Socket Plus (type G)

Socket Plus (type G) has arc fault protection that the standard Socket (type G) model does not have. All other parameters and features of sockets are similar.

An electric arc is a prolonged electric discharge between two conductors with high current density and low voltage.

It occurs when conductor insulation is damaged. For example, in an extension cord with a broken cable. The arc can damage the device connected to the smart plug or the plug itself and cause a fire.

Protection is activated immediately if an arc or sparking occurs in the device connected to the plug.

1. Open the Ajax app.
2. Select the hub if you have several of them or using a PRO app.
3. Go to the Devices  menu.
4. Select a smart plug from the list.
5. Go to the plug settings by clicking on the gear icon .
6. In the Indication field, select the desired option:
   • Off — the backlight is off.
   • When Socket Enabled — the backlight is active when an electrical appliance is connected to the plug.
   • Always — the backlight is always active.

A user with administrator rights or a PRO with system configuration rights can change the settings of a smart plug.

The identifier (ID) is the serial number of the device. It is located under the QR code on the body, board, and packaging of the device.

ID at the bottom of the box

ID under the lid

The ID can also be found in the device states in the Ajax app.

1. Sign in to the Ajax app.
2. Select the required hub from the list if you have several of them or if you are using a PRO app.
3. Go to the Devices menu.
4. Select a device from the list. Device ID information is located at the bottom of the status screen.

Three versions of Socket are available:

• With UK plug: Socket (type G) and Socket Plus (type G)
• With EU plug: Socket (type F).

With OS Malevich 2.9 update, permanent deactivation of devices without removing them from the system has become available.

Deactivation may be necessary if the device is incorrectly installed or configured, loses connection with the hub, or has failed.

To deactivate a device, in the Ajax app:

• Select a hub if you have several of them or if you are using the PRO app.
• Go to the Devices menu.
• Select the device from the list.
• Go to its Settings .
• Select the type of permanent deactivation:
  • Entirely — the device does not execute system commands or run automation scenarios, and the system ignores device alarms and other notifications.
  • Lid only — the system ignores the notifications on the detector’s tamper button triggering.

By default, the hub is set to a hub–detector ping interval of 36 seconds and 30 undeliverable data packets to consider the device lost. With these settings, the hub will detect the loss of the detector in 18 minutes.

To reduce this time, go to the hub settings in the Jeweller section and change the settings. The minimum time for detecting loss of connection with the device is 36 seconds (3 polls of 12 seconds each).

The time before raising the alarm by the communication loss between hub and device is calculated with the following formula:

Detector Ping Interval × Number of missed pings to determine connection failure

Note that with the minimum ping interval, short-term interference can lead to loss of connection with the device. Therefore, set the minimum values only if it is critically important to promptly inform about events in the system.

The loop (zone) number is required to describe all devices connected to the hub when adding a protected facility to the security company monitoring station.

The number is assigned when adding a device to the hub. The first added device has the first loop (zone) number. After removing the device from the system, its number becomes available. This number can be assigned to the next device to be added to the system.

The loop (zone) number is available in the states of each device in the Ajax app:

The firmware version can be found in the device states in the Ajax app.

1. Sign in to the Ajax app.
2. Select the required hub from the list if you have several of them or if you are using a PRO app.
3. Go to the Devices menu.
4. Select a device from the list. The firmware version information is located on the status screen at the bottom.

Go to the Devices tab , select the device you want to check.
