Operating principle
Button is a wireless panic button that, when pressed, transmits an alarm to users, as well as to the security company's CMS. In Control mode, Button allows you to control Ajax automation devices with a short or long press of a button.
In panic mode, the Button can act as a panic button and signal about a threat, or inform about an intrusion, as well as a re, gas or medical alarm. You can choose the type of alarm in the button settings. The text of alarm noti cations depends on the selected type, as well as the event codes transmitted to the central monitoring station of the security company (CMS).
You can bind the action of an automation device (Relay, WallSwitch or Socket) to a button press in the Button settings -- Scenarios menu.
The Button is equipped with protection against accidental press and transmits alarms at a distance of up to 1,300 m from the hub. Please be aware that the presence of any obstructions that impede the signal (for example, walls or
oors) will reduce this distance.
Button is easy to carry around. You can always keep it on a wrist or a neckless. The device is resistant to dust and splashes.
When connecting Button via ReX, note that Button does not automatically switch between the radio networks of the radio signal extender and the hub. You can assign Button to another hub or ReX manually in the app.
Connecting the button to the Ajax security system
Prior to initiating connection
1. Follow the hub instructions to install the Ajax application. Create an account, add a hub to the app, and create at least one room.
2. Enter the Ajax app. 3. Activate the hub and check your internet connection. 4. Ensure that the hub is not in armed mode and is not being updated by
checking its status in the app.
Only users with administrative rights can add a device to the hub
In order to connect a Button
1. Click on Add Device in the Ajax app. 2. Name the device, scan its QR code (located on the package) or enter it
manually, select a room and a group (if group mode is enabled). 3. Click Add and the countdown will begin. 4. Hold the button for 7 seconds. When the Button is added, the LEDs will ash
green once. For detection and pairing, the Button must be located within the hub radio communication zone (on the single protected object).
The connected button will appear in the list of hub devices in the application. Updating the statuses of the device in the list does not depend on the polling time value in the hub settings. Data is updated only by pressing the Button.
The Button only works with one hub. When connected to a new hub, the button Button stops transmitting commands to the old hub. Note that after being added to the new hub, the Button is not automatically removed from the device list of the old hub. This must be done manually through the Ajax application.

Use cases Panic Mode
As a panic button, the Button is used to call for security company or help, as well as for emergency noti cation through the app or sirens. Button support 5 types of alarms: intrusion, re, medical, gas leak, and panic button. You can choose the type of alarm in the device settings. The text of alarm noti cations depends on the selected type, as well as the event codes transmitted to the central monitoring station of the security company (CMS).
Consider, that in this mode, pressing the Button will raise an alarm regardless of security mode of the system.
An alarm if Button is pressed can also run a scenario in the Ajax security system.
Button can be installed on a at surface or carried around. To install on a at surface (for example, under the table), secure the Button with double-sided adhesive tape. To carry the Button on the strap: attach the strap to the Button using the mounting hole in the main body of the Button.
Control Mode
In the Control mode, the Button has two pressing options: short and long (the button is pressed for more than 3 seconds). These pressings can trigger the execution of an action by one or more automation devices: Relay, WallSwitch, or Socket.
To bind an automation device action to a long or short press of a Button:
1. Open the Ajax app and go to the Devices tab. 2. Select Button in the list of devices and go to settings by clicking the gear
icon .
3. Select the Control mode in the Button mode section.
4. Click the Button to save the changes. 5. Go to the Scenarios menu and click Create scenario if you are creating a
scenario for the rst time, or Add scenario if scenarios have already been created in the security system. 6. Select a pressing option to run the scenario: Short press or Long press.
7. Select the automation device to execute the action.
8. Enter the Scenario Name and specify the Device Action to be executed by pressing the Button.
When con guring a scenario for Relay, which is in pulse mode, the Device Action setting is not available. During the scenario execution, this relay will close/open the contacts for a set time. The operating mode and pulse duration are set in the Relay settings.
9. Click Save. The scenario will appear in the list of device scenarios.
Maintenance
When cleaning the key fob body, use cleaners that are suitable for technical maintenance.
Never use substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline and other active solvents to clean the Button.
The pre-installed battery provides up to 5 years of key fob operation in normal use (one press per day). More frequent use may reduce battery life. You can check battery level at any time in the Ajax app.
The pre-installed battery is sensitive to low temperatures and if the key fob is cooled signi cantly, the battery level indicator in the app may show incorrect values until the key fob becomes warmer.
The battery level value is not updated on a regular basis, but only updates after pressing the button. When the battery has run down, the user will receive a noti cation in the Ajax app, and the LED will steadily light up red and go out each time the button is pressed.
