.

Only users with administrator rights can add the device to the hub.

How to pair the detector with hub

1. Select Add Device in the Ajax app.
2. Name the device, scan or enter 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.

LeaksProtect has a rigid “ON” button: press it with force to switch the detector on.

For the detection and pairing to occur, the device should be located within the wireless coverage area of the hub (at the same facility).
Request for connection is transmitted for a short time at the moment of switching on the device.
If the connection failed, LeaksProtect switches off after 6 seconds. To retry the connection, you do not need to reboot the device. If LeaksProtect is paired with another hub, switch the detector off, then retry the standard adding procedure.
The detector connected to the hub is displayed in the list of devices in the app. The update of the detector status in the list depends on the device inquiry time set in the hub settings (the default value is 36 seconds).

Connecting to the third-party security systems

To connect the detector to a third-party security central unit using the cartridge or Oxbridge plus integration module, follow the recommendations in the manual of the respective device.
The detector is always active. When connecting LeaksProtect to third-party security systems, it is appropriate to place the detector in a permanently active protection zone.

Functionality Testing

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 the hub settings).
Jeweler Signal Strength Test

Attenuation Test

Selecting the Location
When selecting the device location, please take into account its remoteness from the hub (up to 1300 meters) and the absence of any obstacles between the devices hindering the radio signal transmission: walls, doors, large objects located in the room.

warning: The device was developed only for indoor use.
warning: Check the Jeweller signal strength level at the installation place.

If the signal level is low (one bar), we cannot guarantee the stable operation of the device. Take all possible measures to improve the signal strength. At least, move the device: even a 20 cm shift can significantly improve the quality of signal reception.
If, after moving, the device still has a low or unstable signal strength, use the radio signal range extender.
Install LeaksProtect in the place of potential leakage: on the oor under the bath, sink, washing machine, etc.

Do not install the detector

• outside the premises (outdoors);
• nearby any metal objects or mirrors causing attenuation and screening of the signal;
• within any premises with the temperature beyond the range of permissible limit;
• on conductive surfaces;
• closer than 1 m to the hub.

Detector Testing
When the liquid gets on the detector contacts, it closes the electrical circuit. It is enough to close one contact pair to activate the alarm.

1. To check LeaksProtect, close one contact pair with a wet nger for 3 seconds (the delay prevents false triggering). If water is detected, the detector LED will light up red for 1 second.
2. Wipe the contacts with a dry napkin. When the electrical circuit is open, LeaksProtect switches on its LED red for 1 second and notices that water dried out.

If you drown the detector with soapy water, it may continue signaling after getting dry. The issue is about the soapy lm closes the contacts. To eliminate the problem, wipe the detector contacts with a napkin moistened with pure water and then dry them up.

Maintenance

Check the LeaksProtect operational capability on a regular basis. We recommend cleaning the detector contacts as it gets dirty, at least, once every 2-3 months. Use an alcohol solution for cleaning the contacts.
Clean the detector body from dust, spider webs and other contaminants as they appear: they can conduct electricity and cause false actuation. Use a soft dry napkin suitable for equipment maintenance.
Do not use any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline and other active solvents for cleaning the detector body. The batteries installed in the detector ensure up to 5 years of autonomous operation on the average (with the inquiry frequency by the hub of 1 minute). If the detector batteries are low, the security system sends the notification and the detector LED smoothly lights up and goes out green every hour, if the device is triggered.
To replace the batteries, turn off the detector, loosen the screws and remove the LeaksProtect front panel. Change the batteries with new ones type AAA, adhering to polarity. How long Ajax devices operate on batteries, and what affects this Battery replacement
