The Telguard TG-7 CDMA Series has its own power supply which keeps the Telguard battery charged. The UL Listed equipment at the TCC plays a key role in the operation of every Telguard. All Telguard units utilize the TCC due to the panel alarm signal format encoding and decoding requirements used in packet-data transmissions over the digital cellular network.
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 time period, then 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.
CF is AC power failure followed by a complete discharge of the backup battery. The STC1 and STC2 trip outputs are activated and the visible indication is loss of all LED activity. Total loss of power to the Telguard does not prevent transmission of alarm messages from the alarm panel “through”...
Note: During high traffic periods, some cellular network providers may experience a delay in activation for up to 30 minutes. It is important that you register the Telguard device prior to leaving for the job site to ensure that the TG-7 CDMA Series is fully functional when installed.

Connect Antenna and Temporarily Place Unit 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 optional cable and bracket accessories.
Special LED Indications during Activation If the Telguard fails the activation process, it will be displayed on the LEDs. If LED 1 and LED 4 are flashing, the Telguard has failed activation. The serial number is not in the database at ...

Setup & Programming the Operating Parameters in the Telguard When the Telguard is received from the factory and is powered up for the first time, it is ready for installation, provided the default settings are what you want. The STC LED 2 will flash to indicate any failure conditions.

1-5 from the Telguard Programming Steps listed above. Then press 850, the Telguard will respond with 1 beep, then press 63, the Telguard will respond with 2 beeps, then press *, you will hear 2 beeps then hang up (this will change STC 1 trip output to report all system trouble conditions).
If both a local signal and a control trip input are required, then external relays are needed to provide additional uncommitted contacts. NOTE: UL Listed installation of the TG-7 CDMA Series will at a minimum have the trip output to the alarm panel to indicate low A/C (ACFC) and low battery (LBC) conditions.
When the trip input functionality is being used, closing the trip contact will cause the Telguard to send a message to the TCC, which in turn will cause the TCC to send a message to the central station. If the Telguard is configured to report restorals, the contact opening will also be reported.
The message that is sent from the TCC to the central station is configurable in Telguard Online, or by a Telguard Customer Service Representative. The Telguard 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. There is a default event configured for each alarm format, so that if the 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.

Used when the TG-7 CDMA 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 CDMA that monitors the Telco and cellular connection. It is the TG-7 CDMA that makes the decision of which communication path to use for signal delivery.

Insure Optimal Signal Strength Installation instructions for the Telguard TG-7 Series indicate that a signal strength of -90dBm is sufficient. While this is suitable for “normal” use, i.e. daily, weekly or monthly supervision, an additional level of signal integrity will minimize the false alarms supervision failures caused by interference and atmospheric fading.
Appendix 5 – Detailed Specifications Dialer to Interface Electronics The patented integrated interface by Telguard, allows digital dialers to dial into the cellular radio network. Line voltage: -30 VDC into standard telephone device when on-hook. Dial tone: Precision 350 + 440Hz +/- 1%. 10 digits dial out capability.
