Telguard battery charged. The UL Listed equipment at the TCC plays a key role in the operation of every Telguard. All Telguards utilize the TCC due to the panel alarm signal format encoding and decoding requirements used in packet-data transmissions over the digital cellular network.
Note: The Telguard unit’s default program setting is for auto detection of the panel alarm format. Auto Format Detect feature allows the Telguard to adapt to receive any listed format. If the alarm panel’s format is changed for whatever reason, the Telguard will adjust to accept the new format.
If this continually happens for a specified number of times within a specific time period, then the Telguard seizes the line and takes over as the main communication path for the alarm panel. If the Telguard goes into CFC, then it will not allow the panel to communicate via Telco again until the panel has been on-hook for 10 consecutive minutes.
This will eliminate the need for a separate AC outlet at the protected premises. Connect the panel power to DC Input and ground on the TG-7 Series unit and the TG will operate normally. Telguard‘s operational range is 6.2V - 16V DC.
Digital registrations. Telguards are available for registration and activation once the Dealer Account has been established. Pre-Installation Checklist Before attempting to connect the Telguard to the alarm panel, please make sure you have all the proper parts before you go to the job site. The following items are shipped with each Telguard: ...
Option 1: Backup Battery and AC Power Transformer To apply power to the Telguard, attach a battery to the battery connector jack using the supplied battery cable. If the need for a different size cable arises, the Telguard provides an alternate screw-in terminal connection for the battery. Backup battery must be sized appropriately to meet installation requirements.
Step 3: Verify Panel sends alarms over the Telco Connection for Back-up Path Connect alarm panel and Telco line to the Telguard. Plug the modular jack of the alarm panel into the black jack of the Telguard and the incoming Telco connection into the gray jack. Trip a zone on the alarm panel and transmit over the Telco line.

PPF – Panel Presence Failure Verify Alarm Signal Transmissions over Cellular Before beginning this step, make sure that the Telco line from the TG-7’s gray jack that goes to the RJ-31x Jack at the premise for Back-up Communication is disconnected.
The trip input is connected to the external relay by wiring the external relay to the TRIP IN terminal (pin 6) of the terminal block, and the other side to either the TRIP GND terminal of the same block (pin 5) or to the chassis ground on the Telguard circuit board.
Mode) Used when the TG-7 unit is working in a system that involves a Telco connection. In this case, both the Telco and the TG-7 connections are being monitored by the Alarm Panel. It is the alarm panel that makes the decision of which communication path to use for signal delivery.

Used when the TG-7 unit is working in a system that involves a Telco connection. In this case, the Telco is connected through the Telguard unit, and it is the TG-7 that monitors the Telco and cellular connection. It is the TG-7 that makes the decision of which communication path to use for signal delivery.

Scheme 3: No Telco connection (Cellular Only Mode) Used when the TG-7 unit is working in a system that does not involve a Telco connection. In this case, the Alarm Panel is connected directly to the TG-7, and there is no other connection for communication.
For all ULC Commercial Burglary Installations, a Tamper switch must be installed on TG-7 enclosure. The wiring from Tamper Switch to the panel shall be in a rigid or flexible metal conduit along with other wiring from TG-7 to the Panel.

Insure Optimal Signal Strength Installation instructions for the Telguard TG-7 series indicate that a signal strength of -100dBm is sufficient. While this is suitable for “normal” use, i.e. daily, weekly or monthly supervision, an additional level of signal integrity will minimize the false alarms supervision failures caused by interference and atmospheric fading.
The NFPA 72 2013 Edition updated the requirement to supervise the transmission path at least once every 6 hours, from an earlier version of 24 hours. This requirement is upheld in 2016 edition as well. Telguard commercial and fire products support this feature, and it must be enabled for each subscriber by selecting 6-hour supervision during registration.
N=No (Not Allowed) Appendix 5 – Detailed Specifications Dialer to Interface Electronics The patented integrated interface by Telguard, allows digital dialers to dial into the cellular radio network. Line voltage: -30 Vdc into standard telephone device when on-hook. ...
16VDC 28mA (idle), 117mA (transmitting) Digital Cellular Radio The Telguard TG-7 radio provides data connectivity on LTE networks. The TG-7 transceiver is FCC compliant, meeting all requirements of Part 15 and 27 testing. It is also compliant to the PTCRB requirements.
