DoorProtect Plus Opening Shock Tilt Detector Ajax model 8EU, black

Ajax DoorProtect Plus Opening Shock Tilt Detector model 8EU in black is a compact multi-function sensor designed to monitor doors and windows. The device combines magnetic opening detection with shock and tilt sensing to detect forced entry attempts, impacts, or unauthorized removal. Intended for integration with Ajax security systems, DoorProtect Plus communicates events to the control panel so alerts and automations can be triggered without delay.

Advantages

The detector provides three detection modes in a single compact housing: contact (open/close), shock (vibration/impact) and tilt (angle change). Its small black enclosure allows discreet installation on frames and sashes. Low power consumption ensures long battery life in wireless installations, and compatibility with the Ajax ecosystem enables centralized monitoring and event logging. Sensitivity settings can be adjusted through the system to reduce false alarms while preserving reliable detection of real tampering or forced entry.

Suitable for

• Monitoring entrance and exit doors in apartments and houses
• Securing windows and balcony doors against forced opening
• Protecting small business premises, offices and storage rooms
• Detecting attempts to remove or tilt mounted doors and panels

Key specifications

• Detection modes: opening (magnetic contact), shock (vibration/impact), tilt (angle change)
• Form factor: compact surface-mounted sensor in black
• Power: battery-operated with low consumption for extended service life
• Communication: wireless integration with Ajax security systems
• Adjustable sensitivity levels for shock and tilt detection
• Operating environment: suitable for indoor installation on doors and windows

How to use

Mount the DoorProtect Plus sensor on the door or window frame and align the magnet element on the moving sash according to the manufacturer’s installation recommendations. Pair the detector with the Ajax hub following system instructions to enable event reporting. Configure detection modes and sensitivity inside the Ajax app or control panel to match the environment: set lower shock sensitivity in areas with frequent vibration and increase tilt sensitivity where removal attempts are more likely. Regularly check device status in the system and replace batteries when indicated.

Recommendations

Install the sensor on clean, dry surfaces and ensure correct alignment of the magnet element for reliable opening detection. Adjust sensitivity to balance false alarm reduction and detection reliability. Place the device where impacts or tampering would directly affect the sensor, and periodically verify wireless signal strength and battery level within the Ajax system.
