Standard for Control Units, Accessories and Receiving Equipment for Intrusion Alarm Systems, ULC-S304, the communicator must meet these requirements (Security Level I or II): The TG-7 Cellular Series communicator must be used as a Passive communication system line security level P1 (single communication channel) for Security Level I.
This section summarizes the key features of Telguard TG-7 Cellular Series communicators. Operating Mode The TG-7 Cellular Series is comprised of transmission devices that are installed at protected premises to provide signal transmission over a cellular connection for alarm systems. The communicator transmits alarm signals over the nationwide digital cellular network if the telephone line has been disrupted or compromised, or when set for primary or sole path use of the cellular pathway.
(UL 864, ULC-S559), PPF is not required for fire systems. Control Failure to Communicate (CFC) The Control Failure to Communicate (CFC) feature allows the Telguard unit to monitor the number of communication attempts the alarm panel makes over Telco before the unit becomes the main path of communication.
(voltage supplied unexpectedly drops). The STC LED will flash 6 times and the STC relay will trip. NOTE: This condition will require contacting Telguard Technical Support for resolution. Catastrophic Failure (CF) Catastrophic Failure (CF) is any condition that causes the communicator to stop functioning at all levels.
Check Status causes the communicator to upload current operational status data and historical data, just as the automatic self-test described above, except that the resulting status is held in the Telguard database at the TCC for review and is not forwarded to the Central Station.
Optional DC Operation (12VDC or 24VDC) The TG-7 Cellular Series communicators can be operated solely by DC power provided by an alarm panel. This eliminates the need for a separate AC outlet at the protected premises. To use, connect 12VDC or 24VDC regulated power from the p communicator.
UL and ULC Compliance The TG-7 Cellular Series communicators are certified as complying with UL and ULC Standards for Commercial Fire and Commercial Burglary installations. The chart on Page 1 shows the associated UL and ULC Standards. Certificates of Compliance are available at telguard.com.
TCC customer database (i.e., the unit has been registered). The database includes information about the customer account, unit location, and system test plan information. Dealer Account Establishment A Dealer Account must be established prior to registration of any Telguard unit. This can be accomplished by visiting telguard.com...
The registration form may be completed online in the 24/7 dealer portal at www.telguard.com. Register for Telguard service prior to going to the job site to avoid a second trip. The desired features and programmable options for any installation are selected during the registration process.
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 unit template that allows configuration of the trip input feature, including the message that is sent to the Central Station.
Verify unit is secured by placing additional screws in lower mounting holes. Install Optional TG-PEM Accessory into Enclosure (if using) The TG-PEM Accessory can be used to add 8 24-hour dry contact zones to a TG-7 Cellular Series communicator. The TG-PEM Accessory should be installed after the communicator has been mounted to the wall or other surface.
NOTE: It is important to fol including replacing the battery when it can no longer operate at the specified voltage level. Connect the Telguard AC power adapter (supplied) to AC terminals using stranded copper insulated wire following wire gauge and length recommendations below:...
If LED 1 and LED 4 are flashing, the communicator has failed activation. Most likely, 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.
The TG-7 and TG-7A require a tamper switch be connected (easy-attach assembly included); it is optional on the TG-7FS. Telguard produces the tamper switch as an accessory (listed in Appendix 7) that can be used when needed for communicators not generally requiring the switch. Note that the tamper switch will not connect to the circuit board of the communicator.
U.S. and Canada (unless noted). Telco Connection through the Communicator (Backup or Primary Mode): Used when the TG-7 Cellular Series communicator is working in a system that involves a Telco connection. In this case, the Telco is connected through the communicator. The communicator monitors the Telco and cellular connection and controls which communication path is used for signal delivery.
This configuration is used when the communicator is working in a system that also involves a Telco connection or another communication path not connected through the Telguard communicator (generally limited to fire systems). In this case, both the communicator and the alternate connections are being monitored by the alarm panel.
If a tamper switch is needed for a TG-7FS or TG-7UB product, the TG-TAMPER Accessory can be purchased from most Telguard distributors. Note that a tamper switch is required when using the TG-7FS in a combination fire and burglary system.
10 digits for Contact ID, 4 digits for Modem). UL Compliance Note: While TG-7 Cellular Series communicators support the above formats, some formats may not meet the requirements for fire systems set in UL 864. Contact ID and SIA2 are the only formats identified as complying beginning with UL 864 10 Edition.
Fire panels are typically provided with two Telco connections in order to provide multiple reporting paths. With the TG-7 Cellular Series communicators having a single RJ-45 jack for connecting to the panel, one of these DACT connections is not necessary for UL 864 and ULC-S559 compliance.
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 by selecting 6-hour supervision during registration.
Appendix 6 Detailed Specifications Dialer to Interface Electronics The integrated interface by Telguard allows digital dialers to dial into the cellular radio network. • Line voltage: -30 VDC (default) or -40VDC (option) into standard telephone device when on-hook. • Dial tone: Precision 350 + 440Hz +/- 1%. 10 digits dial out capability.
