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:
-
Register the SIM card
-
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 sales@jva-fence.com.au

No lights are on | Power is not connected |
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

Troubleshooting the IP Monitor
Fault | Liklely Cause | Remedy |
---|---|---|
Status LED off | Power failure | Check connections and battery level |
Status LED green | Normal operation, connected to internet and ready to | |
operate | No action necessary | |
1 Red flash | IP Monitor is not con- nected to Wi-Fi, this is factory default | |
mode | Configure the IP Monitor to connect to the Wingle’s Wi-Fi network | |
Fault | Liklely Cause | Remedy |
--- | --- | --- |
2 Red flashes | IP Monitor has re- ceived Wi-Fi configu- ration and is attempt- |
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.

- Name the Site anything appropriate e.g. “North East 6km”
- 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.
- 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.
- Select the “Device Type” as “IP Monitor”
- Set alarm thresholds for voltage and current accordingly. The IPEC app will notify you if the IP Monitor hits or exceeds these thresholds.
- Press “OK”
