JABLOTRON JA-180W Wireless Combined PIR Detector
Introduction
The JA-180W is a component of the JABLOTRON alarm system. The detector guards like a usual PIR detector.
Installation
The detector can be mounted on a wall or in a corner of a room. There should be no obstacles blocking the detector’s “view” of the protected area. Keep the detector away from metal objects, which could interfere with radio communication and the MW field.
- Description of internal parts of the product: 1 – DIP-switch; 2 – MW part connector; 3 – PCB tab; 4 – tamper-switch; 5 – PIR sensor; 6 – front cover tab; 7 – MW sensitivity setting; 8 – MW detector
- Open the detector cover by pressing the tab (6). Avoid touching the internal PIR element (5) – otherwise it can be damaged.
- Remove the PCB, which is held by a PCB tab (3). Leave the MW connector (2) of the MW part.
- Punch screw holes through the rear plastic cover. Screw the rear cover to the wall. At least one screw should penetrate the tamper-sensitive section.
- Put the PCB back till the tab (3) clicks. Insert a battery (mind the correct polarity) and follow the instructions below. After installing a low battery in the detector, the LED is lit for 1 minute.
- Close the detector cover till the tab (6) clicks. To comply with EN 50131-2-4, the tab (6) must be secured by the supplied screw.
Setting the DIP switch
- Switch no. 2: PIR NORM / HIGH: selection of immunity to false alarms.
- The OFF (NORM) position combines very good immunity with fast sensor reactions.
- Switch no. 3: MW NORM / HIGH sets the time period after PIR detection in which the MW detection is active.
- Switch no. 4: MW NORM / TEST. The position OFF is for the standard function of the detector.
- The MW detection is triggered by the PIR detection part for one or two seconds according to switch no. 3. The position ON – MW detection works continuously for testing purposes (walk test).
Testing the detector
15 minutes after closing the detector cover, the LED indicators show detector activation. A short flash of the red LED indicates PIR detection, and a long flash (2 sec) indicates MW confirmation of the movement. The MW detector reaction span is from 1 m to 15 m. In some cases, the detector can detect movement outside the room when obstacles are not metal (such as a thin wall, door, glass, flowing water in plastic pipes, etc.).
Generally, the MW detection field should be the same as the PIR detection one. For setting up, switch the fourth DIP switch to the TEST position. The RF range of the MW part is adjustable by the trimmer (7).

FAQs
Q: What is the JABLOTRON JA-180W detector used for?
Ans: The JA-180W is a wireless dual-technology motion detector that minimises false alarms by detecting human movement using a combination of microwave and passive infrared (PIR) sensors.
Q: Why does this detector use both PIR and microwave technology?
Ans: The combination improves the accuracy of detection. The microwave sensor verifies the movement after the PIR detects changes in body temperature, minimising the possibility of false alarms from small items, pets, or air drafts.
Q: What is the coverage area of the JA-180W?
Ans: Depending on the surroundings and installation height, the detector may normally detect objects up to 12 meters away at a detection angle of 110°.
Q: Is this detector suitable for rooms with temperature fluctuations or air conditioning?
Ans: Indeed. It is perfect for difficult settings, such as rooms with ceiling fans, air vents, or changing temperatures, because of its dual-technology architecture.
Q: How is the JA-180W powered?
Ans: It runs on a lithium battery (CR123A) and can last up to three years, depending on how often it sends messages and detects motion.
Q: How do I enroll the JA-180W into my Jablotron security system?
Ans: After entering enrolment mode via the control panel or MyJABLOTRON app, put the battery into the detector and link it by following the instructions.
