Ajax Curtain Outdoor Jeweller wireless curtain motion detector, PIR plus microwave

Overview

The Ajax Curtain Outdoor Jeweller is a wireless curtain motion detector for outside or inside a building. It watches a narrow strip along a wall, across a window or in front of a door and raises the Ajax alarm when someone crosses it, using two infrared sensors and a microwave sensor to avoid false alarms from weather and warm air. It suits terraces, balconies, shopfronts and the outside of doors and windows on an Ajax Hub 2 family system.

Is it right for you?

• It suits guarding a window, door or wall line from the outside, so the alarm goes off before anyone gets in.
• Choose it where sun, wind or warm air would upset a single-technology detector: the microwave sensor confirms the infrared detection.
• It is rated IP55 for -25 to 60 °C; fit the supplied hood to keep rain and snow off the anti-masking system.
• It works with Hub 2, Hub 2 (4G), Hub 2 Plus and the ReX 2 range extender.
• To watch both directions along a wall from one spot, the DualCurtain Outdoor covers two sides.

Key features

• Dual technology: two passive infrared (PIR) sensors plus a 24 GHz K-band microwave sensor, with SmartDetect software, so thermal interference is filtered out.
• Narrow 8° horizontal beam; the vertical angle depends on mounting height. Detection range is adjusted with a slider on the enclosure and starts from 8 m, for mounting heights of 1 to 2.4 m.
• Detects movement at 0.3 to 2 m/s with three sensitivity levels set in the Ajax app.
• Pet mode: mounted at 1 m with the slider set to Pet, it ignores animals below 100 cm tall.
• Anti-masking detects attempts to block the view, an accelerometer alarms if the detector is moved, and a tamper alarm reports removal from the SmartBracket; a holding screw secures it.
• Two CR123A batteries, pre-installed, with a calculated life of up to 3 years.
• Jeweller radio up to 1,700 m in open space, Wings radio for data packet resending, and communication loss detection within 36 s.
• Supplied hood and angle mount; 155 × 77 × 85 mm with the hood, 141 × 60 × 72 mm without.

What else you need

An Ajax Hub 2, Hub 2 (4G) or Hub 2 Plus (or a ReX 2 range extender) and the Ajax app. The hood and angle mount are in the box.

Installation

Mount it at 2.4 m, or at 1 m with the slider set to Pet when pet immunity is wanted, with the beam across the path of approach. Fit the hood outdoors to protect the anti-masking system from rain and snow, and use the holding screw. If a third-party bracket is used, enable the accelerometer. An Ajax installer can survey the wall, set the range slider and add the detector to the hub.

Software and licences

Sensitivity, anti-masking and accelerometer settings are managed in the Ajax app by an administrator or an Ajax PRO.

Before you buy

• Needs a Hub 2 family hub.
• Pet immunity depends on mounting at 1 m with the slider in the Pet position.
• Available in white.
