Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your choice of a JVA Energiser. In choosing to purchase a JVA product you have opted for the highest quality in electric fencing. Please read this manual entirely before installing or operating your new energiser. All JVA products offer a three-year warranty against faulty components and workmanship but excludes environmental extremes (i.e. -

(eg. 1.8m Galvanized earth rods) driven into the earth to a depth of at least 1.2m. Three earthing rods are recom- mended for customers purchasing the MB8, MB12, or MB16. Addi- tional earth connections may be required at the energiser or along the fence in poor soil conditions. -
Page 6: Power Supply Options
POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS The JVA MB electric fence energisers can be powered from a number of power sources. a. 12V external battery (not supplied) b. 12V external battery with solar panel (not supplied) c. 110/240Vac via power pack (supplied with MB models only) The JVA SV series of electric fence energisers are fully self contained solar powered energisers. -
Page 7: Auto-Sync Tm
AUTO-SYNC TM Auto-Sync™ is a new method of synchronising electric fence energisers patented by Pakton Group Pty Ltd. Auto-sync detects when something or someone touches the wires from two different electric fences, and synchronises the output pulses so that the potentially dangerous condition of receiving more than one pulse per second is avoided. -

1. Battery Power Source: Attach the energiser to the battery and con- nect the red clip to the positive battery terminal and the black clip to the negative battery terminal. For battery choice see the specification table. Page 18 © JVA Technologies. www.jva-fence.com... - Page 19 Mains Power Source: Attach the energiser to the supplied power pack. Plug the power pack into the mains power outlet and turn on the switch at the wall. The mains power pack MUST be kept indoors! Solar Power Source: It is recommended that a solar regulator is used in conjunction with a solar panel and a rechargeable battery.

Page 23: Fence Return System
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 energiser. -

It is also advised not to use any metal water pipes as this could lead to someone receiving a shock from a tap. Page 24 © JVA Technologies. www.jva-fence.com... -

1. Check the fence voltage using an electric fence volt meter. The JVA fault finder will also detect faults and direct you towards them. -
Page 26: Troubleshooting Energiser Problems
(See Errors and Error Codes) on the LED and LCD displays. MOISTURE AND ANTS Moisture and Ants should not be a significant problem for the JVA range of energisers as they come in a weatherproof case. Still, where possible, keep the energiser protected from the weather. -
Page 27: Battery Replacement (Sv5/Sv10 Only)
BATTERY REPLACEMENT (SV5/SV10 ONLY) The JVA SV series of energisers contain a sealed lead-acid (SLA) or LiFePo4 battery that is charged by the solar panel. If the unit indicates a depleted battery it will flash the red error LED twice. The unit should be turned off and placed in full sun for 2 to 3 days to allow the battery to fully charge. - Page 28 (see image below) 5. Remove the battery and replace it with an equivalent 12V SLA battery of the same dimensions (JVA COB004 or AUS. Jaycar SB2486). Remove J1 shunt Alternative battery LiFePO4 (JVA COB010 or AUS. Jaycar SB2210).

Page 29: Errors And Error Codes
ERRORS AND ERROR CODES The JVA energiser 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 cor- responds to the Error Code. - Page 30 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 energiser. All internal fuses will automatically reset themselves. Page 30 © JVA Technologies. www.jva-fence.com...

Page 31: Common Fence Problems
Using an electric fence volt meter or a JVA Electric Fence Fault Finder (do not use a standard multi- meter) check what the voltage is at the earth terminal of the energiser. In general you should see a reading less than 300 volts (0.3kV). -
