Introduction

The PTE2702 JVA Wi-Fi Anywhere (WA50) 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 available*. 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 WA50 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 [email protected]

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

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 on 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 its packaging. Look inside the packaging for a set of U-Bolts.
Remove the U-Bolts from the zip lock bag and mount them to the top and bottom 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 is 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.
