A jumper has a connector and a housing. The housing at least partially encloses a processor in data communication with a non-transitory memory, a global positioning system, a rechargeable battery, and a networking device. The memory comprises software instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform steps for wirelessly transmitting data to a mobile device over a network. The data indicates a jumper identification number, a location of the jumper, and a duration after which the jumper will automatically deactivate. The steps performed include the step of wirelessly outputting an alert to the mobile device when the mobile device is at a first distance from the jumper. The first distance is settable using the mobile device. The alert causes the mobile device to at least one of vibrate and ring.
