PSTN) or via the Internet (IP) to the desired alarm company central station for action. In a typical alarm installation, the TG-7FP is installed in the same area as the host alarm system and is connected directly to the host alarm panel via the TG-7FP -45 jack.
24 hours (daily). BURGLARY SYSTEM INSTALLATIONS: In order to comply with the requirements in the Standard for Central-Station Burglar-Alarm Units, UL 1610 and Standard Line Supervision, the TG-7FP must meet these requirements: The TG-7FP communicator must be used in one of the following configurations: •...

240s. • The TG-7FP shall be used in conjunction with a ULC or c-UL Listed Control Unit/Alarm Panel, which will supply power to operate the communicator. •...
No Service Condition (NSC) A no service condition (NSC) occurs when the TG-7FP is unable to register with the cellular network. NSC can be configured to trip the supervisory relay output (STC relay) after a programmable period of time.
In Burglary installations, PPF must be set to Enabled. Link Supervision In order to satisfy UL and ULC requirements, the TG-7FP can enable link supervision at preset intervals. Once the TG-7FP is provisioned with the Link Supervision option, the TCC constantly monitors the cellular path and sends a specific message to the central station if the path is broken or a compromise attempt is made.
Although the communicator has the capability for an automatic self-test, a separate feature is provided for determining the current operational status of every Telguard communicator. This feature is called Check Status and is used to provide real-time operational status for the communicator on-demand.
To change the device settings or accept updated firmware, follow these steps: • Locate and press either of the RSSI buttons on the TG-7FP, holding it for at least 5-7 seconds (use the provided tool or an unbent paper clip if using side button). •...
Pre-Installation Checklist Before attempting to connect the communicator 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 TG-7FP: • Telguard Cellular Communicator •...
NOTE: Dealer Account Establishment and Telguard Registration must be complete prior to Installation. Step 1: Register the Telguard Communicator Installation Tip: Register for Telguard service prior to leaving for the job site to avoid a second trip. The registration form may be completed online through our 24/7 dealer portal www.telguard.com.
The message that is sent from the TCC to the central station is configurable in www.Telguard.com. The communicator will automatically be configured with a template that allows configuration of the trip input feature, including the message that is sent to the central station.
Connect the power and ground connections into the respective DC and GND connections on the TG-7FP using a supplied 2-position terminal block. NOTE: Do not use a plug-in adapter or other non-panel power source on the TG-7FP. The wiring used for power and other connections on the communicator can be either solid or...
The FACP and the Telguard communicator must both be located in the same room. Trip a zone on the alarm panel and confirm that the TG-7FP enables the alarm panel to transmit alarm events over the cellular radio network. The Telguard will confirm activation with the TCC if the registration form was completed prior to installation.
If LED 1 and LED 4 are flashing, the communicator 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.
LED 3 starts to flash when the alarm panel goes off-hook to report the alarm signal over cellular. • No Service Condition (NSC): Disconnect the antenna from the TG-7FP. Check to see that the STC LED 2 flashes 4 times and if configured, alarm panel will detect the tripped STC after the selected period of time indicating loss of RF signal strength.
Used when the communicator is working in a system that does not involve a Telco connection or a secondary path. In this case, the alarm panel is connected directly to the TG-7FP, and there is no other connection for communication. For commercial fire installations, a specific level of link supervision may be required (frequencies of 180 seconds, 5 minutes, or 60 minutes).

Used when the communicator is working in a system that also involves a Telco connection or another communication path. In this case, both the TG-7FP and the alternate connections are being monitored by the Alarm Panel. It is the alarm panel that determines which communication path to use for signal delivery.
For all UL/ULC Commercial Burglary Installations, a Tamper switch must be wired to monitor the TG-7FP enclosure. The wiring from Tamper Switch to the panel shall be in a rigid or flexible metal conduit along with other wiring from the TG-7FP to the Panel.
TG-7FP: In order for the alarm panel to be compatible with the TG-7FP, the alarm panel must be programmed to transmit alarm messages to the central station using one of the following non-extended formats: Pulse Formats: 3+1 pulse;...

To use the side button, use the provided tool or an unbent paper clip. A simple press and release of either RSSI button will place the TG-7FP in RSSI mode and another simple press will exit RSSI mode.
Appendix 3 Commercial Fire Sole Path Installation Starting with the 2010 edition of NFPA 72, the TG-7FP can be utilized as the sole path for fire communications. By following Telguard's installation guidelines, the installer can provide the best conditions for a stable, sole path connection. In order to ensure that the cellular path to be used for signaling has the highest reliability possible, it is necessary to confirm two additional conditions, beyond what is outlined above.
6 hours, from an earlier version of 24 hours. This requirement is upheld in 2016 and 2019 edition as well. Telguard commercial fire products support this feature, and it must be enabled for each panel that uses more than one path, by selecting 6-hour supervision during registration.
