Overview

The Ajax Button is a wireless panic button designed to offer protection against accidental presses and to control automation devices. It integrates seamlessly with the Ajax security system and is configured via Ajax apps available on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. Users receive alerts for alarms and events through push notifications, SMS, and phone calls, if enabled.

Function Description

The Button serves two primary functions:

  • Panic Mode: When pressed, it transmits an alarm to users and the security company's Central Monitoring Station (CMS). In this mode, the Button can signal various threats, including intrusion, fire, gas, medical emergencies, or a general panic situation. The type of alarm can be customized in the button settings, which also dictates the text of alarm notifications and the event codes sent to the CMS. It's important to note that in panic mode, pressing the Button will trigger an alarm regardless of the security system's armed status. An alarm triggered by the Button can also initiate a scenario within the Ajax security system.
  • Control Mode: This mode allows the Button to control Ajax automation devices such as Relay, WallSwitch, or Socket. It offers two pressing options: a short press and a long press (holding the button for more than 3 seconds). These presses can be configured to trigger specific actions from one or more automation devices.

Usage Features

Connecting to the Ajax Security System:

To connect the Button, users must first install the Ajax application, create an account, add a hub, and create at least one room. Before initiating the connection, ensure the hub is active, has an internet connection, is not in armed mode, and is not being updated. Only users with administrative rights can add a device to the hub. The connection process involves clicking "Add Device" in the Ajax app, naming the device, scanning its QR code (or entering it manually), and selecting a room and group. Finally, hold the button for 7 seconds until the LEDs flash green once, indicating successful pairing. The Button must be within the hub's radio communication zone for detection and pairing. The Button operates with only one hub at a time; connecting it to a new hub will stop it from transmitting commands to the old one. Manual removal from the old hub's device list is required.

Operating Principle:

The Button transmits alarms to users and the security company's CMS when pressed. In Control mode, it allows for the control of Ajax automation devices with a short or long press. Scenarios can be created in the Button settings to bind the action of an automation device (Relay, WallSwitch, or Socket) to a button press.

Mute Fire Alarm:

If the "Mute Fire Alarm" operating mode is selected, pressing the Button can mute fire signals. The system's reaction depends on its settings and current state:

  • If Interconnected FireProtect Alarms are disabled, pressing the Button mutes the sirens of triggered FireProtect/FireProtect Plus detectors.
  • If Interconnected FireProtect Alarms have already propagated, the first press mutes all fire detector sirens except those that registered the alarm. Pressing it again mutes the remaining detectors.
  • If the interconnected alarms delay time lasts, the siren of the triggered FireProtect/FireProtect Plus detector is muted by pressing the Button.

Protection Against Accidental Activation:

The Button offers protection against accidental presses, configurable in the settings. Options include:

  • Off: Protection disabled.
  • Long press: Requires holding the button down for more than 1.5 seconds to send an alarm.
  • Double-pressing: Requires two presses within 0.5 seconds to send an alarm.

LED Indication:

The Button's status is indicated by red or green LED lights.

  • Linking to security system: Green LEDs flash 6 times (not registered) or light up green for a few seconds (adding to system).
  • Command delivery indication: Lights up green briefly (command delivered) or red briefly (command not delivered).
  • Long press indication in Control mode: Blinks green briefly, indicating a long press was recognized and the command sent.
  • Feedback Indication: Lights up green for about half a second after command delivery (command received and performed) or briefly lights up red (command not performed).
  • Battery status: After the main indication, it lights up red and goes out smoothly, indicating the battery needs replacement, though commands are still delivered.

Placement and Carrying:

The Button is designed for versatility. It can be installed on a flat surface (e.g., under a table) using double-sided adhesive tape or carried around. For carrying, a strap can be attached using the mounting hole. To fix the Button on a surface, a Holder (sold separately) can be used, secured with bundled screws or double-sided adhesive tape. The Button has an IP55 protection rating, meaning it's protected from dust and splashes. Its recessed buttons and software protection further help prevent accidental presses.

Range Extender Compatibility:

When connecting the Button via a ReX radio signal range extender, it's important to note that the Button does not automatically switch between the radio networks of the range extender and the hub. Users can manually assign the Button to another hub or ReX in the Ajax app. The Button can transmit alarms up to 1,300 m from the hub, but obstructions like walls or floors will reduce this distance.

Temporary Deactivation:

The Button can be temporarily deactivated without deleting it from the system. In this state, the device will not execute system commands, participate in automation scenarios, and its panic button function will be disabled.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning:

When cleaning the Button's body, use cleaners suitable for technical maintenance. Avoid substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline, or other active solvents, as these can damage the device.

Battery Life and Replacement:

The pre-installed CR2032 battery provides up to 5 years of operation with normal use (one press per day). More frequent use will reduce battery life. The battery level can be checked at any time in the Ajax app. The battery level value updates only after the button is pressed, not on a regular basis. The pre-installed battery is sensitive to low temperatures; if the key fob cools significantly, the battery level indicator in the app may show incorrect values until it warms up. When the battery runs down, users will receive a notification in the Ajax app, and the LED will steadily light up red and go out with each button press.
