JABLOTRON JA-150M Wireless Magnetic Detector
Installation
During installation, if possible, avoid placing the device directly onto metal surfaces, which may negatively impact the device’s ability to communicate with the system. Two types of magnets are supplied with the detector. A ferrite magnet in a plastic housing (A) and a ring magnet (B).
The correct location of both types of magnets is shown in the illustration. The distances for activation/deactivation of the detector with the ferrite magnet (for a nonmagnetic mounting surface) are shown in the table. For other magnet types or opposite polarity, these values may vary.
- Open the device cover by pressing the housing tab (2).
- Mount the device’s backplate onto a chosen location.
- 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.
- It is recommended to use a special non-magnetic screw to attach the ring magnet.
- Proceed according to the control panel installation manual: Basic procedure:
- In the F-Link software, select the required position in the Devices window and launch the enrolment mode by clicking on the Enrol option.
- Insert the battery (mind the correct polarity). The enrolment signal is transmitted when the battery is inserted into the detector.
- Close the detector cover.
- In order to comply with norms, the front cover must be secured with the supplied locking screw (1).
Detector Communication in the System
The detector uses bi-directional asynchronous communication, which allows changing the internal settings remotely and saving battery capacity simultaneously. After enrollment in the system, the detector operates in an accelerated mode until the service mode is exited (but no longer than 24 h). In this mode, the detector checks every 990 seconds whether the system is still in service mode or if new settings should be taken over.
In service mode, the detector communicates once every 19 minutes or with each activation. Therefore, when switching from operational mode to service mode, it can take up to 19 minutes for the detector to recognize control panel status or an internal settings change, which is indicated by the red font on the internal settings button. This period can be reduced by activating JABLOTRON JA-150M Wireless Magnetic Detector the JABLOTRON JA-153M Wireless Magnetic Detector the detector or its tamper sensor.
Please note: It is not necessary to wait 90 seconds (or 19 minutes) until the detector confirms delivery of the new setting when changes are applied. The system remembers the requested change and forwards the new settings to the detector during the next period of regular communication.
Internal Settings of the Detector
- LED indication: On/Off
- Detection of external magnetic field: When switched on, the detector will analyze its surrounding magnetic field, and in case of its disturbance (e.g., by an external magnet), the detector will declare Input Activation and a Fault. The function brings higher protection to the object.
- Calibration: button to start the calibration process.
- LED Off = the device is waiting for a connection. To continue, activate and deactivate the magnet (open and close the window/door).
- Yellow LED on = detector has established JABLOTRON JA-150M Wireless Magnetic Detector a connection. Start calibration to continue.
- Activate the detector to confirm the presence of the magnet. The LED indicates yellow, with the red LED regularly flashing twice.
- Please return the magnetic detector to its unactivated state. Yellow LED on + rapid flashing of red LED = magnetic detector calibration takes place for approx. 4 s.
- Yellow LED on + slow flashing red LED = detector is ready to continue calibration. To continue, activate the detector by opening and closing the window/door.1 s. Then the red LED will go out, and the setting status will change to complete; the yellow LED remains lit.

Battery Replacement
The system sends a report automatically when the battery is low. Check the right function of the detector after battery replacement.

FAQs
Q: What is the main function of the JABLOTRON JA-150M magnetic detector?
A wireless magnetic contact detector called the JA-150M is made to track when windows, doors, and other movable barriers open. As soon as it detects an opening, your JABLOTRON alarm system is notified.
Q: How does the magnetic detector work?ll
A magnet and a magnetic sensor make up the detector. The system recognises the change and sends a signal to the control panel when the magnet travels away from the sensor (for instance, when a door is opened).
Q: Where should I install the JA-150M for the best performance?
Place the magnet on the moving component (window or door) and the sensor unit on the stationary frame. Make sure the two components line up correctly and that there isn’t more space between them than is advised (often a few millimetres).
Q: Can the JA-150M detect vibrations or glass breakage?
Use additional JABLOTRON sensors that are compatible with glass-break or vibration detection.
Q: What is the typical communication range of the JA-150M?
In open areas, the wireless range usually reaches up to 300 meters.
Q: What type of battery does the JA-150M use, and how long does it last?
A long-lasting lithium battery (often a CR123A or comparable) powers the detector.
Q: How will I know when the battery needs to be replaced?
When the battery is low, the JABLOTRON control panel will alert you. To ensure dependable performance, always replace it as soon as possible.
Q: Can I install more than one magnetic detector on a single window or door?
Yes, you can install more than one detector for large or double doors if necessary.
