Ajax Superior MotionProtect Jeweller | Wireless PIR Motion Detector | 12m Range, Pet Immune, Grade 2 | Choice of White or Black

FAQs

What is the detection range of the Superior MotionProtect Jeweller?

The detector has a detection range of up to 12 metres under standard conditions. For INCERT compliance installations using high sensitivity settings, the detection range is 10 metres. The detector features an 88.5° horizontal viewing angle and should be installed at a height of 2.4 metres for optimal performance.

Does the detector work with pets in the home?

Yes, when properly installed and configured, the Superior MotionProtect Jeweller does not react to pets weighing up to 20kg and below 50cm in height. The detector offers three sensitivity levels: Low (ignores animals up to 50cm), Normal (ignores small dogs up to 35cm), and High (ignores cats up to 25cm). Correct installation at 2.4 metres height and appropriate sensitivity configuration following Ajax guidelines is essential for effective pet immunity.

How long does the battery last?

The Superior MotionProtect Jeweller operates for up to 5 years on the pre-installed CR123A battery. The system provides early warning notifications through Ajax apps when battery replacement is needed. After receiving the low battery notification, the detector can continue operating for up to 2 months, providing ample time to schedule battery replacement without system downtime.

What is the difference between this detector and the Superior MotionCam?

The Superior MotionProtect Jeweller is a motion-only detector without photo verification capabilities, making it ideal for installations where visual confirmation is not required. It offers longer battery life (up to 5 years vs 3-4 years) and is a more cost-effective solution for standard intrusion detection. The Superior MotionCam (PhOD) Jeweller includes an integrated camera for photo verification of alarms, using dual protocols (Jeweller and Wings) to transmit images alongside alarm events.

Can the detector be used outdoors?

No, the Superior MotionProtect Jeweller is designed exclusively for indoor use. Installing the detector outdoors can lead to false alarms, device malfunction, and failure due to exposure to environmental conditions outside the acceptable temperature (-10°C to +40°C) and humidity (up to 75%) ranges. For outdoor motion detection, Ajax offers dedicated outdoor detector models designed for external environments.

What hubs are compatible with this detector?

The Superior MotionProtect Jeweller requires an Ajax hub running OS Malevich firmware version 2.16 or higher. It is compatible with Ajax hubs from the Superior, Fibra, and Baseline product lines. The detector is not compatible with Hub, third-party control panels, or ocBridge Plus and uartBridge integration modules. Only accredited Ajax Systems partners can install and configure Superior product line devices.

How do I know if the signal strength is adequate?

Signal strength is displayed in the Ajax app using a bar indicator system. Three bars indicate excellent signal strength, two bars show good signal strength, and one bar represents low signal strength where stable operation is not guaranteed. The recommended signal strength is two to three bars. You should test Jeweller signal strength before final installation, as repositioning the detector even by 20cm can significantly improve signal quality.

What are the different alarm reaction modes?

The detector offers three alarm reaction modes: Instant Alarm (the armed detector immediately raises the alarm when triggered), Entry/Exit (allows configurable delays of 5-120 seconds for entering or leaving the premises), and Follower (inherits delays from Entry/Exit detectors but raises immediate alarm when triggered individually). These modes provide flexibility for different zones within a security system, such as perimeter vs interior detection.

Can I disable the detector temporarily?

Yes, the Superior MotionProtect Jeweller offers both permanent and one-time deactivation options. Permanent deactivation allows you to disable the device entirely or just the tamper notifications without removing it from the system. One-time deactivation disables the detector until the first disarm event, useful for temporary situations. Both options can be configured remotely through the Ajax apps without requiring physical access to the detector.

What is temperature compensation and why is it important?

Temperature compensation is a feature that allows the detector to maintain accurate motion detection even when room temperature approaches human body temperature. PIR sensors detect heat differences, so in very warm environments, the contrast between a person and the background decreases. Temperature compensation automatically adjusts the detector’s sensitivity based on ambient temperature, ensuring reliable detection in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +40°C (14°F to 104°F).
