Operating principle
Superior MegaHub (without casing) is a hybrid control panel of an Ajax system. It controls the connected device operation. The hub is added to a space, a virtual entity where various autonomous devices are gathered on the same physical object.
You can add up to 999 wired and wireless Ajax devices to Superior MegaHub (without casing). Connected devices protect against intrusion, fire, and flooding. They also allow you to control electrical appliances according to scenarios or manually — in a mobile app, by pressing the panic button, by actuating LightSwitch, or via the keypad with touchscreen.
The hub supports both devices with the new firmware version (i.e., with the “999 ready” label) and devices with the legacy firmware version. However, no more than 250 devices with the legacy firmware can be added to the hub. The remaining devices within the 999 limit must have the new firmware version.
Superior MegaHub running OS Malevich 2.37 supports up to 250 Jeweller devices, including those with upgraded and legacy firmware. This is a temporary limitation that will be lifted in future updates.
To monitor the operation of all system devices, the hub uses encrypted protocols to communicate with them:
1. Superior Jeweller is a radio protocol for transmitting events and alarms from wireless Ajax devices. The communication range is up to 8,200 ft in open space.
2. Wings is a radio protocol for transmitting large data packets. The communication range is up to 8,200 ft in open space.
3. Fibra is a wired protocol for transmitting events and alarms from wired Ajax devices. The communication range is up to 6,550 ft when the device is connected via U/UTP cat.5 twisted pair.
4. VoRF is a proprietary full-duplex audio communication protocol that ensures seamless and secure voice exchange. This protocol is used by Ajax voice modules. The communication range is up to 5,550 ft in open space.
If a device is triggered, the system raises an alarm in less than a second, regardless of the communication protocol. In case of an alarm, the hub activates the sirens, launches scenarios, and notifies the monitoring company and all users.
OS Malevich
Superior MegaHub (without casing) runs on the OS Malevich real-time operating system, which is protected against viruses and cyberattacks.
OS Malevich provides an Ajax system with new features and functionality via over-the-air (OTA) updates. The update does not require the involvement of an installer or user.
When the system is disarmed and an external power supply and a backup battery are connected, the OTA update takes up to 2 minutes.
Sabotage protection
Superior MegaHub (without casing) features four communication channels for connecting to the Ajax Cloud server: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and two SIM cards. This allows you to connect the device to four different communication providers simultaneously. If one of the communication channels is unavailable, the hub will automatically switch to another one and notify the monitoring company and system users.
The connection between the hub and the devices added to it is protected by an advanced encryption scheme that ensures data confidentiality and integrity. This means that all sensitive data in a message is encrypted, and each message includes a unique authentication tag allowing the system to verify that the data has not been modified during transmission. The system can reliably detect tampering and reject forged or altered messages, providing robust protection against both passive and active attacks. This ensures secure communication between the device and the hub, as well as reliable system and data protection.
Superior MegaHub (without casing) uses frequency hopping for radio communication. With this method, the hub and devices added to it change their operating frequency according to a predefined pattern. The hopping sequence covers a defined set of channels within the operating bands, and the devices switch frequencies synchronously with the hub. Even if some channels are affected by jamming, messages can be transmitted successfully via other channels. Frequency hopping improves system reliability and performance, ensuring its resistance to intentional interference and jamming attempts.
Frequency hopping does not cause delays or pauses in radio communication and does not reduce data transfer speeds. If range extenders are added to the system, frequency hopping is used for “device ↔ range extender” and “range extender ↔ hub” radio communication.
The system uses frequency hopping for radio communication only if all wireless devices support this method.
If at least one device added to the system does not support frequency hopping, the hub and all devices switch to the operating frequencies of that device and do not use frequency hopping for radio communication.
The hub regularly checks the quality of communication with all connected devices. If any device loses connection with the control panel, all system users (depending on the settings) and the monitoring company will receive a notification of the incident after the time specified by an admin has elapsed.
The hub cannot be turned off unnoticed, even when the facility is disarmed. If an intruder attempts to open Ajax Case with the hub board installed, the tamper button will be triggered immediately. An alarm notification will be sent to the monitoring company and system users.
The hub regularly checks the connection to Ajax Cloud. The polling interval is specified in the hub settings. If the minimum polling interval is set, the server will notify users and the monitoring company within 60 seconds after the connection is lost.
A backup battery can be connected to the hub to provide backup power for the hub and wired devices and ensure system operability for a specific period.
You can use batteries of different capacities that fit the Ajax Case size and feature a full charging time of no more than 24 hours. The maximum battery charging current from Superior MegaHub (without casing) is 0.9 A.
Video surveillance
Superior MegaHub (without casing) is compatible with Ajax cameras and NVRs, as well as third-party cameras that support the RTSP protocol or SDK integration.
You can calculate the number of cameras and NVRs that can be added to an Ajax space using Video device calculator.
Scenarios
Superior MegaHub (without casing) allows creating 100 scenarios and minimizing the human factor impact on security. The scenarios may include:
- managing the security of the entire facility or a separate group according to a schedule;
- activating a smoke machine if intruders have entered the premises;
- de-energizing the premises and turning on emergency lighting in case of fire;
- shutting off the water in the event of a leak;
- controlling lighting devices, electric locks, roller shutters, and garage doors when a security mode is changed after an Ajax smart button is pressed or a detector alarm is activated.
The 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 or control the air supply system, humidifier, and air conditioner to maintain a comfortable microclimate.
Photo verification

Superior MegaHub (without casing) supports motion detectors with photo verification. When triggered, the detectors take a series of photos you can use to keep track of the situation at the facility. This relieves users of unnecessary anxiety and prevents monitoring companies from sending unnecessary patrol dispatches.
When the detector is armed and detects motion, it activates the camera. Only users with access to the event feed can view visual data. If the system is connected to the monitoring station, authorized employees of the monitoring company can also view visual data for alarm verification.
If the Photo on demand feature is activated, the detectors can take a photo at the command of a system user or a PRO user with the appropriate rights. Photo capture events are always recorded in the hub’s event feed.
The images are protected by encryption at every stage of transmission. They are stored on the Ajax Cloud server and are not processed or analyzed.
Ajax account
To set up the system, install the Ajax PRO app and log in to your PRO account, or create a new one if you do not have one yet. Do not create a new account for each space, as one account can manage multiple systems. Where necessary, you can configure separate access rights for each space.
User settings, systems, and parameters of connected devices are stored in a space. Changing the space admin or adding or removing users does not reset the settings of the devices added to the space.
Superior MegaHub (without casing) can only be added and configured in Ajax PRO apps.
Selecting an installation site
Superior MegaHub (without casing) must be installed into Case E (395) (coming soon) or Case D (430), which are sold separately. Case E (395) is designed for indoor and outdoor use, while Case D (430) is intended for indoor use only. It is recommended to choose an installation site where the hub will be hidden from prying eyes — for example, in a storage room. This will help to reduce the risk of sabotage or system jamming.
Install Ajax Case with the hub on a vertical surface. This will ensure a proper tamper button response if someone attempts to detach the casing. Before installation, refer to the battery documentation — some batteries can be mounted only vertically (with terminals facing upward). Any other installation position may result in rapid battery degradation.
Choose a location where the hub can use all possible communication channels: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and two SIM cards. Ensure that the cellular signal at the installation site is stable and reaches 2–3 bars. In areas with poor signal reception, it is recommended to install Ajax ExternalAntenna. If the cellular signal is weak, correct device operation cannot be guaranteed.
When choosing an installation site, take into account the distance between the hub and wireless devices. You should also consider the presence of obstacles that may interfere with the radio signal: walls, intermediate floors, or large objects located in the room.
To roughly calculate a signal strength at the installation site of wireless devices, use our Radio communication range calculator. Use Fibra power supply calculator to calculate the wired connection range.
Run the Jeweller, Wings, and Fibra signal strength tests. A stable signal strength of 2–3 bars for all connected devices should be provided at the chosen installation site. With a signal strength of 1 or 0 bars, stable system operation cannot be guaranteed.
If the system has devices with a signal strength of 1 or 0 bars, consider relocating the hub or device. If this is not possible or the device still has a low or unstable signal strength after being moved, use range extenders or Fibra modules that extend the line.
Follow these recommendations when designing a system project for a facility. Only professionals should design and install an Ajax system. A list of authorized Ajax partners is available here.
Installing into Ajax Case
The hub must be installed into Case E (395) (coming soon) or Case D (430), which are sold separately.
The hub board can be placed alongside other devices in Ajax Case. Use Case configurator to determine the optimal arrangement of your Fibra devices within the casing.
You can install only one Superior MegaHub (without casing) board into a single Ajax Case.
The casing features mounts for the modules, cable channels, and a tamper board that is connected to the hub’s connector. Three Module Holder (type A) holders are required to install the hub board into Ajax Case. The figures below show the options for placing the hub board into the Ajax casings.
How not to install the hub
- Without Case D (430) or Case E (395) (coming soon).
- Outdoors without Case E (395) (coming soon). This may cause the control panel to malfunction.
- In Case E (395) (coming soon) in black in direct sunlight. This may cause the devices inside the casing to overheat and damage their electrical components. Choose shaded places for installation.
- Near metal objects and mirrors. They can cause attenuation or shielding of the radio signal. This may result in a connection loss between the hub and wireless Ajax devices. If it is necessary to install the hub in such conditions, use ExternalAntenna to overcome signal interference.
- In places with high levels of radio interference. This may result in a connection loss between the hub and wireless Ajax devices or false notifications of system jamming. If necessary, use ExternalAntenna to move the reception spot.
- With another hub board in Ajax Case.
-
Closer than 3 ft to a router and power cables. This may result in connection loss between the hub and wireless devices.
-
Closer than 3 ft to Jeweller devices. This may result in connection loss between the hub and these devices.
- In places where the hub will have a signal strength of 1 or 0 bars for connected devices. This may result in connection loss between the hub and these devices. Use ExternalAntenna if necessary.
- In places with temperature and humidity beyond the permissible limits. This may damage the control panel.
- In places with no cellular signal or one-bar signal strength. In areas with poor signal reception, it is recommended to install Ajax ExternalAntenna. If a cellular signal strength is low, correct device operation cannot be guaranteed.
Designing
To ensure correct device installation and configuration, it is crucial to design the system properly. During the design stage, it is necessary to consider factors such as the number and types of devices at the facility, their exact location and installation height, the length and type of Fibra lines, and other relevant details. For tips on designing the Fibra system, refer to the article.
Topologies
Fibra is a data transfer protocol for wired Ajax devices. At the physical level, Fibra resembles a bus connection: the detectors are connected to the control panel with a four-core cable. Ajax systems support three topologies — Beam (Radial wiring), Ring, and Tree. Learn more about the topologies in this article.
Cable length and type
If the Beam (Radial wiring) topology is used, the maximum range of a wired connection is 6,550 ft, while the Ring topology allows for up to 1,640 ft.
Recommended cable types:
- U/UTP cat.5, 4×2×0.51 mm (24 AWG) cable, copper conductor.
- 4×0.22 mm² signal cable, copper conductor.
The wired connection range may vary if you use a different cable type. No other cable types have been tested.
Verification with the calculator (coming soon)
Use Fibra power supply calculator to ensure that the design is correct and the system will work in practice. This tool helps check the communication quality and cable length for wired Fibra devices during the system design stage.
Preparing for installation
Cable arrangement
When preparing to lay cables, check the electrical and fire safety regulations in your region. Strictly follow these standards and regulations. Tips for laying cables are available in the article.
Cable routing
We recommend that you carefully read the Selecting the installation site section before installation. Do not deviate from the system design. Violation of the basic Superior MegaHub (without casing) installation rules and the recommendations of this manual may result in incorrect operation and connection loss with the device.
Signal cables for Fibra devices must be laid at a distance of at least 20 inches from the power cables when routed in parallel. If signal cables intersect, the angle must be 90°. Observe the permissible cable bending radius, which is specified by the manufacturer in the cable specifications. Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging or breaking the conductor. Tips for cable routing are available in this article.
Preparing cables for connection
Remove the insulation layer and strip the cable with a special insulation stripper. The wire ends inserted into the device terminals must be tinned or crimped with a sleeve. This ensures a reliable connection and protects the conductor from oxidation. Tips for preparing the cables are available in the article.
Installation
Before installing Superior MegaHub (without casing), ensure that the optimal device location has been chosen and that it meets the requirements of this manual. To reduce the likelihood of sabotage, conceal the cables from view and route them in a place that is inaccessible to intruders. It is best to route them inside walls, floors, or ceilings. Before final installation, run the Fibra signal strength test.
When connecting to the device terminals, do not twist the wires together, but solder them. The ends of the wires that will be inserted into the terminals must be tinned or crimped with a special sleeve. This will ensure a reliable connection. Follow the safety procedures and electrical installation rules when connecting the control panel and wired devices.
- De-energize the cables you will connect to Superior MegaHub (without casing).
- Unscrew the casing’s front lid and remove it.
- Prepare holes for routing the cables into Case D (430) in advance. Refer to the Case D (430) user manual.

APN, Username, and Password — settings for connecting the hub to the internet via a SIM card. To obtain the settings of your mobile operator, contact your provider’s support service. APN settings are applied only after a successful internet connection with new parameters is established. If the connection attempt fails, the hub continues to work with the previous APN settings.
Mobile data usage. The menu contains information about mobile traffic used by an Ajax system, allowing you to reset the statistics and check the SIM card balance.
The data is calculated by the hub and may differ from the operator’s statistics. This is because each mobile operator calculates incoming and outgoing traffic individually.
- Incoming — the amount of data received by the hub. Displayed in KB or MB.
- Outgoing — the amount of data sent by the hub. Displayed in KB or MB.
Reset statistics — allows resetting the statistics for incoming and outgoing traffic.
Check balance
USSD code. Enter the code used to check the balance in this field. For example, *111#. To send a request, tap Check balance after entering the code. The request result will be displayed under the balance check button.
Communication method
The setting allows selecting the preferred antenna for cellular data transmission:
- Auto-switching between antennas — the hub will prioritize Ajax ExternalAntenna if it is available (connected and not damaged).
- External — the hub does not switch to an internal antenna and tries to use only the external one.
- Built-in — the hub uses an internal antenna.
Wi-Fi
Settings for Wi-Fi internet connection. The general list displays all networks available to the hub.
- Wi-Fi — allows turning on/off Wi-Fi on the hub. Once the network is selected, its settings open.
- DHCP/Static — allows selecting the method for the hub to obtain an IP address. If DHCP is selected, the hub automatically obtains its IP address and other network settings. The Static option allows you to manually set the IP address and other network settings for the hub.

- Gateway — the gateway used by the hub.
- DNS — the hub DNS.
- Forget this network — if this option is selected, the hub will delete the network settings and disconnects from it.
Keypad access codes
The setting allows configuring keypad codes for people who are not registered in the system.
You can create a code for people who are not added to the space. This is convenient, for example, to provide a cleaning company with access to security management. An unregistered user simply needs to enter the access code on the Ajax keypad to arm or disarm the system.
To set the access code for an unregistered user in the system:
- Tap Add code.
- Set Username and Access сode.
- Tap Add.
To set a duress code, change the access code, configure group access, Night mode, or code ID, or temporarily disable or delete this code, select it from the list and make the necessary changes.
The created access codes are valid for all keypads connected to the hub. Superior MegaHub (without casing) supports up to 1,000 access codes.
The access code must contain 4 to 6 digits.
Superior MegaHub (without casing) supports over 1,000,000 code variations.
Code length restrictions
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
Set the requirements for the length of codes used for user authorization and system access. You can choose the Flexible (4 to 6 symbols) option or set a fixed code length: 4 symbols, 5 symbols, or 6 symbols.
Note: when you set the fixed code length, the system resets all previously configured access codes.
The fixed code length is required for the Easy armed mode change feature. It allows users to disarm the system without pressing the Disarm button on the keypad once the code is entered or an access device is used.
Detection zone test
This setting allows running the Detection zone test for connected devices. With this test, you can check the operation of devices and their alarm detection zone.
Walk test
With this test, you can check all detectors and ensure their proper operation. When the system is switched to the testing mode, it does not raise an alarm or send it to monitoring software. This allows each detector or device to be triggered without causing a false alarm. However, the system still reports malfunctions and tamper alarm events to monitoring software.
In the Walk test menu, you can set the Walk test auto-exit time, review the latest test results, and start/stop the test.
Jeweller/Fibra
Setting the polling period between the hub and connected devices. The setting indicates how often the hub communicates with the devices and how quickly a connection loss is detected.
- Device ping interval, sec — the frequency of polling connected devices by the hub; set in the range from 12 to 300 seconds. The default value is 36 seconds. The value is configured for both wired and wireless devices.
- Number of missed pings to determine connection failure — a counter of undelivered packets. The value is configured separately for wireless and wired devices and is eight packets by default.
Do not reduce the default polling interval value unnecessarily.
The time after which the system sends a message about a connection loss between the hub and the device is calculated with the following formula:
Device polling interval × Number of missed polls to determine connection failure
The shorter the polling period, the faster the hub will know about the connected device events, and the faster the devices will receive hub commands. Information about alarms and sabotage attempts is transmitted instantly, regardless of the polling interval. Reducing the polling period will affect the battery life of wireless devices.
The polling interval limits the maximum number of connected devices:
| Interval, s | Device limit | Interval, s | Device limit |
| 12 | 39 | 168 | 559 |
| 24 | 79 | 180 | 599 |
| 36 (by default) | 119 | 192 | 639 |
| 48 | 159 | 204 | 679 |
| 60 | 199 | 216 | 719 |
| 72 | 239 | 228 | 759 |
| 84 | 279 | 240 | 799 |
| 96 | 319 | 252 | 839 |
| 108 | 359 | 264 | 879 |
| 120 | 399 | 276 | 919 |
| 132 | 439 | 288 | 959 |
| 144 | 479 | 300 | 999 |
| 156 | 519 |
The hub supports both devices with the new firmware version (i.e., with the “999 ready” label) and devices with the legacy firmware version. However, no more than 250 devices with the legacy firmware can be added to the hub. The remaining devices within the 999 limit must have the new firmware version.
Send alarm when connected device goes offline — when enabled, events about connection loss are sent as alarms to all system users.
Radio interference detection — the following settings ensure the system complies with the EN 50131 (Grade 3) requirements. There are two options:
- Advanced radio interference detection.
- Send radio interference detection event as alarm — if enabled, the notification of a high radio interference level will be sent as an alarm to all system users.
Communication method
The setting allows selecting the preferred antenna for communication with devices via Jeweller and Wings channels:
- Auto-switching between antennas — the hub will prioritize Ajax ExternalAntenna if it is available (connected and not damaged).
- External — the hub does not switch to an internal antenna and tries to use only the external one.
- Built-in — the hub uses an internal antenna.
Lines
A group of settings for wired Fibra devices.
Line power supply — allows controlling the power supply of the Superior MegaHub (without casing) lines. Opens a menu where you can enable or disable each line power supply. When the setting is enabled, power is supplied to Fibra devices connected to the selected line. Power is on by default.
Ring-connected lines — allows creating a ring in the app and then manually connecting lines by selecting the relevant inputs.
Line power test — allows running the Superior MegaHub (without casing) line power test. It simulates the maximum possible power consumption: detectors raise alarms, keypads are activated, and sirens are turned on.
If the test is successful, all wired devices will have enough power in any situation.
When the line power test is running, the wired sirens connected to the hub are activated.
Add all Fibra devices — allows running Fibra line scanning. The feature shows all wired devices connected to the hub. This helps quickly configure device names, groups, and rooms.
Telephony settings
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
Telephony settings allow configuring the hub to communicate with the monitoring station via the SIP protocol.
In Ajax PRO Desktop, you can create and apply a telephony setting template to save time when configuring multiple systems.
Service
Hub service settings are divided into two groups: general settings and advanced settings.
General settings
LED brightness
This setting allows configuring the hub’s LED indicator brightness.
Firmware update
The menu contains the hub firmware update settings.
- Firmware auto-update configures automatic OS Malevich updates. The setting is enabled by default:
- If enabled, the firmware is automatically updated when a new version is available. The system must be disarmed, and an external power source must be connected to the hub.
- If disabled, the system is not updated automatically. If a new firmware version is available, the app will prompt you to update OS Malevich.
- Check for new version allows manually checking and installing firmware updates when they are available or assigned to the hub. This option is available only when the Firmware auto-update setting is enabled.
If the hub firmware is outdated, an error may occur when you add a device to the hub. In this case, the system will prompt you to open the Firmware update section in the Service settings and check for a new firmware version. If it is available, you can proceed with an on-demand firmware update.
Hub system logging
This setting allows selecting the hub log transmission channel or disabling log recording:
- Ethernet — system logs are transmitted via the Ethernet channel.
- Wi-Fi — system logs are transmitted via the Wi-Fi channel.
- Off — logging is disabled.
Logs are files containing information about system operation. Do not disable the logs, as this information may be helpful in case of system errors.
Delaying notifications of external power loss
This setting allows configuring a delay time for sending an external power loss notification.
You can select the delay time from 1 minute to 1 hour in 1-minute increments.
“While hub offline” event amount
In case of server connection failure, events are recorded in the hub buffer and will be delivered to Ajax apps once the connection is restored.
This setting allows choosing the number of recent events that the hub will send to Ajax apps after returning to normal operation.
You can select from 100 (default value) to 1,000 events with an increment of 50 events.
Advanced settings
PD 6662 setting wizard
The setting allows opening a step-by-step guide for configuring the system in accordance with the PD 6662:2017 British security standard.
Server connection
These settings allow configuring the connection between the hub and the Ajax Cloud server:
- Delay of server connection failure alarm. The delay is necessary to reduce the risk of false notifications of a connection loss with the Ajax Cloud server. It is activated after three unsuccessful hub–server polls. The delay can be set in the range from 30 to 600 s. The recommended default value is 300 s.
- Hub-server polling interval, sec. Indicates the frequency of polling requests from the hub to the Ajax Cloud server. It can be set in the range from 10 to 300 s. The recommended default value is 60 s.
The time before the hub sends a notification of a connection loss with the Ajax Cloud server is calculated with the following formula:
(Polling interval × 3) + Time filter.
With the default settings, Ajax Cloud detects a connection loss with the hub within 8 minutes:
(60 s * 3) + 300 s = 8 min.
- Get notified of server connection loss without alarm. Ajax apps can notify users of a connection loss between the hub and the server in two ways: with a standard push notification or with a siren sound (enabled by default). When the option is active, the notification comes as a standard push.
- Notify of connection loss over channels. An Ajax system can notify both users and the monitoring company of a connection loss between the hub and the Ajax Cloud server even via one of the communication channels.
In the menu, you can select the communication channels through which the system will notify users of a connection loss, as well as the transmission delay for such notifications.
- Loss notification delay — the delay time before the system sends a connection loss notification via one of the communication channels. The delay can be set in the range from 3 to 30 minutes.
The time for the system to send a connection loss notification via one of the communication channels is calculated with the following formula:
(Polling interval × 3) + Time filter + Notification delay.
Sounds and alerts
These settings are divided into three groups.
Alert with siren
If lid of hub or any detector is open. When the setting is enabled, the hub activates the connected sirens if the enclosure of the hub, detector, or any other Ajax device is open.
If in-app panic button is pressed. When the setting is enabled, the hub activates the connected sirens if the panic button is pressed in an Ajax app.
You can disable the siren response to pressing the panic button of Ajax key fob in its settings in an Ajax app (Devices → Ajax key fob → Settings
).
Restart alarm signal on triggering of each detector. If the setting is enabled, each new alarm from the intrusion detector will restart the siren alarm. You can disable this setting so that the siren only responds to alarms from the first detector that was triggered.
Beep with keypad
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
The keypads added to the hub will emit an audible signal to inform users of malfunctions. To activate audible notifications, enable the If any device is offline and If battery of any device is low toggles.
Ajax keypads with the following or later firmware versions support audible malfunction notifications:
- 5.57.1.1 for KeyPad Jeweller;
- 5.57.5.0 for KeyPad Plus Jeweller;
- 6.57.11.12 for Superior KeyPad Fibra.
Battery settings
These settings are divided into the following groups:
- Battery power saver
- Maximize battery life
- Stop battery charging if faulty
- Notify if battery fails to charge
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
Battery power saver
The Save hub backup battery charge setting allows for extending the backup battery life when an external power supply is unavailable. When this setting is enabled, the hub switches to standby mode once it loses the external power supply.
To save the backup battery charge, the hub disables its connection channels (cellular network, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi) when it switches to standby mode. Therefore, the hub in standby mode is not connected to Ajax Cloud and the monitoring station until any system event occurs. In Ajax apps, the hub and devices added to it will be greyed out and unavailable for configuration or control; the hub will be in the Saving mode state, and the devices added to it will be Offline. The space in the space list will be marked with the additional Saving mode state.
Standby mode does not affect system operation. Any detector triggering activates the hub for a specified time to transmit the event to users and the monitoring station. In standby mode, the hub LED flashes red every 30 seconds, and the LED brightness is reduced to the minimum.
If the hub is in standby mode, switching security modes is possible only via an Ajax keypad or a key fob. Switching system security modes and configuring the hub in standby mode via Ajax apps are not provided.
Enable Save hub backup battery charge to configure the hub operation time:
| Setting | Meaning |
| Activity period | The time during which the hub remains connected to Ajax Cloud after any system event occurs is set to 10 minutes by default. However, you can configure this time from 5 minutes to 1 hour. |
| Server polling interval | The time between the hub connections to the server in standby mode is set to 6 hours by default. However, you can adjust this time from 1 hour to 24 hours. |
The Battery power saver feature allows extending the backup battery life up to 200 hours for Superior MegaHub (without casing) when a 12 V⎓ backup battery with a capacity of 18 Ah is used. This time depends on the system configuration and the number of devices added to the hub.
When the Battery power saver feature is enabled, your system does not comply with EN 50131 (Grade 2, 3).
Note: if there is at least one range extender added to the hub via Ethernet in your system, the hub will not switch to standby mode. This is necessary to maintain the connection with devices added via the range extender.
For systems with voice modules: the monitoring station operator can communicate via voice modules only during the hub’s Activity period when the hub stays connected to Ajax Cloud. An ongoing call can not prolong the hub’s activity period; therefore, the call will end automatically once the hub switches to Saving mode.
Maximize battery life
The Maximize battery life feature extends the life of the hub’s backup battery. When the setting is enabled, charging stops at 100% and resumes at 80% battery charge.
Stop battery charging if faulty
When this setting is enabled, the battery stops charging automatically if a malfunction occurs after 40 hours of continuous charging. Reconnect the battery to resume charging.
Notify if battery fails to charge
When this setting is enabled, you will receive a notification if the battery has not reached a full charge for a long period. This setting is enabled by default.
Fire detectors settings
These settings allow configuring the Interconnected fire detector alarm feature, which activates the built-in sirens of all Ajax fire detectors if at least one of them is triggered.
System integrity check
This setting allows checking the state of security detectors, devices, and followed groups before the system is armed. System integrity check is disabled by default.
Alarm confirmation
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
This is a special event that the hub sends to the monitoring station and system users if several devices specified by an admin have been triggered within a specified period of time.
By responding to confirmed alarms, the monitoring company and the police reduce the number of unnecessary dispatches.
Restoration after alarm
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
The feature prevents the system from being armed if an alarm has been previously registered. To arm the system, an authorized user or PRO must restore it. The types of alarms that require system restoration are defined during feature configuration.
The feature eliminates situations when a 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 for configuring the 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 response only to real threats.
- VdS — German standard for intrusion 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 for reducing false alarms caused by users or equipment.
EN 50131
Once EN 50131 is enabled, you can configure the Two-stage arming, Exit time restart, and Exit error parameters 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 displays the number of arming/disarming settings that allow configuring the system in accordance with standard requirements.
Use the corresponding step-by-step guide in the Ajax PRO app for a quick and convenient system setup in accordance with PD 6662. Go to Hub → Settings → Service → PD 6662 setting wizard and follow the app prompts.
VdS
Once VdS is enabled, all devices in the system will operate without exit delays; however, entry delays will still be in effect.
The system automatically checks whether all doors and locks are closed. The door is locked with the third-party Blocking element when the system is armed. Additionally, the system checks whether the door is locked to ensure that the system is armed according to the unavoidability principle (German: Zwangsläufigkeit).
The system cannot be armed if it has malfunctions. If there are any malfunctions or the door is not locked, the system sends a notification of the unsuccessful arming event.
ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019
Only Hub 2 (4G) Jeweller and Hub 2 Plus Jeweller are certified in accordance with ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019.
Once ANSI/SIA CP-01-2019 is enabled, you can configure Exit time restart and Unvacated premises in the arming settings. In the disarming settings, you can select which devices should signal Alarm cancellation or Alarm abort and configure the Alarm abort window timeout.
Also, this standard requires several system features to be enabled, such as entry/exit delays, cross zoning, device auto-deactivation, and system testing. These features are configured in the hub and specific device settings.
Day alarm
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
Day alarm is a special security mode that allows monitoring certain areas of the facility and controlling access to them when the system is disarmed.
Devices auto deactivation
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
This feature allows ignoring alarms and/or other device events without removing them from the system. Events from disabled devices will not be sent to system users and the monitoring company.
There are three types of device auto-deactivation: by timer, by number of alarms, and by number of similar events. It is also possible to manually deactivate a specific device.
LED indication
This setting is only available in Ajax PRO apps.
This setting allows selecting the system states and events that the hub’s LED indicator will display. One of two options can be chosen:
