FOREWORD

A word about the significance of our UL Listings: These UL Listings allow the Telguard models to meet

certain requirements of insurance companies, fire marshals, building inspectors and other regulatory

authorities in burglary and fire alarm service as follows:

1. In Burglary Alarm Service: When used in conjunction with a UL listed central station burglary alarm

control unit with integral or Listed DACT that is connected to a Listed Grade A bell and bell housing, the

combined control communicator (C/C) and Telguard TG-7A or TG-8A is suitable for Grade A central

station service. This is one grade higher than a Listed control communicator can obtain on its own without

some type of external line supervision, such as is involved in UL AA service.

A UL Grade A Listing is available in installations where the host Listed burglary alarm control/

communicator transmits through the TG-7A or TG-8A solely on cellular (“Cellular only”: No Telco; Cellular

primary). Also, where the control communicator is switched to transmit over cellular when it cannot reach

the central station over Telco (“Cellular backup for Telco”: Telco primary; Cellular secondary).

The specific UL Listing for the TG-7A or TG-8A with respect to burglary alarm service is Residential

Burglary, UL1023. Central Station Burglar Alarm Systems, UL1610; Police Station Connected Alarm

Systems, UL365; and Digital Alarm Communicators, UL1635.

2. In Fire Alarm Service: When used in conjunction with a Listed central station fire alarm control unit with

a two-telco line integral or Listed DACT, the combined control communicator and Telguard TG-7F meet

the requirements for commercial fire alarm usage under UL864 and NFPA72. This enables the TG-7F to

be the second “phone line” in commercial fire installations.

In UL/NFPA Listed fire alarm installations, the Listed two-line fire alarm control communicator must

always use Telco as the primary transmission path, switching to cellular only when and if it cannot reach

the central station over Telco. Also, the TG-7, TG-7F and TG-8 may be employed in residential fire,

UL985 applications.

Appendices A3.1 through A3.3.1 (burglary alarm service) and A3.4 through A3.5.1 (fire alarm service) show

the installation configurations and the connections that must be made to meet various UL Listing

requirements.

FCC Notices

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY

In 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992, the American National

Standards Institute (ANSI), updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure

to RF energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies

and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated Standard. In March

1993, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Standard.

The design of your Telular Telguard complies with this updated Standard. Of course, if you want to limit RF

exposure even further than the updated ANSI Standard, you may choose to install the unit in a manner that

locates its antenna at an even greater distance from the general public than is recommended as a minimum

by the standard.

To insure compliance with the standard, when selecting a mounting location for your Telguard do not mount it

(or its associated antenna) in an area where the general public could reasonably be within 8 inches (20

centimeters) of the antenna.

EFFICIENT OPERATION

Do not operate your Telular product when holding the antenna. Be sure to mount the unit such that its

antenna is a minimum of eight (8) inches (20 centimeters) is maintained from the general public.

For the best service quality, keep the antenna free from obstructions and point the antenna straight up.

ANTENNA CARE AND REPLACEMENT

Do not use the unit with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor

burn may result. Have your antenna replaced by a qualified technician immediately. Use only a manufacturer-

approved antenna. Non-approved antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair service quality,

damage the Telguard and violate FCC regulations.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from cellular devices

may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. RF energy may affect improperly installed or

inadequately shielded electronic equipment operating in homes and businesses. Check with the manufacturer

or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Consult

the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if

they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.

BLASTING AREAS

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn OFF your unit when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted:

“Turn off two-way radio.” Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

Turn OFF your unit when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your Telguard

Digital or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire

resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not

always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or

chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,

dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle

engine.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the area of your Telguard Digital or

accessories. Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the

National Fire Protection Standard (FPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection

Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Division.

PART 68

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Located on the inside of the hinged door of

Telguard



models TG-7, TG-7A, TG-7F, TG-8, TG-8A is a label that contains, among other information, the

FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this

information must be provided to the Telephone Company.

The Telguard - Cellular Alarm Transmission System is registered for connection to the public telephone

network using an RJ38X or RJ31X jack. When selecting a mounting location, do not mount this unit in an area

where the general public could reasonably be within 20cm (8 inches) of the antenna. The ringer equivalence

number (REN) is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line.

Excessive REN's on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call.

In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN's should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of

devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total number of REN's, contact the telephone

company to determine the maximum of REN for the calling area.

FUTURE TESTING AND LIMITATIONS ON USE

Telguard is part of an advanced design alarm-communication system. It does not offer guaranteed protection

against burglary and fire. Any alarm communication system is subject to compromise or failure.

The Telguard will not work without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if the AC power supply is off

for any reason, however briefly, and at the same time, the backup battery is missing, dead or not properly

installed.

The cellular radio network, needed to transmit alarm signals from a protected premises to a central monitoring

station, may be inoperable or temporarily out of service. Cellular radio networks are also subject to

compromise by sophisticated methods of attack.

This equipment, like any other electrical device is subject to component failure. Although this equipment is

designed to be long lasting, the electrical components could fail at any time.

Due to these limitations, we recommend that if the automatic self-test feature is not enabled, other

arrangements be made with the user to test the system at least once every three months. Moreover,

arrangements should also be made for on site inspection/test by a licensed alarm installer at least once each

year.

1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERTATION

The Telguard model TG-7 and TG-8 series is a digital cellular radio alarm transmission device used to

provide a back-up transmission path (cellular) for control communicators (C/Cs). When transmitting alarms it

will attempt to use the secondary transmission path (Cellular) when the Primary path is not available. When

transmitting an alarm signal, Telguard obtains its data from the C/C by way of a telco interface. The Telguard

will obtain all alarm signal information including monitoring station phone number, account number and all

zones for every alarm transmission. The Telguard transmits a Link Request to the Telular Communication

Center and when a link acknowledgement is received, the Telguard handshakes with the C/C and causes the

C/C to transmit the alarm data. Telguard encodes the alarm data into SMS (Short Messaging System)

protocol and transmits to the local digital cellular network provider. The signal is routed from the network

provider to the decoding Telular Communication Center. The Telular Communication Center performs a

function similar to a central station receiver and issues the transmission acknowledgement when the last

message in the transmission is received. After decoding and reformatting, the alarm signal is routed over the

telco line (Public Switched Telephone Network - PSTN) to the appropriate alarm company central station for

action.

In a typical alarm installation, Telguard is installed in the same area as the host alarm system. The incoming

telco line is connected from the premises RJ-31x jack to Telguard and then from Telguard's RJ-45 jack to the

host C/C digital dialer in the normal fashion. Two programmable supervisory trip (STC) outputs are available

for connection to the host control/communicator's trip zone input terminals in order to provide a Telguard trouble

signal to the C/C. Additionally, automatic self-test and status-on-demand report signals are transmitted

exclusively over the cellular network to the Communication Center. Telguard has its own internal power

supply/battery charger. All telco line and cellular monitoring, switching and supervisory functions are built-in.

No extra modules are required.

The Listed equipment at the Telular Communication Center (TCC) plays a key role in the operation of every

Telguard. All Telguard units are required to use the Communication Center because of the C/C alarm signal

format encoding and decoding requirements used in packet-data transmissions over the digital cellular network.

The Communication Center also manages the real-time databases for cellular activation and a complete history

of every Telguard's operating conditions. These conditions include programming setup information, cellular alarm

transmission information, supervisory trouble information, status-on-demand information, and automatic self-test

information.

2.0 FEATURES

This section summarizes the key features of the Telguard. Actual installation instructions begin in Section 5.0.

2.1 OPERATING MODE

The Telguard is a digital cellular SMS transmission device that is installed at the protected premises to

provide alarm transmission integrity for security systems. It is used to provide a back-up transmission path

(cellular) for control communicators (C/Cs). If the primary path is not available the C/C will attempt to transmit

the alarm message over the cellular network.

2.1.1 Auto Format Detection

Telguard Digital default program setting is for Auto Detection of the C/C alarm format. Auto Format

Detect feature allows the Telguard to adapt to receive any listed (see section 2.2) format on every

alarm transmission. If the C/C alarm format is changed for whatever reason, the Telguard will sense

the new format and accept the alarm signal. Note: Auto Format Detection does not support SIA2,

DMP or Sonitrol formats. SIA2 and DMP must be programmed manually. Sonitrol format must be

pre-set at factory.

2.2 C/C COMMUNICATION FORMATS

The Telguard reads the C/C’s alarm messages and converts the C/C’s Ademco Contact ID, 4x2 or 3x1 with

1400Hz or 2300Hz handshake data format into SMS packet data protocol for transmission over the cellular

radio network. In order for the C/C to be compatible with the Telguard, the C/C must be programmed to

transmit alarm messages to the central station using one of the following non-extended formats:

• Pulse Formats:

o 3+1 pulse; 10pps, Double Round, 1400Hz ack

o 3+1 pulse; 20pps, Double Round, 2300Hz ack

o 3+1 pulse; 40pps, Double Round, 2300Hz ack

o 4+2 pulse; 20pps, Double Round, 1400Hz ack

o 4+2 pulse; 20pps, Double Round, 2300Hz ack

o 4+2 pulse; 40pps, Double Round, 2300Hz ack

• Ademco Contact ID

• Modem Formats (require use of accessory TG-MC Modem Card):

o SIA2 (SIA-DC-03 level 2 release at 300 baud)

o Radionics Modem IIe or IIIa2 (with use of accessory TG-MC Modem Card only)

o DMP

o Sonitrol (pre-set at factory only)

Hexadecimal account numbers (001-FFF or 0001-FFFF) can be used with 3+1 or 4+2 formats, but Contact ID

and Radionics modem IIe or IIIa2 require a four digit account number using digits 0-9 (0001-9999).

2.3 COMPLETE SUPERVISION OF COMMUNICATION PATHS

The Telguard continuously supervises both the primary (telco) and the secondary (cellular) communication

paths. If either path becomes inoperative, the Telguard generates a relay trip output that can be connected to

a zone input of the host control communicator and/or used to activate remote sounding devices.

2.3.1 Line Fault Condition (LFC)

The Telguard monitors voltage on the incoming telco line. If an inoperative telco line is identified,

(voltage below –20vdc, on hook) a telco line fault condition (LFC) is declared. The System Trouble

Condition LED (STC LED) will flash 3 times and the STC relay will trip after a 30 or 60 second

programmed delay. Upon telco restoral, the relay and STC LED are returned to normal.

2.3.2 No Service Condition (NSC)

Telguard declares a no service condition (NSC) when the measured “receive” cellular radio signal

strength at the protected premises drops to -114 dBm or less. NSC is programmable to trip the

supervisory relay output (STC2) after a 30 or 60 second delay. When STC trips, the STC LED will

flash 4 times. Restoral of this condition occurs when a measurable signal strength greater than –114

dBm is maintained for the trip period of 30 or 60 seconds.

2.3.3 Radio Communications Failure Condition (RFC)

Radio communications failure condition (RFC) is declared when Telguard is unable to transmit over

the cellular network even with acceptable signal strength. RFC is indicated by STC LED flashing 5

times.

2.4 COMPLETE POWER SUPERVISION

Telguard monitors its backup battery as well as its AC power source and reports power conditions from either.

Telguard’s integrated control and power module incorporates a battery charging circuit.

2.4.1 Low/Missing Battery Condition (LBC)

The Telguard checks the backup battery voltage on initial power-up and every 60 seconds thereafter.

If the battery voltage changes from ‘good’ to ‘bad’ state and is less than 11.6 volts, a LBC is declared

whereby the STC LED blinks twice (every 5 seconds) and the STC relay trips. When the battery

voltage increases to 12.1 volts, the STC LED and STC relay restore.

2.4.2 AC Failure Condition (ACFC)

AC failure condition (ACFC) occurs when AC power is lost or less than 102 VAC for 6 continuous

hours (programmable). The AC Power LED goes out immediately, the STC LED blinks once and the

STC2 trip output is activated after 6 hours. When AC power returns to normal (≥106 VAC for 60

seconds), the AC Power LED turns on immediately and the STC trip output restores after 60 seconds.

2.4.3 Dial Tone Failure (DTF)

The Telguard continuously monitors the 50V supply circuit that provides dial tone to the C/C when

LFC is declared. A Dial Tone Failure (DTF) is declared when the 50V supply drops to 35V or less

while the C/C is on-hook. The STC LED will flash 6 times and the STC relay will trip. Additionally, a

TYPE 2 supervisory message is automatically transmitted to the Telular Communications Center.

This condition represents a catastrophic failure and will require contacting the Telular

Communications Center for resolution.

2.4.4 Catastrophic Failure (CF)

Catastrophic Failure (CF) is any condition that causes the Telguard to stop functioning at all levels.

Most commonly because of AC power failure followed by a complete discharge of the backup battery.

The STC1 and STC2 trip outputs are activated and visible indication is loss of all LED activity. Total

loss of power to Telguard does not prevent transmission of alarm messages from the host C/C

“through” the Telguard and out over an operative phone line in the normal fashion. This is a single

line system.

2.5 TELGUARD AUTOMATIC SELF-TEST REPORT

The Telguard automatic self-test signal is programmed to for ether daily, weekly or monthly schedule as

prescribed by contract. The central station receives the automatic self-test report in the same format that the

C/C normally uses for communication over the telco line. The central station provides the Telguard self-test

code along with the time and frequency of transmission when the Telguard is initially activated. The

Communication Center captures all current and historical data pertaining to the operation of the Telguard

when it processes the automatic self-test signal on to the central station. This data contains current

operational status (C.O.S.) of the Telguard such as "All OK", "AC fail condition", "low/missing battery

condition", "line fault condition", or any combination of these as well as the current signal strength. In

addition, the data also contains historical data for supervisory events that occurred since the last self-test

signal was transmitted. This data includes the number of occurrences of AC fail conditions, low battery

conditions, line fault conditions, communications failure conditions and no cellular service conditions. This

additional information is available by contacting Telular Technical Support.

2.5.1 Telguard Remote Query Capability

Although Telguard has the capability for a daily, weekly, or monthly automatic self-test, a separate

feature is provided for determining the current operational status of every Telguard. This feature is

called Remote Query and is used to provide real-time operational status for Telguard on-demand. It

is useful in resolving STC events that are reported by the C/C to the central station. Authorized

personnel can initiate the Remote Query at any time by calling Customer Service. The Remote

Query causes Telguard 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 Communication Center for review and is

not forwarded on to the central station.

2.6 TELGUARD TERMINAL STRIP CONNECTIONS

The conveniently located terminal strips provides wiring connections for the Telguard supervisory trip outputs,

battery leads for connecting to a 12 volt 4.0Ah, or 7.0AH rechargeable battery (battery leads are permanently

connected directly to the mother board), and AC power. The terminal strip can accommodate solid or

stranded wire sizes from 14 to 22 gauge.

2.6.1 Programmable Supervisory Trip Outputs (STC1 and STC2) Relays

The Telguard has two supervisory relay trip outputs (STC1 and STC2) and are energized in a

powered up state when no system troubles exist. It enables a supervisory trouble code to be

transmitted to the central station when connected to a C/C’s 24-hour instant input zone. The STC

relays are programmable, using a standard touch-tone telephone or buttset, to meet virtually any

installation requirement.

The following supervisory features or combination of features are programmable to trip the STC

relays in order to meet a variety of installation requirements:

• Trips on AC fail condition (ACFC)

• Trips on low or missing battery condition (LBC).

• Trips on line fault condition (LFC).

• Trips on no service condition (NSC).

• Trips on radio communication failure condition (RFC).

The following system trouble features are embedded in the Telguard for tripping the STC relay and

cannot be changed:

• Tripped when unit is not registered with the Telular Communications Center (TCC)

• Trips on catastrophic failure (CF) if all power is lost.

• Trips on transmit-disable command from the Communication Center. This radio command

disables only the Telguard transmitter and would be used, for example, to shut down the

Telguard due to a runaway dialer.

2.7 DIAGNOSTIC AND STATUS LEDS

Six LEDs are provided as a useful aid during installation and give installers an immediate visual indication of

system status.

2.7.1 LED Signal Strength Indication

The Telguard provides the installer with an easy to use LED radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) for

positioning the unit or remote antenna to obtain the strongest RF signal possible. A signal strength

reading can be obtained at any time there is power applied to the Telguard without affecting the

operation of the unit. When the “RSSI” jumper J10 is “SHORTED”, the Telguard displays the current

received signal strength within 5 seconds. The signal strength is read from left to right using the four

sequential LEDs located on the top right side of the printed circuit board with the Radio LED #1 = 1

and the STC LED #4 = 4. See Appendix A1.4 for RSSI table.

2.8 TELGUARD SETUP PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS

The Telguard will not operate until the unit is activated from the Telular Communication Center.

Certain Telguard operating parameters may need to be changed from the factory default programming by the

installer during installation in order to have the Communication Center process alarm signals to the central

station. These setting include the STC supervisory trip input settings, CFC settings, and NSC/LFC trip delay

time. The Communication Center responds with a radio acknowledgement to the Telguard clearing the STC

condition and allowing the Telguard to operate over the cellular radio network. The programmed parameters

are transmitted automatically to the Telular Communication Center when the Telguard is activated.

2.9 UL LISTINGS BY MODEL

3.0 GETTING READY

The Telguard can only be activated when all the necessary accounting information has been entered into the

customer database located at the Telular Communication Center. The database includes information about

the customer account, unit location, and system test plan information.

3.1 DEALER ACCOUNT ESTABLISHMENT

Prior to activation of any Telguard unit, a Dealer Account must be established. Once the Dealer Account has

been established and service credit line established between the Security Dealer and Telular, a Cellular

Service Activation form may be submitted. Establish your Dealer Account by completing the Telular Cellular

Service Dealer Account Application that is include with every Telguard and faxing it to Telular Customer

Service at 678-945-1651. Once the application has been completed you will receive an acknowledgment

within 1 business day or sooner. This is a one-time event. The acknowledgment from the Telular Technical

Service will include a Dealer Account Number that will be used for all Telguard Digital activations.

3.2 SUBSCRIBER ACCOUNT REGISTRATION FOR ACTIVATION

A complete Activation Form is required to register the Telguard prior to leaving for the job site.

Registration of the Telguard can be accomplished by:

1. FAX – Fax the completed Telular Cellular Service Activation Form that is shipped with each Telguard

to Telular Customer Service at 678-945-1651.

2. Email – Email the completed Activation Form to cellservice@telular.com.

3. Online – Complete the Activation Form online at www.telguardonline.com.

Service registration occurs within 30 minutes of receipt of the Activation Form. The subscriber record will be

created and the Telguard will be ready for activation. Activation occurs automatically upon transmission of

the first alarm signal. Telular Technical Service is open from 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM EST Monday – Friday,

9:00AM – 5:00PM EST Saturday and closed during major holidays; Activation Forms received after hours will

be processed by 9:00 AM EST the next business day.

3.3 PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Before attempting to connect Telguard to the host C/C, please note the following:

1. Be sure you have all the proper parts before you go to the job site. The following items are shipped with each

Telguard unit:

9 Activation Form – The activation form must be completed before leaving for the job site to

install the Telguard product.

9 Basic Telguard unit in a plastic enclosure.

9 UL Listed plug-in transformer.

9 Antenna.

9 12 foot antenna extension cable with ‘L’ bracket.

9 3-foot modular plug-to-plug cord for connecting Telguard to RJ31X jack.

9 Telguard Installation and Operating Instructions Manual.

9 Backup Battery must be provided by installer.

2. You must also have certain installation test tools.

• A standard telephone or lineman's butt-set is required at the job site for use in programming the unit.

• Optimal signal strength is determined by placing the unit and antenna where the most LEDs (up to

four) are lighted when using Telguard's on-board Signal Strength Indicator feature so that the unit can

be easily placed during installation where signal strength is greatest. Upon location selection, screws

and a screw driver will be required to attach the unit and antenna to the wall.

NOTE: Your unit may be subject to airtime charges for unintended use. Telular offers several

cellular service rate plans. Check the Activation Form that was shipped with your unit or call us to

determine what rate plan each unit is operating under.

4.0 INSTALLATION SUMMARY

There are five steps in installing Telguard properly. IF YOU DO NOT PROCEED IN THE ORDER AND

MANNER PRESCRIBED, YOU MAY NOT COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION IN THE TIME ALLOCATED.

These five steps are summarized below and then explained in detail in the remainder of this manual.

4.1 REGISTER FOR CELLULAR SERVICE

The activation form must be completed before leaving for the job site to install the Telguard product. Service

registration occurs within 30 minutes of receipt of the Activation Form. The subscriber record will be created

and the Telguard will be ready for activation.

4.2 LOCATE UNIT AND MEASURE SIGNAL STRENGTH (RSSI)

Second, you will be confirming that the Telguard has adequate cellular signal strength. Put J10 jumper across both

pins, LEDS will now indicate signal strength, minimum recommended is 2 ½ (2 on solid and the third flashing).

4.3 TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER THE TELCO CONNECTION

Connect C/C and telco line to the Telguard. Trip a simple alarm on the C/C and transmit over the telco line. This

step is important to verify that the C/C is programmed with valid account code and central station information

before transmitting signals through the cellular network.

4.4 PROGRAM, ACTIVATE & TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER CELLULAR RADIO NETWORK

Next, you will be programming the Telguard unless the default settings are what you want. Then connect the

C/C's digital dialer output to Telguard and verify that alarm signals can be reliably sent through Telguard over

cellular to the central station digital receiver. The incoming Telco line is not connected to Telguard during this step.

NOTE: The first alarm is not transmitted to the Central Station. The first alarm will confirm registration

and activate the Telguard with the Telular Communication Center. All signals after the first are sent to the

Central Station.

4.5 CONNECT SUPERVISORY TRIP OUTPUTS

Telguard's supervisory trip outputs are connected to the C/C and then tested.

4.6 COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

Your last step will be to check the jumper setting of J10 (LED mode, open = normal), attach earth ground, and

permanently mount the unit.

* * * *

With this overview of the installation in mind, you should now proceed with the actual installation, following the

steps described in the remainder of this manual.

5.0 INSTALLATION STEPS

This six-step installation approach (5.1 through 5.6) provides the alarm installer with the easiest and fastest

method of properly installing Telguard. Please follow the instructions carefully and if you should need

assistance or have any questions, call Telular TECHNICAL SUPPORT at 1-800-229-2326 extension 9.

NOTE: Dealer Account Establishment and Cellular Activation must be complete prior to Installation

(see section 3.0)

5.1 STEP 1: REGISTER THE TELGUARD UNIT FOR CELLULAR SERVICE

Installation Tip: Activate cellular service prior to leaving for the job site to avoid a second trip.

5.1.1 Register for Cellular Service

The activation form must be completed before leaving for the job site to install the Telguard product. The

activation form may be completed by:

• Fax – 678-945-1651

• Email – cellservice@telular.com

• Online – www.telguardonline.com

Registration takes place Monday-Friday from 8:00AM to 8:00PM and Saturday 9:00AM to 5:00PM

EST. Service registration occurs within 30 minutes of receipt of the Activation Form. Activation

occurs automatically upon transmission of the first alarm signal.

5.2 STEP 2: LOCATE UNIT AND MEASURE SIGNAL STRENGTH (RSSI)

5.2.1 Locate Unit

Pick a spot next to the C/C where you think the Telguard will be mounted and place the unit down

temporarily in that spot. Do not mount it permanently now, since it may need to be moved to

receive a better cellular radio signal or a remote high-gain antenna may be necessary.

5.2.2 Connect Backup Battery and AC Power Transformer

To apply power to Telguard, attach battery leads to battery terminals noting polarity.

Connect the Telguard AC power transformer to AC terminals using stranded copper insulated wire

following wire gauge and length recommendations below:

Recommended Wire Size Length Not to Exceed

18 ga 20 ft

16 ga 40 ft

14 ga 60 ft

5.2.3 Connect Antenna and Temporarily Place Unit

The Telguard is supplied with an antenna, 12 feet of cable and ‘L’ bracket to allow remote mounting of

the antenna. In most cases the antenna may be mounted directly to the Telguard. If a stronger radio

signal is required, the antenna must be moved to a better signal location using the supplied cable and

bracket. The characteristics of the Telguard antenna can be altered depending upon the wall material

and materials contained within the wall chosen for mounting. These effects may not be clearly

identified by RSSI monitoring alone. The wall materials may have a more profound affect on the

antennas transmit band performance.

When selecting a mounting location, do not mount this unit in an area where the general public could

reasonably be within 20cm (8 inches) of the antenna. The supplied dipole antenna is for INDOOR

USE ONLY.

Note 1: Optimum RF performance can usually be found at the highest point within a building with the

fewest number of walls between the Telguard’s antenna and the outside of the premises.

Note 2: To avoid interference with other electronic devices operating in the area, avoid mounting the

Telguard’s antenna near other electronic devices.

Note 3: The Telguard Digital TG-7 (or TG-8) unit with supplied dipole antenna is designed for indoor

installations ONLY. The supplied dipole antenna is for indoor use only.

These considerations should be coupled with the best RSSI indication obtainable (see section 2.7.1).

Care should be taken to insure 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 to a different location is not practical, then you may need a longer cable on the

remote antenna in order to receive adequate radio signal strength. Pick a high, visually secure spot,

using the guidelines below.

Tips for Improved Radio Signal Reception

• The higher the antenna the better. So, start in the drop ceiling above the unit and proceed up from

there, to the roof if necessary.

• Remember, the antenna should be as inconspicuous as possible for greatest visual security.

• Try to keep the antenna away from sources of RF interference, including pumps, compressors,

ovens, etc., or where metal objects can shield it or otherwise block the cellular radio RF signal.

• Place the antenna perpendicular to the ground, either right side up or upside down. Do not mount

the antenna horizontally.

5.2.4 Measure Received Signal Strength (RSSI) for Best Antenna Placement

Measure the received signal strength by putting jumper J10 in "SHORTED" position. This switches

the LEDs to signal strength mode. Now, slowly move the unit or remote antenna to achieve

maximum signal strength. Pick the place where the most LEDs (up to four) are lighted.

LED Function Table – View RSSI Mode (J10 = “SHORTED”)

RSSI Value LED’s Lighted RF dBm

NO SVC LED 1* = on, LED 2-4 = off ≤ -111 dBm

1½ LED 1 = on, LED 2 = slow flash

LED 3-4 = off

≥ -110 dBm

2 LED 1-2 = on, LED 3-4 = off ≥ -100 dBm

2½ LED 1-2 = on, LED 3 = slow flash

LED 4 = off

≥ -90 dBm (Minimum signal

strength required)

3 LED 1-3 = on, LED 4 = off ≥ -80 dBm

3½ LED 1-3 = on, LED 4 = slow flash ≥ -70 dBm

4 LED 1-4 = on ≥ -60 dBm

Note: LED #5 = on indicates more than one cellular tower.

NOTE: If you can not obtain a signal strength reading of 2½ (TWO LEDS ON SOLID AND THE

THIRD LED ON SLOW FLASH), you will probably need to move the unit and/or remote antenna

higher, or switch to a special antenna, as described below.

5.2.4.1 Antenna Options

Antenna problems are unlikely unless the premises are located in a fringe network coverage area, in a

building below ground level, or in a metal structure. If you require a higher gain antenna or a longer

cable assembly please contact your Telular Sales Representative at 800-229-2326. Telular offers a

variety of high quality low loss dual band antenna cables and high gain antenna.

5.3 STEP 3: TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER THE TELCO CONNECTION

Be sure the C/C will transmit a simple alarm signal over the telco line through the RJ-31x to the central station

when the Telguard is disabled. In checking this, do not apply power to the Telguard.

5.3.1 Connect C/C to Telguard Jack J5 (BLACK Connector)

Plug the modular jack of the C/C-to-Telguard cable from C/C to J5 (black) on the Telguard.

5.3.2 Connect telco line (RJ-31x Jack) to Telguard Jack J6 (GRAY Connector)

Plug the modular jack of the cable (supplied) from RJ-31x jack in the premise to J6 (gray) on the Telguard.

5.3.3 Verify Alarm Signal Transmissions over Telco

Trip several alarms on the C/C and verify that the central station received them by calling the central

station operator. Use a lineman's buttset in MONITOR MODE and connected to Telguard's "T" and "R"

test pins to "listen" to communications between the C/C and Monitoring Station.

5.4 STEP 4: PROGRAM THE TELGUARD FOR ALARM TRANSMISSION

Confirm that the Telguard enables the host C/C to transmit alarm signals over the cellular radio network. In checking

this, disconnect the incoming telco line to the Telguard.

The Telguard will confirm registration with the Telular Communication Center if the Activation Form was submitted prior to

installation. During the processing of the first alarm signal over the cellular network the Telguard will transmit all of the

programming parameters from the Telguard along with the information (central station number and account code) from

the alarm panel. Once this information is received, the Telular Communication Center will transmit a message back to the

Telguard indicating that the unit is registered. When this message is received the LED’S on the unit will begin operating in

normal mode; Registration LED #5 will be on solid.

The first alarm is to confirm registration and activate the Telguard unit. The first alarm will

NOT be transmitted to the central station.

NOTE: SPECIAL LED INDICATIONS DURING ACTIVATION

IF THE TELGUARD FAILS THE REGISTRATION PROCESS IT WILL BE DISPLAYED ON THE LEDS.

1. IF LED #2 AND LED #5 ARE FLASHING, THE TELGUARD SERIAL NUMBER IS NOT IN THE DATABASE

AT THE TELULAR COMMUNICATION CENTER, CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO VERIFY PROPER

LINE RANGE.

2. IF ALL OF THE LEDS ARE FLASHING, THE REGISTRATION MESSAGE WAS NOT RECEIVED AT THE

TELULAR COMMUNICATION CENTER. RETRY TRANSMITTING REGISTRATION MESSAGE. IF

TELGUARD FAILS A SECOND TIME TO REGISTER, CHECK SIGNAL STRENGTH. IF SIGNAL

STRENGTH IS OK, THEN CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT.

ON EITHER INDICATION OF FAILED REGISTRATION, THE UNIT MUST BE RESET BY PUTTING THE J10

(RSSI JUMPER) IN “SHORTED” POSITION. THE REGISTRATION MESSAGE MUST BE RESENT OR THE

TELGUARD WILL TRANSMIT ALL SIGNALS THROUGH THE TELCO CONNECTION.

5.4.1 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 immediately

ready for registration, provided the default settings are what you want. The STC LED #4 will flash to

indicate any failure conditions. The MODE LED #3 will be on and the STC 1 and STC 2 relays will be

tripped. If changes are required to the default settings, the Telguard can be programmed using a line-

mans butt-set connected to T & R Test Points or a POTS phone connected to J5 (black connector,

where the C/C is normally connected).

5.4.2 Disconnect telco line (RJ-31x) from Telguard Jack J6 (GRAY Connector)

Disconnect the plug from J6 (gray connector) of the Telguard that goes to the RJ-31x Jack at the

premise.

5.4.3 Verify Alarm Signal Transmissions over Cellular

Trip several alarms on the C/C and verify that the central station received them by calling the central

station operator. Use a lineman's buttset in MONITOR MODE and connected to Telguard's "T" and "R"

test pins to "listen" to communications between the C/C and Telguard. The ACK LED #2 will come on

solid while waiting for an acknowledgement.

If you are having problems getting reliable alarm signal transmissions, additional adjustments may be

necessary.

♦ Recheck signal strength. You need RSSI = 2½ (TWO LEDS ON SOLID AND THE THIRD LED

FLASHING) for adequate signal strength. Also, check antenna connector and make sure it is seated

correctly.

♦ Call Telular Technical Service, 1-800-229-2326 extension 9, and request the Communication

Center operator to check the Telguard programming configuration for proper operation and proper

communications format.

5.4.4 Re-connect telco line (RJ-31x) to Telguard Jack J6 (GRAY Connector)

Plug the modular jack of the cable from RJ-31x jack in the premise to J6 (gray) on the Telguard.

5.5 STEP 5: CONNECT SUPERVISORY TRIP OUTPUTS

Connect and test the supervisory trip outputs to the C/C.

NOTE: Activation of a local alarm or strobe light may be desirable when a trip is declared. The STC trip output

can be used directly to activate a local signaling device, provided that the trip output is not needed to trip the host

control/communicator at the same time. If both a local signal and a control trip input are required, then external

relays are needed to provide additional uncommitted contacts.

5.5.1 Decide on a STC Trip Output Strategy

The Telguard provides the host C/C with two supervisory trip outputs for reporting a Telguard system

trouble code to the central station. The supervisory trip outputs are programmable via a touch-tone

telephone or buttset to suit various installation requirements. The programming options for these

supervisory trip outputs can be any combination of the following:

a. Always Off: Disables all relay supervisory functions.

b. ACFC: Trips 6-hours after loss of AC power. Restores 60 seconds after AC power is restored.

c. LBC: Trips within 60 seconds on low battery condition. Restores when battery voltage ≥ 12.1 vdc.

d. LFC: Trips 30/60-sec. on Telco line fault condition. Restores 30/60 seconds after Telco line restores.

e. NSC: Trips 30/60-sec. on no service condition due to loss of RF signal strength. Restores 30/60

seconds after RF signal strength is available.

f. RFC: Trips on radio failure to communicate with the Telular Communication Center

5.5.2 Check Telguard Supervisory Trip to C/C

After you have connected the STC trip outputs, check to be sure that they operate correctly.

5.5.2.1 Reprogram C/C to Send Proper Code

Reprogram C/C, if necessary, to send proper alarm code when tripped by the Telguard’s supervisory

output. Program zone restoral as desired.

5.5.2.2 Check Proper Operation of Telguard Supervisory Output

Check for proper operation of each programmed supervisory output by causing it to trip the C/C and be

sure the proper LED illuminates and that the proper trouble code is reported to the central station. Skip

the testing of any supervisory functions that have not been enabled. Note that the yellow MODE LED #3

starts to flash when the C/C goes off-hook to report the alarm signal over cellular.

• Low Battery Condition (LBC): Disconnect the battery and during the next 60 seconds check to see

that the STC LED #4 flashes 2 times indicating that the battery is missing. Check to see that the C/C

transmits the STC trouble code (over cellular) to the central station. Reconnect the battery and

check during the next 60 seconds to see that the STC LED #4 goes off, indicating the missing battery

condition has been restored.

• Line Fault Condition (LFC): Disconnect J/J cable at RJ-11. Check to see that the STC LED #4

flashes 3 times in 30/60 seconds and the C/C transmits the STC trouble code (over cellular) to the

central station indicating the incoming telco line is disconnected. Reconnect J/J cable and check to

see that the STC LED #4 goes off in 30/60-seconds indicating telco line restoral.

• No Service Condition (NSC): Disconnect the antenna from the Telguard. Check to see that the

STC LED #4 flashes 4 times in 30/60 seconds and the C/C transmits the STC trouble code over the

telco line indicating loss of RF signal strength. Reconnect the antenna and check to see that the

STC LED #4 goes off in 30/60-seconds indicating RF signal strength restoral.

Note: The Received Signal Strength (RSSI) must be less than -114 dBm in order to cause a NSC

condition. If the Telguard is located in a high signal strength area (close to a cellular tower), it is

possible for the signal strength to be greater than -114 dBm even with the antenna disconnected.

• AC Fail Condition (ACFC): Disconnect the 12VAC, 10VA transformer and check to see that the AC

POWER LED goes out and the STC LED #4 flashes once indicating that AC power is missing.

Reconnect the AC transformer and check to see that the AC POWER LED goes on and the STC

LED #4 goes off indicating that AC power has been restored. No transmissions will be sent to the

central station. The AC power must be off, continuously, for 6-hours before the STC relay causes

the C/C to send a trouble code. If the AC power is restored for 60 seconds or more, then the 6-hour

timer restarts.

5.6 STEP 6: COMPLETE THE TELGUARD INSTALLATION

Last step is to handle loose ends.

5.6.1 Check Settings

Check the jumper setting of J10 (LED mode, open = normal, shorted = RSSI mode).

5.6.2 Permanently Mount and Properly Ground the Telguard Chassis

Attach earth ground to the green grounding screw located on lower right-hand corner of printed circuit

board assembly and permanently mount the Telguard enclosure.

Using the enclosure as a template, mark the top mounting holes on the mounting surface

Pre-start the mounting screws (not supplied) for these two holes. Slide the enclosure onto these screws

so that the screws move up into the thinner section of the holes. Tighten the screws.

Screw in the remaining two screws in the bottom set of mounting holes.

Knock out the desired wire entrance on the enclosure.
