Introduction

The PTE2703 JVA Wi-Fi Anywhere (WA100) provides an integrated Wire-less Cellular USB Dongle (Wingle) power supply with a solar battery char-ger 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 Anywhere is installed with an ALDI SIM card at the factory, all you need to do is:

Register the SIM card
Connect any Wi-Fi enabled device to the network provided

This quick-start guide explains how to deploy your WA100 and connect a battery ready for Wi-Fi connections. An external cellular antenna (included) may be connected to increase reception. An upgraded YAGI style antenna is available from sales@jva-fence.com.au

Troubleshooting

Fault	Likely Cause	Remedy
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 distribu- tor 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.

Deployment and Orientation

Unpack the solar kit from it’s packaging. Look inside the packaging for a set of U-Bolts.
Remove the U-Bolts from the zip lock bag and mopunt it to the top and bot- tom panel of the bracket.
- (A) U-Bolt x 2 (B) Top or Bottom Panel
- (C) Washers x 4 (D) Spring Washers x 4 (E) Hex Nut x 4
Loosen the 6 bolts on the inside of the frame that are used to hold the solar panel at a right angle. DO NOT completely remove these bolts.
Lift the bottom of the solar panel until the attached arms holding it are angled at 90 degrees. Tighten all 6 bolts again from step 3.
Attach the red and black eyelet crimps to the battery To find a battery that will suit you, visit our website: https://jva-fence.com.au/solar.php
Alternative wiring:
The following diagram shows an alternative method for wiring the Solar Kit. The battery is connected directly to the solar kit and the Wi-Fi device.
The solar kit will have a spare connector (load cable), but the solar kit will still operate properly.
