The ZM1 is designed to be coupled with any standard electric fence ener- gizer (see 2.1Limitations below) to power and monitor an electric fence. As it can control very large energizers it is anticipated that the ZM1 will find application on large fences for game reserves and border security. The ZM1 uses Patent, DFD™...
1. While the Keypad is not essential for normal operation, it is always re- quired for programming options during installation. 2. Up to 3 Keypads may be used with a ZM1, each Keypad must have a unique ID setting. For more information on these options please see www.jva-fence.com.au...
• Siren and strobe switched 12V DC outputs • 3 on-board relays with many programmable functions. LIMITATIONS • An energizer used with the ZM1 must comply with IEC60335.2.76 (or similar)safety standard. • The ZM1 supports conventional wiring only (not Bi-Polar), although 2 units could be used to monitor a Bi-Polar fence.

• A ZM1 cannot be used in a group of Z-Series Energisers or ZM1s (Code Versions 1.00 - 1.58). Version 1.59 removed this limitation. JVA ZM1 Manual Page 7...
CONTROL INPUTS The ZM1 may have a single Key switch mounted on the right hand side of the cabinet which may be used to arm and disarm the security electric fence to which it is connected. This switch is useful for the simplest imple- mentations where no keypad or PC control program is used.
The LCD display will change to display the Feed and Ground volt- ages. If there is a fence fault the ZM1 will go into alarm, the internal beeper will sound (if it has not been inhibited) and any siren and strobe connected to the ZM1 will be turned on.
• Enter your new User PIN (must be 4 digits) and then #. • Press *# to exit User Programming mode. • Make sure your new User PIN works by using it to arm the ZM1. 3.4.4 SUMMARY OF LCD KEYPAD FUNCTIONS...

INSTALLATION EHT TERMINALS ON THE ZM1 Description of high voltage terminals (left to right) EHT In Connect the high voltage output of the energizer to this ter- minal to allow fence current to be measured. Feed Connect the start of the fence to this terminal. Voltage at Feed will be the same voltage as EHT In.
FENCE WIRING DIAGRAMS There are a number of ways the fence wires can be connected to a ZM1. The following diagrams will outline different ways in which the ground cir- cuit can be configured and what the benefits of each are.
The set up pictured below will detect if the ground wire has been cut. Con- nect the Ground Reference input to the energizer Earth, and the Ground input to the other end of the earth fence loop. High Powered Energiser Conventional Fence Energiser Earth JVA ZM1 Manual Page 19...
5.2.3 EARTH STAKE MONITORING This setup will check how well the energizer is earthed. Connect the Ground, Reference input of the ZM1 to the mains earth, or the cabinet earth. This Ground Reference must be more than 10m away from the Energizer Earth.
This setup will monitor only the fence feed and return voltages and fence current. Connect the Ground Reference and Ground inputs to each other with a short piece of wire. High Powered Energiser Conventional Fence Energiser Earth JVA ZM1 Manual Page 21...
The receiver may be powered from the keypad+12V terminal. GATE 2 Way ZM1 Gate Input, when the unit is armed and the gate is opened, it will trigger the gate alarm. KEYPAD 3 Way Supplies power and data line for an external keypad.

LOW VOLTAGE WIRING DIAGRAMS 5.4.1 16VAC 2AMP POWER SUPPLY The ZM1 can be used to power an external high powered energizer. A 16Vac 2Amp power supply is able to power a B8 or B12 (or equivalent) en- ergizer as well as the ZM1 and keep the backup battery charged.
The ZM1 can control an external relay box designed to switch 110Vac or 240Vac powered energizers. The relay box needs to accept switching volt- ages of up to 13.8 volts. WARNING: DO NOT use relay 3, 4 or 5 on the ZM1 to switch mains voltage. + BATT - 12v SLA...

Larger 12Vdc energizers will need to utilise an external 12 volt power sup- ply. To power the ZM1 from the external battery and charger, ensure Jumper J6 is placed on the 12V regulated pins. Do not connect a 16Vac supply to the ZM1.
Default Installer PIN is 012345. PROGRAMMING BASICS Some of the programming options on the ZM1 are different to those on the Z series of security energizers, but the basic functions remain the same. 6.1.1 ENTERING PROGRAMMING MODE To enter programming mode, enter the 6 digit installer PIN followed by *0# keys.
The number of times the siren will sound for the time set in On Time above. After this many cycles the siren will automatically mute. Input type Allows the ZM1 inputs to be changed from normally open to normally closed. Gate Input Gate switch only for now.
For example to set a threshold of 5A enter: 0 2 0 5 # The default level is 10A. Value (x) Alarm Level Minimum 0 Amps 10 Amps Maximum 75 Amps Current Alarm Level (02x#) 6.3.3 GROUND VOLTAGE ALARM LEVEL (03X#) JVA ZM1 Manual Page 33...
General alarm, see below. Note: The ZM1 will not turn the energizer off when the battery voltage is low. But if the supply voltage falls too low the relay powering the external energizer will eventually drop out.
The control inputs can be inverted unless an input is used for a Gate switch, in which case it is always NC. Value (x) Input type NO Normally open NC Normally closed Input Type (11x#) JVA ZM1 Manual Page 37...
+1: Enable DFD™ (Distant Fault Detection). Firmware V1.40 and later, PCB V1.10 and later. +2: Set if using a ZM1 in a group where the energiser is not a Z series ener- giser. This tells the ZM1 that the energiser may not be synchronised .
6.3.17 RELAY FUNCTIONS All relays can be set to any of the available functions (user assignable). Relay 1 is (21x#) Relay 2 is (22x#), etc Defaults for the ZM1: • Relay 1 – Siren (2108#) JVA ZM1 Manual Page 41...
Connect the keypad to each Energiser/ZM1 in turn, programming each Op- tion as required before linking the Keypad bus into a group. As of code version 1.59+ the ZM1 can now be a group master in limited circumstances. Groups can now be made up of: ZM1’s (driven by MB8 or similar energisers) or Z series energisers and ZM1’s...

If one or more ZM1’s are connected via a TCP/IP board to a PC then the TCP/IP board will be the master. If any ZM1 in a group is coupled to a non Z series energisers all slave ZM1’s must have Option 16 set to 2.
