JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 4. DESCRIPTION The Z28 is a dual channel standard (non Bi-Polar) 8 Joule (4 per channel) security energizer. This manual relates to: ● PCB versions: 7.51 and higher ● Firmware versions: 7.50 or higher (the firmware version is shown on the LCD on reset) 9.2 9.0...
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 4.3 LCD Voltage Display The display on the JVA Z28 shows the voltage at the feed out and return terminals. Left side = Return zone 1, Right side = Return zone 2. The LCD also shows the programming option and current setting when in programming mode.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 4.4 Status Lights Left side Z28 Armed 1 On when Zone 1 of the energizer is armed (pulsing), will flash when in low power mode. Fence 1 Flashes if the return voltage falls below the Fence Alarm Voltage, stays on when there is a Zone 1 fence alarm.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 4.6 Keypad (Optional) Up to three keypads can be used to remotely monitor and control the Z28. A keypad is required to set the programmable options. See section 8.5. The keypad will display the fence voltages, alarms and statuses.
4.11 Earth Loop Monitoring The Z28 has two fence earth terminals which when wired into a series looped fence system enable the energizer to monitor the earth circuit. In this configuration, only one earth spike location must be used. If this is not required the installer can loop the two earth terminals at the energizer and then connect the earth spikes to one of the parallel earth terminals.
It is also used to determine what Power Mode to start in when the energizer is Armed using a Control Input. 4.16 Group Simultaneous Pulse Feature All JVA Z Range models may be linked to form a group to power multiple zones. See Group Mode, page ??.
Read the entire manual first! Design and build the fence. (Beyond the scope of this manual.) Decide where the JVA Z28 is to be mounted. If on an external wall it should be housed within a waterproof equipment box and definitely not in direct sunlight.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 6. OPERATION 6.1 Arm/Disarm Control The unit can be controlled by the keyswitch, control input 1 or via a keypad. The keypad also allows instant audiovisual indication of the state of the energizer and therefore the fence it is powering.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS An alarm will also sound if input 2 is assigned to the “gate input” function and the gate input is opened and the entry/exit delay time has elapsed. After the siren has cycled on and off according to the times and numbers set in options, the siren will stop sounding.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 7. LCD KEYPAD OPERATION 7.1 Arming/Disarming the Fence Using the Keypad Enter your USER PIN (Personal Identification Number: four digits long) and push the # key. Make sure the red ARM light comes on and the keypad beeps twice to confirm that the system is armed.

JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 8. TECHNICAL INFORMATION Figure 6: Low Voltage Terminals Label Type Description Keypad 3 Way Supplies power and data line for an external keypad. The +12 source on these terminals is protected with a 1A self- resetting fuse.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 8.1 Power Options The unit has 2 sources of power, 16VAC and 12VDC (Battery). NOTE: Use only rechargeable batteries. Always ensure adequate ventilation is available for the housing if it contains a battery. Lead acid batteries may emit explosive gases while charging! Always make sure that a battery is connected to the energizer before applying 16 VAC.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 8.4 Multiple Keypads All Z series energisers have support for up to two keypads provided the Energisers firmware version is 7v66 and above. If more than one keypad is desired one of the keypads must have an ID of 2, the other keypad can have an ID number from 1 to 8 but excluding ID 2.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 9. INSTALLATION PROGRAMMING OPTIONS The unit has a non-volatile memory in which programming options (setup parameters) are held. These are factory pre-set but can be field programmed using a keypad. 9.1 Programming Mode To enter Programming mode, enter the 6-digit INSTALLER PIN followed by *0# keys.

JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 9.6 Programming Options in Detail Note: The bold panel in each table indicates 9.6.1 Power Level (01x#) the default value. The power level option allows the shocking Value (x) Voltage power of the fence to be adjusted. For example: To change the power level to 5.0kV...
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 9.6.4 Fence Alarm Voltage Zone 2 (04x#) Value (x) Voltage This option sets the voltage threshold 1.5kV below which the fence alarm will occur. The 2.0kV default Fence Alarm Voltage is 4 kV. 2.5kV 3.0kV 9.6.5 Low Power Alarm Level (05x#) 3.5kV...
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 9.6.8 Siren On Time (08x#) Value Time This option sets the duration of time that the siren 10 Seconds will remain on after a fence alarm occurs. After 30 Seconds this time the siren will turn off for the Off time 1 Minute indicated in Table 8.6.9.
Input Inversion (11x#) 9.6.12 Input 2 and 3 Functions (12x#) Value Function For the Z28, this option is used to set the In 2 Gate 1 function of Input 2 and 3. In 3 Gate 2 If set to 0, Input 2 is Gate 1 and Input 3 In 2 Gate 1 is Gate 2.
Do not send Alarm version 7.80. memory +4: Limits outputs to 2.5 Joules per Zone on a Z28. Added in code version 7.84. Binary Options (16x#) Also limits a Z14 to 2.5J per zone in group mode. Added 7.86. +8: Enables the IR tamper detection under the lid. J3 changes function to inhibit tamper.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 9.6.16 Anti-bridging threshold (17x#) Anti-bridging has been designed to detect a section of fence being bypassed, and removed from circuit, by an intruder bridging the feed to returns together and then cutting the live wires. Setting this option to a value greater than 0 (default is 0 = off)
Time between 1 and 9 will alter the function of Zone 1 0 Disabled in a Z28. This Zone will now operate as an Entry/ Exit delay circuit. It should only be wired to the 30 Seconds Site Entry/Exit Gate and the Zone must short to...
All relays can be set to any of the available functions (user assignable). Relay 1 is (21x#) Relay 2 is (22x#) etc. The modes are explained in the table below. The defaults for the Z28: Relay 1 Strobe 1 Relay 2 Strobe 2 Relay 3 Siren.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 9.6.21 Relay Function Details Function Logic for alarm state (opposite of normal state) Zone x Zone x is on AND the fence voltage has fallen below the programmed fence alarm voltage for more pulses than the missed count setting. Not latched.

JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS NOTE 2: If more than one keypad is used, they will need different addresses. NOTE 3: If Perimeter Patrol is used, any keypad in the system should not have address 2, (see 7.3 ??? Changing the Keypad Messages and Address).

3. After programming the Keypad may be disconnected, it is not required for group operation. 4. As of energiser firmware 7v83 and keypad firmware 1v09, Z28’s should have an ‘empty’ ID between each Energiser. This means if the Z28 master ID=1, then the ID of the first slave should be 3, not 2.

JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 10. SECTOR SETUP TESTS AND ADJUSTMENT With a single sector system there are three considerations for the electric fence monitor voltage level: 1. The monitor should trigger the alarm if one of the live wires is shorted to ground.
11. SOME STANDARD REqUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC SECURITY FENCES The JVA range of energizers has been extensively tested and certified in accordance with international standards. JVA does not take responsibility for the erection standards of the fence. It is the responsibility of the erector to consult and comply with the Standards and Codes of Practice for the installation and erection of electric security fences.
* NB. (Fence HT leads must under no circumstances be routed in the same conduit as any other wiring.) 11.3 Warning Signs NOTE: Regulation warning signs are available from all JVA Electric Fence centres and all JVA certified dealers. 11.3.1 Electric security fences shall be identified by prominently placed warning signs that shall be legible from the secure area and from the public area.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 11.6 Protection 11.6.1 All ancillary equipment connected to the fence circuit shall be designed to provide a degree of isolation between a fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that specified for the energizer. 11.6.2 Protection from weather shall be...
