Third-party devices

Less hassle with automated security

With MultiTransmitter Fibra, even older third-party alarm equipment becomes part of a smart and automated security system. Alarms and events received from integrated devices can trigger automation scenarios. This enables the security system to respond to threats instantly, without waiting for a response team or police. For instance, an Ajax system can lock the front door if someone attempts to break it, turn on lights upon the motion detector alarm, or switch off potential ignition sources at the first sign of fire. Devices assigned with a custom event type do not trigger alarms but send event notifications and can activate non-alarm automation scenarios.

Fibra

Unique wired technology

An Ajax system uses secure two-way communication based on Fibra proprietary protocol. It features encryption and device authentication to prevent sabotage, spoofing, and data theft. Fibra lines are versatile and support connecting different types of devices to one line: sirens, keypads, and detectors with photo verification.

Energy efficiency as a priority

MultiTransmitter Fibra is powered by 100–240 V~ mains and can also use a 12 V⎓ backup battery. The module provides 10.5–15 V⎓ power to connected devices via four power supply outputs: one for a fire detector and three for other devices.

The integration module and its connected devices draw zero energy from the Fibra line and maintain low power consumption from their power supply sources. MultiTransmitter Fibra uses Fibra communication based on the TDMA principle. The device exchanges data with the hub in short intervals. During the rest of the time, its communication module remains inactive. This significantly reduces power consumption and minimizes interference, even when multiple devices communicate simultaneously.

The principle of operation of the module for integrating third-party wired devices for signaling MultiTransmitter Fibra

MultiTransmitter Fibra is designed to integrate third-party wired sensors and security devices into the Ajax security system. Data from devices connected to the system (faults, alarms and events) is received by the integration module via a wired connection. After the message has been delivered, the integration module transmits it to the Hub Hybrid control panel using the Fibra wired data transfer protocol. The control panel, in turn, informs users of the security system and the security company about the incident. Use the module for integrating third-party wired devices to the Ajax security system to connect indoor and outdoor motion sensors, panic and medical buttons, as well as vibration, opening, glass breaking, fire detection sensors, etc. The MultiTransmitter Fibra 3rd Party Alarm Integration Module has 18 wired zones. Multiple devices can be connected to one zone. The number of connected devices depends on the power consumption of each of them. The maximum consumption of all connected sensors or other devices to all zones is 1 A.

Fibra data transfer protocol

The MultiTransmitter Fibra integration module uses Fibra technology to communicate with the security control panel. This is a wired data transfer protocol that provides fast and reliable two-way communication between the control panel and connected devices. Using the bus connection method, the Fibra protocol delivers event and alarm messages instantly, even if 100 devices are connected to the security system. The Fibra protocol secures devices with floating-key block encryption and verifies all communications to prevent device tampering and tampering. The protocol provides for constant polling of sensors and other devices of the security system by the control panel at a specified frequency. This way, you can control the level of communication and see the status of the system devices in the Ajax application in real time.

Installing the MultiTransmitter Fibra Integration Module

The Fibra MultiTransmitter is a device in the Fibra line of wired devices. Only accredited Ajax partners can install, sell and maintain these devices. In order for the security system and the integration module to work correctly, it is important to plan the placement of security devices, take into account all the vulnerabilities of the building and installation recommendations from equipment manufacturers. Experienced installation engineers of the security company will help with this. Violation of the installation rules and recommendations for installing an alarm system can lead to incorrect operation of the integration module, false alarms of connected wired devices and sensors, as well as loss of communication with the installed MultiTransmitter Fibra. The maximum number of devices that can be connected to the Hub Hybrid is 100 units at default settings, considering wired sensors or devices connected to the MultiTransmitter Fibra.

Where to Install the MultiTransmitter Fibra Wired Device Integration Module
