Operating principle
Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller is a wireless IR motion detector with an anti-masking system. It identifies intrusions by detecting moving objects with temperatures close to that of the human body.
In case of an alarm, it instantly sends an alarm to the hub, activating the sirens connected to the system, triggering scenarios, and notifying users and the security company. All Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller alarms and events are recorded in the event feed of the 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 device is assigned.
The detector does not switch to armed mode instantly. The switching time depends on the delay when leaving (specified in the device settings) and the hub–detector polling interval. The polling interval specified in the Jeweller settings is 36 seconds by default. In the first case, the delay is set by a user or a PRO with admin rights. In the second case, the delay occurs because the hub takes one polling interval to notify the detector about the security mode change.
Protection against false alarms
Superior MotionProtect G3 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.
Temperature compensation
Due to temperature compensation, the detector responds to movements, even if the temperature at the facility 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. Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller detects the following types of masking:
- An obstacle in front of the detector’s motion sensor sensitive area.
- Painting over the detector’s motion sensor sensitive area.
- Taping the detector’s motion sensor sensitive area.
The system notifies users and the security company’s monitoring station about masking. The maximum masking detection time is up to 120 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.
Superior Jeweller data transfer protocols
Superior Jeweller is an upgraded radio protocol for Superior devices, ensuring compliance with EN 50131 (Grade 3). It features advanced encryption and frequency hopping. Full frequency hopping is available only when all devices in the system use Superior Jeweller. If at least one device operates via the regular Jeweller protocol, the system will be limited to Grade 2: encryption remains, but frequency hopping is disabled. Superior devices can also operate using the regular Jeweller protocol, depending on the hub.
Advanced encrypted communication
Communication between Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller and the hub is protected by an advanced encryption scheme that ensures data confidentiality and integrity. This means that all sensitive data in the 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.
Frequency hopping
To comply with the Grade 3 requirements, Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller uses frequency hopping for radio communication with the hub (or the radio signal range extender). With this method, the hub and devices added to it change their operating frequency according to a defined pattern. The hopping sequence covers a defined set of channels within the operating bands, and 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 the system’s reliability and performance and ensures its resistance to intentional interference and jamming attempts.
Frequency hopping does not cause delays or pauses during radio communication and does not reduce the data transfer speed. If range extenders are added to the system, the frequency hopping is used for all radio communications: “device ↔ range extender” and “range extender ↔ hub”.
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.
Sending events to the monitoring station
The Ajax system can transmit alarms to the PRO Desktop monitoring app as well as the central monitoring station (CMS) in the formats of SurGard (Contact ID), SIA (DC-09), ADEMCO 685, and other protocols.
Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller can transmit the following events:
- Motion alarm.
- Masking alarm.
- IR sensor malfunction/recovery.
- Masking sensor malfunction/recovery.
- Tamper alarm. Tamper recovery.
- Low battery alarm/recovery.
- Loss and 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 of the security company monitoring station knows what happened and precisely where to send a fast response team. The addressability of Ajax devices allows sending events to the PRO Desktop or the CMS, the type of the device, its name, security group, and virtual room. The list of transmitted parameters may differ depending on the type of CMS and the selected communication protocol.
You can find the device ID and loop (zone) number in the device states.
Selecting the installation site
When choosing where to place Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller, consider the parameters that affect its operation:
- Jeweller and Wings signal strength.
- The distance between the device and the hub.
- Detection zone.
- The presence of objects or structures that can obstruct the detector’s view.
Consider the recommendations for placement when developing a project for the system of the facility. The Ajax system must be designed and installed by specialists. A list of recommended partners is available here.
Signal strength
The signal strength is the ratio of undelivered or corrupted data packages to those expected over a specific 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; stable operation is not guaranteed.
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 and Wings signal strength test before final installation. The test checks the signal strength at the device’s maximum transmission power. If the test shows the signal strength of one or zero bars, we do not guarantee the device will operate stably. Consider relocating it, as adjusting its position even by 8 inches or rotating it relative to the hub can significantly improve the signal strength. If the signal remains poor or unstable after relocation, consider using a radio signal range extender.
Refer to the Functionality testing section to learn how to run the Jeweller and Wings signal strength tests.
Motion detector detection area
The location of the detector determines the area to be monitored and the effectiveness of the security system. When selecting the installation place, consider the direction of the detector sensors, viewing angles, and the presence of obstacles to the detector’s view.
The detector can recognize motion at a distance of up to 49 ft. The direction of the detector sensors should be perpendicular to the intended entry path into the premises. Ensure that furniture, house plants, vases, and decorative or glass elements do not obstruct the view of the detector.
Horizontal characteristics of the motion detection area
Vertical characteristics of the motion detection area
When installing the detector, perform the Detection zone test. This allows you to check the operation of the device and accurately determine the sector in which the detector registers motion.
Where not to install the device
- Outdoors. This could damage the device.
- In places where objects and structures may obstruct the detector’s view. For example, behind a flower or a column.
- In places where glass structures may obstruct the detector’s view; it doesn’t register movement behind glass.
- Inside premises with temperature and humidity outside the permissible limits. This could damage the device.
- In places with low or unstable Jeweller signal strength.
- Closer than 3 ft to the hub or radio signal range extender.
Installation
Before installing Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller, ensure that you have chosen the optimal location that complies with the requirements of this manual.
- Remove the SmartBracket mounting panel from the detector.
- Temporarily secure the SmartBracket panel to a vertical surface or corner using double-sided adhesive tape or other temporary fasteners. This is necessary for testing the detector. The installation height is 7.9 ft.
- Add the detector to the system.
- Place the detector on the SmartBracket mounting panel and lock it.
- Run the functionality testing.
- If the detector passes the tests, fix the SmartBracket mounting panel to a vertical surface with bundled screws. Use at least two fixing points (one is in the perforated part of the mount above the tamper). The tamper reacts if someone tries to break or open the lid of the enclosure — the notification about this is sent to Ajax apps.To fix SmartBracket on the corner, screw the bundled fasteners to the side recesses. Use at least two fixing points (one is in the perforated part of the mount above the tamper).When using other mounts, make sure they do not damage or deform the mounting panel.
Double-sided adhesive tape can be used for temporary fastening as the device can come unglued from the surface at any time. As long as the device is taped, the tamper will not be triggered when the detector is detached from the surface.
- Put the detector on the SmartBracket mounting panel and lock it. The lock for SmartBracket has a tamper and is needed to securely fix the detector and protect it from quick dismantling. The tamper responds if someone tries to unlock the lock for SmartBracket, and the notification about this is sent to Ajax apps.
Adding to the system
Check the device compatibility before the detector is added to the system. Only verified partners can add and configure Superior devices in Ajax PRO apps.
Before adding a device
- Install an Ajax PRO app.
- Log in to a PRO account or create a new one.
- Select a space or create a new one.
- Add at least one virtual room.
- 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.
- Check the states in the Ajax app to ensure the space is disarmed and the hub is not starting an update.
Adding to the hub
- Open an Ajax PRO app. Select a space to which you want to add the device.
- Go to the Devices tab and tap Add device.
- Assign a name to the device.
- Scan a QR code or enter the device ID manually. The QR code with the device ID is placed on the device enclosure. Also, it is duplicated on the device packaging.
- Select a virtual room and a security group (if Group mode is enabled).
- Tap Add, and the countdown will begin.
- Switch on the device by holding the power button for 3 seconds.
If the connection fails, try again in 5 seconds. If the maximum number of devices has already been added to the hub, you will receive an error notification when you try to add more.
Once added to the hub, the device will appear in the list of hub devices in the Ajax app. The update frequency for device states in the list depends on the Jeweller or Jeweller/Fibra settings and is 36 seconds by default.
Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller works with only one hub. When paired with 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 through the Ajax app.
Functionality testing
The Ajax system offers several types of tests to help select the correct installation place for the devices. Available for Superior MotionProtect G3 Jeweller:
- Jeweller signal strength test — to determine the signal strength and stability between the hub (or the radio signal range extender) and the device via the wireless Jeweller data transfer protocol at the device installation site.
- Signal attenuation test — to decrease or increase the power of the radio transmitter; to check the stability of communication between the device and the hub, the changing environment at the site is simulated.
- Detection zone test — to check how the detector responds to motion and masking at the device installation site.
- Calibration of masking sensor — to register the detector’s field of view characteristics at the installation site. These characteristics will be used as a reference for masking detection.
- Device self-test — to check if all detector’s built-in sensors operate properly.
