MotionProtect/ MotionProtect Plus
MotionProtect is a wireless motion detector designed for indoor use. It can
operate for up to 5 years from an in-built battery, and monitors the area
within 12-meter radius. MotionProtect ignores animals, while recognizes a
human from the rst step.
MotionProtect Plus uses radio frequency scanning along with a thermal sensor,
ltering interference from thermal radiation. Can operate up to 5 years from an
in-built battery.

MotionProtect (MotionProtect Plus) operates within the Ajax security
system, connected to the via the protected hub 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 Ajax ocBridge Plus or
integration modules.
The detector is set up via the Ajax app for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows.
The system noties 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 MotionProtect detects intrusion into protected room by
detecting moving objects whose temperature is close to the temperature of the
human body. However, thedetector 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 ws from sunheated 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 ystem, 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 Ajax application Create an account, 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.
Only users with administrator rights can add the device to the hub
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 ettings(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
uartBridge ocBridge Plus or integration module, follow the recommendations in
the manuals of these devices.

Before using the detector as a part of the security system, set up the
suitable sensitivity level.
Switch the Always Active if the detector is located in a room requiring
24-hour control. Regardless of whether the system is set in the armed mode,
you will receive notices of ny detected motion.
If any motion is detected, the detector activates the LED for 1 second and
transmits an alarm signal to the hub and then to the user and central
monitoring station (if it is connected).

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 eriod (the paragraph on Jeweller settings in the hub
settings).

Device installation
Selection of the Detector Location
The controlled area and the eciency of the security system depends on the
location of the detector.
The device developed only for indoor use.
Location of MotionProtect depends on the remoteness from the hub and presence
of any\obstacles between the devices hindering the radio signal transmission:
walls, inserted oors, large-size objects located within the room.
Check the signal level at the installation location
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, ove 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 ReX radio signal range extende.
The direction of the detector lens should be perpendicular to the probable way
of intrusion into the room
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
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
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 and then the ing ightness of the panel.If the detector is torn
off from the surface or removed from the attachment panel, you will receive
the notication.
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 ppear. sesoft 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.
