1. INTRODUCTION
The JVA Z-Series Electric Fence Energizers are designed and manufactured
exclusively for JVA by Pakton Technologies of Brisbane, Australia. This manual is an
OEM Manual for the Z-Series (Z11, Z13, Z14, Z14R, Z18 and Z114) security electric
fence energizers.
Z11 Single Zone, Conventional 1.5 Joule (Output). Z13 Single Zone, Conventional
2.8 Joule (Output).
Z14 Single Zone, Conventional or Bi-Polar 4 Joule (Output). Z14R Z14 with Relays
and IR Tamper Circuit.
Z18 Single Zone, Conventional or Bi-Polar 8 Joule (Output), contains Relays and IR
Tamper Circuit. Z114 Single Zone, Conventional or Bi-Polar 14 Joule (Output),
contains IR Tamper Circuit.
This manual relates to:
PCB versions: 7v42+ for the Z13/Z14/Z14R, 1v10+ for the Z114.
Firmwareversion:7.50orhigher(thermwareversionisshownontheLCDonreset)
Current Firmware: 8V32.
Introduction
Glossary
OEM – Original equipment manufacturer.
Zone – A high voltage fence output and return to provide perimeter security.
Control Input – Aninputthatallowstheusertocontrolspecicfunctionsofthe
Energizer.
Relay Output – A programmable output (provided by a physical relay) to indicate
an Energizer/Fence condition, such as Fence Alarm, Low Battery
Voltage.
Bi-polar – A Bi-Polar fence is an all-live wire fence. A Bi-Polar Energizer has
the ability to pulse synchronised positive and negative pulses down
alternate wires of the same fence line.
Conventional – A Conventional electric fence is wired in such a way that alternate
live and earth wires are on the fence.
Feed Voltage – (Also Fence Feed) The Voltage connection from the Energizer to
the start of the fence zone.
Return Voltage – (Also Fence Return) The Voltage connection from the end of a
fence zone to the monitoring circuit of the Energizer.
On/Armed – The Energizer is transmitting high (or low) voltage pulses onto the
fence. The fence is secure.
O/Disarmed – The fence zone is unsecure, but is safe to perform maintenance on.
Positive Voltage – The Positive fence voltage on a Bi-polar Fence.
Negative Voltage – The Negative fence voltage on a Bi-Polar Fence.
Low Power mode – The fence live wires operate at a much lower voltage, typically 500V
peak. This ensures detection together with public safety.
