Discover future-proof hardware

Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra comes in two versions: as a standalone device in its original casing and as a board. When installed in the original casing, the module’s current status is always visible thanks to LED indication. If purchased without casing, the Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra board can be mounted1 into Case D (430). This setup allows installers to combine the integration module with other devices and arrange them efficiently within a single casing.

Turn outdated into innovative

With Ajax integration modules, there is no need to spend a fortune on replacing an old alarm setup. Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra is designed to help build a modern security and automation system based on outdated yet operative equipment. This solution allows older burglar alarms to seamlessly integrate with the latest Ajax devices, take part in automation scenarios, and send detailed notifications to users’ smartphones. Installers, in turn, save time with minimal on-site visits thanks to fast installation, remote configuration, and real-time monitoring via Ajax apps.

Unfettered potential of an Ajax system

Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra expands the capabilities of an Ajax system to meet the demands of even the most complex and niche projects. The 18 inputs allow installers to integrate any third-party security or automation device outside Ajax portfolio, from infrared motion detectors and household gas sensors to thermostats, and float sensors. Once connected to a hub via the integration module, each device can be assigned an event type and can promptly send notifications of any threat or activity in Ajax apps.

Always in the loop with informative notifications

Third-party devices connected via Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra notify users and security companies of system events on par with Ajax products. Specify the connected device’s name and assign it a virtual room. Choose from over 10 available event types, such as intrusion, fire, or auxiliary alarm. Then, once an alarm is triggered, users and the CMS receive detailed notifications indicating the type of event and its location. Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra also alerts users to malfunctions, such as communication loss.

• Alarm and event notifications for users and the CMS
• Full situation awareness: know what happened and where
• Numerous event types for connected devices
• Always in the loop with informative notifications

Maximum compatibility with third-party devices

Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra allows an extensive selection of wired devices to be integrated into an Ajax system. The integration module supports all the most common connection types, including NC, NO, and EOL with resistance from 1 to 15 kΩ. Installers can connect both pulse and bistable devices, set the default state of contacts to normally open or normally closed, and assign one of many event types. The entire configuration process takes just a few taps in an Ajax app.

• NC, NO, EOL, 2EOL, and 3EOL connection types supported
• Support for pulse and bistable operating modes
• KeyArm Zone

Less hassle with automated security

With Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra, even older third-party alarm equipment becomes part of a smart and automated security system. Alarms and events received from integrated devices can trigger automation scenarios. This enables the security system to respond to threats instantly, without waiting for a response team or police. For instance, an Ajax system can lock the front door if someone attempts to break it, turn on lights upon the motion detector alarm, or switch off potential ignition sources at the first sign of fire. Devices assigned with a custom event type do not trigger alarms but send event notifications and can activate non-alarm automation scenarios.

Unique wired technology

Fibra is proprietary Ajax technology for secure two-way communication between devices and a hub or module that extends the Fibra line. Fibra features encryption and device authentication to prevent sabotage, spoofing, and data theft. The Fibra line supports all types of devices, including sirens, keypads, and detectors with photo verification.

Energy efficiency as a priority

Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra is powered by 100–240 V~ mains and can also use a 12 V⎓ backup battery. The module provides 10.5–15 V⎓ power to connected devices via four power supply outputs: one for a fire detector and three for other devices.

The integration module and its connected devices draw zero energy from the Fibra line and maintain low power consumption from their power supply sources. Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra uses Fibra communication based on the TDMA principle. The device exchanges data with the hub in short intervals. During the rest of the time, its communication module remains inactive. This significantly reduces power consumption and minimizes interference, even when multiple devices communicate simultaneously.

System supervision

Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra performs automatic self-diagnosis and reports its status to the hub. Essential parameters of the integration module, such as tamper state, communication, and power supply, are continuously monitored. The Ajax Cloud server controls communication between the hub and Ajax apps, ensuring instant notifications for the CMS, security companies, and users. In the event of a malfunction or communication failure, an engineer is promptly notified to provide necessary services.

• Automatic self-diagnosis and status reporting by the integration module
• Regular polling to display the current module state in apps
• Instant maintenance notifications

Complex sabotage protection

Tamper alarm
The Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra board has two tampers4 to notify the security company and users if someone tries to open a lid and detach the device. When installed in an Ajax Case, Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra can be connected to the case’s tamper board and detect if the case lid is opened.

Protection against short-circuiting the Fibra line
The Fibra protocol and a special digital algorithm provide reliable protection against undetected short-circuiting of the module or the Fibra line. If such an attempt occurs, the system immediately notifies both the CMS and users of the incident.

Data encryption between the hub and the module
All stored and transmitted data in the system is protected by block encryption with a dynamic key. Encryption makes it extremely difficult to connect to the module with the intention of sabotage.

Protection against module spoofing
During each communication session, the hub authenticates Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra by checking the module’s unique parameters. If any parameter fails the check, the hub ignores the device commands.

Regular polling of the integration module
Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra regularly exchanges data with the hub. The system controls the module state and reports any malfunction and connection loss.

Informative notifications
An Ajax system instantly delivers informative notifications of alarms and events. Security companies and users receive precise details about each incident, including time, location, and the triggered device.

Sabotage protection for connected devices
Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra supports all connection types, from NC/NO to 3EOL, and identifies all events from connected devices. Therefore, users and the CMS are immediately notified of tamper alarms, masking attempts, or any other malfunctions or sabotage related to connected third-party devices.

Protection of integrated devices’ wired connection
Thanks to EOL connection support, Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra instantly detects cable breakage or short circuits between the module’s alarm zones and connected devices. Additionally, the integration module detects short circuits in the power supply line of third-party devices, ensuring that every sabotage attempt is immediately noticed.

PRO is king

Installing a wired system has always been a challenge. Ajax offers an ultimate set of tools to make the process easy and flexible, from project design to client support and system maintenance. When connecting wired devices via Superior MultiTransmitter Fibra, there is no need to measure each device’s resistance manually. It is done automatically, which is more time-efficient and accurate. Intuitive Ajax apps help quickly make the integration module and third-party equipment a part of the system, and each device can be reconfigured remotely at any moment. No programming is required — everything is available out of the box.
