AJAX DoorProtect User manual

DoorProtect User Manual
Updated January 24, 2022
DoorProtect is a wireless door and window opening detector designed for
indoor use. It can operate up to 7 years from a pre-installed battery and capable
to detect more than 2 millions openings. DoorProtect has a socket for
connecting an external detector.
The functional element of DoorProtect is a sealed contact reed relay. It consists of
ferromagnetic contacts placed in a bulb that form a continuous circuit under the effect
of a constant magnet.
DoorProtect operates within the Ajax security system, connecting via the
protected radio protocol. Communication range is up to 1,200 m in the
line of sight. Using the or integration modules,
DoorProtect can be used as part of third party security systems.
The detector is set up via for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows. The
app noties user of all events through push notications, SMS and calls (if
activated).

The Ajax security system is self-sustaining, but the user can connect it to the
central monitoring station of a private security company.

DoorProtect consists of two parts: the detector with a sealed contact reed relay,
and the constant magnet. Attach the detector to the door frame, while the
magnet can be attached to the moving wing or sliding part of the door. If the
sealed contact reed relay is within the coverage area of the magnetic eld, it
closes the circuit, which means that the detector is closed. The opening of the
door pushes out the magnet from the sealed contact reed relay and opening the
circuit. In such a way, the detector recognizes the opening.
Attach the magnet to the RIGHT of the detector.
A small magnet works at a distance of 1 cm, and the big one — up to 2 cm.
After actuation, DoorProtect immediately transmits the alarm signal to the hub,
activating the sirens and notifying the user and security company.
Pairing the Detector
Before starting pairing:
Only users with administrator rights can add the device to the hub.
How to pair the detector with the hub:
1. Following the hub instruction recommendations, install the on your
smartphone. Create an account, add the hub to the app, and create at least
one room.
Ajax app
2. Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable
and/or GSM network).
3. Make sure that the hub is disarmed and does not update by checking its
status in the app.

For detection and pairing to occur, the detector should be located within the
coverage area of the wireless network of the hub (at the same facility).
1. Select theAdd Device option in the Ajax app.
2. Name the device, scan/write manually the QR Code (located on the body
and packaging), and select the location room.
3. SelectAdd— the countdown will begin.
4. Switch on the device.

The request for connection to the hub is transmitted for a short period of time at
the moment of switching on the device.
If pairing with the hub failed, switch off the detector for 5 seconds and retry it.
If the detector has paired with the hub, it will appear in the list of devices in the
Ajax app. The update of the detectors statuses in the list depends on the
detector ping interval set in the hub settings. The default value is 36 seconds.
Connecting to Third-Party Systems
To connect the detector to a third-party security central unit using the
or integration modules, follow the recommendations in the user
manual of the respective device.

How to set Chime
Chime is a sound signal that indicates the triggering of the opening detectors
when the system is disarmed. The feature is used, for example, in stores, to
notify employees that someone has entered the building.
Notications are congured in two stages: setting up opening detectors and
setting up sirens.

Functionality Testing
The Ajax security system allows conducting tests for checking the functionality
of connected devices.
The tests do not start immediately but within 36 seconds by default. The
starting time depends on the ping interval (the paragraph on “Jeweller” settings
in hub settings).
Installing the Detector
Selecting the location
Location of DoorProtect is determined by its remoteness from the hub and
presence of any obstacles between the devices hindering the radio signal
transmission: walls, inserted oors, large objects located within the room.
The device developed only for indoor use.

Check the signal level at the installation location
If the signal level is low (one bar), we cannot guarantee stable operation of the
security system. Take all possible measures to improve the quality of the signal!
As a minimum, move the device — even 20 cm shift can signicantly improve
the quality of the reception.
If after moving the device still has a low or unstable signal strength, use a
.
The detector is located either inside or outside of the door case (window frame).
When installing the detector in the perpendicular planes (inside the case/frame),
use the small magnet. The distance between the magnet and detector should
not exceed 1 cm.
When positioning the parts of DoorProtect in the same plane, use the big
magnet. Its actuation threshold — 2 cm.
Attach the magnet to the moving part of the door (window) to the right of the
detector. The side to which the magnet should be attached is marked with an
arrow on the detector’s body. If necessary, the detector may be positioned
horizontally.
Installing the detector
radio
signal range extender

Before installing the detector, make sure that you have selected the optimal
location and it complies with the guidelines of this manual!
Do not install the detector:
1. Fix the SmartBracket attachment panels and the magnet using the bundled
screws. If using any other attachment hardware, make sure that they do not
damage or deform the panel.
Double-sided adhesive tape may be only used for temporary attachment. The tape
will run dry in the course of time, which may result in falling of DoorProtect and
actuation of the security system. Furthermore, the device may fail from a hit.
2. Put the detector on the attachment panel. As soon as the detector is xed in
SmartBracket, it will blink with a LED signaling that the tamper is closed.
If the light indicator do not blink after installing in SmartBracket, check the status of
the tamper in the Ajax app and then the xing tightness of the panel.
If the detector is torn off from the surface or removed from the attachment
panel, you will receive a notication.
3. Put the magnet on the attachment panel.

Connecting a Third-Party Wired Detector
A wired detector with the NC contact type can be connected to DoorProtect
using the outside-mounted terminal clamp.
We recommend to install a wired detector at a distance not exceeding 1 meter —
increasing the wire length will increase the risk of its damage and reduce the
quality of communication between the detectors.
To lead out the wire from the detector body, break out the plug:
1. outside the premises (outdoors);
2. nearby any metal objects or mirrors causing attenuation or interference of
the signal;
3. inside any premises with the temperature and humidity beyond the
permissible limits;
4. closer than 1 m to the hub.

If the external detector is actuated, you will receive a notication.
Detector Maintenance and Battery Replacement
Check the operational capability of the DoorProtect detector on a regular basis.
Clean the detector body from dust, spider web and other contaminations as they
appear. Use soft dry napkin suitable for equipment maintenance.
Do not use any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline and other
active solvents for cleaning the detector.
The battery lifetime depends on battery quality, actuation frequency of the
detector and ping interval of the detectors by the hub.
If the door opens 10 times a day and the ping interval is 60 seconds, then
DoorProtect will operate up to 7 years from the pre-installed battery. Setting the
ping interval of 12 seconds, you will reduce the battery life to 2 years.
If the detector battery is discharged, you will receive a notication, and the LED
will smoothly light up and go out, if the detector or tamper is actuated.
