Pre-Installation Checklist Installation Summary Step 1: Register the Telguard Unit Step 2: Locate Unit and Measure Signal Strength (RSSI) Step 3: Verify Panel sends alarms over the Telco Connection for Back-up Path Step 4: Program, Activate & Transmit Alarms over Cellular Network...
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.
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 period, 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: ...
The message that is sent from the TCC to the central station is configurable in Telguard Online. The TG-7 unit will automatically be configured with a unit template when registered on Telguard Online that allows configuration of the trip 56050001 –...
There is a default event configured for each alarm format, so that if the Telguard is configured to send trip input events to the TCC, a default notification will be sent to the central station.
If moving the Telguard to a different location is not practical, you may need to get an extension cable and remote install the antenna to receive adequate radio signal strength. Pick a high, visually secure spot using the guidelines below. For remote antenna accessories see Appendix 7.
No Service Condition (NSC): Disconnect the antenna from the Telguard. Check to see that the STC LED 2 flashes 4 times and after the configured period the alarm panel transmits the STC trouble code over the Telco line indicating loss of RF signal strength.
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.

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.

Connecting the Telco Connections Together The Telguard communicator can provide dial tone to both Telco connections, if the Telco connections are tied together, such that “TIP” is connected to “TIP”, and “RING” is connected to “RING”. The two connections will receive dial tone in much the same way that multiple extensions in a household are tied together.
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 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.
