    elausys22 June 2026

    Up and running in 5 minutes. This guide walks you through mounting, wiring, configuring and testing your ELAUSYS AJAX-MBTCP gateway, which exposes your AJAX alarm system over Modbus TCP. For full details, see the user manual.

    1. Connection

    1. Mount on DIN rail — 2 SU enclosure.
    2. Power → bottom terminal — 12–30 VDC screw terminal.
    3. Ethernet → RJ45 — same LAN as the AJAX Hub & Modbus master.
    4. Power on — Modbus TCP server on port 502.

    Front panel LEDs

    • Network — Ethernet OK.
    • Connected — AJAX Hub communication OK.

    2. Configuration

    1. Set gateway IP — browse to 192.168.1.51, then set a static IP.
    2. Enter AJAX Hub ID — Web UI → AJAX Config → 8-character Hub ID.
    3. AJAX Hub → SIA events — in Monitoring Station, set the gateway IP + port 2410.
    4. Invite Elausys — in the AJAX app, invite info@elausys.be (arm/disarm).
    5. Set Partition Mode — match the AJAX groups and set the area count.
    6. Modbus TCP ready — port 502, Unit ID 1. Poll the coils.

    3. Quick test

    • Network LED green — Ethernet link OK.
    • Connected LED green — AJAX Hub communication OK.
    • Write arm/disarm coil — the AJAX app reflects the new state.
    • Trigger a zone with the system armed — detector coil toggles (0x2F+).

    4. Troubleshooting

    SymptomWhat to check
    No detector updatesArm the system or set the zone to Always Active.
    Arm/disarm ignoredInvite Elausys + check internet access.
    Connected LED offCheck LAN + SIA target = gateway IP : 2410.
    Modbus read failsPoll < 60 s. Write only coils 0x00–0x0A.
