Description

One of the most common burglar alarm sensors is the door and window opening sensor. The window and door opening sensor consists of two parts: a sensor and a magnet. The sensor is based on a reed switch — a device in which the contacts are normally closed or open. Under the action of a magnetic field, the contacts open or close. The detector is mounted on the window frame, the door jamb, and the magnet is mounted on the sash. In a state of calm, the sensor and the magnet are located side by side — the sensor is in a magnetic field. When the door is opened, the magnet moves away from the sensor, the strength of the magnetic field becomes smaller, the contact in the sensor closes or opens, and the detector activates the alarm. When the door or window closes, the magnet begins to act on the sensor, and it works again. The distance between the magnet and the sensor housing is approximately 1.5 cm. This allows the detector to detect even a small opening of a window or door. Thanks to this principle of operation, the device is protected from false alarms caused by drafts, etc.

Detection

Sensing element
1 × accelerometer
2 × reed switch
The magnet can be installed to the right or left side of the detector.

Additional detector connection
Wired detector with the normally closed (NC) contact type.

Shock sensor sensitivity
3 levels
Adjusted by PRO or user with admin rights in the Ajax app. The detection radius depends on the material type:

  • Framed glass window — 1.2 m (high sensitivity level), 1 m (low sensitivity level).
  • Wooden plate — 1.2 m (high sensitivity level), 1 m (low sensitivity level).
  • Concrete plate — 0.75 m (high sensitivity level), 0.5 m (low sensitivity level).

The smoother and cleaner the detection surface is, the better the detection radius is.

Option to ignore single shock
Enabled by PRO or user with admin rights in the Ajax app.

Tilt sensor activation threshold
from 5° to 25°
Adjusted by PRO or user with admin rights in the Ajax app.

Recommendations Do not install the detector using both magnets at the same time.
The detector recognizes only one magnet on one side of the detector — left or right.
The device is designed for indoor use only.

Quick Start Guide

Guardian for doors, windows, and valuables

DoorProtect Plus Fibra is designed to detect intrusion and burglary attempts, offering comprehensive coverage for doors, windows, skylights, and vaults. The detector, equipped with two reed switches as opening sensors, features protection against chattering in its operation. Two sizes of magnets provide more mounting options. The device also identifies shock and tilt with a built-in accelerometer, protecting the facility even when windows are in airing mode. All in line with the Ajax user experience, ensuring quick and easy installation of the device.

Protection against
reed switch chattering

Easy wiring

with removable device board

High-end reed switches for reliable opening detection

DoorProtect Plus Fibra features two durable reed switches, guaranteeing decades of trouble-free operation. Two reed switches allow the magnet to be positioned on either side of the sensor (right or left). Housed in resilient plastic capsules, these switches remain intact even in cases of drops or transportation, ensuring the detector’s effective functionality irrespective of magnet placement.

  • Effective detection wherever the magnet is placed — left or right
  • Plastic capsules for protecting reed switches during transportation

Windows protection in an airing mode

The built-in accelerometer is designed to protect open windows, seamlessly adapting to diverse facility requirements. Installers can select a normal tilt angle for doors or windows, ranging from 5 to 25 degrees. The system swiftly detects even the slightest deviations from the usual position and provides customizable tilt detection duration, ranging from 1 second to 1 minute. In case the tilt angle surpasses the specified threshold for an extended period, the system raises an alarm. 

  • Tilt detection
  • Selection of the normal tilt angle
  • Adjustable time of alarm

Two reed switches

The magnet can be places on the left or right side of the detector

Shock and tilt detection

With built in accelerometer

Adjustable sensitivity

for shock and tilt sensor

Fixing points for mounting the detector and perforated parts for wire routing.

Immediate detection of threats

The built-in accelerometer responds swiftly to shocks, detecting potential burglary attempts such as door forcing and vault breaking. The shock sensor has three levels of sensitivity, which can be adjusted to match the secured facility specifics. The detector can also ignore a single impact to minimize the risk of false alarms triggered by external factors. Whether there are vibrations from neighboring constructions or heavy passing traffic, the installer can choose the most appropriate settings for accurate detection.

  • Early identification of threats through shock detection
  • Three sensitivity levels
  • Single shock ignoring to prevent false alarms
