  • Page 36: Power Options

    JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 7.2 Power Options The Z-Series of security energizers have 2 sources of power, 16Vac and 12VDC (Battery). The energizers cannot operate without a battery. Under no circumstances should a Z-Series security energizer rely on the keypad bus for power.

  • Page 37: Jumpers

    JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS continues to fall, the energizer will eventually stop. Once mains power has been restored and the battery has recovered, the energizer will re-arm itself automatically after 4 warning beeps. A tamper or a PCB fault will disarm the Energizer. If an error disarms the Energizer, the General Alarm and Fence Alarm will be activated.

  • Page 38: Multiple Keypads

    JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 7.8 Multiple Keypads All Z-Series energizers have support for up to three keypads provided the Energizers firmware version is 7v66 and above. If more than one keypad is desired the second and subsequent keypads will need to have ID’s set to 4 to 7. The first keypad can be left at the default ID 1. ID 2 and 3 should not be used. ID 2 is reserved for a PC running Perimeter Patrol.

    JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 8. SECTOR SETUP TESTS AND ADJUSTMENT 8.1 Introduction With a Single Zone 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.

  • Page 40: Fault Condition Tests

    JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS 8.3 Fault Condition Tests 1. To simulate a break, disconnect a joint(s) in the live wires at some convenient point on the fence, making sure that the wires do not short to ground or between +ve and -ve wires. 2. Check that the energizer fence alarm activates. If not check the voltage (using an electric fence voltmeter) at the inputs to the monitor.

    30m along the fence line in urban areas. • Insert the earth stakes at least 2m away from any mains earth electrodes. • Do not attach your earth wires to any electrodes connected to a mains supply. • Avoid running an electric fence parallel to or under mains power or telephone lines. • When in doubt check with your local authority. • For any further information regarding the legalities and safety requirements for electric fencing in your area, contact your local JVA agent or supplier.

  • Page 42: Appendix A: Group Simultaneous Pulse Feature

    JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS APPENDIX A: Group Simultaneous Pulse Feature Group Simultaneous Pulse Feature In some Industrial Installations it may be preferable to provide the ability to link multiple Energizers into a group. When linked the individual Z-Series Energizers become a “Group”. Members of a group have simultaneous high voltage output pulses and act as is they are one energizer with multiple outputs.
  • Page 43 JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS For all Energizers that will be part of a group, the procedure is as follows: 1. Make sure the key switch is turned off and IN1 isn’t shorted (note that the Z14R does not have a key switch). Connect the battery. On the keypad, enter [Installer’s code] [*] [0] [#].
  • Page 44 JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS Notes: Members of a group can be individually switched on and off; even the master can be turned off via input or key switch (note that the Z14R does not have a key switch). For Arming and Disarming INDIVIDUAL Zones, refer to page 21. A slave will generate a General alarm if the keypad bus is broken between it and the group master. After programming the Keypad may be disconnected, it is not required for group operation.
  • Page 45 JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS Perimeter Patrol Software The JVA Perimeter Patrol software package enables one or more energizers to be monitored and controlled from a PC. This package can be used for a standalone system where the owner is interested in a visual representation of an electrified enclosure (mimic screen) and the ease of operation that a Windows compatible GUI application can provide.
  • Page 46 JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS Group Mode Limitations Using Category 5 Cable: • For best results, the Master should be connected closest to the control/monitoring unit (Keypad, computer or LCD display). Note that the keypad can only tolerate 4.5 Ohm resistance on the GND wire from the Master to be able to control more than 15 Energizers in the system. When using CAT 5 cable, 2 or more wires can be shorted together to reduce the cable resistance.

  • Page 47: Appendix B: Pulse Synchronization

    JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS APPENDIX B: Pulse Synchronization Introduction The synchronization of electric fence energizers powering zones of a multi-zone security electric fence is a safety requirement to prevent anyone (personnel or intruders) from receiving a potentially lethal shock. The danger arises when multiple zones powered by different energizers intersect which is often the case in security installations.
  • Page 48 JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS JVA ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS Section 5.2 and 5.3 of ASNZS3014 states that: 5.2 Use of one energizer An electric fence shall not be supplied from two separate independently timed energizers or from independently timed fence circuits of the same energizer.
