Functional Elements
- Door Protect Plus
- Big magnet (should be placed to the right of the detector)
- Small magnet (should be placed to the right of the detector)
- LED indicator
- Smart Bracket attachment panel (perforated part triggers the tamper button in case of any attempt to tear off the detector from the surface)
- External detector connection socket
- QR code
- Device switch
- Tamper button
Operating Principle
Door Protect Plus consists of two parts: the detector and the constant magnet.
The detector is equipped with the sealed contact reed relay, built-in
accelerometer, and socket for a third-party wired detector.
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 cubit, which means that the detector
is closed. The opening of the door pushes out the magnet from the sealed
contact reed relay and opens the circuit. In such a way, the detector
recognizes the opening.
The Door Protect Plus set includes two constant magnets. The small one works
at a distance of 1 cm, and the big one — up to 2 cm.
The detector can be positioned horizontally. If there is no need to detect
opening, use only the detector part (without magnets) and disable the primary
detector in the settings.
The accelerometer detects shocks and vertical deviation relative to the
initial position of more than 5°. Door Protect Plus can be installed on
windows, including dormer windows, and the system can be armed when they are
slightly open (disable the primary detector in the settings рreviously).
**** Attach the magnet to the RIGHT of the detector.
If triggered, Door Protect Plus immediately transmits the alarm signal to the
hub, activating the sirens and notifying the user and security company.
Connecting
Before starting connection
- Following the hub user guide, install the . Create the account, add Ajax app the hub, and create at least one room.
- Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable and/or GSM network).
- Make sure that the hub is disarmed and does not update by checking its status in the Ajax app.
**** Only users with administrator rights can add the device to the hub.
How to connect the detector to the hub
- Select Add Device in the Ajax app.
- Name the device, scan or type the QR code (located on the detector body and packaging), and select the location room.
- Tap Add — the countdown will start.
- Switch on the device.
For detection and pairing to occur, the detector should be located within the
coverage area of the wireless network of the hub (at a single protected
object). The connection request is transmitted for a short time: at the moment
of switching on the device.
If the device failed to pair (LED blinks once per second), switch it off for 5
seconds and retry. The detector connected to the hub appears in the list of
devices in the app. The update of the detector statuses in the list depends on
the device ping interval set in the hub settings (the default value is 36
seconds).

Performance 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).

Attenuation Test
Installing the Detector
The location of DoorProtect Plus depends on its remoteness from the hub, and obstacles hindering the radio signal transmission: walls, floors, large objects inside the room.
The device developed only for indoor use.
Check the Jeweller signal level at the installation location
If the signal level is low (one bar), we cannot guarantee the stable operation
of the detector. Take all possible measures to improve the quality of the
signal. At least, move the detector: even a 20 cm shift can signore the
quality of signal reception.
If after moving the device still has a low or unstable signal strength, use a
radio signal range extender.
Do not install the detector:
- outside the premises (outdoors);
- nearby any metal objects or mirrors causing attenuation or screening of the signal;
- at any places with fast air circulation (air fans, open windows or doors);
- inside premises with the temperature and humidity beyond the range of permissible limits;
- closer than 1 m to the hub.
Attach the magnet 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. The
detector is located either inside or outside the door case (window frame).
When installing the detector in the perpendicular planes (inside the
case/frame), use the small magnet from the set. The distance between the
magnet and detector should not exceed 1 cm.
When positioning the parts of DoorProtect Plus in the same plane, use the big
magnet. Its actuation threshold is 2 cm.
Detector Testing
Having defined the location, fix the detector and magnet with the double-sided
adhesive tape and check its operation of using the Detection Zone test.
In the test mode, the DoorProtect Plus LED lights continuously, switching off
for a second, if the detector is triggered. Check the correct operation of the
device by opening/closing the door several times.
Connecting a Third-Party Wired Detector
A wired detector with an NC (normally closed) contact type can be connected to
DoorProtect Plus using the in-built terminal clamp.
We recommend installing the wired detector at a distance no longer than 1
meter to DoorProtect Plus. Longer wire length increases the risk of its damage
and reduces the quality of communication between the detectors.
To put out the wire from the detector body, break out the plug:
If the connected wired detector is triggered, you receive the notification
To make sure the alarm is raised when the roller shutter is opened, connect
the wired roller shutter motion detector with the NC (normally closed) contact
to DoorProtect Plus. The function is available for the devices with e version
5.53.1.0 and higher.

Installation
Before installing the detector, make sure that you have selected the optimal location that follows the guidelines of this manual!
-
Fix the Smart Bracket attachment panel using bundled screws. If you use any other attachment tools, make sure that they do not damage or deform the attachment panel.
**** Use double-side adhesive tape only for temporary attachment of the detector. The tape runs dry with time, which can cause falling, false triggering, and detector malfunction. -
Put the detector on the attachment panel. When the detector is fixed in Smart Bracket, it blinks with LED, signaling that the tamper is closed. If LED doesn’t blink after fixing in Smart Bracket, check the status of the tamper in the Ajax app and then the fixing tightness of the panel.
If someone detaches the detector from the surface or takes it off the attachment panel, the security system notifies you. -
Put the magnet on the attachment panel.
Maintenance
Check the operational capability of the detector regularly. Clean the detector
body from dust, spider web, and other contaminants as they appear. Use soft
dry napkin suitable for tech equipment.
Do not use any substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline, and other
active solvents to clean the detector.
The battery life depends on its quality, detector triggering frequency, and
ping interval by the hub.
If the door opens 10 times a day and the detector ping interval is 60 seconds,
then DoorProtect Plus operates 7 years from the pre-installed battery. For
instance, a 12-seconds ping interval reduces the battery life to 2 years.
How long Ajax devices operate on batteries, and what affects this
If the detector battery is low, the system notifies, and the LED indicator
smoothly lights up and goes off if a glass break is detected or the tamper is
triggered.
