Operating principle
Hub BP Jeweller is a control panel of an Ajax system. It controls the operation of connected devices.
You can connect up to 100 wireless Ajax devices to Hub BP Jeweller. Connected devices protect against intrusion, fire, and flooding and also allow you to control electrical appliances according to scenarios or manually — in a mobile app or by pressing the panic button, LightSwitch, or keypad with a touch screen.
To monitor the operation of all security system devices, the hub communicates with the connected devices using two encrypted protocols:
- Jeweller is a radio protocol for transmitting events and alarms from Ajax wireless devices. The communication range is up to 2,000 m without obstacles, such as walls, doors, or inter-floor constructions.
- Wings is a radio protocol for transmitting photos from MotionCam and MotionCam Outdoor detectors. The communication range is up to 2,000 m without obstacles, such as walls, doors, or inter-floor constructions.
If a detector is triggered, the system raises an alarm in less than a second. In case of an alarm, the hub activates the sirens, starts the scenarios, and notifies the security company’s monitoring station and all users.
Sabotage protection
Hub BP Jeweller has two SIM card slots for connecting to the Ajax Cloud server. This allows you to connect the device to two different mobile network operators at the same time. If one of them is unavailable, the hub automatically switches to another one and informs the security company’s monitoring station and system users.
When a jamming attempt is detected, the system switches to an idle radio frequency and sends notifications to the security company’s monitoring station and system users.
The hub regularly checks the quality of communication with all connected devices. If any device loses connection with the control panel, upon expiry of the time specified by the administrator, all system users (depending on the settings), as well as the security company’s monitoring station, will receive a notification about the incident.
No one can turn off the hub unnoticed, even when the facility is disarmed. If an intruder tries to open the hub casing, the tamper button will trigger immediately. The alarm notification will be sent to the security company and system users.
The hub rechecks the Ajax Cloud connection at regular intervals. The ping period is specified in the hub settings. If a minimum ping period is set, the server may notify the users and the security company in as little as 60 seconds after the connection is lost.
OS Malevich
Hub BP Jeweller is run by the real-time operating system OS Malevich. It is protected from viruses and cyber-attacks.
OS Malevich brings new features and functionality to the Ajax security system through over-the-air updates. The update does not require the involvement of an installation engineer or user.
The update takes up to 2 minutes with the security system disarmed and the internal or external power source connected.

Ajax account
To configure the system, install the Ajax app and create an account. Installers and 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
To be connected to the Ajax Cloud server, Hub BP Jeweller requires internet access. The connection is needed for the operation of Ajax apps, remote setup and management of the system, and sending push notifications to users.
Hub BP Jeweller is connected to the internet via a cellular network. To increase the system’s reliability and availability, populate both SIM card slots.
To connect the hub to Ajax Cloud:
- Unscrew the screws that secure the casing if installed. To do this, use a Ø 4 mm hexagon key included in the hub complete set.
- Remove the lid of the hub casing.
- Install the Hub BP Jeweller board into the casing.
- Connect the power supply to the appropriate connectors:
1 — External power source terminal connector.
2 — Internal battery connector. Connect a 12 V⎓ battery.
3 — Polarity error indicator for a external power source.
4 — Polarity error indicator for a internal battery.Indicators 3 and 4 light up in case of polarity reversal when connecting the power supply (when the power supply “-” is connected to the terminal “+” and vice versa).
- Install SIM cards:
1 — Slot 1 for micro SIM.
2 — Slot 2 for micro SIM. - Hold down the hub’s power button. As soon as the hub is on, the LED on the hub board will light up.

Selecting the installation site
Fix the Hub BP Jeweller casing on a vertical surface using bundled fasteners. All the necessary holes for fastening have already been made in the casing.
It is necessary to fix the hub vertically so that the tamper responds if someone tries to detach a device. Learn the battery documentation before installing because some batteries can be mounted only vertically (with terminals upward). Another installation position could cause fast battery degradation.
It is advisable to choose an installation site where the hub is hidden from prying eyes, for example, in a pantry. This will help reduce the likelihood of sabotage or security system jamming. Note that the device is intended for indoor installation only.
Select a location where the hub can be connected via two SIM cards. The cellular signal strength at the installation site should be stable and reach 2-3 bars. In places with poor signal reception, it is recommended to install an external antenna. We do not guarantee the correct operation of the unit with a low cellular signal strength.
When choosing a location, take into account the distance between the hub and wireless devices and the presence of obstacles between them that may interfere with the passage of the radio signal. Such obstacles may include walls, raised floors, or large objects in the room. Use an external antenna if necessary.
To roughly calculate the signal strength at the site where wireless devices are installed, use our radio communication range calculator.
Run the Jeweller and Wings signal strength tests. The stable signal strength of 2–3 bars with all connected devices should be provided at the chosen installation site. With a signal strength of 1 or 0 bars, we do not guarantee stable operation of the security system.
If the system has devices with signal strength of 1 or 0 bars, consider using ExternalAntenna or relocating the hub or device. If this is not possible or the device still has low or unstable signal strength after being moved, use range extenders.
Installation of the control panel
During installation and operation of the Ajax security system, adhere to the rules and requirements of regulatory legal acts on electrical safety. Do not disassemble the device while it is energized or use it with a damaged power cable.
Before installation, make sure that you have selected the optimal location for the device and that it complies with the requirements of this manual.
To install Hub BP Jeweller:
- Prepare the cable outputs in advance by carefully breaking out the perforated parts of the Hub BP Jeweller casing.
- Secure the casing on the vertical surface at the selected installation location with the bundled screws using all fixation points. One of them is in the perforated part above the tamper — it is required for tamper triggering in case of any attempt to detach the hub casing.
- Place the Hub BP Jeweller board into the casing on the holders.
- Connect a 6–12 V⎓ external power source.
- Connect a 12 V⎓ internal battery. Do not connect third-party power sources, as this may cause the hub to fail.
Use a 12 V⎓ battery. The maximum dimensions of the battery to be installed in the casing are 151 × 65 × 94 mm, and the battery weight is 5 kg. For such battery configuration, special holders are provided in the hub casing.
- If necessary, connect ExternalAntenna to the appropriate communication port.
Before installation, make sure you read the antenna user manual.
- Turn on the hub.
- Install the lid on the hub casing and fix it with the bundled screws.
- Check the status of the hub casing in the Ajax app. If the app shows a tamper alarm, check the tightness of the hub’s casing.
Do not install the hub
- Outdoors. This could result in a failure of the control panel.
- Near the metal objects and mirrors. They can cause attenuation or shielding of the radio signal. This could result in the loss of connection between the hub and wireless Ajax devices. If it is necessary to install in such condition, use ExternalAntenna to overcome obstacles of the signal.
- In places with high levels of radio interference. This could result in the loss of connection between the hub and wireless Ajax devices or false notifications about security system jamming. If necessary, use ExternalAntenna to move the reception spot.
- Less than 1 meter away from the router and power cables. This could result in the loss of connection between the hub and wireless devices.
- Less than 1 meter away from Jeweller devices. This could result in the loss of connection between the hub and these devices.
- In places where the hub will have a signal strength of 1 or 0 bars with connected devices. This could result in the loss of connection between the hub and these devices. Use ExternalAntenna if necessary.
- Inside premises with temperature and humidity beyond the permissible limits. This could result in a failure of the control panel.
- In places with no cellular signal or 1 bar signal strength. We do not guarantee correct operation of the device with a low cellular signal strength. Use ExternalAntenna if necessary.

- Built-in — the hub uses an internal antenna.
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
Setting up keypad passwords for people who are not registered in the system.
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:
- Press Add code.
- Set up Username and Access Code.
- 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 BP Jeweller supports up to 50 access codes.
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 the 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 5 range extender to the hub.
Radio interference detection
- Advanced radio interference detection
- Send radio interference detection event as alarm
Communication method
It is possible to select the preferred antenna to use for Jeweller and Wings channels:

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.

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 first Compliance with Standard option allows selecting a specific standard to set the security system according to existing requirements. Once you select the required standard, the menu will show the appropriate arming/disarming settings below. The following standards are available:
- EN 50131 — European standard for intrusion and hold-up alarm systems, which also describes the security grades concept.
- PD 6662 — British standard for intrusion and hold-up alarm systems, aimed to reduce the number of unconfirmed alarms and ensure police reaction only to real threats.
- VdS — German standard for intruder and hold-up alarm systems, which regulates arming/disarming process.
- ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019 — American standard for security systems that regulates features and requirements to reduce false alarms caused by users or equipment.
EN 50131
Once EN 50131 is activated, you can set the parameters of the functions Two-stage arming, Exit time restart, and Exit error in the arming settings, as well as set the Alarm transmission delay in the disarming settings.
PD 6662
Once PD 6662 is selected, the menu shows the number of arming/disarming settings that allow configuring the system to comply with standard requirements.
Use the corresponding step-by-step guide in the Ajax PRO app for a quick and convenient system setup according to PD 6662. Go to Hub → Settings 
→ Service → PD 6662 Setting Wizard and follow the app prompts.
VdS
Once VdS is selected, all devices in the system operate without delay when leaving, but entry delays will still work.
The system automatically checks that all doors and locks are closed. The door is locked with the third-party Blocking element when arming the system. Additionally, the system checks whether the door is blocked to ensure that the system is armed according to the unavoidability principle (German: Zwangsläufigkeit).
The system can’t be armed if it has malfunctions. If there are any malfunctions or the door is not locked, the system notifies of the unsuccessful arming event.
ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019
An Ajax system controlled by the hub with OS Malevich 2.19 or higher can be configured following the requirements of ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019.
Only Hub 2 (4G) Jeweller and Hub 2 Plus Jeweller are certified according to ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019.
Once ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019 is selected, you can configure Exit Time Restart and Unvacated Premises for the arming settings. For the disarming settings, you can select what devices should make an annunciation on Alarm Cancellation or Alarm Abort and adjust the Alarm Abort Window timeout.
Also, this standard requires enabling a number of features for the system, such as Delay When Entering/Leaving, cross zoning*, Devices Auto Deactivation, and system testing. These features are configured in the hub and certain device settings.
* The cross zoning functionality will be available in the next OS Malevich updates.
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.
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 a built-in LED will indicate with regular double flashing until the system is disarmed.
- Confirmed intrusion/hold-up alarm.
- Single intrusion/hold-up alarm.
- Lid opening.

Scenarios
Hub BP Jeweller allows creating 32 scenarios and minimizing the human factor impact on safety. The hub can manage the security of the entire facility or group according to a schedule; activate the smoke machine if intruders enter the room; de-energize the room and turn on emergency lighting in case of fire; shut off water in the event of a leak; control lighting devices, electric locks, roller shutters, and garage doors — when changing the security mode by pressing a button or by a detector alarm.
Scenarios can be used to reduce the number of routine actions and increase productivity. Ajax automation devices respond to changes in temperature and air quality. For example, configure the heating to turn on at low temperatures, control the supply system, humidifier, and air conditioner to maintain a comfortable climate.
Photo verification
Hub BP Jeweller supports both MotionCam and MotionCam Outdoor wireless motion detectors. When triggered, the detectors take a series of shots you can use to evaluate the unfolding of the events at the facility over time. This relieves users of unnecessary anxiety and prevents security companies from sending unnecessary patrol dispatches.
The detector activates the camera when armed and detects movement. Only users with access to the events feed and authorized employees of the security company can see visual alarm verifications, provided that the security system is connected to the monitoring station.
If the Photo on Demand feature is activated, the detectors can take a photo upon the command of a system user or PRO user with the appropriate rights. The taking of a photo is always registered in the hub’s events feed.
The shots are protected by encryption at every stage of transmission. They are stored on the Ajax Cloud server and are not processed or analyzed.
Maintenance
Check the functioning of Hub BP Jeweller and connected devices regularly. The optimal frequency of checks is once every three months. Clean the hub casing from dust, cobwebs, and other contaminants as they emerge. Use a soft, dry cloth suitable for equipment care.
Do not use substances containing alcohol, acetone, petrol, and other active solvents to clean the device.
