1 INTRODUCTION
The Z-Series Electric Fence Energizers and Peripheral Devices are designed and manufactured by Pakton Group of Brisbane, Australia. This document is a User Manual for the JVA Wi-Fi Gateway. It provides stand alone Input and Output functionality to the JVA Cloud Router system. The input can be used monitor digital devices such as motion detectors, IR beams and door contacts; and analog signals such as water tank sensors. The output can be used to turn on security lighting, sirens and even water pumps. It is configurable as a Cloud Router controled output, or as an Energizer Expansion Output.

This manual relates to:

PCB version:

1v1 and higher

Firmware version: 2.16 or higher

Current Firmware: 2.16

3 VIRTUAL KEYPAD
The Wi-Fi Gateway is configured using a Virtual Keypad accessed via a PC, Smart Phone or Tablet. The PC is connected to the Wi-Fi Gateway via a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi link. To connect to the VKP on a smart phone: scan the QR code in the enclosure cover. The phone browser should automatically open be re-directed to the VKP home page. Otherwise, follow the steps below.
1 . Open the Wi-Fi settings menu and select the Access Point JVA-[Serial Number].

2 . Enter the password. The default is “jvasecure”

3 . The connection does not have Internet Access and if a warning message appears asking to “Remain Connected”, select Yes.
4 . Smart phones may require the Mobile Data to be turned off. 5 . Open an Internet Browser (Chrome / Firefox recommended). 6 . In the address bar, enter “192.168.4.1”.
The Virtual Keypad page will be displayed. On some devices this page may need to be refreshed once to download all components to the device.

3 .1 DEVICE SETTINGS
The device settings page contains the Input and Output configuration options. The Keypad ID option is also updated here.

3 .1 .1 Detected Devices
This is the number of devices the Wi-Fi Gateway has detected on the Keypad Bus. Press the ? to see a list and description of these. If the list does not match the site, press the Clear Detected Devices button at the bottom of this menu.
3 .1 .2 Keypad ID
This device acts as a Keypad to control the devices connected on the Keypad Bus. If no other Keypad devices are connected to the Bus, leaving this at ID 2 is a decent option. All Keypad devices must have a unique Keypad ID .
3 .1 .3 User PIN
This needs to be changed to the User PIN on the site to Arm/Disarm the Wi-Fi Gateway using a Keypad. 3 .1 .4 Installer PIN This needs to be changed to the Installer PIN on the site so that Installer PIN commands are recognised correctly. This is necessary for Menu Driven Programming using the 4-line Keypad or Touch Keypad.

3 .1 .5 Input Configuration

All Alarms are Latched (unless otherwise stated). The Alarms require the Wi-Fi Gateway to be Armed (through CR, Keypad) before they will activate. Latched alarm are cleared when Disarmed or Cleared through CR or a Key-
pad .

Function

Description

Arm My Group The Input will send an Arm All/Disarm All command to the devices connected to the Keypad Bus.

Alarm Instant An Input Alarm will trigger on Input Activation.

Alarm 3sec

An Input Alarm will trigger after 3 seconds of continuous Input Activation.

Alarm Gate

The Input will trigger on continuous Input Activation for the Gate Time value.

Entry/Exit Route Combined Entry and Exit route system.

Entry Route

When activated, the Entry Time starts to count down. The Alarm will trigger if the timer reaches zero and the Gateway is not disarmed. This allows someone to enter the site through a dedicated path and access a keypad to disarm without triggering the alarm.

Exit Route

When the Input is configured as Exit it is”bypassed” for the Exit Delay after the Gateway is armed. This allows someone to arm and then exit the site through a
dedicated path .

Function

Description

Pass Thru

The value of the Input is passed to Cloud Router.

Tamper

(24hr) A Tamper Alarm will trigger on Input Activation.

Alarm 24hr

Instant (24hr) This alarm is not latched. It will follow the Input state allowing an alarm that does not require clearing through CR, or a Keypad.

Function N/C N/O Tag
Analog

Description
The Input is Normally Closed. Activation when Open.
The Input is Normally Open. Activation when Closed.
Activation toggles ON/OFF when the Input changes momentarily.
The Input can be configured to measure a 0-10Vdc voltage and pass this through to Cloud Router.

3 .1 .6 Input Timers The Input timers are configurable to the second. This provides simple flexibility through an easy to use drop-down interface.

Function

Description

Zone Battery Low/Bad

The output will trigger when the selected zone indicates either a Low Battery or a Bad battery trouble

Zone Gate Alarm The output will trigger when the selected zone indicates its gate input is in alarm

3 .1 .8 Output Options – Input Alarm

A pulse time can be selected for an Input Alarm. This allows the output to automatically reset after the selected time. If the time remains at 0, the output will mimic the Input Alarm State. As the “Instant Alarm 24hr” function is not a latched alarm, setting a pulse time will ensure this is effectively latched for this pulse time. 3 .1 .9 Output Options – Zone Alarm

When the output is configured as a Zone Alarm, the choice of the specific zone is made available. If the Any Zone option is chosen then the output will trigger if any connected zones indicate the specific alarm type. A pulse time can be selected for a Zone Alarm. This allows the output to automatically reset after the selected time. If the time remains at 0, the output will mimic the Zone Alarm State.

3 .1 .10 Output Options – Sector Alarm
When the output is configured as a Sector Alarm, the choice of the specific zone and sector is made available. A pulse time can be selected for a Sector Alarm. This allows the output to automatically reset after the selected time. If the time remains at 0, the output will mimic the Sector Alarm State.

3 .2 WI-FI SETTINGS

The Wi-Fi settings pages allows the JVA Wi-Fi Gateway to connect to a 2.4GHz Access Point (AP) to transfer data to Cloud Router. The Scan button will start a search for nearby Access Points and these will be displayed in the list. The signal strength of each AP will be listed next to the SSID. When comparing APs, the smaller dB value indicates a stronger signal. For example -56dB is stronger than -89dB. Select the SSID from the list and then enter the AP password into the box. If you need privacy when entering the password, click on the eye icon next to the box. Press the Connect button to complete the process. The Gateway will restart and the PC/Phone will be disconnected. After the restart, re-connect to the Wi-fi Gateway to again access the VKP again. This page will now display the IP Address that has been assigned by the Access Point. The AP Password will now be hidden, and will display “Not The Password” if it is made visible by clicking on the eye icon.

3 .3 CHECK FOR UPDATE

The Update system requires that the Wi-Fi Gateway is connected to the Internet. When this page is opened the system will automatically check if a newer version is available. The “Select Version” box will be updated with the latest version that can be Installed by pressing the “Install Version” button.

Page 16

3 .4 VIRTUAL KEYPAD SETTINGS

The VKP Wi-Fi Name (SSID) and VKP Password can be changed. This affects the Virtual Keypad when using the Wi-Fi Access Point. It is good practice to change the Password from the default value of “jvasecure” to stop unauthorised configuration of these devices. If either the Name or Password is changed, the QR code connection to the VKP will no longer work. Changing the SSID Name can be useful to “Name the Location” instead of relying on the default “JVA_[Serial Number]” SSID. Any change to these settings will trigger a reset of the device and as the AP details have changed, a new Wi-Fi connection will need to be established to access the Virtual Keypad again.

4 .2 DEFAULT JUMPER
This black jumper/shunt is located in the middle of the board. To return the Wi-Fi Gateway to factory defaults, remove the shunt and power-cycle the board. This will reset all settings to default and all detected devices will be cleared . Fit the J4 jumper/shunt back onto both pins after 5 seconds to ensure that new settings are remembered.
