JVA WA20M Solar Panels

Introduction

The PTE2701 JVA Wi-Fi Fence Monitor provides an integrated Wireless Cellular USB Dongle (Wingle) power supply with a solar battery charger and management system.
This product provides a Wi-Fi network wherever a 3G/4G signal is avail-able*. The Wi-Fi can then be used to connect an IP device or Internet of Things (IoT) device to the Cloud (Internet).
The JVA Solar Wi-Fi Fence Monitor is paired with the Wingle at the fac-tory, all you need to do is:

1. Register the SIM card

2. Add the Fence Monitor to the IP Energiser Controller app on your iOS or Android device
   This quick-start guide explains how to connect your PTE2701 to a fence and turn it on.

   • An external cellular antenna (included) may be connected to increase reception. An upgraded YAGI style antenna is available from [email protected]

Troubleshooting

Power wires are re- versed

| Check power connec-

tions

Check battery polarity

Batt level flashing| Battery disconnected

Bad battery

| Check battery connec- tions

Check battery voltage

USB_5V LED off| USB device drawing too much current| Unplug USB device, check for damage/ seek manufacturer advice
Fault| Likely Cause| Remedy
---|---|---
Battery not charging| Solar wiring backwards| Check that the Solar + goes to the left-hand screw terminal
 | Broken cables| Check that the battery cables are not dam- aged
 | Solar panel broken| Check solar panel for physical damage (bro- ken glass, bent frame etc.)
Cannot connect to Wi-Fi| Low signal from 3G/4G| Check management page of Wingle
 | Out of Wi-Fi range (~10m)| Move closer to Wingle
 | SIM card not inserted correctly| Re-insert SIM card

If the unit is still not working correctly, contact your nearest JVA distributor
for technical support.
Troubleshooting the IP Monitor

ing to connect to

Wi-Fi network

| If persistent (more than 2 minutes) Factory default and try to configure again
3 Red flashes| IP Monitor is connect- ed to Wi-Fi and is con- nected to the internet| This should not dis- play for more than 20 seconds, after which it will turn green. No action necessary
4 Red flashes| Failed to connect to Wi-Fi, the unit will try again| If this persists, fac- tory default and try to configure again. If more than 10m away from Wingle, move closer.
5 Red flashes| IP Monitor has incor- rect password| Default the IP monitor

and re-configure

If the unit is still not working correctly, contact your nearest JVA distributor for technical support.

Before you start
Activate the SIM card
Activate your SIM card and test it in a mobile phone. The Wi-Fi network allows a data-only connection, the number of devices connected to the module will determine how much data will be used.
As a guide, a single IP Energiser or IP Monitor will use less than 1MB per day, so for connecting a single IP Energiser, an upper limit of 500MB per year is an option with a lot of headroom.

Overview

D1 (Solar)| Solid on when solar panel in sunlight

Blinking when solar panel in low power conditions Off when no solar power detected

---|---
D6 (USB_5V)| Solid on when USB Power is turned on
Batt Level| Bottom LED flashes if no battery is disconnected or bad Shows battery level from bottom to top: 25% to 100%

Configure IP energizer Controller App
Download the IP Energiser Controller application (IPEC) from the app store or google play.
Add a site to your IPEC app:

1. Press the menu hamburger at the top left
2. Press “Add Site”
3. Name the Site anything appropriate e.g. “North East 6km”
4. Fill in the Unit Serial Number with the serial number of the IP Monitor. This can be found on the bottom at the back of the IP Monitor.
5. Fill in the Unit Password with the same Serial Number used just before. The default password set by factory is the serial number of the IP Monitor.
6. Select the “Device Type” as “IP Monitor”
7. Set alarm thresholds for voltage and current accordingly. The IPEC app will notify you if the IP Monitor hits or exceeds these thresholds.
8. Press “OK”

Connect IP Monitor

Option 1 – Monitor the end of a fence

1. Turn off Energiser before starting
2. Green Terminal to Fence Ground (Earth)
3. Yellow Terminal to Fence Live

Red Terminal (nothing connected) Advantages

• End of Fence Voltage Monitoring

• Cut detection

• Fence Load detection
  Limitations

• No Current monitoring

• No fence armed state control1
  1. Relay function not available on IPM variant (PTE2606) – requires IPM-R

Option 2 – Monitor from the start of the fence(s)

Turn off Energiser before starting

• Green Terminal to Fence Ground (Earth)
• Yellow Terminal to Fence Live
• Red Terminal to Energiser

Output (high voltage) Advantages

• Current Monitoring

• Voltage Monitoring

• Ability to control the fence armed state1
  Limitations:

• No cut detection

• Relay function not available on IPM variant (PTE2606) – requires IPM-R

Battery Connection and First Power On

Connect the battery to the PTE2701 by the included battery connection cables. Ensure that the positive is connected to the red connector and the negative to the black connector.
Once connected, the Batt Level indicator lights will show the approximate voltage level of the battery.

If everything is connected, the IP Monitor will have a Green status light. This will now be available and online in the IP Energiser Controller application.
