Button is a wireless panic button that, when pressed, sends an alarm to both users and the security company's monitoring center (CMS). In control mode, Button allows you to control Ajax automation devices with a short or long press of the button.

In panic mode, the button can be used as an emergency call button, informing appropriate authorities about threats, the need for medical attention, or about break-ins, fires, gas alarms or leaks. You can select the type of alarm in the button settings. The text of the alarm notifications depends on the selected alarm type and the event codes that are transmitted to the security service monitoring center.

You can connect the action of an automation device ( Relay , WallSwitch or Socket ) to a button press via the Scenarios menu within the Button Settings .

The button is equipped with protection against accidental activation and can transmit alarms up to a distance of 1300 m from the hub. Please note that possible obstacles, such as walls or ceilings, can reduce the transmission range.

The button is comfortable to carry. You can hang it around your neck or wear it on your wrist. The housing of the device is protected against dust and splashes.

When connecting Button via a signal-boosting wireless repeater , please note that Button does not automatically switch between the wireless networks of the wireless repeater and the hub. You can manually assign Button to a different hub or wireless repeater in the app.

Connect button to Ajax security system

Before establishing the connection

1. Follow the Hub instructions to install the Ajax app . Create an account, add a Hub to the app, and create at least one room.
2. Open the Ajax app.
3. Enable the hub and check your internet connection.
4. Make sure the hub is disarmed and not updating by checking its status in the app.

Only users with administrator rights can add a device to the hub

How to connect Button

1. In the Ajax app, click Add device .
2. Name the device, scan the QR code (on the box) or enter it manually, select a room and a group (if group mode is enabled).
3. Click Add and the countdown begins.
4. Press and hold Button for 7 seconds. When Button is added, the LEDs will flash green once.

For detection and coupling, the button must be within radio range of the hub (on the respective protected object).

The connected button will be displayed in the list of hub devices in the application. Updating the device status in the list does not depend on the polling time in the hub settings. The data is updated only by pressing the button.

Button only works with one hub. When logging into a new hub, Button stops sending commands to the old hub. Note that after adding Button to the new hub, it is not automatically removed from the old hub's device list. This must be done manually via the Ajax app.

Usage mode

Panic mode

In panic button mode, the Button can alert security personnel or request other assistance. In addition, the device is able to report emergencies by activating sirens and sending a notification to other users via the app. In the Button's settings, you can select one of eight alarm types:

• Burglary
• Fire
• Medical care
• Panic button
• Gas alarm
• Malfunction
• leakage
• Custom (no notification is sent to the security service control center)

The type of alarm determines which event code is sent to the security service's control center (CMS) and which notification text is sent to the user, thus ensuring an appropriate response to the threat.

Please note that in panic mode , regardless of the system security mode, an alarm will be triggered when the button is pressed.

An alarm triggered by pressing the button can also trigger a scenario in the Ajax security system.

Button can be installed on a flat surface or carried with you. When installing Button on a flat surface (e.g. under the table), secure it with double-sided tape. How to carry Button by band: Attach the band to the main body of Button using the mounting hole.

Control mode

The button can be used to control automation devices. In control mode , the button has two options for pressing: short and long (the button is pressed for more than 3 seconds). This press can trigger the execution of an action by one or more automation devices: Relay, WallSwitch or Socket.

To connect an action of an automation device to a long or short press of the button:

1. Open the Ajax app and navigate to the Devices tab .
2. Select Button from the list of devices and go to settings by clicking on the gear icon click.
3. Under Operating Mode, select Control . Press the button to save the changes.
4. Go to the Scenarios menu. Click Create Scenario if you are creating a scenario for the first time, or click Add Scenario if scenarios have already been created in the security system.
5. Select the press option to execute the scenario: Short press or Long press .
6. Select the automation device that should perform the action.
7. Enter the scenario title and specify the device action to perform when the button is pressed.
   • Turn on
   • Turn off
   • Changes the status
   When configuring a scenario for automation devices in pulse mode, the Device Action setting is not available. During the scenario execution, these devices close/open the contacts for a set duration. The operating mode and pulse duration are set in the automation device settings.
8. Click Next . The scenario appears in the list of device scenarios.

Mute paired smoke detector alarm

You can silence paired smoke detector alarms by pressing the button (if the corresponding operating mode is selected). The response to pressing the button depends on the selected system settings:

• The "Linked smoke detector alarm" function is activated and the alarm has already spread . When the button is pressed for the first time, the alarm of all fire detectors, except for the fire detector that has been triggered, is muted. When pressed for the second time, the fire detectors that have been triggered are also muted.
• The spread of the alarm is delayed by the "Coupled smoke detector alarm" function . When the button is pressed, the alarm of the triggered detector (FireProtect/FireProtect Plus) is muted.

How to support the button

Thanks to the specially designed openings on the case, the button is easy to carry. The button can be attached to the wrist, neck or a key chain using a strap.

The button has an IP55 protection rating. This means that the housing is protected against dust and water jets (nozzles) from any angle. In addition, the resistant buttons and software prevent accidental pressing.

maintenance

If necessary, clean the Button casing of dust, cobwebs and other contaminants. Use a soft, dry cloth suitable for cleaning equipment. Never use agents containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline or other active solvents to clean Button.

The pre-installed battery provides up to 5 years of normal button use (one press per day). More frequent use may shorten the battery life. You can check the battery level at any time in the "Button states" section in the Ajax app.

The pre-installed battery is sensitive to low temperatures. If the remote control has cooled down significantly, the battery level indicator in the app may show incorrect values until the remote control warms up.

The battery level is updated each time the button is pressed.

When the battery is low, the user will receive a notification in the Ajax app and the LED will turn red and off each time the button is pressed.
