Operating Principle
The EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller is a wireless fire detector designed for indoor installation. It is always active and responds to fire 24/7, irrespective of the system's security mode.
Powered by pre-installed batteries, it does not require an external power supply. The detector monitors its operational state and reports any faults. It is equipped with a tamper button that activates if the device is removed from its mounting panel.
Heat Sensor
Two built-in thermistors detect rapid temperature rises or when the temperature exceeds a threshold. They trigger an alarm based on the rate of temperature increase or static temperature detection. The specific threshold, rise rate, and response time are configurable via detector settings and comply with EN 54-5 standards.
Available heat sensor modes:
- A1, A1R, A1S
- B, BR, BS
- C, CR, CS
- Fixed temperature (configurable from +45°C to +85°C, default +60°C).
Jeweller Data Transfer Protocols
Jeweller is a wireless data transfer protocol providing fast and reliable two-way communication between the CIE and devices. It is used to transmit commands, alarms, and events. Learn more
Sending Events to the Monitoring Station
An Ajax system can transmit alarms to the Ajax PRO Desktop app and monitoring stations using formats like SurGard (Contact ID), SIA (DC-09), ADEMCO 685, and other protocols.
A system with EN54 FireProtect (Heat) Jeweller can transmit the following events:
- Fire alarm / recovery after the alarm.
- Heat sensor hardware fault/recovery.
- Battery charge status (low/OK).
- Tamper alarm/recovery.
- Loss/recovery of communication between the detector and the CIE.
When an alarm is received, the monitoring station operator knows precisely what happened and where. Device addressability allows sending detailed event information, including device type, name, fire zone, virtual room, and location description. Transmitted parameters may vary based on the monitoring software and communication protocol.
Selecting the Installation Site
⚠️ The detector is designed for indoor installation only.
Follow local fire safety regulations when selecting the installation site.
Consider the following parameters when choosing a location:
- Jeweller signal strength.
- Distance between the device and the CIE.
- Presence of obstacles to radio signal transmission.
Consider placement recommendations when developing a system project. Only specialists should design and install Ajax systems. A list of recommended partners is available here.
Signal Strength
Signal strength is determined by the rate of undelivered or corrupted data packets. The Ajax app's Devices tab displays signal strength using icons:
- Three bars: Excellent signal strength.
- Two bars: Good signal strength.
- One bar: Low signal strength; stable operation is not guaranteed.
- ? [No Signal]: No signal.
Note: If signal strength is excellent, the device can automatically adjust transmission power to reduce consumption and interference.
⚠️ Run the Jeweller signal strength test before final installation. The test verifies signal strength at maximum transmission power. For EN 54 compliance, three bars are required between the device and the CIE.
If the test shows one or zero bars, stable operation is not guaranteed. Relocating the detector, even by 20 cm or rotating it, can improve signal strength. If the signal remains poor, consider an Ajax radio signal range extender (coming soon).
Refer to the functionality testing section for details on running the Jeweller signal strength test.
Where Not to Install the Device
- Outdoors (can lead to detector failure).
- Indoors where temperature and humidity are outside permissible limits (may damage the detector).
- In places with fast air circulation (e.g., near fans, vents, open windows) as this may interfere with fire detection.
- Opposite objects with rapidly changing temperatures (e.g., electric/gas heaters) as this may cause false alarms.
- In room corners (may interfere with fire detection).
- In bathrooms, showers, or areas with rapid temperature changes (may cause false alarms).
- Near lighting fixtures, decorations, or other interior items that may interfere with air circulation (may interfere with fire detection).
- On surfaces that are usually warmer or colder than the rest of the premises (e.g., skylights), as temperature fluctuations may interfere with fire detection.
- In places with low or unstable Jeweller signal strength (may result in losing connection to the CIE).
- Closer than 1 meter to the CIE or radio signal range extender.
