Fire emergencies can develop quickly, sometimes without visible smoke. This is why modern fire detection systems must be capable of identifying threats early—even when they are not immediately obvious. FireProtect 2 (Heat) is a next-generation wireless fire detector designed to detect dangerous temperature changes and alert occupants before a fire becomes uncontrollable.
As part of the Ajax ecosystem, FireProtect 2 combines intelligent heat detection, reliable wireless communication, and user-friendly installation to provide a powerful fire safety solution for residential and commercial spaces.
Early Detection of Heat-Based Fire Threats
Unlike traditional detectors that rely solely on smoke detection, FireProtect 2 (Heat) is designed to detect fires that begin with heat or smoldering materials. The device is equipped with two A1R-class thermistors that quickly respond to rapid temperature increases.
This allows the detector to identify fire hazards even when smoke is not immediately present.
FireProtect 2 triggers an alarm when it detects:
A 10°C increase in temperature within one minute
Temperatures exceeding +64°C
This early detection capability helps provide valuable time for occupants to react and take appropriate action.
Built for Reliable Long-Term Protection
FireProtect 2 is available in two versions designed to meet different installation preferences:
FireProtect 2 SB (Heat)A version with sealed batteries that provides up to 10 years of operation.
FireProtect 2 RB (Heat)A version with replaceable batteries that provides up to 7 years of operation using CR123A batteries.
Both options deliver long-term reliability and minimal maintenance, making them ideal for residential environments.
Loud and Clear Fire Alerts
When a dangerous heat level is detected, FireProtect 2 activates a powerful 85 dB built-in siren, ensuring that occupants are immediately alerted to the threat.
The device uses distinct sound patterns and LED indications to signal different system events, including:
Heat alarms
System malfunctions
Low battery warnings
End-of-life notifications
These alerts make it easy to identify the type of event and respond accordingly.
Interconnected Fire Alarm System
FireProtect 2 detectors can operate individually or as part of a synchronized fire detection system.
When connected through an Ajax hub, an alarm from one detector activates the entire network within 20 seconds. Even without a hub, the detectors can communicate with each other directly, ensuring that alarms are triggered across the building within 60 seconds.
This interconnected alert system ensures that everyone in the building is notified as quickly as possible.
Reliable Wireless Communication
FireProtect 2 uses Ajax’s Jeweller wireless communication technology, providing secure and stable connectivity with an Ajax hub.
Key communication features include:
Up to 1,700 meters of communication range in open space
Encrypted two-way communication to prevent interference or spoofing
Frequency hopping to reduce signal interference
Automatic power adjustment for energy efficiency
This reliable wireless communication ensures that alarms, events, and system updates are transmitted instantly.
Smart Notifications and System Monitoring
When connected to an Ajax hub, FireProtect 2 sends informative push notifications directly to users through the Ajax app. These notifications clearly indicate:
Which detector was triggered
The location of the device
The time of the event
The system also maintains a detailed event log, recording up to 500 recent events. This information can help building managers, emergency responders, or insurance providers understand exactly what occurred during an incident.
Automation for Enhanced Safety
When integrated into the Ajax ecosystem, FireProtect 2 can trigger automation scenarios designed to improve safety and response time.
For example, in the event of a fire alarm, the system can automatically:
Cut off electrical power through automation relays
Activate emergency lighting
Unlock emergency exits to assist evacuation
Send photo verification through compatible detectors
These automated responses help reduce risks and support faster emergency actions.
Quick and Hassle-Free Installation
FireProtect 2 is designed for easy installation and maintenance. The device comes ready to operate straight out of the box, with batteries already installed.
Installation involves only a few simple steps:
Pair the detector with the Ajax system by scanning a QR code.
Mount the device using the SmartBracket mounting panel.
Configure and test the detector through the Ajax app,
The adjustable SmartBracket allows installers to align the detector perfectly after mounting, ensuring optimal performance.
Reliable Fire Safety with Ajax Technology
FireProtect 2 represents the next generation of fire detection technology. With advanced heat sensors, long battery life, and secure wireless communication, it provides dependable protection against fire threats—even those that begin without visible smoke.
When installed as part of a complete Ajax security system, FireProtect 2 delivers a powerful combination of fire detection, smart automation, and real-time monitoring.
