QUICK START GUIDE (ST097) This quick start guide contains the bare minimum information to get your ZLM1 up and running with useful links to the more in depth information contained in this document. DEFAULT INPUT OUTPUT CONFIGURATION Figure 1 below shows the inputs and outputs for the ZLM1 low voltage monitor.
WIRING UP YOUR ZLM1 This is covered under “10 Wiring Diagrams” on page 34. After the ZLM1 has been wired up you can begin to protect your perimeter. JUMPERS Jumpers quickly allow you to turn on and off different features, or reset the device to defaults.
FREQUENTLY USED LCD KEYPAD COMMANDS For a full list of all keypad commands please see “8.6.9 ZLM1 Relevant Key- pad Codes” on page 28. NOTE: The default user PIN is 1234, and the default installer PIN is 012345. Function Key Sequence...
The ZLM1 is compatible with the JVA Z series of energisers. It may be connected via a keypad bus network with other Z series devices to enable the whole group to be con- trolled via one keypad, or linked to a PC running Perimeter Patrol or Cloud Router.

This is done by adjusting the devices programmable options. The ZLM1 will report an alarm on seeing a low voltage loop cut (open circuit), shorted to ground (short) or when high voltage from an electric fence energiser wire is shorted to the monitored low voltage loop.
• Enables the construction of systems from economical Key switch op- eration to complex PC controlled applications • Runs from 12V DC external source • Fence connections are fully isolated from power and IO as per relevant parts of IEC60335.2.76 JVA ZLM1 Manual Page 13...
• The maximum series resistance of the fence wire loop which can be accurately monitored is 5000 Ohms • Since the ZLM1 is a relatively new addition to the JVA Z series, older versions of TCP/IP adaptors, GPIO, Wi-Fi and GSM gateways may not be compatible with it.
SPECIFICATIONS The specifications table below outlines the power consumption of the ZLM1 and the acceptable voltage and current ranges for different inputs and outputs. Nominal input voltage 14.2Vdc Power consumption of ZLM1 (Note 63mA at 12.5 Vdc Maximum voltage on “In1” input...

5V switched output, so long as the driving circuit actively pulls down to ground when off. NOTE 3: This is the maximum rating of the energiser if the ZLM1 is used on the same fence as a high voltage electric fence energiser. Beyond this rating the ZLM1 loop circuit protection MOV’s may fail if high voltage wires...
1. While the Keypad is not essential for normal operation, it is required to adjust the programmable options. 2. Up to 3 Keypads may be connected in parallel on a ZLM1, each Keypad must have a unique keypad address. For more information please see www.jva-fence.com.au...
DESCRIPTION FRONT PANEL STATUS LIGHTS The status LED’s on the front of the ZLM1 allow the user to quickly ascer- tain the current status of the unit and if any action needs to be taken. Be- low is a brief description of each LED and the information it conveys.
FRONT PANEL LCD DISPLAY The detachable 16 character, two-line display of the ZLM1 clearly shows the status of the fence it is connected to at a glance. If you have an LCD keypad attached you can press the # key to freeze the current displayed information.
KEYPAD (OPTIONAL) A keypad (either 4 Line, Touch or LCD) can be used to remotely monitor and control the ZLM1. It is also used to set the programmable options. For more on programming the device see “11.2 Programming Options” on page 40.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION Although the ZLM1 contains internal lightning protection elements, ex- ternal lightning protection systems such as additional external lightning protection kits are recommended to further reduce lightning damage and thus reduce repair costs. Ask your installer for Lightning protection for...
If an installation contains two ways to control the ZLM1, then the most re- cent control signal will determine the Armed/Disarmed state. For example if the ZLM1 is armed via the keypad and then disarmed at the control input (IN1) it will disarm.
Z-Series energisers as well as other JVA equipment. Ask yout JVA installer for a demonstration of Cloud Router or visit www.cloudrouter. pakton.net WEB SERVER Another alternative to remotely controlling JVA Z-Series energisers is to use the PAE225 Webserver. When suitable configured this allows the ener- giser to be controlled and monitored via a web browser from any internet connected device anywhere in the world.
• If there is a fault on the fence and it cannot achieve full voltage, the LCD screen will indicate that there is a fault. • To disarm the system, enter your PIN and press #. JVA ZLM1 Manual Page 25...
A high voltage wire shorts to a low voltage wire (HV Short) Note: If the ZLM1 is monitoring a fence that has a disarmed energiser on it, a ground alarm will occur when one of the HV wires touches a LV wire. This is because the ZLM1 pulse will ground through the energisers transformer.
• Enter your new PIN (must be 4 digits) and then #. (Repeat to confirm PIN.) • Press *# to exit User Programming mode. • Make sure your new PIN works by using it to arm the energiser or mon- itor. JVA ZLM1 Manual Page 27...
16. Test that a short on the fence puts the ZLM1 into alarm and shows a short alarm on the keypad. 17. Test that a cut on the fence puts the ZLM1 into alarm and shows a cut alarm on the keypad.
JUMPER CONFIGURATION The ZLM1 is equipped with four jumpers, the first (J2) is used to provide 12V to the relay. J3 and J4 operate in an identical fashion to those on the Z14. The third jumper, J8 will suppress the beeper on the ZLM1 when fitted.
The unit is protected from over cur- rent by a 0.2A self resetting fuse. Relay 1 3 Way May be set to any of 16 alarm conditions. De- faults to zone 1 alarm. Dry contact or 12V JVA ZLM1 Manual Page 33...

10.2 LOW VOLTAGE ZONING SYSTEM A ZLM1 can be combined with JVA Z series energisers which provide the main deterrence. The ZLM1 provides fence monitoring by using extremely low voltage pulses on the unused wires on a fence. Below shows how the fence might be configured for monitoring.
• Set the Group ID of the Z18 to Master (2601#) • Set the Group ID of the ZLM1 to Slave 1 (2602#) The Group ID of the ZLM1 must be 1 value higher than the Group ID of the Z-Series Energiser driving it...

NOTE: The detachable LCD screen must be connected upon power up or reset to display messages. The ZLM1 has the ability to display error messages. At start up if any of the Power On Self Tests (POST) fail an error message will be displayed after the version number.
The Ener- giser LCD will immediately show the updated value. As the keypad bus is common to a group of Z-Series Energisers and ZLM1 units, one keypad could be used to program all connected units at the same time.

Option as required before linking the Keypad bus into a group. The ZLM1 should only be a group master if there are no Z energisers in the group. I.e. the group is made up of one or more ZLM1 units only.
