AJAX Alarm System Review: Ajax LeaksProtect Sensor [7/15]

You’ve probably seen this little guy, haven’t you? Ajax guys are not throwing out the formula of stating the sensor’s intent in its name, and that’s good. Ajax LeaksProtect is obviously, judging by the name, will protect you against unexpected water leaks in leaky places.

And its brother, Ajax FireProtect, of course, will protect you from gas and smoke leaks, but we’ll tell you about it soon. Today is the day of Ajax LeaksProtect, and we’ll tell you what it is. Also, we got a video, where we are testing Ajax LeaksProtect practically splashing some H2O on it.

Simple & Effecient

We are not going to stretch this whole thing out; the device is quite simple. You attach it to the floor in water-leak potential spots, like under a washing machine, dishwasher, bathtub, heating radiators, and similar things – well, in one word, where you interact with water, and you need absolutely no one’s help to install this LeaksProtect device.

And this is the thing that Ajax Systems makes an emphasis on, the easy installation (even too easy). Once a leak happens and a metal contacts the sensor’s downside touched it you’ll know that first in a form of a notification on your phone within 0.15 milliseconds. That’s a number to transmit a threat signal that Ajax confirms to have in all of their devices.

You can place this LeakProtect device as far as 1,300 meters away from a central hub – this is the number for a built-in Ajax Jeweller radiotechnology signal transmission distance. The built-in battery's lifelong parameter here makes up a 5 years, making us forget about any leaks in the future 5 years

Connection + Water Test

The sensor is IP65-rated, meaning a dust and moisture protection, which is not surprising for the type of device. The activation scheme is as as imple as always – you download the free Ajax App, sign up, connect your Ajax Hub to a power source and the internet via the cables that you can find within the box, activate it in app, create a room, and then just add this device to your system from the main screen by pressing the “Add Device” button and scanning the QR-code located on the device downside. Then simply place it wherever your water comes from, and you are ready to go.

Conclusion

1 – You need no one else to install this; just take it out of the box and install it wherever your water comes from.

2 – Regardless of how often you have leaks in your home, the device will withstand all of them due to the IP65 protection rating and a 5-year, lifelong battery built in.

3 – You’ll know if there’s a leak occurring in 0.15 milliseconds.
