Operating principle

ManualCallPoint Jeweller enables scenario or alarm triggering in case of an emergency. Lift the transparent protective lid (if installed) and press the central part (resettable frangible element) to activate. This action moves the frangible element inward, raising the alarm. Two yellow stripes will appear at the top and bottom, indicating the device’s state.

By default, the system activates Ajax automation devices through scenarios, such as turning the power of the devices on or off and unlocking the exit. Once ManualCallPoint Jeweller is triggered, users and a connected central monitoring station (CMS) receive a notification under the Smart home event tab. Resetting ManualCallPoint Jeweller with a special tool (key) can also activate a scenario.

When Fire Alarm operating mode is enabled, the system activates the built-in sirens of fire detectors and intrusion sirens. An alarm signal is then transmitted to the central monitoring station (CMS). Users receive sound alarm notifications in the Ajax app. The system can be configured to send Critical Alerts that bypass “silent” or “do not disturb” phone settings.

The alarm duration on Ajax sirens depends on the time selected in the siren’s settings if the If fire alarm button is pressed feature is enabled in the Alert with siren section. When the Interconnected fire detectors alarm feature is enabled in hub’s settings, the alarm on the Ajax fire detectors with built-in sirens remains active until the ManualCallPoint Jeweller is reset. To reset the device, insert the special bundled key into the corresponding hole.

After resetting, the button is ready to be reused.

The device features a transparent lid to prevent accidental presses during installation and use. However, installing the lid is optional.

ManualCallPoint Jeweller operates in two modes: Scenario Trigger and Fire Alarm.

Scenario Trigger mode

In the Scenario Trigger mode, ManualCallPoint Jeweller allows you to control one or more automation devices by pressing the button.

To bind an automation device action to the ManualCallPoint Jeweller press, follow these steps:

1. Open the Ajax app and go to the Devices tab.
2. Select ManualCallPoint Jeweller from the list of devices and go to Settings by clicking the gear icon .
3. Select the Scenario Trigger mode in the Operating Mode section.
4. Go to the Scenarios menu. If you are creating a scenario for the first time, click Create Scenario. If you have already created scenarios in the system, click Add Scenario.
5. Select one or more automation devices to execute the action.
6. Enter the Scenario Name and specify the Device Action to be executed by pressing ManualCallPoint Jeweller:
   • Switch on;
   • Switch off.
7. If you’ve selected multiple devices, specify which of them will trigger the scenario: any from the list or all selected devices during the set time.
   

   The Device Action setting is unavailable when configuring a scenario for automation devices operating in pulse mode. When the scenario runs, these devices will close/open the contacts for a set time. You can adjust the operating mode and pulse duration in the automation device settings.

8. Click Save. The new scenario will now appear in the device scenarios list.

Fire Alarm mode

When the button is pressed in the Fire Alarm mode, the system transmits an alarm signal to users in the app and the CMS. The CMS alarm transmission is optional and can be configured.

In the Fire Alarm mode, pressing ManualCallPoint Jeweller will raise an alarm regardless of the system security mode.

Sending events to the monitoring station

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

ManualCallPoint Jeweller can transmit the following events:

1. Scenario or fire alarm/recovery.
2. Tamper alarm/recovery.
3. Loss/restoration of connection with the hub.
4. Permanent deactivation/activation of the button.

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

The ID and the loop (zone) number of the device can be found in its states in the Ajax app.

Adding to the system

ManualCallPoint Jeweller is incompatible with Hub, third-party security control panels, or ocBridge Plus and uartBridge integration modules.

To connect ManualCallPoint Jeweller to the hub, the device must be located at the same secured facility as the system (within ​​the hub’s radio network range). When using ReX or ReX 2 radio signal range extender, add the device to the hub first, then connect it to ReX or ReX 2 in the range extender settings.

The hub and the device operating at different radio frequencies are incompatible. The radio-frequency range of the device may vary by 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 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.
   What is a space
   How to create a space
   

   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.

Connecting to the hub

1. Open the Ajax app and select the hub where you want to add the button.
2. Go to the Devices tab and click Add device.
3. Name the button, then scan or manually input the QR code (located on the button and the package box). Next, select a room and a group (if Group mode is enabled).
4. Click Add.

Device placement

The device is designed for indoor use only.

When choosing a location for ManualCallPoint Jeweller, consider the parameters that affect its operation:

• Jeweller signal strength;
• the distance between the device and the hub or radio signal range extender;
• the presence of barriers that might hinder radio signal transmission between devices, such as walls, intermediate floors, ceilings, or large objects located in the premises.

ManualCallPoint Jeweller should be located on escape routes, particularly at all storey exits and all exits to open air leading to an ultimate place of safety (even if these exits are not labeled as fire exits).

ManualCallPoint Jeweller should be fixed at a height of 1.4 m above the finished floor level, in easily accessible, well-illuminated, and conspicuous positions free from potential obstruction. They should be set against a contrasting background for easy recognition. A lower mounting height is acceptable if there’s a high likelihood that the first person to raise a fire alarm will be a wheelchair user.

Consider the placement recommendations when designing the security system project for the facility. The security system should be designed and installed by professionals. A list of recommended partners is available here.

Signal strength

The Jeweller signal strength is determined by the number of undelivered or corrupted data packages over a certain period of time. The icon on the Devices tab 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 signal strength before the 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.

How not to install the button

1. Outdoors, as it can lead to false alarms and device failure.
2. Inside premises with temperature and humidity levels outside the permissible limits, as this can damage the device.
3. Closer than 1 meter to the hub or radio signal range extender to prevent connection loss with the hub.
4. In areas with low or unstable signal strength, this may result in connection loss with the hub.
5. In hard-to-reach or poorly lit places.

Installation

Before installing ManualCallPoint Jeweller, ensure that you have selected the optimal location that complies with the requirements of this manual.

To mount the button:

1. Remove SmartBracket mounting panel from the button. To do this, insert the special tool into the hole and slide the mounting plate down.

   

2. Fix SmartBracket mounting panel using double-sided tape or other temporary fasteners. Place the mounting panel on a vertical surface at a height of 1.4 meters.
   

   Use double-sided tape only for temporary attachment. If the device is only attached with tape, it may detach from the surface at any time, and the tamper will not trigger if the device is removed.

3. Place the button, with the transparent lid closed, onto SmartBracket mounting panel. The device’s LED indicator will flash, signaling the tamper on the button is closed.
4. Run the Jeweller signal strength test. Aim for a signal strength of two or three bars.
5. Remove the button from SmartBracket.
6. Securely attach SmartBracket mounting panel using the bundled screws at all fixation points. One fixation point is in the perforated part of the mounting panel above the tamper. If using alternative fasteners, ensure they do not damage or deform the mounting panel.
7. Reattach the button onto SmartBracket mounting panel.

The special tool has a hole in its enclosure, making it handy to carry. Those responsible for fire safety might find it convenient to attach the special tool to their keychain.

Actions to take in case of a fire alarm

NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM! Always assume the alarm is real and evacuate from the premises immediately, even if you have doubts about the cause of the alarm signal.

1. Don’t open doors if you feel heat or smoke behind them. Check other exits and use an alternative escape route. Always close doors behind you when leaving.
   

   If heavy smoke enters a room, stay close to the floor and crawl out. If possible, breathe through a wet cloth or try to hold your breath. Be aware that smoke inhalation causes more death than fire.

2. Evacuate as quickly as you can, don’t panic. Save time, don’t pack your things. Arrange a meeting place outside for everyone in the building. Ensure everyone has evacuated safely.
3. Call the fire department immediately, or ask someone nearby. Remember, even small fires can spread rapidly; call the fire department even if the alarm is automatically transmitted to a monitoring station.

NEVER come back to the house on fire.

Maintenance

Clean the device’s enclosure to remove dust, cobwebs, and other contaminants as they emerge. Use soft, dry wipes suitable for cleaning electronic equipment. Avoid using substances that contain alcohol, acetone, petrol, and other active solvents when cleaning the device.

The pre-installed battery lasts up to 7 years with typical use (one press of one minute per week). Using it more often may reduce its lifespan. You can monitor the battery level at any time in the Ajax app.
