1. INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The ZM1 is designed to be coupled with any standard electric fence energizer (see 2.1
Limitations below) to power and monitor an electric fence. As it can control very large
energizers it is anticipated that the ZM1 will nd application on large fences for game
reserves and border security. The ZM1 uses Patent Pending, DFD™technology to
determine if there is a fault on very long fences.
The combination of the ZM1 and the energizer operate in the same way as a single
JVA Z series energizer, with the exception that the pulse power level of the energizer
cannot be modied.
The ZM1 monitors the live feed line from the energizer to the fence and determines if
the fence is working properly by measuring the voltage and current (therefore power)
owing to the fence. As such it does not require a return line from the end of the
fence. This can represent a large saving on installation costs on new fences or make
monitoring an existing fence possible if no return line was originally wired. The ZM1
can, however, also monitor the return if that is desired.
The ZM1 has many programmable options which can be adjusted using a JVA Z series
keypad. By correctly setting the alarm threshold levels it is possible to determine if a
fence has been cut or shorted at any point.
The ZM1 is designed to meet or exceed the relevant parts of IEC60335.2.76. The
ZM1 is part of the JVA Z series of security energizers, designed and manufactured
by Pakton Technologies.

Introduction
Equipment Requirements and Options
Requirements
• An energizer
• 12V rechargeable backup battery
• 16Vac power adaptor OR external battery charger
• Security electric fence; standards, insulators, wire etc.
Some of these items may be included with the ZM1.
Options
• 12V Siren and strobe light
• LCD Keypad (PTE0210). Note 1,2
• Windows PC
– Windows XP or Windows 7
– PAE223 USB to Keypad Bus or PAE212 TCP/IP adaptor
– Perimeter Patrol PC application (Pro version)
NOTES:
1. While the Keypad is not essential for normal operation, it is always required for
programming options during installation.
2. Up to 3 Keypads may be used with a ZM1, each Keypad must have a unique ID
setting.
For more information on these options please see www.jva-fence.com.au
There are high voltages inside the ZM1 and JVA energizers.
The high voltage inside the energizer may take a long
time to discharge. Wait at least 10 minutes after turning o󰀨
before opening the case.
Before working on the high voltage wiring of an electric
fence, it is recommended that the energizer is disarmed
and a short circuit is placed from the fence live wires to
earth. This is a sensible precaution against the energizer being armed while
working on the fence.
NOTE: The energizer manual must also be provided to the customer as it
includes mandatory safety information.
DANGER
The ZM1 contains patent pending technology. contact JVA for more information.

(load increases)
• Start and/or end of fence monitoring
• Able to be monitored via PC (using Z control or Perimeter Patrol software)
• Run from 16Vac or 12V DC external source
• Built-in battery charger and 7aH back-up battery (not included) as per Z14
• Can be operated from alternative larger external battery and charger
• Controls 12V DC feed to energizer

• Gate contact input
• Siren and strobe switched 12V DC outputs
• 3 on-board relays with many programmable functions.
2.1 Limitations
• An energizer used with the ZM1 must comply with IEC60335.2.76 (or similar)
safety standard.
• The ZM1 supports conventional wiring only (not Bi-Polar), although 2 units could
be used to monitor a Bi-Polar fence.
• The maximum energizer power is 36 Joules (Stax M36 or similar).
• At this stage (Code Version 1.4 and earlier) a ZM1 cannot be used in a group either
with other ZM1 units or with Z series energizers.
NOTES:
1. DFD operates on PCB Versions 1.1 and higher and rmware 1.40 and higher.
2. Anti-bridging operates with rmware 1.32 or higher.

Operation
3. OPERATION
3.1 Control Options
The ZM1 may be armed and disarmed (controlled) using a:
• Key switch or remote switch connected to the control input (IN1)
• Remote control radio receiver connected to IN1
• Z Series Keypad
• JVA GSM module
• Windows PC running JVA Perimeter Patrol (Pro version)
• Low level interface (wired to control inputs and relay outputs) from a third party
security alarm panel or Physical Security Information System (PSIM)
• A high level interface
NOTE: More than 1 method may be used in the one installation.
3.2 Control Arbitration
If an installation contains two ways to control the ZM1/Energizer, then the most recent
control signal will determine the Armed/Disarmed state. For example, if the ZM1 is
armed via the keypad, and then disarmed at the control input (IN1), it will disarm.
The higher level control methods such as the GSM and PC control software may
override the Control input and Keypads methods, depending on the options used. If
you need to make sure that the fence is disarmed (for maintenance) then using the
Key switch or keypad alone may not guarantee that the fence will remain disarmed.
3.3 Control Inputs
The ZM1 may have a single Key switch mounted on the right hand side of the
cabinet which may be used to arm and disarm the security electric fence to which it
is connected. This switch is useful for the simplest implementations where no keypad
or PC control program is used. It may be disabled by the installer, by removing the
lead from socket SW2.
When switched on via the Key switch (or a switch connected to IN1) the ZM1 will
power up the energizer it is coupled to and begin monitoring the fence.
The LCD display will change to display the Feed and Ground voltages. If there is a
fence fault the ZM1 will go into alarm, the internal beeper will sound (if it has not been
inhibited) and any siren and strobe connected to the ZM1 will be turned on.
Switching the Key switch o󰀨 will disarm the ZM1, though it will continue to display
the alarm.

Operation
3.4 Keypad Control
The ZM1 uses the same keypads as the
Z series energizers and is controlled using
the same keypad codes outlined below.
The keypad will also display the feed and
return voltages of the fence, but not the
ground voltage or fence current at this time.
The standard alarms and alerts to problems
(Trouble) will also be displayed.

The LCD keypad has two LED’s, Power and Arm, which
act as follows:
Power – On with mains power, ashes on low battery
Arm – On when the ZM1 is armed.
All other indication is given via messages on the screen.
Whenever the keypad displays:
• ALARM ZONE
• FAULTED ZONE or
• SYSTEM TROUBLE
pressing the [#] key will reveal more information, such as the name of the zone or the
actual system trouble, for instance AC Fail.

lose any changes you made!
Notes on keypad addresses:
Up to 3 keypads can be used in a system. When using 2 or 3 keypads in a system,
one of the keypads MUST be set to address 2 and the second one should be
set to a value between 1 – 7. Do not set this to address 8 as this address uses a
di󰀨erent protocol. If a third keypad is used, its ID must also be set to a unique value
between 1 and 7.
