JABLOTRON JA-153M-AN (01) PDF DOCUMENT

The JABLOTRON JA-153M-AN should be installed by a trained technician with a valid certificate. During installation, avoid placing the device directly onto metal surfaces, as this may negatively impact communication.

The basic installation procedure is as follows:

1. Open the device cover by pressing the housing tab (2).

2. Mount the device’s backplate onto a chosen location.

3. Screw the selected magnet onto a moving part, e.g., a door leaf. The bottom edge of the ferrite magnet plastic must coincide with the bottom edge of the detector housing. It is recommended to use a special non-magnetic screw (included in the package) to attach the ring magnet.

4. Proceed according to the control panel installation manual:

a. In the F-Link software, select the required position in the Devices window and launch the enrolment mode by clicking on the Enrol option.

b. Insert the battery (mind the correct polarity). The enrolment signal is transmitted when the battery is inserted into the detector.

5. Close the detector cover.

6. In order to comply with norms, the front cover must be secured with the supplied locking screw (1).

7. Configure the detector by following the internal settings chapter in the manual.

Note: The JABLOTRON JA-153M-AN can also be enrolled into the system by entering its serial number into the F-Link software. The sticker with the serial number/bar code is located on the battery holder.

The JABLOTRON JA-153M-AN detector uses bi-directional asynchronous communication. This allows for changing the internal settings remotely and saving battery capacity simultaneously.

After enrolment, the detector operates in an accelerated mode (for up to 24 hours), checking every 90 seconds if the system is still in service mode or if new settings should be applied.

In service mode, the detector communicates once every 19 minutes or with each activation. When switching from operational mode to service mode, it can take up to 19 minutes for the detector to recognize the change. This period can be reduced by activating the detector or its tamper sensor.

The settings for the JABLOTRON JA-153M-AN are configured using the F-Link software. In the “Devices” tab, use the “Internal settings” option on the detector’s position. A dialog will appear where the following functions can be set:

LED indication: Can be set to On/Off.

Pulse mode: When selected, only activations are transmitted to the system.

Detection of external magnetic field: When switched on, the detector will analyze its surrounding magnetic field. If a disturbance is detected (e.g., by an external magnet), the detector will declare an Input Activation and a Fault. This function provides higher protection but requires calibration.

Warning: When the external magnet detection function is on, the window or door can only be opened in the direction in which the magnet movement has been calibrated. Otherwise, the detector will declare a Fault with the Activation. This function cannot be used for windows or doors that open in multiple ways (e.g., opening and tilting).

To use the external magnetic field detection feature, the JABLOTRON JA-153M-AN must be calibrated. You can start calibration from the F-Link software or directly from the device.

To start calibration from the device:

1. The system must be in Service mode.

2. Activate the tamper contact (open the plastic cover) and within 5 seconds, deactivate the tamper contact (close the plastic cover).

The calibration procedure with LED indications is as follows:

1. LED Off: The device is waiting for connection. To continue, activate and deactivate the magnet (open and close the window/door).

2. Yellow LED on: The detector has established a connection. Start calibration to continue.

3. Activate the detector to confirm the presence of the magnet. The LED will indicate yellow with the red LED regularly flashing twice.

4. Return the magnetic detector into its un-activated state. The Yellow LED will be on with a rapid flashing of the red LED, indicating that magnetic detector calibration is taking place (for approx. 4 seconds).

5. Yellow LED on + slow flashing red LED: The detector is ready to continue calibration. To continue, activate the detector by opening and closing the window/door. Confirmation of the calibration will be indicated by the red LED lighting up for approx. 1 second. Then the red LED will go out and the setting status will change to “complete,” while the yellow LED remains lit.

Calibration can be terminated at any time by activating the tamper contact (opening the plastic cover).

The distance values for activation and deactivation of the JABLOTRON JA-153M-AN detector can vary depending on the mounting surface. The values below are for the supplied ferrite magnet and may differ with other magnet types or polarities.

The system sends a report automatically when the battery in the JABLOTRON JA-153M-AN is low. Before changing the battery, you must switch the system to Service mode to prevent a tamper alarm from being triggered. After replacing the battery, check the function of the detector to ensure it is working correctly.
