Before You Start Top^
Important: Make sure one Z Series device is programmed with ID 1.
Ensure the Z Series devices are configured appropriately. Power up all
devices and make sure they are disarmed. Refer to device manuals found at
http://www.jva-fence.com/downloads.php
If any keypads are connected to the group, make sure they are not on keypad ID 8.
Activate your SIM card and test it in a mobile phone. The gateway predominantly uses data, typically less than 1MB per day, so a long term pre-paid plan of >500MB per year is recommended.
If you are in Australia we recommend purchasing an ALDI sim card to be used with your Cellular gateway.
ALDI offers a "Pay As You Go" option valued at $0.12 per SMS and $0.05 per MB of Data transfer. Since our system uses close to 500MB of data you will be paying approximately $25.00 per year.
If you choose to use the Cloud Router System you won't need to use ALDIs sim card for SMSs as our Cloud Router Software provides SMS notifications when you are a Pro user, see: http://www.jva-fence.com/security/cloudrouter/prices.html.
Make sure you check the data coverage that ALDI provides here: www.aldimobile.com.au/faq/#collapse-three

Installation Top^
Un-clip the circuit board from the case back. Mount the case back using suitable screws.
The unit is not water-proof and must be mounted indoors or in an enclosure.
Insert SIM card and connect the antenna. Clip the PCB into the case back.
Connect the Keypad Bus wires from the energizer to the Cellular Gateway.
If you are using a separate power supply for the Cellular Gateway, connect only the DATA and GND to the energizers.
Confirm the KPB is flashing, the ERROR light is not flashing, and the GSM light is fully lit. Clip on the case front. If the GSM light is on, your JVA Cellular Gateway is ready to use.

Troubleshoot Top^
| Failure | Probable cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No lights on | Connected energizer is off Power is not connected Power wires are reversed |
Connect power to energizer Check keypad bus +12V and GND connections Check voltage at keypad bus +12V and GND connections with a multimeter |
| LED 'KPB' does not flash | Keyboard bus is not connected | Check the keypad bus DATA and GND connections |
| LED 'GSM' light is off or flashing | System is still initialising. If problems are detected, the ERROR light will give more information. If the GSM light is flashing it means the unit is not yet connected to Cloud Router but can receive SMS commands. | |
| LED 'ERROR' flashes ONCE | Problem with the SIM. SIM card faulty, not inserted, or PIN locked | Confirm SIM is activated by inserting into a mobile phone and sending and receiving texts |
| LED 'ERROR' flashes TWICE | Cellular network problem SIM not activated, banned, or out of credit Poor signal strength |
Check SIM plan and credit Check antenna connection Move antenna mounting place |
| LED 'ERROR' flashes THREE times | Cellular internet problem Plan does not support data, or out of credit |
Check SIM plan and credit |
| LED 'ERROR' flashes FOUR times | Unable to connect to internet Plan does not support data, or out of credit APN information incorrect |
Check SIM plan and credit Contact local dealer for APN information |
| LED 'ERROR' flashes FIVE times | Hardware fault | Contact local dealer |
| App does not show Wi-Fi networks | Poor signal strength | Move the Wi-Fi router, change antennas or install a Wi-Fi range extender |
| Unit does not control energisers | Keypad ID clash | Disconnect the other keypad or change its ID |
| Energiser malfunction | Confirm a JVA keypad can control the energiser using the same connections | |
| Group configured incorrectly | If there is more than one energiser, ensure one is configured as master (device ID 1) and the others have unique device IDs of 2 or more |
If the unit is still not working correctly, contact your nearest JVA distributor for technical support.
