1.3 JUMPERS

Jumpers quickly allow you to turn on and off different features, or reset the device to defaults. For more information on how to use the configuration jumpers and what each one does refer to “7.4 Jumpers” on page 38.

J3

| Inhibit AC fail error.

J4

| Factory default jumper
Off to return programmable options to factory defaults on power up.

Jumpers are located in the middle of the board above the Keypad Connector

1.4 QUICK TEST OF CONFIGURED UNIT

Now that the Z28 is configured to your fences requirements, it is a good idea to test the configuration before connecting the Z-Series energizer to a fence. The reason for this is that you could get spurious results if you test on the final fence and you will never be certain whether the issue lies with the fence, the Z-Series energizer, or the configuration of the unit itself.

To test your unit it is best to connect your Z28 with a test fence, this is done by connecting the cables as shown in the picture below.

1. Feed 1
2. Feed 2
3. Return 1
4. Return 2

Power the Z28 and then Arm it. The unit should begin pulsing and not show any alarms. Disarm the Z28 and remove the fence cable as shown in the picture below.

1. Feed 1
2. Feed 2
3. Return 1
4. Return 2

Arm the Z28 once again, after 3 pulses (unless you configured it otherwise) the unit should go into alarm as the fence will appear to be cut. Check that any sirens, strobes or relays correctly activate as you expect.

If your site consists of multiple Z-Series test each energizer one at a time as shown in the above photographs. Following that each energizer should be assigned a unique group ID with only one Z-Series device as the master unit (For more information see “13 Appendix A: Group Simultaneous Pulse Feature” on page 78). After that each Z-Series device can be connected together via the keypad bus and tested using group Arm and Disarm commands, they should all pulse in unison when armed.

By disconnecting each Z-Series Energizer in turn from the keypad bus (shown in the above diagram) you can check to see how each Z-Series device behaves under communications failure (comms fail) conditions. This way, you can test to see that the relays have been configured correctly for comms fail. Once you are satisfied that each Z-Series device is configured correctly you can begin to wire them to the real fence.

1.5 CONNECTING YOUR Z28 TO THE FENCE

This is covered under “5.3 Example of Fence Wiring” on page 32. Indepth installation instructions begin on page 30. After the Z28 has been wired up you can begin to protect your perimeter.

2.6 MOST FREQUENTLY USED LCD KEYPAD COMMANDS

For a full list of all keypad commands please see “10.6 Summary Of Keypad Functions” on page 60.

First you need to connect the Z-Series LCD keypad to the Z-Series device. Once you have a keypad connected you can refer to the table below to control the Z-Series device.
