AJAX Socket Type F User manual

Socket (type F) User Manual
Updated April 1, 2022
Socket (type F) is a wireless indoor smart plug with the power-consumption
meter for indoor use. Designed as a European plug adapter (type F), Socket
(type F) controls the power supply of electrical appliances with a load of up to
2.5 kW. Socket (type F) indicates the load level and is protected from overload.
Connecting to the Ajax security system via a secured radio protocol,
the device supports communication at a distance of up to 1,000 m in line of
sight.
Socket (type F) operates with only and does not support connecting via
or integration modules.
Use scenarios to program actions of (Relay, WallSwitch or
Socket (type F)) in response to an alarm, press or a schedule. A scenario
can be created remotely in the Ajax app.

4. Two-pin plug.

Socket (type F) switches on/off the 230 V~ power supply, opening one pole by
the user command in the or automatically according to ,
, .
Socket (type F) is protected against voltage overload (exceeding the range of
184–253 V~) or overcurrent (exceeding 11 A). In case of overload, the power
supply switches off, resuming automatically when voltage restored to normal
values. In case of overcurrent, the power supply switches off automatically, but
can only be restored manually by the user command in the Ajax app.
The maximum resistive load is 2.5 kW. When using inductive or capacitive loads, the
maximum switching current is reduced to 8 A at 230 V~.
Socket (type F) with rmware version 5.54.1.0 and higher can operate in pulse or
bistable mode. With this rmware version you can also select the relay contact
status:
Socket (type F) with rmware version below 5.54.1.0 only works in bistability
mode with a normally open contact.
In the app, users can check the power or amount of energy consumed by
electrical appliances connected via Socket (type F).
At low loads (up to 25 W), current and power consumption indications may be displayed
incorrectly due to hardware limitations.

Normally closed — Socket (type F) stops supplying power when activated,
and resumes when turned off.
Normally open — Socket (type F) supplies power when activated, and stops
feeding when turned off.
How to nd out the rmware version of the device?

Connecting
Before connecting the device
Only users with administrator rights can add a device to the app.
To pair Socket (type F) with the hub
1. Switch on the hub and check its Internet connection (the logo glows white
or green).
2. Install the . Create the account, add the hub to the app, and create
at least one room.
Ajax app
3. Make sure that the hub is not armed, and it does not update by checking its
status in the Ajax app.
1. Click Add device in the Ajax app.
2. Name the device, scan it, or enter the QR code manually (located on the
case and packaging), select the room.
3. Plug the Socket (type F) into a power outlet and wait 30 seconds — the LED
frame will ash green.
4. Click Add — the countdown will begin.
5. Socket (type F) will appear in the list of hub devices.

The device statuses update depends on the ping interval set in the hub settings.
The default value is 36 seconds.
If the device failed to pair, wait 30 seconds and then retry.
For detection and pairing to occur, the device should be located in the coverage
area of the hub’s wireless network (at the same object). A connection request is
transmitted only at the moment of switching on the device.
When pairing the hub with the smart plug that was previously paired with
another hub, make sure that it was unpaired with a former hub in the Ajax app.
For correct unpairing, the device should be in the coverage area of the hub’s
wireless network (at the same object): when unpaired correctly, the Socket (type
F) LED frame continuously blinks green.
If the device has not been correctly unpaired, do the following to connect it to
the new hub:
Socket (type F) can be connected to one hub only.
Icons
1. Make sure that Socket (type F) is outside the coverage area of the former
hub’s wireless network (the indicator of the communication level between
the device and the hub in the app is crossed out).
2. Select the hub with which you want to pair Socket (type F).
3. Click Add Device.
4. Name the device, scan or enter the QR code manually (located on the case
and packaging), select the room.
5. Click Add — the countdown will begin.
6. During the countdown, for a few seconds, give Socket (type F) at least 25 W
load (by connecting and disconnecting a working kettle or lamp).
7. Socket (type F) will appear in the list of hub devices.

The icons show some of the Socket (type F) states. You can view them in the
Ajax app on the Devices tab.

To run a test, in the Ajax app:
Selection of the installation site
When choosing where to install Socket (type F), take into account the Jeweller
signal strength and the distance between the device and the hub or the
Ajax application
1. Select a hub if you have several or use a PRO app.
2. Go to the Devices tab.
3. Select Socket (type F) in the list.
4. Go to Settings .
5. Select and run the Jeweller Signal Strength Test.

presence of objects that obstruct the radio signal: walls, inter-oor slabs or large
structures located at the premises.
Socket (type F) must be installed with a stable Jeweller signal level of 2 to 3
bars.
To roughly calculate the signal strength at the place of installation, use our
. Use a if the signal
strength is less than 2 bars at the intended installation location.
Do not place Socket (type F):

1. Outdoors. Doing so may cause the device to malfunction or not work
correctly.
2. Near metal objects or mirrors (e.g., in a metal cabinet). They can shield and
attenuate the radio signal.
3. Inside any premises with the temperature and humidity beyond permissible
limits. Doing so may cause the device to malfunction or not work correctly.
4. Close to radio interference sources: less than 1 meter away from the router
and power cables. This can cause a loss of connection between a hub or a
range extender and the smart plug.
5. In places with low or unstable signal strength. This can cause a loss of
connection between a hub or a range extender and the smart plug.

Before installing the smart plug, make sure that you have selected the optimal
location and that it complies with the requirements of this manual.
When installing and operating the device, follow the general electrical safety
rules for using electrical appliances and the requirements of electrical safety
regulations.
To install Socket (type F):
Socket (type F) will turn on within 3 seconds after connection. The device
indication will inform you that it is on.
