High voltage may remain on some internal parts long after the unit has been switched off. 1.3 Power Supply Options The JVA MB series of electric fence energizers can be powered from a range of power sources. • 12 or 24V external battery (not supplied) •... -
Page 7: Important Notes
1.3.1 I MPORTANT OTES • Always ensure adequate ventilation is given to the external 12 volt battery. Lead Acid batteries may emit explosive gases while charging! • Always mount the power supply either indoors or undercover. 1.4 Auto-SyncTM Auto-Sync is a new method of synchronising electric fence energizers patented by Pakton Developments Pty Ltd. -

3.1 Fence Connectors Earth Low Power High Power Terminal Terminal Terminal Fence Connections Full Voltage Operation 1. The Green Earth Terminal (Right) should be connected to suitable electric fence earth spikes. 2. The Red Fence Terminal (Left) should be connected to the live wires of the fence. -
Page 13: Energizer Led And Lcd Display
3.2 Energizer LED and LCD Display This feature is included on all units. Status red LED – This LED has multiple functions. These are listed below. • Flashes slowly (once per pulse) when the load exceeds an acceptable level indicating that the fence probably has a fault. Operating in the overloaded condition for extended periods of time will NOT harm the energizer. -
Page 14: Installation
4 Installation 4.1 Mounting the energizer If possible keep the energizer in a cool and dry environment (either indoors or at least well covered) to maximise reliability. When mounting it there are a number of options. To deter any water ingress, keep the energizer upright when located outdoors. -
Page 15: Operation
The fence and the earth voltages can be measured using an electric fence digital voltmeter or digital electric fence directional fault finder (the JVA Electric Fence Fault Finder). -
Page 16: Benefits Of Electric Fences
5.2 Benefits of Electric Fences • An electric fence offers a psychological barrier as well as a physical barrier. • The risk of injury to livestock is lower than with barbed wire fences. • Electric fences cost less to install and maintain than conventional fencing. -
Page 17: Fence Return System
5.4 Fence Return System The Fence Return configuration for electric fences is used where the soil could be too dry to complete the circuit, or the animals are likely to try to force their way through between the fence wires. In this system earth wire(s) are also run along the fence with the live wire(s) to provide a low resistance path for the current to return to the energizer. -
Page 18: Bi-Polar System
5.5 Bi-Polar System A Bi-Polar fence is a combination of both the earth return system and the fence return system. The benefits are that 1) If either the positive OR negative fence wires are loaded with a fault and have a low voltage, the other wire will not be affected by the fault and still have good voltage on it. -
Page 19: The Importance Of Insulators
1. Check the fence voltage using an electric fence volt meter. The JVA fault finder will also detect faults and direct you towards them. 2. Keep vegetation away from the fence. If it touches the fence it will reduce its performance. -
Page 20: Common Energizer Problems
6.3 Flat Batteries The JVA series of energizers require a battery that is in good condition to run correctly. The energizer will protect the battery by slowing down and eventually stopping altogether as the battery charge is depleted. For best results, check on the energizer at regular intervals. - Page 21 To replace the battery 1. Place the unit with the solar panel flat on a smooth surface. Unplug the solar panel from the unit. Remove the six screws attaching the solar panel to the solar panel bracket. 2. Next place the unit face down. Remove the three screws attaching the bracket to the unit.

Page 22: Errors And Error Codes
6.5 Errors and Error Codes The JVA energizer may stop and display error codes. The error codes are displayed in two places. The first of these is on the Status (red) LED, where it will flash rapidly a number of times. The number of these flashes corresponds to the Error Code. - Page 23 The energizer will restart as soon as the voltage returns to the correct range. All other errors indicate an internal malfunction. Should the error continue to re-occur, please return the unit to a qualified service centre for repair. There are no user serviceable parts inside the energizer.

Page 24: Common Fence Problems
Short the end of your fence to earth by hammering a metal stake into the soil and connecting this to the live fence wire. Using an electric fence volt meter or a JVA Electric Fence Fault Finder (do not use a standard multimeter) check what the voltage is at the earth terminal of the energizer. -
