INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your choice of a JVA Energizer. In choosing to purchase a JVA product you have opted for the highest quality in electric fencing. Please read this manual entirely before installing or operating your new energizer.
All JVA products offer a three-year warranty against faulty components and workmanship but excludes environmental extremes (i.e. lightning, flood damage, etc.) or malicious damage to the unit or faulty application. Consumable components (i.e. batteries) are also not covered by the warranty agreement. To ensure your eligibility for the warranty program offered with this device, please retain your proof of purchase. For a warranty description, please see the final page of the manual.

High Voltages exist inside the electric fence energizer and on the fence terminals. The high voltage inside the energizer may take a long time to discharge. Wait at least 10 minutes after turning off before opening the case. Before working on the high voltage wiring of an electric fence, it is recommended that the energizer is disarmed, and a short circuit is placed from the fence live wires to earth. This is a sensible precaution against the ener- gizer being armed by others, while you are working on the fence.

IMPORTANT NOTES

2.1 ELECTRIC FENCES

1. Electric fences are not toys; do not let children play with them.
2. Electric fences should only be installed with regard to the relevant standards and work place health and safety requirements.
3. Electric fences should be signed. Warning signs that comply to IEC standards should be prominently displayed on electric fences at distances specified by the country in which they are installed.
4. Electric fences must have an ‘earth’. An electric fence ground is one or more pieces of metal (eg. 1.8m Galvanized earth rods) driven into the earth to a depth of at least 1.2m. Additional earth connections may be required at the energizer or along the fence in poor soil conditions.

2.2 ENERGIZERS

1. The energizer places a very short, safe, high voltage pulse on the fence live wires approximately once every second. Please be advised that there is always a risk associated with any device designed to impart an electric shock. Do not allow children or elderly persons to touch the energizer or fence live wires.
2. The maximum length of fence able to be energised depends on many factors, for example the earth resistance, number and spacing of wires on the fence, type/quality of insulators, resistance of wire, whether the wiring configuration is series or parallel etc. The amount of grass or shrubbery touching the wires also alters the performance. Fence circuit layout is very important. Another factor to consider is acceptable fence voltage, for some stock situations this is 3kV others require more or less. Therefore the rated mileage of fence that the energizer will power effectively is a guide only.
3. DANGER! The Energizer should never be operated with the cover removed as high voltages exist inside the enclosure while operating. High voltage may remain on some internal parts long after the unit has been switched off.

2.3 POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS
The JVA SV series of electric fence energizers are fully self contained solar powered energizers. Each energizer in the SV series comes with an internal battery, integrated battery charger, solar panel bracket and solar panel.
2.4 IMPORTANT NOTES

• Never sit the energizer on the ground for extended periods time.
• Always mount the power supply either indoors or undercover.
• A lightning diverter is always a good addition.

2.5 POWER CHOICE
The JVA SV series of electric fence energizers can be powered from:

• Solar Power via attached solar panel
• 90-240Vac via an external power supply (Optional)

The JVA SV series of electric fence energizers are fully self contained solar powered energizers. Each energizer in the SV series comes with an internal battery, integrated battery charger, solar panel bracket and solar panel.
2.6 MOUNTING & POWER CONNECTIONS
Plug Pack – 230Vac operation. Disconnect the solar panel. Connect the external power supply to the energizer via the same SAE connector. The external power supply must be installed in a sheltered area.
Solar – Solar operation. Mount the energizer on a pole with the solar panel in full sun all day.
Never place the energizer directly onto wet ground!

2.7 SOLAR PANELS

1. Mount solar powered energizers so that the solar panel is facing the noon sun (due north in the Southern hemisphere, due south in the Northern hemisphere, and at an angle of degree latitude plus 10 degrees). If in doubt, confirm with an online solar panel angle calculator.
2. Solar panels need as much direct sunlight as possible, preferably full sun all day. Unlike small solar powered items such as calculators, all JVA solar-powered energizers need direct sunlight to generate enough electricity to charge the battery.
3. The solar panel also needs to be clean to operate properly. Clean off any dust or dirt using a damp cloth.

2.8 RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

1. The SV series contain a rechargeable sealed lead acid (SLA) battery, but but is also compatible with lLiFePO4 batteries. SLA battery life is shortened is also compatible with lLiFePO4 batteries. SLA battery life is shortened considerably if it isconsiderably if it is
   a. left in a discharged state or;
   b. exposed to high temperatures.

2. When not in use store the solar energizer in such a way as to allow the panel to get as much light as possible, say on a window sill with the panel facing out. Take the unit out into sunlight for a few hours once every month to keep the battery from self discharging.

3. WARNING
   SLA batteries can produce hydrogen. The energizer case is designed to release hydrogen gas to prevent an explosion. Do not take steps to further seal the case. Return the unit for repair if the O-ring seal has become damaged.

2.9 OTHER

1. Keep the SV series unit from being immersed in water and out of extreme heat.
2. Be aware that thieves target solar powered items, so a padlock may be useful in securing the SV series unit to a fence post.

• Battery life maximization works by slowing the frequency of high voltage pulses just before the battery dies to keep the energizer going for as long as possible without damaging the battery.
• The over discharge battery protection will stop the energizer when the battery is flat and flash the status LED twice each second. This stops too much charge being pulled from the battery and prevents permanent damage. The energizer will automatically restart once the battery voltage returns to a normal level.
• The reverse battery protection protects the energizer from damage in the event you are having a bad day.
• Overload indication warns you if your fence is heavily loaded by flashing a warning LED.
• The Auto Recover feature will attempt to recover the energizer from severe errors which causes the energizer to stop working. This automatic recovery process will occur at 7 minute intervals.
• Power on demand automatically increases the power to heavy fence loads.

INSTALLATION

5.1 MOUNTING THE ENERGIZER
When mounting the energizer there are a number of options. To deter any water ingress, keep the energizer upright and off the ground.

• Y-standard star picket OR
• T-standard star picket OR
• < 60mm U-D pole (U-Bolt included)

5.2 CONNECTING THE FENCE
The electric fence requires a dedicated ground/earth system . Drive at least three earth spikes into the ground to a depth of at least 1.2m. Attach a wire from the Green Ground (Earth) Terminal on the front of the energizer to the earth spikes in the ground.
For full power connect a wire from the Red Fence Terminal on the front of the energizer to the live wire of the fence.
5.3 CONNECTING TO POWER

1. Mains Power Source: Attach the energizer to the supplied power pack. Plug the power pack into the mains power outlet and turn on the switch at the wall.
   The mains power pack MUST be kept indoors!
   Solar Power Source: Included, simply place into direct sunlight and mount off of the ground.

2. Turn the energizer ON by pushing the Power button once.

OPERATION

6.1 ELECTRIC FENCES
Electric fence energizers work by discharging a short, safe, high voltage pulse onto the fence wires. The animal will not be harmed by a pulse, but it will remember to avoid contact with the energised fence in future.
The high voltage is discharged from the red positive fence terminal of the energizer and this is connected to the live wires, or fence tape, of the fence to make them “live” or “hot” wires. Live wires must be insulated (e.g. with insulators) from earth or any other conductive material touching earth (e.g. fence posts).
The green connection on the energizer is the earth (or ground) terminal. Electric fences need earthing to complete the circuit: When an animal touches the live wire of the fence a current will flow from the live wire, through the animal, back through the ground or earth return wires to the earth spike and back up to the energizer earth terminal.
On touching the earth terminal on the energizer or the earth spikes in the ground, no shock should be felt. If a shock is felt on either of the above, it is an indication that the earthing is insufficient. To overcome this problem, extra earth spikes need to be added to the system. The better the quality of the earthing system, the more effective and efficient the electric fence system will be.
You should not feel a shock from the earth connection or earth rod. If you do, the ‘earth’ is probably not sufficient. An electric fence ‘earth’ is some metal in contact with the soil. The more metal in the earth and the higher the moisture content in the soil the better. The larger the energizer and the longer the fence the more ‘earth’ is required.
In very dry conditions, i.e. sandy soil, it is recommended that a dedicated earth wire be added to the fence line which in turn should be connected to the energizer earth and the ground/earth spikes
For best results place the energizer in the middle of long lines of fence. A cartwheel pattern of farm fences with the energizer positioned centrally is more effective than a tree arrangement with the energizer at the base of the trunk with many branches.
The fence and the earth voltages can be measured using an electric fence digital voltmeter or digital electric fence directional fault finder (the JVA Electric Fence Fault Finder).
6.2 BENEFITS OF ELECTRIC FENCES

• An electric fence offers a psychological barrier as well as a physical barrier.

• The risk of injury to livestock is lower than with barbed wire fences.

• Electric fences cost less to install and maintain than conventional fencing. Users enjoy low maintenance costs because their stock stays off the fence.

• Their use is versatile –
  – they can be permanent or portable systems,
  – they can be arranged in variety of designs to suit needs
  – they are quick and easy to erect

• They improve pasture and grazing control.

• They can improve existing fence life due to less physical pressure.

• Easy to set up compared to a traditional fence.

6.3 ELECTRIC FENCES
The Earth Return (also called Ground Return) configuration is the most common method for electric fences, particularly smaller fence applica- tions like “strip grazing”, due to its lower cost and ease of setting up. The fence live wire(s) are electrified and rely on the dirt to complete the circuit back to the energizer Earth terminal when an animal touches the fence.

6.4 FENCE RETURN SYSTEM
The Fence Return configuration for electric fences is used where the soil could be too dry to complete the circuit, or the animals are likely to try to force their way through between the fence wires. In this system earth wire(s) are also run along the fence with the live wire(s) to provide a low resistance path for the current to return to the energizer. In this system if the soil is moist enough it will also function as a return path for the current when the animal touches the live wire, but if the soil is not moist or has poor conductance, this system will keep your fence effective provided the animal touches both a live and the earth wire simultaneously.

6.5 EARTHING YOUR ENERGIZER
The best way to earth your energizer is using a 1 meter galvanized earth stakes. If the earth stake is too rusty it may not work properly. The best place to locate the earth stake is somewhere close to where the fence starts and that is kept damp like a garden bed, a water course, or the overflow from a rain water tank. Do not connect the earth of your energizer to a metal shed or the same earth your home electricity system uses. It is also advised not to use any metal water pipes as this could lead to someone receiving a shock from a tap.
6.6 SEMI-PERMANENT AND PERMANENT FENCES
Steel posts are the quickest and easiest way to set up a fence, but timber and fibreglass posts can also be used. Make sure that the wires are tight enough that there is no sagging. 2.5mm galvanized fence wire is recommended as poly tape or rope will degrade and break over time. Safety signs need to be fitted as per the requirements outlined in the “General requirements for electric fences” part of this manual.
6.7 THE IMPORTANCE OF INSULATORS
If the live wire is not well insulated the fence load will be much higher, this means for any given length of fence the voltage will be lower. Pieces of wood and garden hose are not good insulators. Use the ones made for the job and you will get a better result.
In a fence return system the earth wire(s) do not need to be insulated, in fact if you are using steel intermediates the more times the earth wire touches a metal post the better it is “earthed”.
UV stable poly insulators will last much longer than non-UV stable plastics. Plastic insulators are not as susceptible to fracture as ceramic insulators. However, ceramic insulators are better in grass fire prone areas as they do not melt.
6.8 MAINTENANCE
On permanent fences maintaining the fence is important, especially during the warmer months when plant growth is at its highest and after any large weather events.

1. Check the fence voltage using an electric fence volt meter. The JVA fault finder will also detect faults and direct you towards them.
2. Keep vegetation away from the fence. If it touches the fence it will reduce its performance. Along permanent fence lines you may wish to use a weed killer to deter any growth.
3. Check that nothing has fallen against the fence and that the wires are not broken or have been unclipped from insulators.

The energizer battery must be checked. If the energizer is flashing a low battery warning it is time to recharge or replace the battery

TROUBLESHOOTING ENERGIZER PROBLEMS

The most common problems with electric fence energizers are:

• Moisture and Ants
• Lightning
• Flat batteries

The intelligent JVA series of energizers will self diagnose and report their status (See Errors and Error Codes) on the LED and LCD displays.
7.1 MOISTURE AND ANTS
Moisture and Ants should not be a significant problem for the JVA range of energizers as they come in a weatherproof case. Still, where possible, keep the energizer protected from the weather.
7.2 LIGHTNING
The JVA range of energizers is covered with a three-year warranty that excludes Lightning. Surge protection components inside the energizer are fitted to reduce the risk of damage by lightning. However, nature is capable of performing more extremely than can be tested for in the laboratory; to ensure the wellbeing of your JVA investment for the longer term, it is recommended that a Lightning Protection Kit is installed to prevent lightning damage and possible costly repairs.
7.3 FLAT BATTERIES
The JVA series of energizers require a battery that is in good condition to run correctly. The energizer will protect the battery by slowing down and eventually stopping altogether as the battery charge is depleted. For best results, check on the energizer at regular intervals. If you are not getting the expected life from the battery consider having it checked by an auto electrician.
The JVA series of energizers indicate a depleted battery by flashing the red Error LED twice (see “Parts of the energizer” above).
If the battery fails it should be recycled, not sent to land fill. Return it to the manufacturer if unsure.
7.4 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The JVA SV series of energizers contain a sealed lead-acid (SLA) or LiFePo4 battery that is charged by the solar panel. If the unit indicates a depleted battery it will flash the red error LED twice. The unit should be turned off and placed in full sun for 2 to 3 days to allow the battery to fully charge. If after this time the unit still indicates a depleted battery, or the life of the battery is reduced, the battery may be damaged or at the end of its life and should be replaced.
To replace the battery

1. Check the fence voltage using an electric fence volt meter. The JVA fault finder will also detect faults and direct you towards them.

2. Remove the three screws attaching the bracket to the unit. Remove the six screws securing the case back to the front of the unit.

3. Gently separate the front from the case back and place the front face down to the right of the case back.

4. Make sure you do not short the battery, remove positive lead at battery terminal first then negative. (see image below)

5. Remove the battery and replace it with an equivalent 12V SLA battery of the same dimensions (JVA COB004 or AUS. Jaycar SB2486).
   Remove J1 shunt
   Alternative battery LiFePO4 (JVA COB010 or AUS. Jaycar SB2210).
   Fit J1 shunt to two pins.

6. Re-attach the battery leads, connecting negative first and positive second.

7. Re-seal the O-ring case by re-assembling the unit by performing the above steps in reverse.

Replacing the battery should only be performed if you are confident with the steps as described. If performed correctly it will not affect the warranty. However, any damage to the unit caused during battery replacement, particularly swapping the battery leads, or physical damage to the circuit board, will void the warranty.
Notes:

• The battery must be a rechargeable sealed lead acid battery, never use non rechargeable batteries.
• The battery should last up to 5 years depending on average temperature and usage. Are you sure it needs replacing?
• Lead acid batteries should be recycled, not sent to land fill. Send it back to the manufacturer if unsure.
• If you don’t feel confident in changing the battery, or can’t find the correct replacement please call us, for a small fee we will be happy to service your unit.

7.5 ERRORS AND ERROR CODES
The JVA energizer may stop and display error codes. The error codes are displayed in two places. The first of these is on the Status (red) LED, where it will flash rapidly a number of times. The number of these flashes corresponds to the Error Code. The second place is on the LCD, where it will display a message.

re-start when the battery is charged
3| 3| “Er 03”| Charging failure
4| 4| “Er 04”| Fast pulsing
5| 5| “Er 05”| Discharge failure
6| 6| “Er 06”| High battery: the energizer will restart when the battery voltage is supplied
7| 7| “Er 07”| EEPROM write failure
8| 8| “Er 08”| Self-calibration failure – insufficient output
9| 9| “Er 09”| Self-calibration failure – insufficient capacitor charge
10| 10| “Er 10”| Capacitor failure, charged too quickly
11| 11| “Er 11”| Calibration error, voltage reading too low for fence conditions
21| N/A| “Er 21”| Opto-coupler failure

For errors 3 and 5 the energizer will try and recover these three errors which are classed as severe errors. This automatic recover process will occur at 7 minute intervals. Error 4 is classed as a fatal error. The energizer will not attempt to automatically restart due to safety concerns. Errors 2 and 6 indicate the battery voltage is either too low or too high. The energizer will restart as soon as the voltage returns to the correct range. All other errors indicate an internal malfunction.
Should the error continue to re-occur, please return the unit to a qualified service centre for repair. There are no user serviceable parts inside the energizer. All internal fuses will automatically reset themselves.

COMMON FENCE PROBLEMS

The most common problem with electric fences is low voltage on the live wires caused by

• Insufficient ‘earth’
• Shorts on the fence

For tips on fence construction please see an Electric Fencing Manual.
8.1 TESTING THE ‘EARTH’
The ‘earth’ is essential to all electric fence systems. Larger energizers require more earth rods. Additionally, all energizers require a low resistance wired connection from the energizer earth terminal to the earth rod.
Short the end of your fence to earth by hammering a metal stake into the soil and connecting this to the live fence wire. Using an electric fence volt meter or a JVA Electric Fence Fault Finder (do not use a standard multimeter) check what the voltage is at the earth terminal of the energizer. In general you should see a reading less than 300 volts (0.3kV).
8.2 TESTING THE FENCE, FINDING SHORTS
To test the performance of the fence or find faults on the fence an electric fence voltmeter is essential and a JVA Electric Fence Fault Finder is even better. An effective fence will have more than 2 kV (2000 volts).
