Keypad or a 4-line Keypad . 2.1.1 Virtual Keypad You can connect any Wi-Fi enabled device to the VM2 (laptop or smart phone) and use a Web browser (Chrome is preferred) on this device to change the programming options. First you need to connect to the VM2 Wi-Fi module .
Press # to select this . The programming system will start to operate . Select the VM2 from the list. The programming options will be read from the VM2 and displayed in a menu system . Use the up/down arrow keys to move be- tween the options.

5 .3 FRONT PANEL LCD DISPLAY The display on the JVA VM2 shows the fence conditions for each zone. PEAK: peak noise recorded in the last window of time. AVG: the average noise level .
5 .4 Z-SERIES KEYPAD (OPTIONAL) A Z-Series keypad allows for easy remote control of your JVA VM2 . Arming and disarming, responding to alarms or just checking the fence situation, the keypad makes this easy through a simple menu system or key sequenc- es (shortcuts) .
To maintain the IPx4 rating of the enclosure and to ensure moisture does not enter the enclosure via the cable entry area a silicon sealant (neutral cure) must be used to seal all the cable passages . JVA VM2 Manual Page 19...
. The most likely cause of such noise is a high voltage output from an Electric Fence Energizer. In the event of erratic behaviour, check that any high voltage wiring is not arcing nearby the VM2 . The VM2 is de- signed to self-recover from interference. Powering off (both 24V dc and battery) should not be necessary.
1 . Read the entire manual first. 2 . Install the WR043 sensor cable . 3 . Join the sensor cable from the fence to the VM2 4 . Add a zone terminator (PAE346) to the end of each line . Cover with a Gel cover (MHC017) 5 .
Do not run this cable in the same conduit as electric fence lead out cable . 7 .3 METHOD FOR BURYING CABLE The VM2 was designed primarily as an anti-dig sensor system. For best results bury the sensor cable in coarse sand or gravel . Note from research: •...
• Avoid burying next to metal • Ensure that pools of water do not sit on top of the cable 7 .4 WEBSITES WITH USEFUL INFORMATION https://www .sensoguard .com/2018/11/04/perimeter-intrusion-detec- tion-comparison-between-seismic-fiber-optic-and-leaky-coax/ https://www.deasecurity.com/media/en/pdfs/DEA-Informative-Brochure- SISMA-CP-50 .pdf 7 .5 METHOD FOR ATTACHING TO FENCE JVA VM2 Manual Page 29...
This section contains information on how to adjust the adjustable param- eters to get the best balance between sensitivity and false alarms. The VM2 compares the sounds it picks up on the sensor cable to a preset limit called the Threshold . Any sound that exceeds the adjustable Thresh- old is called an Event.

If you have an average level of over 50% something may be wrong. Check that the earth terminal on the VM2 is connected to a cabinet or site earth . You may also consider reducing the overall sensitivity of this zone fitting the Pad jumper to J11 (Zone 1) or J12 (Zone 2) .

Create the sounds of an intrusion on your fence or boundary and measure these . You will need someone standing by the VM2 recording the readings displayed on the VKP . The screen capture feature of most phones can be useful here .
A siren or strobe connected to the unit will turn on . If the VM2 is connected to an alarm system for monitoring, an alarm signal will be sent to the alarm company monitoring the alarm system .

10 .2 STANDBY BATTERY Should there be a loss of mains power, the VM2 will report a mains fail fault. If the loss of power is prolonged, the battery may discharge power and become ineffective. If the battery voltage drops below the set-point, the VM2 will report a low battery fault.
If a minor error occurs, it will self-clear if the error condition is removed. A PCB fault will disarm the VM2 . The Virtual Keypad and VM2 will report more information about a PCB fault. JVA VM2 Manual...

Group IDs . There must be a master device (Group ID 1) in the group or the system will not work . The VM2 should be set to Group ID 2 to 15 if it is wired into a group with Z series energisers or monitors .
. Five events in rapid succession (within the one Window) will trigger an alarm if the Events Limit is below 5 . Reduce this to reduce false alarms. Adjust Threshold before changing this setting. The Default setting is 3 seconds. JVA VM2 Manual Page 41...
NOTE: Raising this setting will not increase the speed at which a flat bat- tery is charged. Setting it too high will damage the battery. The VM2 will run a battery “boost” cycle after an mains fail event. This will charge the battery to 1V higher (14.7V) than the normal float setting.
The Default setting is 5 Minutes. 11.3.12 Siren Cycles This option sets the maximum number of times the siren will sound for the Siren On Time if the alarm continues. This may be limited by local regula- JVA VM2 Manual Page 43...
