Operating principle
Transmitter Fibra is designed to integrate a third-party wired device into an Ajax system. The integration module receives information about alarms, malfunctions, and events from the device through a wired connection. After that, it sends the event to Hub Hybrid using the Fibra wired communication protocol. Then, Hub Hybrid sends notifications to users and the security company CMS (central monitoring station).
The wired device connected to Transmitter Fibra can operate in one of the following sensor modes:
- Detect alarms
- Switch arming modes
- Control of blocking element
- Control of bolt lock
Transmitter Fibra is used to integrate panic or auxiliary buttons, indoor or outdoor motion detectors, as well as opening, vibration, glass break, fire, gas, or water leak detectors, etc.
Also, you can set up KeyArm Zone that allows switching system arming modes with a third-party device connected to Transmitter Fibra. KeyArm allows you to arm/disarm the system, individual groups, or manage Night Mode.
The device type is specified in the settings of the zone to which the wired device is connected. The selected type determines the text of alarm notifications and events of the connected device, as well as event codes transmitted to the CMS.
Sensor modes Control of blocking element and Control of bolt lock is used to integrate third party blocking elements and bolt switch contacts to the Ajax system according to the unavoidability principle (German: Zwangsläufigkeit).

Wired devices connection types
- Without EOL.
- EOL (connection with one resistor).
- 2EOL (connection with two resistors).
- 3EOL (connection with three resistors).
- Roller Shutter.
In the Ajax app, you can select the normal state (normally open or normally closed) for the terminal pairs: alarm, tamper, and malfunction. This allows connecting any potential-free “dry” contact detector of any configuration to Transmitter Fibra.
Fibra data transfer protocol
The integration module uses Fibra technology to transmit alarms and events. It is a wired data transfer protocol for fast and reliable two-way communication between the hub and integration module. Using the bus connection method, Fibra delivers alarms and events instantly, even if 100 devices are connected to the system.
Fibra supports block encryption featuring a dynamic key and verifies each communication session with devices to prevent sabotage and spoofing. The protocol provides for regular polling of devices by the hub at a specified frequency to control communication and display the state of system devices in Ajax apps.
Sending events to the monitoring station
The Ajax system can transmit alarms to both PRO Desktop monitoring app and the central monitoring station (CMS) in the formats of SurGard (Contact ID), SIA DC-09 (ADM-CID), ADEMCO 685, and other protocols.
Transmitter Fibra can transmit the following events:
- Alarm/restoration of the connected device.
- Loss/recovery of communication between Transmitter Fibra, connected devices, and the hub.
- Permanent deactivation/activation of Transmitter Fibra and connected devices.
- One-time deactivation/activation of Transmitter Fibra and connected devices.
- Short circuit on the line/power supply restoration of connected devices.
- Short circuit of or damage to the line connecting third-party devices to Transmitter Fibra (for EOL connections).
When an alarm is received, the operator at the security company’s monitoring station 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. Please note that the list of transmitted parameters might vary depending on the CMS type and the selected communication protocol for the monitoring station.
The device’s ID and number can be found in its states in the Ajax app.
Adding to the system
Transmitter Fibra is compatible only with Hub Hybrid (2G) and Hub Hybrid (4G). Only verified partners can add and configure Fibra 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.
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.
- 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.
- Ensure the space is disarmed, and the hub is not starting an update by checking statuses in the Ajax app.
Connecting to the hub
There are two ways to add devices in the Ajax PRO app: automatically and manually.
- Open the Ajax PRO app and select the hub to which you want to add Transmitter Fibra.
- Go to the Devices tab and click Add device.

Once connected to the hub, the module will appear in the list of hub devices in the Ajax app. The device status update frequency in the list depends on the Jeweller/Fibra settings, with the default value of 36 seconds.
Transmitter Fibra works with only one hub. When connected to a new hub, the device stops sending events to the old one.
Adding the module 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.
Adding a connected wired device
In the Ajax system, each device connected to Transmitter Fibra occupies one slot within the hub’s device limit.
- In the Ajax PRO app, go to the Devices tab.
- Find Transmitter Fibra in the device list.
- Click on the Devices menu under the integration module icon.
- Click Add Device.
- Assign a name to the device.
- Select the wired zone to which the device will be physically connected.
- Select a virtual room and a security group if the Group Mode is enabled.
- Press Add Device. The device will be added within 30 seconds.
The device status update depends on the Jeweller/Fibra settings; the default value is 36 seconds.
If the connection attempt fails, verify that the wired connection is correctly set up before trying again. If the maximum number of devices (100 for Hub Hybrid) has already been added to the hub, you will receive an error notification while adding.
Malfunctions
When a Transmitter Fibra malfunction is detected, the Ajax app displays a malfunction counter on the device icon. All malfunctions are indicated in the module states. Fields with malfunctions will be highlighted in red.
A malfunction is displayed if connection with a hub is lost.
A malfunction of the connected device is displayed if:
- The device enclosure is open (tamper triggering).
- There is no connection between the integration module and the device (contacts damaged).
- Incorrect connection of resistors (resistor resistance error).
- Short circuit on the power supply line for the device.
Fire alarms reset
In case of an alarm of a fire detector connected to Transmitter Fibra, the Ajax app displays the notification prompting to reset the alarm. The reset returns the fire detector to its normal state so it can continue detecting a fire.
If you do not reset the fire alarm, the detector will not respond to the next fire, as it will remain in alarm mode.
There are two ways to reset fire alarms:
1. Tap Reset in the fire alarm notification in the app.
2. Go to the Devices tab 
and find Transmitter Fibra in the list. Tap

Functionality testingThe Ajax system offers several types of tests to help select the correct installation place for the devices. The tests do not start immediately; however, the waiting time does not exceed the duration of one “hub—device” polling interval. You can check and configure the polling interval in the hub settings (Hub → Settings 
→ Jeweller/Fibra).To run a test, in the Ajax app:
- Select the required hub.
- Go to the Devices tab.
- Select Transmitter Fibra from the list.
- Go to the Settings .
- Run the Fibra Signal Strength Test.
Device placementFollow these recommendations when designing the system project for an object. Only professionals should design and install the Ajax system. The list of authorized Ajax partners is available here.
Installing into a wired deviceTransmitter Fibra should be installed inside the wired detector casing. The module requires a space with the following minimum dimensions: 40 × 15 × 12.2 mm. Installation inside the wired detector casing protects Transmitter Fibra from external impacts and secures it with a tamper alarm.
How not to install Transmitter Fibra
- In places where temperature and humidity levels exceed the permissible limits, as this can damage the module.
- In places with low or unstable Fibra signal strength, as this might cause a loss of connection with the hub.
Fibra signal strengthThe Fibra 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.
Lines Power Supply TestThe test simulates the maximum energy consumption of devices connected to the hub. If the system passes the test successfully, all its devices have enough power supply in any situation.
If the connected third-party device requires power supply from Transmitter Fibra, make sure you set the correct Connected Detectors Current Consumption value in the Transmitter Fibra settings. It is required for the accurate Lines Power Supply Test results.
After the test, the app displays a notification with the status of each line:
- Test passed.
- Test passed with malfunctions.
- Test failed.
DesigningIt is crucial to design the system project properly to ensure the correct installation and configuration of the devices. The design must consider the number and types of devices at the object, their exact locations and installation heights, the length of wired Fibra lines, the type of cable used, and other parameters. Refer to the article to learn tips for designing the Fibra system project.
Cable length and typeFor Transmitter FibraThe maximum range of a wired connection using the Beam (Radial wiring) topology is 2,000 meters, and using the Ring topology — 500 meters.Recommended cable types:
- U/UTP cat.5, 4 × 2 × 0.51 with copper conductor.
- Signal cable 4 × 0.22 with copper conductor.
Please note, the wired connection range might vary if other cable types are used. As of now, no other cable types have been tested.
For wired devices of third-party manufacturersThe maximum cable length for connecting third-party devices to Transmitter Fibra is 3 meters.
- Recommended cable type — Signal cable 4 × 0.22 with copper conductor.
To connect a wired device to Transmitter Fibra, we recommend using the accessory 5-pin cable. It has the required connector and is designed to place the integration module inside the wired detector casing.
Verification using a calculatorTo ensure that the project is designed correctly and the system functions as intended in practice, we have developed a Fibra power supply calculator. It helps to check the communication quality and cable length for wired Fibra devices when designing the system project.
Preparing for installation
Cable arrangementBefore laying cables, check the electrical and fire safety regulations applicable in your region. Strictly follow these standards and regulations. Tips for cable arrangement are available in this article.
Cable routingBefore beginning the installation, we strongly advise reviewing the Device placement section thoroughly. Stick to the outlined system project without deviation. Violation of the basic Transmitter Fibra installation rules and the recommendations of this manual may lead to incorrect operation, as well as loss of connection with the device. Tips for cable routing are available in this article.
Preparing cables for connectionFirst, remove the insulation layer and strip the cable with a special insulation stripper. The ends of the wires inserted into the device terminals must be tinned or crimped with a sleeve. It ensures a reliable connection and protects the conductor from oxidation. Tips for preparing the cables are available in this article.
