Note: The Telguard unit’s default program setting is for auto detection of the panel alarm format. Auto Format Detect feature allows the Telguard unit to adapt to receive any listed format. If the alarm panel’s format is changed for any reason, the Telguard device will adjust to accept the new format.
TG-7 series device seizes the line and takes over as the main communication path for the alarm panel. If the Telguard unit 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.
60 seconds. Note: If the Telguard device is being powered through its DC connection, a Low Power Failure (LPF) will occur if the DC power into the TG-7 unit drops below 5.1VDC and restore after reaching >5.6VDC. LPF will present itself in the same manner as the ACFC.
Telguard unit 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.
Note: When using DC power, the Telguard device should be powered up without any connection to a battery or AC power source. Because there is no AC connection, the AC LED will be OFF when operating in DC mode. Battery will not charge on DC power.
Digital registrations. Telguard units can be registered and activated once the Dealer Account has been established. Pre-Installation Checklist Before attempting to connect the Telguard device 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 unit: •...
Note: Dealer Account Establishment and Telguard Registration must be complete prior to Installation. Step 1: Register the Telguard Unit 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.
Care should be taken to ensure that a large metal object such as a refrigerator or a metal cabinet is not located on the opposite side of the wall. If moving the Telguard unit to a different location is not practical, you may need to get an extension cable and remote the antenna in order to receive adequate radio signal strength.
Connect Antenna The Telguard unit is supplied with an antenna. In most cases the antenna can be mounted directly to the unit. If necessary, the antenna may be moved to a better signal location using an extension cable and bracket accessories (included with some models).
• 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.
Trip several alarms on the alarm panel and verify that the central station received them by calling the central station operator. Use a lineman's butt-set in MONITOR MODE connected to the Telguard unit's "T" and "R" test pins to "listen" to communications between the alarm panel and the Telguard.
(e.g., a cut wire) can be detected. When the trip input functionality is being used, closing the trip contact will cause the Telguard device to send a message to the TCC, which in turn will cause the TCC to send a message to the central station.
Appendix 1 – Connection Guide Wiring Diagrams The following wiring diagrams are for the Telguard TG-7 series used for: • Back-up path (Telco Primary & Cellular Back-up) • Primary path (Cellular Primary & Telco Back-up) • Sole path (Cellular Transmission Only)

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.

Appendix 3 – Commercial Fire Sole Path Communicator Installation Starting with the 2010 edition of NFPA 72, the TG-7FS 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 in the TG-7 Installation Guide.
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.
16VDC 28mA (idle), 117mA (transmitting) Digital Cellular Radio and Other Specifications 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.
