Operating principle
EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller is a wireless fire detector with a heat sensor, which is designed for indoor installation. The detector is always active and responds to a fire 24/7, regardless of the system’s security mode.
The device is powered by pre-installed batteries and does not require an external power supply. EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller monitors its operational state and informs the system of faults if any occur.
EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller is equipped with a tamper button that triggers if someone attempts to remove the device from the mounting panel.
Heat sensor
Two built-in thermistors detect a rapid temperature rise or when the temperature exceeds the threshold value. The thermistors trigger an alarm when a rapid temperature rise or static temperature is detected. The threshold temperature, temperature rise rate, and the response time at which the detector raises an alarm depend on the detector settings and comply with the requirements of the EN 54-5 standard.
Available heat sensor modes:
- A1, A1R, A1S.
- B, BR, BS.
- C, CR, CS.
- Fixed temperature.
Jeweller data transfer protocols
Jeweller is a wireless data transfer protocol that provides fast and reliable two-way communication between the CIE and devices. The device uses Jeweller to transmit commands, alarms, and events.
Sending events to the monitoring station
An Ajax system can transmit alarms to both the Ajax PRO Desktop app and the monitoring station in the formats of SurGard (Contact ID), SIA (DC-09), ADEMCO 685, and other protocols.
A system with EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller installed can transmit the following events:
- Fire alarm / recovery after the alarm.
- Heat sensor hardware fault/recovery.
- Battery charge is low/OK.
- Tamper alarm/recovery.
- Loss/recovery of communication between EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller and the CIE.
When an alarm is received, the operator at the monitoring station knows precisely what happened and where. The addressability of Ajax devices allows sending events to Ajax PRO Desktop or the monitoring software, including the device type, its name, fire zone, virtual room, and location description. Please note that the list of transmitted parameters may vary depending on the monitoring software and the selected communication protocol for the monitoring station.
You can find the device ID and zone number in the device states.
Selecting the installation site
The detector is designed for indoor installation only.
Follow your local fire safety regulations when selecting the device installation site.
When choosing where to place the detector, consider the parameters that affect its operation:
- Jeweller signal strength.
- Distance between the device and the CIE.
- Presence of obstacles to radio signal transmission.
Consider the placement recommendations when developing a system project. Only specialists may design and install Ajax systems. A list of recommended partners is available here.
Signal strength
The signal strength is determined by the number of undelivered or corrupted data packets 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.
Note that if the signal strength is excellent, the device can automatically adjust the radio transmission power to reduce power consumption and radio interference.
Run the Jeweller signal strength test before final installation. The test checks the signal strength at the device’s maximum transmission power. To comply with the EN 54 requirements, the signal strength between the device and the CIE must be three bars.
If the test shows the signal strength of one or zero bars, we do not guarantee the device will operate stably. Consider relocating the detector, as adjusting its position even by 8 inches or rotating it relative to the CIE can significantly improve the signal strength. If the signal remains poor or unstable after relocation, consider using an Ajax radio signal range extender (coming soon).
Refer to the functionality testing section to learn how to run the Jeweller signal strength test.
Where not to install the device
- Outdoors. This can lead to detector failure.
- Indoors, where the temperature and humidity are outside the permissible limits. This may damage the detector.
- In places with fast air circulation. For example, near fans, vents, open windows, or doors. This may interfere with fire detection.
- Opposite any objects whose temperature changes rapidly, such as electric and gas heaters. This may cause false alarms.
- In the corners of the room. This may interfere with fire detection.
- In bathrooms, showers, or other areas where the temperature changes rapidly. This may cause false alarms.
- Near lighting fixtures, decorations, and other interior items that may interfere with the circulation of air on the premises. This may interfere with fire detection.
- On surfaces that are usually warmer or colder than the rest of the premises. For example, on skylights. Temperature fluctuations may interfere with fire detection.
- In places with low or unstable Jeweller signal strength. This may result in losing connection to the CIE.
- Closer than 3 ft to the CIE or radio signal range extender.
Installation
Before installing EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller, ensure that you have selected the optimal location that complies with the requirements of this manual.
Only a professional must install this device.
To install the device:
- Remove the SmartBracket mounting panel from the device. To remove the panel, turn it counterclockwise.
- Secure the SmartBracket panel to a surface using double-sided adhesive tape or other temporary fasteners. The ↑↑ sign on SmartBracket is for informational purposes only. It can help you align the device properly.
Use double-sided adhesive tape for temporary fixation only. The device secured by the adhesive tape can detach from the surface at any time, which may result in damage if it falls.
- Add EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller to the CIE.
- Place the device on the SmartBracket mounting panel.
- Run the device functionality testing.
- Remove the device from the mounting panel.
- Attach the SmartBracket panel to the surface using the bundled screws for all fixing points. When using other fasteners, ensure they do not damage or deform the mounting panel.
- To additionally secure the device on SmartBracket with the lock, move the locking mechanism to
position. In this case, you will need to insert a special tool into the corresponding hole to remove the mounting panel.
- Place the device on the SmartBracket mounting panel.
- Adjust the device position if necessary. The SmartBracket mounting panel allows the detector to be rotated up to 90°.
Adding to the system
The CIE and the device must operate at the same radio frequency; otherwise, they are incompatible. The radio frequency range of the device may vary based on the region. We recommend purchasing and using Ajax devices in the same region. You can verify the range of operating radio frequencies with the technical support service.
Before adding the module
- Install an Ajax app.
- Log in to your account or create a new one.
- Select a space or create a new one.
- Add at least one virtual room.
- Add a compatible CIE to the space. Ensure the CIE is switched on and has internet access via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and/or mobile network.
- Check the states in the Ajax app to ensure the space is disarmed and the CIE is not starting an update.
Only a PRO or a space admin with the rights to configure the system can add the device to the CIE.
Adding to the CIE
- Open an Ajax app. Select a space to which you want to add the device.
- Go to the Devices
tab and tap Add device.
- Scan the QR code or enter the device ID manually. A QR code with the ID is placed on the device under the SmartBracket mounting panel. Also, it is duplicated on the device packaging.
- Assign a name to the device.
- Select a fire zone and a virtual room.
- If necessary, specify the device location in the Location field.
- Select Add device, and the countdown will begin.
- Switch on the device by holding the power button for 3 seconds.
Once added to the CIE, the device will appear in the list of CIE devices in the Ajax app. The update frequency for device states in the list depends on the Jeweller settings and is 36 seconds by default.
If the connection fails, try again in 5 seconds. If the maximum number of devices has already been added to the CIE, you will receive an error notification when you try to add more.
EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller works with only one CIE. When added to a new CIE, the device stops sending events to the old one. After the device is added to a new CIE, it will not be automatically removed from the device list of the old CIE. This must be done through the Ajax app.
