How to Change Batteries in Ajax Alarm Sensors | Ultimate Guide For Every Jeweller Device

Welcome to the Pipl Systems Media Portal – Your Guide to Expert Security Solutions!

In the world of security systems, maintaining operational integrity is paramount. This is especially true for wireless systems where battery management is crucial to system upkeep. Today, we delve into a comprehensive guide on replacing batteries in Ajax Alarm Sensors, ensuring your security apparatus remains in peak condition.

Battery Replacement Guidelines for Ajax Devices

The Ajax system monitors the battery levels in its devices and notifies users in advance when replacements are necessary. When the battery level drops to approximately 10%, users receive notifications via the app, and the security company’s control panel receives alerts upon arming the system, indicating battery malfunction. Depending on settings and usage conditions, users have up to 2 months from the notification to replace the batteries.

Avoid mixing different battery models, brands, or charge levels if a sensor uses multiple batteries. Cross-charging between batteries can significantly reduce the overall set’s lifespan.

For optimal performance and longevity of your Ajax device, we recommend using the following batteries:

• Panasonic CR123A Industrial Lithium Battery, 3 V (product model number 4330203048, manufacturer: Indonesia)
• Huiderui CR123A, 3 V, 1600 mAh, LiMnO2
• Renata CR2032
• Panasonic CR2032 (BAT487)
• Panasonic CR2032BS
• Huiderui CR-2, 3 V, 850 mAh, LiMnO2
• Huiderui AA, 1.5 V, 2900 mAh, LiFeS2
• Energizer AA Ultimate Lithium, L91
• Huiderui AAA, 1.5 V, 1200 mAh, LiFeS2
• Energizer AAA, 1.5 V, 1200 mAh, LiFeS2 Lithium bulk

Using different batteries may result in varying lifespans from the calculated estimates.

Battery Life Calculation for Ajax Devices

The battery life of a device is influenced by several factors. Use the battery life calculator to estimate the autonomous operation time of your device, taking these factors into account.

Key Points to Remember about Ajax Device Batteries

• Battery life is affected by multiple factors, making calculations approximate.
• Consider temperature fluctuations at installation locations.
• Avoid activating settings that frequently engage the sensor’s radio module unnecessarily, particularly the Always Active mode and shortening the hub-sensor polling interval.
• Use only recommended batteries. Replace batteries with a set of the same type and brand.

Ajax Systems, a frontrunner in wireless security solutions, designs its devices with longevity and reliability in mind. However, battery replacements are inevitable due to natural wear and periodic intense communications with the Ajax Hub, and the environmental conditions in which devices operate.
