KNOWLEDGE IS POWER We all know that Knowledge is Power and that JVA Energizers can certainly deliver that Power – power that can stop anything from a Chihuahua to an Elephant. However, does one have the Knowledge of how best to u lize this power?

Show Room

It was with this in mind that Shaun Williamson (MD), set about establishing a state-of-the-art, user friendly and prac cal training facility that will enable installers to really experience the joy of learning how best to u lize and install the ranges of security products marketed by the Stafix Security Centres.

COC Prac cal Exam in Progress

The Stafix Training Centre, officially registered as Ndlovu College, is located near to Oliver Tambo airport and next door to two reasonably priced hotels making the venue ideal for out-of-town visitors a ending training.

The centre has a spacious and fully equipped lecture room, a model control room, rooms fi ed out with prac cal training decks for CCTV training and COC examina ons, a large showroom displaying ranges of related products and a spacious catering lounge. The COC course has been approved by the EWSETA and is registered with the Department of Labour for their Cer ficate of Competence.

JVA JUMBO RANGE The new JVA JUMB0 range of energizers are the most powerful and feature rich electric fence energizers JVA has manufactured to date. In fact the JUMBO series are the world's most powerful, purely ba ery powered, energizers. The JMB1 is a single-zone monitored energizer, the JMB2 is a two-zone monitored energizer and the JMB50 is a unit capable of par oning a fence from 1–50 sectors. This con nues JVA's drive for technical superiority in the area of monitored electric fencing and IP energizers.

FEATURES · · · · · · · · · ·

24/7 Fence Informa on available via GSM or Wi-Fi 2

World's largest ba ery energizer (46 Joules stored) One- or two-zone units and one capable of monitoring 50 sectors Can report the posi on of the fault as a percentage of the overall fence length Short sectors can be defined accurately using JVA sector dividers ELV (Extra Low Voltage) open circuit detec on Can run off 12V, 24V or 220V Ideal for solar applica on Can be linked to Perimeter Patrol So ware or Cloud Router App Built-in Wi-Fi for easy programming Secure 24/7/365 opera on

While the JVA JMB series was specifically designed for large game parks, it is eminently suited for any large rural permanent electric fencing projects.

ASKARI BURSTS BACK ONTO THE SCENE Having experienced a bit of a shaky start, Askari Beams are back on the scene in force. With over 1000 beams already having been sold in the crucial Beta Test phase, all wrinkles have now been ironed out and the revamped beams are set to make an imprint on the market.

Askari has special ultra violet proof patented lenses (poly IR6) which are guaranteed for 10 years of unimpaired func on.

Most outdoor beams use ordinary Fresnel lenses which deteriorate rapidly when exposed to sunlight, thus requiring about four units to achieve the equivalent life span of one Askari.

Walk Test Mode Se ng up the beam array for op mal performance: A er moun ng your Roboguard make sure it is detec ng intruders. If its range seems very short, you will need to adjust the beams to make them level with the ground and parallel to each other. Walk Test allows you to hear the beams as they detect, and make these adjustments.

Camouflaged guard

1. Remove the ba ery cover from the Roboguard, or press and release the tamper switch; the on-board buzzer will ac vate for about 20 minutes before going silent again.

2. Ensure that the securing screw of both top and bo om sensor boxes is over the middle line of the adjustment slot.

3. The Roboguard will now buzz once for every me the bo om sensor detects, and twice for every me the top sensor detects. You should hear three 'buzzes' which means that both sensors are detec ng.

4. Walk across the path cu ng the beams from le to right and back again, and keep increasing the distance between you and the Roboguard. Don’t walk directly towards the guard.

5. If only 1 'buzz' is heard, only the bo om sensor is detec ng you and the top beams are most probably set too high.

6. Top Sensor: Loosen the retaining screw. Sliding the box up will lower the beam, pulling it down will raise the beam (seesaw effect). A 1mm adjustment will move the beam 1 metre up or down over 10 metres, so make only slight adjustments un l you hear the beam strike you. Tighten the retaining screw.

7. Bo om sensor: Follow the same instruc ons: if only the top sensor is detec ng you, this me moving the bo om sensor box.

8. Work slowly and methodically and check every beam in the pa ern. Pause for 2 seconds between 'buzzes' to catch the next beam.

9. Note: Move slowly; if only 1 sensor is detec ng you, the Roboguard takes longer to react: it is wai ng for the other sensor to detect.
