Curtain Outdoor Jeweller user manual

Updated

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller is a wireless curtain-type motion detector with dual motion detection technology for outdoor and indoor use. The detector has a horizontal detection angle of 8° and is designed for the perimeter control: windows, doorways, and other entrances or exits of the guarded facility. It detects motion at a distance of up to 12 m.

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller communicates with the hub using two secure protocols. The detector uses Jeweller to transmit alarms and events and Wings to update the firmware. The communication range in an open space is up to 1,700 m. Pre-installed batteries ensure up to 3 years of autonomous operation.

The list of compatible hubs is available here.

You can manage the detector and its settings using iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows apps. The system notifies users of any events via push notifications, SMS, or calls.

Operating principle

Two parallel IR sensors of Curtain Outdoor Jeweller register intrusion upon detecting moving objects with a temperature different from the ambient.

When the device detects motion, it additionally performs a radio frequency (RF) scan with a built-in K-band microwave sensor. It helps to eliminate false alarms caused by thermal interference: air flows, fans, air conditioners, etc.

In case of an alarm, a detector instantly sends it to the hub. Therefore, the hub activates the sirens connected to the system, runs the scenarios, and notifies users and the security company. All Curtain Outdoor Jeweller alarms and events are recorded in the events feed of Ajax apps.

Users and the monitoring company know exactly where motion is detected. The notifications contain the name of a space (the name of a guarded facility), the device name, and the virtual room to which the detector is assigned.

The detector doesn’t switch to the armed mode instantly. The switching time depends on two factors: the exit delay (specified in the detector settings) and the hub–detector polling interval (Jeweller or Jeweller/Fibra settings, the default value is 36 s). In the first case, the delay is set by an admin or a PRO-user with admin rights. In the second case, the delay occurs because it takes one polling interval for the hub to notify the detector about switching to the armed mode.

Protection against false alarms

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller uses the SmartDetect algorithm to protect against false alarms. This algorithm allows the detector to analyze the thermal diagram read by the sensor: the intensity of infrared radiation, size of the heat spot, time spent in the detection area, and other parameters.

After this stage, an additional RF scan of the room is run using the built-in K-band microwave sensor. Depending on the result, the alarm is activated or not.

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller has the Correlation signal processing feature to prevent false alarms. It is enabled by default in the detector settings. When the feature is enabled, the detector activates the RF sensor only if both IR sensors register identical signals. If it is disabled, Curtain Outdoor Jeweller runs an RF scan when at least one of the two IR sensors detects thermal radiation.

Pet immunity

When properly installed and configured, Curtain Outdoor Jeweller will not respond to pets up to 1 m (100 cm) in height. We recommend installing the detector at a height of 1 m, adjusting the slider on the detector enclosure to the Pet position, and setting up the Pet immune detection mode in the app.

Follow our recommendations to install and configure the detector.

Temperature compensation

Due to temperature compensation, the detector responds to movements, even if the indoor or outdoor temperature is close to the human body temperature. Read more about temperature compensation in the article.

Anti-masking system

Masking is an attempt to block the view of the detector. Curtain Outdoor Jeweller detects the following types of masking:

  • An obstacle in front of the detector’s lens at the distance of up to 5 cm. The maximum distance depends on the material.
  • Painting over the detector’s lenses.
  • Taping the detector’s lenses.

The system notifies users and the security company’s monitoring station about masking. The maximum masking detection time is 180 s (depending on the obstacle type and the distance to it).

If the Anti-masking feature is enabled, it is always active and works regardless of the security mode.

Jeweller and Wings data transfer protocols

Jeweller and Wings are wireless data transfer protocols that provide fast and reliable two-way communication between the hub and devices. The detector uses Jeweller to transmit alarms and events and Wings to update the firmware.

Sending events to the monitoring station

The Ajax system can transmit alarms to the PRO Desktop monitoring app, as well as to the central monitoring station (CMS), in formats of SurGard (Contact ID), SIA (DC-09), ADEMCO 685, and other protocols.

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller can transmit the following events:

  • Motion alarm.
  • Masking.
  • Alert if moved.
  • Tamper alarm/recovery.
  • Loss/restoration of connection with the hub.
  • Permanent deactivation/activation of the device.
  • One-time deactivation/activation of the device.

When an alarm is received, the operator at the security company’s monitoring station knows what happened and precisely where to dispatch a rapid response unit. The addressability of Ajax devices allows sending events to PRO Desktop or the CMS, including the device’s type and name, security group, and virtual room. Note that the list of transmitted parameters may vary depending on the CMS type and the selected communication protocol for the monitoring station.

Adding to the system

Before adding a device

  1. Install the Ajax app.
  2. Log in to your account or create a new one.
  3. Select a space or create a new one.

    The space functionality is available for apps of such versions or later:

    • Ajax Security System 3.0 for iOS;
    • Ajax Security System 3.0 for Android;
    • Ajax PRO: Tool for Engineers 2.0 for iOS;
    • Ajax PRO: Tool for Engineers 2.0 for Android;
    • Ajax PRO Desktop 4.0 for macOS;
    • Ajax PRO Desktop 4.0 for Windows.
  4. Add at least one virtual room.
  5. Add a compatible hub to the space. Ensure the hub is switched on and has internet access via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and/or mobile network.
  6. Ensure the space is disarmed, and the hub is not starting an update by checking statuses in the Ajax app.

Only a PRO or a space admin with the rights to configure the system can add a device to the hub.

Adding to the hub

  1. Open the Ajax app. Select a space where you want to add the detector.
  2. Go to the Devices tab and click Add Device.
  3. Name the device, scan, or type in the QR code (placed on the detector and the package box), and select a room and a group (if Group mode is enabled).
  4. Click Add — the countdown will begin.
  5. Switch on the device by holding the power button for 3 seconds.

Once added to the hub, the detector will appear in the list of hub devices in the Ajax app. The device status update frequency in the list depends on the Jeweller or Jeweller/Fibra settings with the default value of 36 s.

If the connection fails, try again in 5 seconds. If the maximum number of devices is added to the hub, you will be notified when trying to add a new one.

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller works with only one hub. Once the device is connected to a new hub, it stops sending events to the old one. Adding the detector to a new hub does not automatically remove it from the device list of the old hub. This must be done using the Ajax app.

Functionality testing

The Ajax system offers several types of tests to help choose the correct installation place for the devices. Testing does not start immediately. However, the waiting time does not exceed the duration of one hub–device polling interval. The polling interval can be checked and configured in hub settings (HubSettings Jeweller or Jeweller/Fibra).

To run the test in the Ajax app:

  1. Select a space.
  2. Go to the Devices tab.
  3. Select Curtain Outdoor Jeweller from the list.
  4. Go to Settings .
  5. Select a test:
    1. Jeweller signal strength test.
    2. Wings signal strength test.
    3. Detection zone test.
    4. Signal attenuation test.
  6. Run the test.

Device placement

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller is suitable for protecting the area around the guarded facility. It allows you to secure the perimeter, leaving space for free movement inside. The detector can be installed both outdoors and indoors.

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller can protect:

  • Front doors.
  • Windows.
  • Gates.
  • Fences.
  • Arches and other places where you need to protect the perimeter or passage.

The detector is located at a height of 2.4 m from the ground level. For the Pet immunity feature to be effective, the detector should be installed at a height of 1 m from the ground level. The recommended height is specified relative to the optical center of the detector’s lens. It is marked by the intersection of two lines on the device’s mounting panel or hood.

If you install the detector at a height other than the recommended one, ensure there are no false alarms caused by pets, the device detects people’s motion, and the detection zone meets your needs.

If the surface is not flat, the installation height is calculated from the highest point of the area to be protected.

The detector should be installed on a flat, stable surface, for example, on the wall of a house or a solid fence. Installing the detector on a shaky (unstable) surface will result in false alarms. The detector enclosure must be placed perpendicular to the ground level, and the intended path of the intruder must be perpendicular to the axis of the detector’s lens.

When choosing where to place Curtain Outdoor Jeweller, consider the parameters that affect its operation:

  • Motion detection zone.
  • Jeweller and Wings signal strength.
  • Distance between the detector and the hub or range extender.
  • The presence of obstacles between devices that can affect the radio signal, such as walls, inter-floor ceilings, or large objects located in the premises.
  • The presence of bushes, trees, air conditioners, glass, and other constructions that can block the detector’s view.
  • The presence of water reservoirs or pools in the detection area. They can cause false alarms.

Consider the recommendations for detector placement when developing a security system project for the facility. The security system must be designed and installed by specialists. The list of recommended Ajax partners is available here.

Signal strength

The signal strength is determined by the number of undelivered or corrupted data packages over a certain period of time. The icon in the Devices tab in Ajax apps indicates the signal strength:

  • three bars — excellent signal strength;
  • two bars — good signal strength;
  • one bar — low signal strength, stable operation is not guaranteed;
  • crossed out icon — no signal.

Check the Jeweller and Wings signal strength before final installation. With a signal strength of one or zero bars, we do not guarantee stable operation of the device. Consider relocating the device, as adjusting its position even by 20 cm can significantly improve the signal strength. If the signal remains poor or unstable after relocation, consider using a radio signal range extender.

Detection zone

When choosing where to place the detector, perform the detection zone test to accurately determine the sector in which the device detects motion.

The detection distance is adjusted using the Detection mode slider on the detector’s rear side.

Position of the Detection mode slider Motion detection distance
Far Up to 12 m
Near Up to 8 m
Pet Up to 12 m

When choosing the installation site, consider the detector’s horizontal viewing angle and the width of the detection zone. Incorrect placement of the detector may cause false alarms.

Motion detection distance Detection zone width (beam)
Up to 12 m 1.68 m
Up to 8 m 1.12 m

Do not install the detector

  • Nearby any metal objects or mirrors that can cause signal attenuation and screening.
  • Opposite trees or bushes in the detection zone of both IR sensors of the detector.
  • In front of furniture, glass, or other constructions that may block the detector’s view.
  • In places where electrical panels, air conditioning units, downspout pipes, or other constructions are located in the device’s detection zone.
  • In front of water reservoirs or pools if they are located in the detection zone of the detector.
  • In places with low or unstable Jeweller and/or Wings signal strength.
  • Closer than 1 m to the hub or radio signal range extender.

Installation

Before installing Curtain Outdoor Jeweller, ensure that you have chosen the optimal location that complies with the requirements of this manual.

There are four options for installing Curtain Outdoor Jeweller:

  • To the SmartBracket mounting panel. SmartBracket allows you to install the detector on a vertical surface.
  • To the hood. The hood for Curtain Outdoor Jeweller protects masking sensors from rain and snow. It is used when the detector cannot be installed under the cover and allows you to install the detector on a vertical surface.

    The hood replaces the detector’s SmartBracket mounting panel, so you need to remove it before installing the detector with hood.

  • To the angle mount. It allows you to install the detector parallel to the guarded facility’s wall. The detector can be installed to the angle mount with the SmartBracket mounting panel or hood.
  • To a third-party mount. The detector can be installed to a third-party mount with the SmartBracket mounting panel or hood.

    When using a third-party mount, ensure that Curtain Outdoor Jeweller is fixed vertically. Deviation from the vertical axis affects the detection area of the detector.

Before installation, set the required detection mode in the detector settings and on its enclosure.

To install the detector:

  1. Remove the SmartBracket mounting panel from the detector. Unscrew the holding screw first and slide the panel down.
  2. Fix the SmartBracket panel or hood using double-sided adhesive tape or other temporary fasteners. The hood or mounting panel can be installed on a vertical surface or in a corner of the premises using the mount angle.

    The recommended installation height is 2.4 m or 1 m (to protect against false alarms caused by pets) relative to the optical center of the detector’s lens.

    SmartBracket and the hood have markings on the inner side for easy installation. The intersection of two lines marks the optical center of the device’s lens (not the mounting panel or hood). Orient them when installing the detector.

    Double-sided adhesive tape can only be used for temporary installation. The device attached by the tape may come unstuck from the surface at any time. As long as the device is taped, the tamper will not be triggered when the device is detached from the surface.

  3. Set the Detection mode slider on the device enclosure to the required position. Then, the Detection mode setting in the Ajax app should be set to the value appropriate for the slider position.
    Installation height Slider position Detection mode
    2.4 m Far Far
    2.4 m Near Near
    1 m Pet Pet immune

    Mismatching the slider position to the Detection mode setting and the installation height may result in the device’s incorrect operation.

  4. Place the detector on the SmartBracket mounting panel or hood and run the Jeweller signal strength test and Wings signal strength test. The recommended signal strength is two or three bars. With a signal strength of one or zero bars, we do not guarantee stable operation of the device. Consider relocating the device, as repositioning even by 20 cm can significantly improve the signal strength. If the signal remains poor or unstable after relocation, consider using a radio signal range extender.
  5. Perform the detection zone test. To check the motion detector, walk around the premises while observing the LED indicator and determine the detection zone of the detector. The maximum range of motion detection is 12 m. If the detector does not respond to movement during the test in 5 cases out of 5, relocate the device.
  6. Remove the detector from the SmartBracket mounting panel or hood.
  7. Use bundled screws to attach SmartBracket / the hood / the angle or third-party mount to the surface.
  8. If the detector is installed directly to the hood or mounting panel, attach the device to them. When installing the detector to the angle or third-party mount, first attach the SmartBracket mounting panel or hood to the mount using bundled screws. Then install the detector on the mounting panel or hood.
  9. Leave the device’s detection zone (horizontal angle is 8°) and ensure there is no movement within the detector’s zone of view. This is necessary for the correct calibration of masking sensors. During calibration, the detector’s LED indicator will flash green every 0.5 sec. Calibration takes up to 2 minutes.

    Calibration starts automatically after installing the detector on the mounting panel or hood.

  10. Tighten the holding screw on the bottom of the detector enclosure. The screw is needed for more reliable fastening and protection of the detector from quick dismantling.

If the LED indicator is not activated after installing the detector on SmartBracket, check the tamper status in the Ajax app, the integrity of the fastening, and the tightness of the detector fixation on the panel. You will receive a notification if the detector is detached from the surface or removed from the mounting panel.

Maintenance

Regularly check the functioning of the detector. The optimal frequency of checks is once every three months. Clean the detector enclosure from dust, cobwebs, and other contaminants as they emerge. Use soft, dry wipes suitable for equipment maintenance.

Do not use substances that contain alcohol, acetone, gasoline, and other active solvents to clean the device.

Pre-installed batteries provide up to 3 years of the detector’s autonomous operation. When the battery is low, the system will send a corresponding notification to Ajax apps. In case of an alarm, the LED indicator will smoothly light up and go out.
