AJAX FireProtect 2 AC (Heat_CO) Jeweller User Manual

1. Introduction

The AJAX FireProtect 2 AC (Heat_CO) Jeweller is a dual-sensor detector designed to provide early warning against fire hazards and dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (CO). It utilizes advanced detection technologies and the reliable Jeweller wireless communication protocol for seamless integration into AJAX security systems.

Key features include:

• Dual detection: Heat and Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensors.
• AC powered with battery backup for continuous operation.
• Jeweller wireless technology for secure and long-range communication.
• Advanced signal processing for reduced false alarms.
• User-friendly interface with visual and audible alerts.
• Designed for easy installation and maintenance.

2. Safety Precautions

Before installation and operation, please read all safety instructions carefully.

• This device is intended for indoor use only.
• Ensure the detector is installed in a location where smoke and CO can reach the sensors promptly.
• Do not paint over or obstruct the detector's vents.
• Regular testing is crucial to ensure proper functionality.
• Refer to local regulations for specific fire safety requirements.

3. Product Description

The FireProtect 2 AC (Heat_CO) Jeweller combines two essential safety functions into one device.

3.1 Heat Sensor

The heat sensor operates based on the rate-of-rise and fixed temperature principles. It is designed to detect fires that do not produce significant smoke, such as those involving flammable liquids or in dusty environments. The detector will alarm if the temperature reaches 54°C (130°F) or rises rapidly.

3.2 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Sensor

The electrochemical CO sensor accurately measures the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air. CO is a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas produced by incomplete combustion. This sensor provides alerts for dangerous CO levels, protecting occupants from CO poisoning.

3.3 Jeweller Communication

The Jeweller wireless protocol ensures a stable and encrypted connection between the detector and the AJAX hub. It supports long-range communication and provides tamper detection.

3.4 Power Supply

The detector is powered by a mains AC connection. A backup battery ensures continued operation during power outages.

Textual Description of Diagram: The front of the detector is circular with a central LED indicator and a grille covering the sensors. The sides are smooth. The back features a mounting bracket and a connector for the AC power cable. A small panel on the side or back provides access to the battery compartment.

4. Installation

Proper installation is vital for the detector's performance.

4.1 Mounting Location

For optimal detection:

• Install on the ceiling or high on a wall.
• In rooms where a fire might start (e.g., living room, kitchen).
• Near sleeping areas for CO detection.
• Avoid locations near cooking appliances (unless specifically designed for kitchens and following manufacturer guidelines), bathrooms, or areas with high humidity or dust.
• Ensure it is within the Jeweller communication range of the AJAX hub.

4.2 Wiring the AC Power

Warning: Installation involving mains voltage should only be performed by qualified electricians.

The detector requires a connection to the building's AC power supply. The power cable connects to the designated port on the detector's mounting bracket.

[Diagram: Wiring diagram showing AC power connection to the detector.]

Textual Description of Diagram: The diagram shows a mains power cable (typically with live, neutral, and earth wires) connecting to terminals on the detector's mounting plate. The plate then interfaces with the detector unit itself. It emphasizes correct polarity and secure connections.

4.3 Adding to the System

Follow the instructions in the AJAX hub's manual to add the FireProtect 2 AC (Heat_CO) Jeweller to your system. This typically involves scanning a unique identifier on the device or entering its serial number.

5. Operation and Testing

5.1 Testing the Detector

Regularly test the detector to ensure it is functioning correctly. Press and hold the test button on the device until the alarm sounds.

[Icon: Test button symbol]

Textual Description of Icon: A circular button, often labeled "Test" or with a bell icon.

5.2 Understanding Alerts

The detector provides visual and audible alerts:

• Alarm: Loud siren and flashing LED.
• Low Battery: Chirping sound and LED indication.
• Fault: Specific LED pattern indicating a malfunction.

Refer to the AJAX app for detailed status and notifications.

5.3 Silencing Alarms

In case of a false alarm or after the hazard has been cleared, the alarm can be silenced by pressing the test button on the detector or via the AJAX app.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Replacement

The backup battery should be replaced periodically as indicated by the system or when the low battery warning sounds. Follow the instructions to open the battery compartment and replace the battery with the specified type.

6.2 Cleaning

Keep the detector clean by gently vacuuming the vents with a soft brush attachment or wiping it with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning sprays or solvents.

7. Troubleshooting

If the detector is not functioning correctly, consult the AJAX support website or app for troubleshooting guides. Common issues include:

• No power: Check AC connection and circuit breaker.
• Communication errors: Ensure the detector is within range of the hub and the hub is powered and connected.
• False alarms: Ensure proper placement away from heat sources, steam, or dust.
