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 Stored Joules will be displayed every approximately 4–5 seconds. The reading will vary depending on the load on the fence.
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.
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.
4.6 4-Line LCD Keypad (PTE0240) Introduction The JVA 4-Line LCD Keypad is an integral component in the JVA Security Electric Fence product range. Providing a centralised interface between the Customer and their Perimeter Security Solution; it displays the current condition of each security device connected and can draw attention to adverse fence conditions.

Once the cover has been removed from the base plastic, the keypad hardware will slide up to release it from the base. Installation The Keypad only requires three wire connections to JVA Energizers or Monitors. This is the +12V, GND and DATA connections on the back of the Keypad circuit board.
Page 14
When connecting a Group of Energizers together, the +12V wire is only required between the Keypad and Energizer. The other Energizers are connected together using the GND and DAT terminals only. Keypad terminals on a JVA Single Zone Energizer Keypad Operation Note: Z-Series Energizers/Monitors have the following Default PINs...
Page 15
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS The Keypad needs to discover all of the Energizers/Monitors connected to the Keypad for it to work properly. This is best achieved after each Energizer/Monitor has been configured and wired together in a group. The display will show “Analysing” followed by the device type connected at each zone. NOTE: All Energizers/Monitors need to be Disarmed before starting the Discovery process.
Page 16
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS The keypad will automatically display a new Zone Alarm or Trouble and it will remain on this page for 3 minutes. Pressing # again will advance the screen. If the Keypad beeper is sounding, any key press will silence it.

JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS Menu Function (when # key is pressed) Show Shortcuts Displays commonly used Key Sequences for reference Remember User This will ‘save’ the USER PIN entered. From now on, the Quick Arm/ PIN / Disarm buttons will not require a PIN to operate. Pressing Menu button immediately enter the Menu system as well.

JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS Event Log The Event log contains information about Alarms, Log Entry: Troubles and Arm/Disarm commands. Each event is 14:35 13/02/15 displayed on a separate page. Press the Up or Down Zone 1 key to change pages. Press # to exit the Log. The most Fence Alarm recent entry is displayed when the log is first opened.

JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS Program Device Requirements for Menu Driven Programming For this system to work effectively, all connected Energizers/Monitors need to be Mk2 protocol compliant. This version is usually found in the Black Plastic box, rather than a Silver Plastic box. Procedure The Keypad takes around 10 seconds to enter Menu Driven Programming mode.

JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS Changing the Keypad Number options (Arrow Keys) The Keypad BAUD and Keypad ID options can be changed using the Up/Down Arrow Keys. Press # when the correct value has been selected. Pressing the * key will discard any changes and the display will show the previous option.
4.10 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.
Control Input. 4.14.3 Keyswitch Inputs By default one keyswitch is used to arm and disarm both zones. The Z28 can be configured for two keyswitches to arm and disarm individual zones. 4.15 Group Simultaneous Pulse Feature All JVA Z Range models may be linked to form a group to power multiple zones. See...
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 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 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. The on and off timing is able to be set in the options. The Strobe will remain on. After a further delay (Auto Rearm Time) the siren will again respond to the next alarm condition with a new set of on / off cycles.

JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS Group linking via the Keypad “bus” The keypad terminals on all Energizers in the group are linked, see Figure 17. Since only one Energizer needs to power the keypad, 3 wires are linked from one Energizer (preferably the Master) to the keypad (optional) and 2 wires to every other Energizer in the group.
Page 35
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 4. As of energizer firmware 7v83 and keypad firmware 1v09, Z28’s should have an ‘empty’ ID between each Energizer. This means if the Z28 master ID=1, then the ID of the first slave should be 3, not 2. 5. When connected to Perimeter Patrol, the arm/disarm function of a keypad is disabled. Control of these functions is through the Perimeter Patrol interface. 6. A Keypad that is connected to a Slave Energizer (that is disconnected from the Group) must have a KEYPAD ADDRESS set to 1 or 8.
JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 9. 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.
10. 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.) 10.3 Warning Signs NOTE: Regulation warning signs are available from all JVA Electric Fence centres and all JVA certified dealers. 10.3.1 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 10.6 Protection 10.6.1 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. 10.6.2 Protection from weather shall be Power line...
