AJAX SpaceControl User Manual

Introduction

Space Control is a miniature key fob with accidental click protection. It allows to set the Ajax security system in the armed, night or disarmed mode, as well as switch on an alarm. As it is the two-way communication, you will know whether the system has received the SpaceControl command. Operating as part of the Ajax security system, the key fob is connected to the hub via the protected Jeweller protocol. In addition, the key fob can be used to control any third party security central unit through the uartBridge or ocBridge Plus integration module. The key fob is set up through the iOS and Android-based mobile app for smartphones.Buy key fob SpaceControl

Using the key fob

Maximum connection distance between the key fob and the hub — 1,300 meters. This distance is reduced by walls, inserted floors and any objects hindering the signal transmission. SpaceControl operates only with one security system (Aja or third-party system via the integration module). If you connect the key fob to a new security system, it will cease to interact with the previous system. However, the key fob will not be automatically deleted from the list of devices of the hub.

The key fob can

  • Arm the system — press the button (O) once
  • Turn on the night mode — press the button (c) once
  • Disarm the system — press the button (C) once
  • Switch on an alarm — press the button (!) once

To turn off the actuated security system (siren), press the disarming mode button (C) on the keyfob.Accidental click protection is available on the SpaceControl with firmware version 5.54.1.0 and higher.

Operational Indication

The key fob reports its status only after any button is pressed.Type and color of indication of the key fob display depends on the firmware version of the device.

Firmware version 3.16 and lowerThe LEDs next to the pressed button quickly blink green 4 times

Firmware version 3.18 and higherThe central LED lights up red briefly

 The command has not been delivered as the security system is too far away and cannot receive the command
Two LEDs next to the button light up green twice. Then 4 key fob LEDs blink green 6 times The key fob has been removed from the security system devices
The central LED lights up green for a few seconds Linking a key fob to the security system
Firmware version 3.18 and higherThe central LED lights up green for approximately half a second The system has executed the key fob command
Firmware version 3.18 and higherThe central LED lights up red for approximately half a second The system has not executed the key fob command — integrity verification is enabled in the system and one of the devices is faulty

What is system integrity check?
Firmware version 3.16 and lowerAfter the main indication, the central LED lights up green once and gradually goes out

Firmware version 3.18 and higherAfter the main indication, the central LED lights up red once and goes out gradually

Key fob Maintenance and Battery Replacement

When cleaning the key fob body use any means suitable for equipment maintenance Do not use for cleaning SpaceControl any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline and other active solvents.The pre-installed battery provides up to 5 years of operation of the key fob during normal use (one arming and disarming of the security system per day). More frequent use can reduce battery life. You can check battery level at any time in the Ajax app. The pre-installed battery is sensitive to low temperatures and if the key fob is significantly cooled, the battery level indicator in the app may show incorrect values until the key fob gets warm.

The value of the battery level is not updated regularly, but only after pressing one of the buttons at the key fob.

When the battery is discharged, the user will receive a notification in the Ajax app, and the key fob LED will slowly light up and go out red each time the button is pressed (key fobs with firmware version 3.16 and lower light up green).
