Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller user manual

Updated

Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller is a control panel of the Ajax system. It controls the operation of connected devices and interacts with users, PROs, and security companies.

Please note that Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller does not support some Ajax devices. Refer to the Ajax devices compatibility table for a detailed list of compatible devices.

Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller requires internet access to connect to the Ajax Cloud server. The available communication channels are Ethernet and a SIM card. Both Hub (2G) Jeweller and Hub (4G) Jeweller have identical technical characteristics and settings, differing only in the GSM modem. The 2G version supports only 2G networks, and the 4G version supports 4G (LTE) networks.

Use both communication channels to ensure more reliable communication between the hub and Ajax Cloud, if possible.

Connecting to Ajax Cloud is necessary for configuring and managing the system through Ajax apps, transferring notifications about alarms or events, and updating the software. All data on Ajax Cloud is stored under multilevel protection, and information is exchanged with the hub via an encrypted channel.

You can efficiently manage the system and quickly respond to alarms or notifications with iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows apps. Hub admin or PRO with the rights to configure the system can choose the events to inform users about and how to notify them — by push notifications or SMS.

  2. The SmartBracket mounting panel. Slide it down with force to remove it.

    Do not break off the perforated part of the mounting panel. It is required for actuating the tamper in case of any attempt to dismantle the hub.

  3. Power cable socket.
  4. Ethernet cable socket.
  5. Slot for the micro SIM.
  6. QR code.
  7. Tamper.
  8. Power button.
  9. Сable retainer clamp.

Operating principle

Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller monitors the system operation by communicating with added devices via the Jeweller encrypted protocol. The communication range is up to 2,000 m in an open space (for example, without walls, doors, or inter-floor constructions). If the detector is triggered, the system immediately raises the alarm, runs scenarios, and notifies the security company’s central monitoring station (CMS) and system users about the incident.

You can add up to 100 Ajax devices to the hub to protect the facility against intrusion, fire, and flooding. Control electrical appliances either automatically using scenarios or manually via Ajax apps.

Sabotage protection

Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller has two communication channels for connecting to the Ajax Cloud server: Ethernet and a SIM card. This allows you to connect the device to different communication providers simultaneously. If one communication channel becomes unavailable, the hub automatically switches to another and notifies the security company’s CMS and system users.

In case of interference at Jeweller frequencies or attempted jamming, the system seamlessly switches to an available radio frequency and sends notifications to the security company’s CMS and system users.

The hub regularly checks the communication quality with all added devices. If any device loses connection with the hub, a notification about the incident will be sent to all system users (depending on the settings) and the security company’s CMS.

No one can disconnect the hub unnoticed, even when the facility is disarmed. If an intruder attempts to dismount the device, it immediately triggers the tamper. System users and the security company will receive notifications about triggering.

The hub regularly checks the connection with the Ajax Cloud server. The polling interval is specified in the hub settings. By default, the server notifies users and the security company within 60 seconds after losing the connection.

The built-in backup battery ensures up to 15 hours of autonomous operation when the Ethernet connection is switched off. Due to this, the system continues to operate even if the power supply is cut off at the facility. To increase battery life or connect the hub to a 6 V⎓ or 12–24 V⎓ grid, use a power supply unit:

Hub (2G) Jeweller12V PSU for Hub/Hub Plus/ReX
Hub (4G) Jeweller6V PSU (type A), 12–24V PSU (type A)

OS Malevich

Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller is run by the real-time operating system OS Malevich. The system is immune to viruses and cyberattacks.

Video surveillance connection

Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller is compatible with Ajax cameras and NVRs and with third-party cameras that support RTSP protocol or SDK integration.

Cameras and NVRs that can be connected to Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller:

Devices Quantity
Ajax cameras via Ajax NVRs up to 224
Third-party cameras via Ajax NVRs using ONVIF up to 224
Standalone Ajax cameras up to 200
Standalone third-party cameras using RTSP or SDK up to 10

Automation scenarios

Use scenarios to automate the system and decrease the number of routine actions. Adjust the security schedule and program actions of automation devices in response to an alarm, Button press, or by schedule. A scenario can be created remotely in the Ajax app.

Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller doesn’t support scenarios by temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, and touching LightSwitch Jeweller.

LED indication

Hub has two LED indication modes:

  • Hub – Server Connection.
  • British Disco.

In case there are several states in the system, the indications are displayed consecutively in the same sequence as shown in the table.

Ajax account

To configure the system, install the Ajax app and create an account. Installers, security and monitoring companies use Ajax PRO accounts to configure the system for users.

There is no need to create a new account for each hub, as one account can manage multiple systems. Separate access rights can be configured for each hub if needed.

Both user and system settings, as well as parameters of connected devices are stored in the hub. Changing the hub admin, adding or removing users does not reset the settings of devices added to the hub.

Connecting the hub to Ajax Cloud

  1. Remove the SmartBracket mounting panel by shifting it down with force.
  2. Connect the power supply and Ethernet cables to the appropriate sockets.

    1 — Power cable socket.
    2 — Ethernet cable socket.
    3 — Slot for the micro SIM.
    4 — Cable retainer clamp.

  3. Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds until the logo lights up. The hub needs approximately 2 minutes to identify the available communication channels.

The bright green or white logo color indicates that the hub is connected to Ajax Cloud.

If the Ethernet connection does not occur automatically, disable proxy and filtration by MAC addresses and enable DHCP in the router settings — the hub will receive an IP address. During the next setup, you will be able to set a static IP address in Ajax apps.

To connect the hub to the GSM network, you need a micro SIM card with a disabled PIN code request (you can disable it using the mobile phone) and a sufficient amount of funds on the account to pay for the GPRS, and SMS services.

In some regions, Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller is sold with the Ajax SIM card or a third-party SIM card.

If the hub is not connected to the cellular network, use Ethernet to set up the network parameters: roaming, APN access point, username, and password. Contact your telecom operator to find out these options.

Setting up keypad passwords for people who are not registered in the system.

Hub (2G) Jeweller does not support access codes.

With the OS Malevich 2.13.1 update, we have also added the ability to create a password for people who are not connected to the hub. This is convenient, for example, to provide a cleaning company with access to security management. Knowing the access code, you just need to enter it on the Ajax keypad to arm or disarm the system.

To set up an access code for an unregistered person in the system:

  1. Press Add code.
  2. Set up Username and Access Code.
  3. Press Add.

If you want to set up a duress code, change an access code, settings for access to groups, Night mode, code ID, temporarily disable or delete this code, select it in the list, and make changes.

The created access codes are valid for all keypads connected to the hub. Hub (4G) Jeweller supports up to 50 access codes.

Settings for scheduled arming/disarming of the system.

Starts the detection zone test for connected detectors. This test determines whether the detectors operate correctly and defines the distance at which they detect alarms.

Configure the hub – detector ping interval. The settings determine how frequently the hub communicates with devices and how quickly the loss of connection is detected.

  • Detector ping interval, sec — determines the frequency of connected devices polling by the hub. The shorter interval (in seconds) means faster delivery of the events between the hub and connected devices (36 seconds by default).
  • Number of missed pings to determine connection failure — a counter of undelivered packets (8 packets by default).

The time before raising the alarm by the communication loss between hub and device is calculated with the following formula:

Detector ping interval × Number of missed pings to determine connection failure

It is important to keep in mind that the reduction in the polling interval reduces the bundled battery life.

Note that the ping interval reduces the maximum number of connected devices:

Detector Ping Interval Connection limit
12 seconds 39 devices
24 seconds 79 devices
36 and more seconds 100 devices

Irrespective of the settings, you can connect up to 10 sirens or keypads with a built-in buzzer and 1 range extender to the hub.

Group of hub service settings. These are divided into 2 groups: general settings and advanced settings.

General settings

LED brightness

Adjustment of the hub logo LED backlight brightness. Set in the range of 1 to 10. The default value is 10.

Firmware update

The menu contains the hub firmware update settings.

  • Firmware auto-update configures automatic OS Malevich updates (enabled by default):
    • If enabled, the firmware is automatically updated when a new version is available. The system should be disarmed, and external power should be connected to the hub.
    • If disabled, the system does not update automatically. If a new firmware version is available, the app will offer to update the OS Malevich.
  • Check for new version allows manually checking and installing firmware updates when available or assigned to the hub. This option is available only when the Firmware auto-update setting is enabled.

Hub system logging

Logs are files containing information about system operation. They can help sort out the problem in case of errors or failures.

The setting allows you to select the transmission channel for the hub logs or disable their recording:

  • Ethernet
  • Off

We do not recommend disabling logs, as this information may be helpful in the event of errors in the operation of the system.

Delaying notifications of external power loss

Hub (2G) Jeweller does not support this feature.

Settings for the delay time when sending an external power loss notification.

You can select a delay time from 1 minute to 1 hour with a selection interval of 1 minute.

Available for Hub (4G) Jeweller with OS Malevich 2.22 or later.

‘While hub offline’ events amount

Events during communication failure with the server are recorded in the hub buffer and will be delivered to Ajax apps after the connection is restored.

This setting allows you to choose the number of the last events, that hub will send to Ajax apps after returning online.

You can select between 100 (default value) and 1000 events with increment of 50 events.

Server connection

The menu contains settings for communication between the hub and Ajax Cloud:

  • Delay of server connection failure alarm, sec. It is a delay to reduce the risk of a false alarm associated with the Ajax Cloud server connection loss. It is activated after 3 unsuccessful hub – server polls. The delay is set in the range of 30 to 600 s. The recommended default value is 300 s.
  • Hub-server polling interval, sec. Frequency of sending pings from the hub to the Ajax Cloud server. It is set in the range of 10 to 300 s. The recommended default value is 60 s.

The time to generate a message regarding the loss of communication between the hub and the Ajax Cloud server is calculated using the following formula:

(Ping interval × 3) + Time filter.

With the default settings, Ajax Cloud reports the hub loss in 8 minutes:

(60 s × 3) + 300 s = 8 min.

  • Get notified of server connection loss without alarm. Ajax apps can notify about the hub – server communication loss in two ways: with a standard push notification signal or with a siren sound (enabled by default). When the option is active, the notification comes with a standard push notification signal.
  • Notify of connection loss over channels. A system can notify both the users and the security company about the loss of connection, even via one of the communication channels.

In this menu, you can choose the connection loss of which channels will be reported by the system, as well as the delay for sending such notifications:

  • Ethernet
  • Cellular
  • Loss notification delay, min — time of the delay before sending the notification about loss of connection via one of the communication channels. Set in the range from 3 to 30 minutes.

The time of sending a notification about the loss of connection via one of the communication channels is calculated with the formula:

(Polling interval * 4) + Time filter + Loss notification delay

Sounds and alerts

The menu contains siren activation parameters.

Alert with a siren

  • If lid of hub or any detector is open. If enabled, the hub activates connected sirens in case the lid of the hub, detector, or any other Ajax device is open.
  • If in-app panic button is pressed. If enabled, the hub activates connected sirens if the panic button is pressed in the Ajax app.

Fire detectors settings

Menu of the Ajax fire detectors settings. Allows configuring Interconnected Fire Detectors Alarm.

The feature is recommended by European fire standards, which require a warning signal power of at least 85 dB at 3 meters from the sound source in the event of a fire. Such sound power wakes up even a soundly sleeping person during a fire. Using the Ajax app, Button, or KeyPad, you can quickly disable triggered fire detectors.

System integrity check

The System Integrity Check is a parameter responsible for checking the status of all security detectors and devices before arming. Checking is disabled by default.

Alarm confirmation

This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.

Alarm confirmation is a special event that the hub sends to the CMS and system users if several certain devices have triggered within a specified period of time. By responding to confirmed alarms only, the security and monitoring companies and the police reduce the number of visits to false alarms.

Restoration after alarm

This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.

The feature does not allow arming the system if an alarm has been registered previously. For arming, the system should be restored by an authorized user or a PRO user. The types of alarms that require system restoration are defined when configuring the function.

The function eliminates situations when the user arms the system with detectors that generate false alarms.

Arming/disarming process

This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.

The menu allows enabling arming in two stages, as well as setting Alarm Transmission Delay for the system disarming process.

Devices auto deactivation

This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.

The Ajax system can ignore alarms or other events of devices without removing them from the system. Under certain settings, notifications about specific device events will not be sent to the CMS and system users.

There are three types of Devices auto deactivation: by timer, by number of alarms, and by number of similar events.

It is also possible to manually disable a specific device. Learn more about deactivating devices manually here.

LED indication

This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.

In this menu, you can select the system states and events that the hub’s LED indicators will display. One of two functions can be chosen:

  • Hub-Server Connection — hub’s LEDs display if a hub is connected to the power supply and the internet.
  • British Disco — hub’s LEDs display information about system alerts and malfunctions, security mode changes, and delays when entering/leaving.

After-alarm indication

Select events that sirens or keypads with in-built LED will indicate with regular double flashing until the system is disarmed.

  • Confirmed intrusion/hold-up alarm.

  2. Go to the Control tab.
  3. Go to Settings by tapping the gear icon in the bottom right corner.
  4. Set the required parameters.
  5. Tap Back to save the new settings.

Installation

Hub (2G) / (4G) Jeweller is intended for indoor installation only.

Before installing the hub, make sure that you have selected the optimal location: the SIM card demonstrates consistent signal reception, all the devices are tested for radio communication, and the hub is hidden from direct view.

When installing and operating the device, follow the general electrical safety rules for using electrical appliances and the requirements of electrical safety regulations.

The hub should be reliably attached to the surface (vertical or horizontal). We do not recommend using double-sided adhesive tape: it cannot guarantee secure attachment and simplifies the removal of the device.

Do not place the hub:

  • outside the premises (outdoors);
  • nearby or inside any metal objects that cause attenuation and shielding of the radio signal;
  • in places with a weak GSM signal;
  • close to radio interference sources: less than 1 meter from the router and power cables;
  • in premises with temperature and humidity over the permissible limits.

To install the hub:

  1. Fix the SmartBracket mounting panel on the surface using bundled screws. When using other fixing accessories, ensure they do not damage or deform the hub lid.
  2. Fix the power and Ethernet cables with the supplied cable retainer clamp and screws. Use cables with a diameter no larger than the supplied ones. The cable retainer clamp must fit tightly to the cables so the hub lid closes easily.

    The cable retainer clamp helps to prevent sabotage — the power and Ethernet cables will not be pulled out on purpose.

  3. Put the hub on the SmartBracket mounting panel and fix it with bundled screws.

Do not flip the hub when attaching vertically (for instance, on a wall). When properly fixed, the Ajax logo can be read horizontally.

Fixing the hub on the SmartBracket mounting panel with screws prevents any accidental shifting of the hub and minimizes the risk of device theft.

If the hub is firmly fixed, the attempt to tear it off triggers the tamper, and the system sends a notification.

Adding devices

During the first hub registration in the app, you will be prompted to add devices to protect the room. However, you can refuse and return to this step later.

An admin or PRO with the rights to configure the system can add the device only when the system is disarmed.

  1. Open the Ajax app. Select the space if you have several of them or if you are using a PRO Ajax app.
  2. Go to the Rooms tab.
  3. Open the room and select the Add Device option.
  4. Name the device, scan the QR code (or enter the ID manually), select the room, and go to the next step.
  5. When the app starts searching and launches countdown, switch on the device: its LED will flash once. For detection and pairing to occur, the device should be located within the coverage area of the wireless network of the hub (at a single protected facility).

If the connection fails on the first try, switch off the device for 5 seconds and retry.

Hub settings reset

To reset the hub to the factory settings:

  1. Turn on the hub if it is off.
  2. Remove all users and installers from the hub.
  3. Hold the power button for 30 seconds, and the Ajax logo on the hub will start flashing red.
  4. Remove the hub from your account.

All the connected detectors, room settings, and user settings will be deleted. User profiles will remain connected to the system.

Maintenance

Check the operational capability of the Ajax system regularly. The optimal frequency of checks is once every three months. Clean the hub enclosure from dust, cobwebs, and other contaminants as they emerge. Use a soft and dry cloth that is suitable for equipment care.

Do not use any substances containing alcohol, acetone, petrol, or other active solvents for cleaning the hub.

If the hub battery becomes faulty, and you need to replace it, use the following guidance:
