Integration modules for connecting third-party devices to Ajax system
Effortless connection to Ajax
Ajax integration modules connect third-party detectors and devices to an Ajax system, expanding its capabilities. They can integrate detectors, keypads, and devices with NC/NO or EOL contacts. Modules are ideal for modernizing existing equipment without replacing all hardware and wiring.
Explore the unique features of Ajax integration modules
Versatile capabilities
Ajax offers integration flexibility. Depending on the module, NC, NO, EOL, 2EOL, and 3EOL devices can be connected, as well as devices operating in pulse and bistable modes. The total resistance of the resistor(s) connected to the integration module is measured automatically, which speeds up installation and setup. There is no need to disassemble devices and manually measure resistance with a multimeter1. The module powers third-party devices, eliminating the need for separate cabling.
Customizable and informative notifications
Ajax integration modules receive information about alarms, events, and malfunctions from connected devices and transmit it to the hub. The hub then notifies users and the CMS. The types of alarms and notifications can be configured, including operating malfunctions, detector alerts, temperature limit exceedances, and custom events. Specific notifications can trigger events without raising alarms, boosting automation capabilities.
Ajax features unlocking
The integrated third-party devices benefit from advanced Ajax capabilities. For opening detectors, the Chimes function offers audible alerts. Automation is enabled through scenarios, allowing integrated devices to activate customized actions and responses. Real-time monitoring via Ajax apps provides visibility of critical events and device states. The Ajax integration modules help users to force the potential of their existing infrastructure while enjoying all the features of the Ajax ecosystem.

Ajax product categories
In an Ajax system, you can combine devices of all product categories: Intrusion protection (both Superior and Baseline), Video surveillance, Fire and life safety, or Comfort and automation. Create the system to suit your needs and manage it in a single interface.
Integration modules: connecting third-party devices to a security system
Integration modules are essential tools for expanding a security system's capabilities by enabling seamless connections with third-party devices. These modules serve two primary purposes: connecting devices from other manufacturers to the system and integrating the system into an existing setup. Depending on the installation requirements, they are available in wired and wireless formats.
Connecting third-party devices to a security system
When a security setup involves devices from multiple manufacturers, integration modules simplify the process by providing a bridge between the existing system and third-party devices. These modules support various connections, including NC, NO, EOL, and 2EOL, allowing integration with various devices, such as detectors, sensors, and keypads.
Wireless integration
Wireless integration modules are ideal for situations where installing wires is not practical or possible. These modules allow third-party devices to communicate wirelessly with the security system, making installation faster and more flexible.
- Multi-device wireless module: Supports integrating multiple third-party devices, making it a versatile choice for larger installations.
- Single-device wireless module: Connects a single third-party device to the system wirelessly for simpler setups.
Wired integration
Wired modules are suitable for environments where existing wiring can be used, offering a reliable and stable connection between devices.
- Multi-device wired module: Integrates multiple third-party devices, providing a robust solution for larger or more complex systems.
- Single-device wired module: For straightforward applications, supports the integration of one third-party device into the system via a wired connection.
Specialized modules
Certain modules are designed to meet specific integration needs, such as connecting to specialized transmitters or hybrid systems.
- VHF bridge module: Connects the system to third-party VHF transmitters, expanding compatibility with older or non-wireless devices.
- Receiver module: Allows the integration of detectors into wired and hybrid security systems, providing flexibility in system configurations.
- Wireless receiver module: Connects detectors to wireless security systems and smart home solutions, offering seamless integration with various platforms.
Integration scenarios: expanding system capabilities
Scenario 1: Connecting a device from another manufacturer
Integration modules are handy for connecting devices from other manufacturers to an existing security system. This allows users to update their infrastructure without replacing all hardware or wiring. By integrating third-party devices, the system can benefit from advanced features offered, such as enhanced automation and remote control.
Scenario 2: Integrating the security system into an existing setup
Another critical use for integration modules is the ability to incorporate the security system into an already established infrastructure. Whether the existing system is wired, wireless, or a combination of both, integration modules make adding new devices and functionality easy, allowing the security system to expand without starting from scratch.
Critical features of integration modules
Versatile capabilities
Integration modules support various connection types, enabling the connection of NC, NO, EOL, 2EOL, and 3EOL devices. They can also accommodate devices operating in pulse or bistable modes. The modules automatically measure the resistance of connected resistors, simplifying the installation process by eliminating the need for manual resistance measurement.
Additionally, integration modules can power connected third-party devices, reducing the need for separate wiring or power sources.
Customizable and informative notifications
When integrated third-party devices trigger events, alarms, or malfunctions, the system notifies users and monitoring centers. These notifications can be customized to include specific events, such as device malfunctions, temperature threshold violations, or custom alerts. Users are kept informed in real-time about the status of their security system, enhancing responsiveness and control.
Unlocking advanced features
Once third-party devices are integrated, they can benefit from the advanced capabilities of the security system. For example, opening detectors can activate audible alerts through the system, and automation scenarios can be set to trigger specific actions, such as turning on lights or activating alarms in response to certain conditions. Real-time monitoring provides visibility into the status of all connected devices, helping users stay informed about critical events.
Conclusion
Integration modules are an effective and flexible solution for connecting third-party devices to a security system or integrating the system into an existing setup. These modules, whether wired or wireless, enhance the system's functionality by enabling the addition of a wide range of devices without the need for complete replacements. With customizable notifications, versatile capabilities, and the ability to unlock advanced features, integration modules make it possible to modernize and expand any security system.
