The JA-182M wireless magnetic door-detector
The JA-182M is a component of Jablotron’s alarm system. It is designed to detect opening windows, doors, etc. It can be installed into plastic or wooden frames and is suitable for most types of fitting. The battery-powered detector communicates via Jablotron radio protocol.
Installation preliminaries
Installation shall only be undertaken by technicians holding a certificate
issued by an authorized distributor. The detector must not be exposed to
bending or other deformation, otherwise it can be damaged. The product should
be installed into a gap between the moving and nonmoving parts of windows or
doors where the closing mechanism of a fitting is located. In practice, there
exist various window/door frames and fittings. It is therefore wise to verify
before installation that the detector fits the given window/door type. In the
case of a wooden frame with too narrow a profile, it is usually possible to
mill out a groove for detector insertion. This detector reacts to the removal
of its magnet unit. The electronics should be installed onto the non-moving
part of windows or doors, and the magnet onto the moving part. If the supplied
magnet does not exactly match the window/door construction you can call the
window/door supplier for a magnet of a suitable type. Alternatively, you can
adjust the magnet’s position using a suitable back plate.

- fixing holes LED indicator – 15 minutes after closing the detector’s battery cover, the LED indicates detector triggering (a flashing light indicates window opening, a long light indicates that both rear tamper sensors have been triggered).
- Find a suitable place for the detector’s location so that the magnet is aligned with the A (or B) adjustment line when the window/door is closed. After opening the window/door, the magnet’s distance from the detector should increase by at least 2 cm.
- Avoid locating the detector directly on a metal frame as metal influences the functioning of the magnetic sensor and radio communication. This can be usually achieved by placing the detector on the hinge side of the window/door. In addition, avoid installing the detector onto the bottom part of the window/door frame due to possible water condensation.
- Screw the magnet onto the moving part of the window according to the following picture. Use a non-metallic back-plate if the frame groove is too wide.
- Unscrew the battery cover and screw the detector on so that the magnet is aligned with the A (or B) adjustment line when the window/door is closed, see the picture. Be careful not to use too much force while screwing on, otherwise the detector’s plastic body could be damaged.
- You can use the long plastic plates supplied in the package to ensure that the place for detector attachment is sufficiently even. After the detector has been installed, at least one of the rear tamper sensors must be permanently closed (pressed).
- Carefully try out, if the detector (magnet) makes no obstruction when closing the window/door.
- If all is in order, you can configure the detector’s functionality (see DIP switches below).
- Enter enrollment mode on the control panel (or on a receiver). Subsequently, install battery cells into the detector and screw the battery cover on (2 screws). After connecting the battery the detector will send an enrollment signal. Up to 10 seconds delay is to be expected to the detector’s response to putting the magnet away/close or pressing/releasing tamper sensors.
- After the detector has been enrolled, you can check its functioning. On the Jablotron control panel, you should also check signal strength.
DIP switches
There are four DIP switches located under the battery cover:
| No. | OFF | ON |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rear tamper sensors OFF | Rear tamper sensors ON* |
| 2 | Permanent window/door status signaling | Only window/door opening will be |
signaled **
3***| The system will provide an exit/entrance delay| The system will respond
with an instant alarm
4| No function
Default settings are shown in bold
- To detect intrusion the switch should be ON.
** Switching ON (when only window/door opening will be signaled) is suitable for bedrooms, where windows/doors are left open for ventilation during the protection period.
*** This setting will apply if the detector is used with a Jablotron control panel with a natural reaction pre-programmed for the detector’s address.
Detector functionality
If DIP switch no. 2 is OFF, the detector will indicate whether the window/door is open. When used within a Jablotron system and the system is set (armed) while the window/door is open, the detector will be bypassed. However, if somebody closes the window/door while the system is set, then subsequently opening it will trigger an alarm. This also applies to pulling the window/door handle by string. If you do not wish permanent window/door open status to be indicated on the keypad, then DIP switch no. 2 should be ON. This will ensure that only a window/door opening will be signaled.
Battery replacement
The detector monitors its battery voltage and if too low, a report is sent to
the control panel to inform the installer or user. The detector continues to
function, however, battery replacement should not be delayed by more than two
weeks. Always replace both battery cells. We recommend using a high-quality
brand-name battery (e.g. Panasonic). After the battery has been replaced,
detector functioning should be tested.
Expired batteries should not be thrown into the garbage, but disposed of
according to local regulations.
Removing the detector from the system
If a detector is removed, the control panel announces the removal. The
detector has to be deleted in the control panel before intentional removal.
