How to set up the ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019 compliant system

Hub settings

To set up the SIA CP-01 compliant system, you need to enable the SIA CP-01 mode in the hub settings.

1. In the Ajax PRO app, go to:
   • Hub → Settings → Service → Arming/Disarming Process
2. Go to the Compliance with Standard setting.
3. Select ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019.
4. Click Save to enable the SIA CP-01 mode.

Once the SIA CP-01 mode is enabled, you can configure the SIA CP-01 related settings, such as Exit Time Restart and Unvacated Premises. Also, it is possible to select what devices should make an annunciation on Alarm Cancellation or Alarm Abort and adjust the Alarm Abort Window timeout. Refer to the following sections to set up and configure the mentioned settings.

Exit Time Restart

The Exit Time Restart feature is intended to start Delay When Leaving again if the user opens the exit door twice before the exit time expires. This feature reduces the number of false alarms during an exit procedure when the user arms the system, leaves the premises, and returns to the premises.

The Exit Time Restart feature is enabled by default; however, you can adjust it if necessary.

Unvacated Premises

The Unvacated Premises feature checks whether the exit door was open during the exit delay. If not, the system automatically switches to Night Mode after Delay When Leaving expires. This feature reduces the number of false alarms if the user arms the system and does not leave the premises.

The Unvacated Premises feature is enabled by default; however, you can adjust it if necessary.

Entry/Exit devices

To comply with SIA CP-01, the Delay When Entering/Leaving time ranges should be set up for all Entry/Exit devices.

Delay When Leaving

SIA CP-01 requires setting up the Delay When Leaving time within a range from 45 to 255 seconds. Once the SIA CP-01 mode is enabled, the system will set 60 seconds for Delay When Leaving by default for all Entry/Exit devices.

You can adjust the Delay When Leaving setting if necessary.

Delay When Entering

SIA CP-01 requires setting up the Delay When Entering time within a range from 30 to 255 seconds. Once the SIA CP-01 mode is enabled, the system will set 30 seconds for Delay When Entering by default for all Entry/Exit devices.

You can adjust the Delay When Entering setting if necessary.

Progress annunciation

To comply with SIA CP-01, various progress annunciation beeps by sirens should be possible to set up for Entry/Exit Delays. There is the usual beep on delay, the fast beep on delay expiration, and the ability to mute beep while you are entering a passcode on the keypad.

Progress annunciation features are available for the following sirens:

• HomeSiren S Jeweller and HomeSiren Jeweller with firmware versions from 5.60.4 to 6.0.0.0 and from 6.56.3.37 or higher.
• StreetSiren Jeweller, StreetSiren S DoubleDeck Jeweller, and StreetSiren DoubleDeck Jeweller with firmware versions from 5.60.5 to 6.0.0.0 and from 6.56.1.57 or higher.

The HomeSiren S Jeweller and StreetSiren S DoubleDeck Jeweller sirens are not certified according to SIA CP-01.

Beep on Delays

An Ajax system allows you to configure beep on Entry/Exit Delays announced by Ajax sirens. This feature is configured in the sirens’ settings:

• HomeSiren S Jeweller
• HomeSiren Jeweller
• StreetSiren Jeweller
• StreetSiren S DoubleDeck Jeweller
• StreetSiren DoubleDeck Jeweller

Fast beep on Entry/Exit Delay expiration

The Fast beep on Entry/Exit Delay expiration feature is intended to notify the user that the Delay When Entering/Leaving time is running out. There are 4 options to choose from when the fast beep should start:

• Never
• Last 5 seconds
• Last 10 seconds (SIA CP-01 recommended)
• Last 15 seconds

Mute the device when code on keypad is being entered

The Mute the device when code on keypad is being entered feature mutes the annunciation beeps once the user starts entering a passcode on the keypad. This feature allows users to focus on the system disarming.

You can enable the Mute the device when code on keypad is being entered feature in the siren settings.

Keypad settings

An Ajax system provides two functions that decrease the number of actions while disarming the system. These functions provide keypad auto waking and allow disarming the system by entering a passcode without pressing any additional keys.

KeyPad Plus Jeweller with firmware version 5.60.7 or higher is compatible with the SIA CP-01 requirements.

Easy Armed Mode Change

The Disarm without disarming button feature allows disarming the system without pressing the Disarm button on the keypad after entering a passcode or using an access device.

A fixed passcode length should be set for the system in the hub settings using the Ajax PRO app.

To set up Easy Armed Mode Change in the Ajax PRO app:

1. Select the required hub.
2. Go to the Devices tab.
3. Select the required keypad and go to:
   • Settings → Easy Armed Mode Change
4. Select the Disarm without disarming button option.
5. Click Back to apply the changes.

Auto-wake on Delay when Entering

The Auto-wake on Delay when Entering feature allows automatically activating KeyPad Plus Jeweller when Delay When Entering is set up.

The combination of the Easy Armed Mode Change and Auto-wake on Delay when Entering features allow users to disarm the system by a smooth single-step procedure without experiencing false alarms. Just open an entry door and enter a passcode or use an access device without additional actions. The system will be disarmed after entering the valid passcode.

Manual alarms

DoubleButton Jeweller, Button S Jeweller, Button Jeweller, Ajax SpaceControl Jeweller could be used to generate manual alarms.

DoubleButton Jeweller has two separate physical buttons that should be pressed simultaneously to generate a hold-up alarm.

Button S Jeweller, Button Jeweller, and Ajax SpaceControl Jeweller have the Accidental Press Protection option:

• Button accidental press protection
• Ajax SpaceControl accidental press protection

To make Button S Jeweller, Button Jeweller, and Ajax SpaceControl compliant with SIA CP-01 to generate panic alarms, select the Double press option for Accidental Press Protection in the device settings in the Ajax app:

1. Go to the Devices tab.
2. Select the required button or Ajax SpaceControl and go to:
   • Settings → Accidental Press Protection
3. Select the Double press option.
4. Click Back to apply the changes.

System acknowledgment

All remote devices, such as DoubleButton Jeweller, Button S Jeweller, Button Jeweller, and Ajax SpaceControl Jeweller, as well as Ajax mobile apps, show the system acknowledgment on all actions made on the remote device.

• Ajax apps show clear and understandable statuses on each action (e.g., arming/disarming).
• Ajax SpaceControl and buttons:
  • blink green once if the command is delivered to the hub;
  • blink green twice if the acknowledgment from the hub is positive;
  • blink red if the acknowledgment from the hub is negative.

Alarm Abort Window

The Alarm Abort Window feature is intended to reduce the number of false alarms during the entry procedure.

If the user didn’t disarm the system during Delay When Entering or a non-entry device was triggered, the system will initiate a local alarm and start the Alarm Abort Window timer.

If the user disarms the system until the Alarm Abort Window time expires, alarms will not be sent to apps and the CMS. The system will announce via sirens that the alarm was aborted by a long beep after a disarming audio indication.

During the Alarm Abort Window time, the user can disarm the system using Easy Armed Mode Change.

If the user doesn’t disarm the system until the Alarm Abort Window time expires, alarms will be sent to apps and the CMS.

To adjust the Alarm Abort Window time in the Ajax PRO app:

1. Select the required hub and go to:
   • Settings → Service → Arming/Disarming Process
2. Adjust the Alarm Abort Window time.
3. Click Back to apply the changes.

The combination of the Delay When Entering and Alarm Abort Window time ranges should not exceed 1 minute according to the SIA CP-01 requirements.

Disarming

If the user disarms the system after the Alarm Abort Window time expiration, the system will show which device was triggered and when in the app’s notification log.

If the user disarms the system within 5 minutes after the Alarm Abort Window time expiration, the system will send the Alarm Cancellation to the CMS. Also, the system will announce via sirens that the alarm was cancelled by two long beeps after a disarming audio indication.

Duress code

An Ajax system has a feature that allows simulating system disarming with the duress code. In this case, a user won’t be given away by the Ajax app and sirens installed at the facility, and the security company and other security system users will be warned about the incident.

The duress code is not set up by default. To create the duress code in the Ajax app:

1. Go to the Devices tab.
2. Select the required keypad and go to:
   • Settings → Duress Code
3. Create a duress code.
4. Click Done to save the changes.

Cross zoning

An Ajax system has a feature that allows verifying alarms by the system itself using cross zoning. To verify the alarm, the system should detect two alarms from different devices used in a cross zone within the intrusion confirmation time.

The cross zoning functionality is delivered with OS Malevich 2.20.

To configure the cross zoning in the Ajax PRO app:

1. Select the required hub and go to:
   • Settings → Service → Alarm Confirmation
2. Enable the Intrusion Alarm Confirmation option.
3. Select devices that will be used in a cross zone.
4. Adjust Intrusion Confirmation Timer (from 30 to 60 minutes).
5. Adjust if the lid should be analyzed during the confirmation by the Confirm with Second Lid Opening option.
6. Adjust if entry devices should be analyzed during the confirmation by the Include Devices with Entry Delay option.
7. Click Back to apply the settings.

If the Intrusion Alarm Confirmation option is enabled, a single alarm will not be sent to apps and the CMS, and the local alarm will not be triggered. If the second alarm is triggered from another device in a cross zone within the intrusion confirmation period, a confirmed alarm will be sent to apps and the CMS, and the local alarm will start.

Devices Auto Deactivation

To comply with SIA CP-01, the Devices Auto Deactivation option should be enabled. The number of alarms to deactivate should be 2 by default. The number can be adjusted from 0 to 6 according to standard requirements. Values more than 6 do not comply with SIA CP-01.

System testing

An Ajax system provides various tests to check the operability of different types of devices. You can perform Detection Zone, Jeweller Signal Strength, or siren Volume Level tests.

• Detection Zone Test
• Jeweller Signal Strength Test
• Siren Volume Level Test

At the same time, an Ajax system continuously tests the connectivity with all detectors, Ajax Cloud, and CMSs.

System Integrity Check

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

To comply with SIA CP-01, the System Integrity Check option should be enabled.

When setting up, you can choose the hub states to be included in the integrity check:

• Battery charge level
• Power supply availability
• Lid state
• Noise level
• Server connection status
• Central monitoring station connection

When the System Integrity Check option is enabled, the statuses of other security devices (tampers, battery level, states of bistable detectors) are checked regardless of the selected hub states.

Minimum system configuration

1. Control panel: Hub 2 Plus Jeweller (9NA), Hub 2 (4G) Jeweller (9NA).
2. Progress annunciation device: StreetSiren Jeweller (9NA), StreetSiren DoubleDeck Jeweller (9NA), HomeSiren Jeweller (9NA).
3. Off-premise transmission: via the control panel.
4. Local alarm siren model: StreetSiren Jeweller (9NA), StreetSiren DoubleDeck Jeweller (9NA), HomeSiren Jeweller (9NA).
5. Smoke detector: compatible, UL-certified.
6. Arming device: KeyPad Plus Jeweller (9NA), Ajax SpaceControl Jeweller (9NA).

Consult your installer to determine if Alarm Abort Window is configured for your system. The Alarm Abort Window feature prevents reporting to the CMS if the control panel is disarmed within 30–45 seconds after an intrusion alarm is triggered. Note that fire-type alarms are normally reported without a delay.

Quick reference requirements

* The combination of the Delay When Entering and Alarm Abort Window time ranges should not exceed 1 minute.
