  • Page 9: General Description And Operation

    When transmitting an alarm signal using the cellular path, the Telguard obtains its data from the alarm panel by way of a Telco line interface. The Telguard will obtain all alarm signal information including monitoring station phone number, account number and all zones for every alarm transmission.

    TCC. It is the responsibility of the installer to verify Standard Line Security from the Listed control unit to the Listed receiver through the TG-4 as marked on the alarm panel and as indicated in the control unit manufacturer's installation instructions.

  • Page 11: Complete Power Supervision

    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.

  • Page 12: Telguard Automatic Self-Test Report

    Total loss of power to the Telguard does not prevent transmission of alarm messages from the alarm panel “through” the Telguard and out over an operative phone line. If power is connected properly to the unit when a CF occurs, please contact Telguard Technical Support for resolution.

    Telguard to upload current operational status data and historical data, just as the automatic self-test described above, except that the query signal is controlled by the one who initiates it. The query signal is held in the Telguard database at the TCC for review and is not forwarded on to the central station.

  • Page 14: Complete Factory Reset Option

    ESET PTION A special function within the TG-4 allows you to perform a complete Factory Reset on the unit. This reset will change all unit settings back to a factory default configuration. Note: Never attempt to do a Complete Factory Reset on an active account.

Please follow the instructions carefully and if you should need assistance or have any questions, call Telguard TECHNICAL SUPPORT at 1-800-229-2326 extension 9.

  • Page 17: Step 2: Locate Unit And Measure Signal Strength (Rssi)

    Telguard is configured with the butt-set to send trip input events to the TCC, a default notification will be sent to the central station. If the Telguard is configured to report restorals, the contact closure will also be reported.
  • Page 18 If moving the TG-4 to a different location is not practical, then you may need a cable and remote the antenna in order to receive adequate radio signal strength. Pick a high, visually secure spot using the guidelines below.

  • Page 19: Step 3: Verify Panel Alarms Over The Telco Connection

    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 gray jack. Trip a zone on the alarm panel and transmit over the Telco line. This step is important to verify the panel is programmed with valid account code and central station information before transmitting signals through the cellular network.
  • Page 20  If LED 1 and LED 4 are flashing, the Telguard has failed activation. The serial number is not in the database at the TCC. Clear the fault (see note below) and call Telguard Technical Support to verify proper registration before resending an alarm signal.
  • Page 21 RANSMISSIONS OVER ELLULAR Before beginning this step, disconnect the Telco line from the TG-4’s gray jack that goes to the incoming Telco connection at the premise. Trip several alarms on the alarm panel and verify that the central station received them by calling the central station operator.

  • Page 22: Step 5: Connect Supervisory Trip Outputs

    At this point reconnect the Telco line to the TG-4’s gray jack that goes to the incoming Telco connection at the premise. 5: C ONNECT UPERVISORY UTPUTS Connect and test the supervisory trip outputs to the alarm panel. Enabling of a local alarm or strobe light may be desirable when a trip is declared. The STC trip output can be used directly to activate a local signaling device, provided that the trip output is not needed to trip the host control/communicator at the same time.

  • Page 23: Step 6: Connect And Test The Trip Input (Optional)

    (i.e. a cut wire) can be detected. When the trip input functionality is being used, closing the trip contact will cause the Telguard TG-4 to send a message to the TCC, which in turn will cause the TCC to send a message to the central station.
