1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of JVA monitored electric security fences. The proliferation of
non-lethal, monitored, electric security fences in our towns and cities is indicative of
system:
D – The JVA fence around your property shows you mean business.
D
D – The safe, powerful JVA shock is a strong deterrent to intruders.
D – The physical barrier will delay an intruder, something they do not like.
D
D – A well-erected electric security fence will deny entry.
D – 60 seconds a minute, 60 minutes an hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year, your JVA electric security fence is monitored by an alert, sober, electronic
watchman.
Every second, the JVA Z energizer
discharges a very short-duration,
safe, high-voltage pulse down
the fence live wire. The JVA Z
energizer then monitors the voltage
at the end of this live wire, thereby
checking that the voltage is being
maintained along the entire fence
line. In the event of a voltage drop
caused by either shorting, cutting
or poor maintenance, the monitor
will trigger an alarm, thus alerting
you.
Manufactured to meet the most
stringent international safety
standards, the JVA Z energizer is
in a class of its own when it comes
An electric fence system which
meets current safety regulations

WARNING
* A 24Vdc 1.5A supply can be used in place of the 16Vac. The correct connection is +24V to the right AC
pin, GND to the left AC pin. Due to the stored energy in a 24Vdc plug-pack, an AC Fail could occur 5
minutes before the Energizer reports this fault

4.3 LCD Voltage Display
The display on the JVA Z28 shows the voltage at the feed out and return terminals.
Left side = Return zone 1, Right side = Return zone 2.
The Stored Joules will be displayed every approximately 4–5 seconds. The reading
will vary depending on the load on the fence. Stored Joules displayed is the current
stored joules to generate the output voltage as programmed. If the fence is in good
condition, this value will be low. As more load comes onto the fence, the amount of
joules will increase to meet the requested voltage.
The LCD also shows the programming option and current setting when in
programming mode. This allows the programming options settings to be checked
easily.

Introduction
The JVA 4-Line LCD Keypad is an integral component in the JVA Security Electric
Fence product range. Providing a centralised interface between the Customer and
their Perimeter Security Solution; it displays the current condition of each security
device connected and can draw attention to adverse fence conditions. The keypad is
used to control individual fence Energizers, Monitors or the entire site. The Customer
has access to all of these features via a Menu Driven system or by entering key

Opening the Keypad
Push the 4 side tabs in to release the cover from the base. This can be done one
side at a time. Once the cover has been removed from the base plastic, the keypad
hardware will slide up to release it from the base.
Installation
The Keypad only requires three wire connections to JVA Energizers or Monitors. This
is the +12V, GND and DATA connections on the back of the Keypad circuit board.

Description
When connecting a Group of Energizers together, the +12V wire is only required
between the Keypad and Energizer. The other Energizers are connected together
using the GND and DAT terminals only.

The Keypad needs to discover all of the Energizers/Monitors connected to the
Keypad for it to work properly. This is best achieved after each Energizer/Monitor
followed by the device type connected at each zone.
NOTE: All Energizers/Monitors need to be Disarmed before starting the Discovery
process.
