Hi my Z14 keeps showing me bad battery and under voltage although I've change the psu and the battery it keeps the voltage on 4.5v and after 2min or 1min then the voltage drop to 0.4v with out any cabels connected to the fence I've bridge the energizer out also when I disarm and arm it from the perimeter patrol system it shows for max 2 tot 3 min 4.5v and then it drops to 0.4

The issue of bad battery and under-voltage readings on the JVA Z14, despite changing the power supply unit and battery, could be due to incorrect configuration of the Battery Alarm Voltage (Option 7). If the battery voltage threshold is set too high, the alarm might trigger prematurely. The default threshold is 10.0 volts, and the unit enters low power mode below 9.0 volts. Verify and adjust the Battery Alarm Voltage setting to ensure it aligns with the system's requirements.

    Z-Series energiser, or the configuration of the unit itself. To test your unit it is best to connect your Z14/R with a test fence, this is done by connecting cables as shown in the picture below.
  • Page 17 Power the Z14/R and then Arm it. The unit should begin pulsing and not show any alarms. Disarm the Z14/R and remove the fence cable as shown in the picture below. Arm the Z14/R once again, after 3 pulses (unless you configured it other- wise) the unit should go into alarm as the fence will appear to be cut.

    2. Design and build the fence. (Beyond the scope of this manual.) Ask your distributor for help if required. 3. Decide where the JVA Z14/R is to be mounted. If on an external wall it should be housed within a waterproof equipment box and definitely not in direct sunlight.
