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 TG-5 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 TG-5 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.

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 OPERATION
The Telguard model TG-5 is a digital cellular radio alarm transmission device used to provide a primary
transmission path (cellular) for control communicators (C/Cs). It uses the secondary transmission path
(telco) when the cellular path is not available. When transmitting an alarm signal, Telguard obtains its data
from the C/C by way of a telco interface. The device transmits a Link Request to the Telular operated
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 (message) center. The Communication Center performs
like 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 telco 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 any premises RJ-11 jack to Telguard and then from Telguard's RJ-45 jack to the
host control/communicator's 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.
Wireless voice calls may be made using POTS telephone equipment attached to the RJ-11 jack wired to the
WVL terminal block in the TG-5. The Telguard processes incoming and outgoing voice calls. When service is
available, the TG-5 generates a normal dial tone and when no-service or a non- registered cellular service is
found, a separate no-service tone is generated. The TG-5 maintains an open audio path when in a call or call
setup in order to receive progress tones and/or announcements provided by the cellular carrier or Telephone
Company when connected. Typical indications from the network may include:
• Subscriber-not-available announcement
• Audible ring tone (ring tone heard by calling party)
• Subscriber-busy tone
• System-busy tone (also known as reorder tone and congestion tone)
• Special-Information-Tone (SIT)
• Call-Waiting tone
• Action-acknowledgement tone
The TG-5 voice interface sends information to an external Caller ID device to allow presentation of the calling
party's telephone number if this service is available from the network. Both on-hook and off-hook caller ID are
supported.
The Telguard model TG-5 comes with a special digital cellular transceiver (without handset), dipole antenna,
interface with integrated control and power module, connecting cable, plug-in transformer and comes in a
standard metal enclosure. It is UL Listed for residential burglary and residential fire.
The Listed equipment at the Telular operated 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 and a separate digital cellular voice service. It is
used to provide a primary transmission path (cellular) for control communicators (C/Cs). If the cellular
path is not available the C/C will transmit the alarm message over the telco network. Voice calls can be
made using POTS telephone equipment attached to RJ-11 jacks wired to the WVL terminal block.
2.2 C/C COMPATIBLE COMMUNICATION FORMATS
The Telguard reads the C/C’s alarm messages and converts the C/C’s Ademco Contact ID (DTMF) 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 Contact ID only.
2.3 COMPLETE SUPERVISION OF COMMUNICATION PATHS
The Telguard continuously supervises both the primary (cellular) and the secondary (telco) 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, a telco line fault condition (LFC) is declared.
LFC is programmable to trip the supervisory relay output (STC1) after a 30 or 60 second
delay. When the STC1 trips, the STC LED indicates 3 flashes at a time and the C/C zone
trip message is transmitted to the alarm company central station indicating system
trouble. Upon telco restoral, the STC1 relay and STC LED are returned to normal and a
STC restoral message is transmitted if the C/C is programmed to transmit restorals. Both
STC relays have same functionality and are independently fully programmable. Update
as you see fit.
2.3.3 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 STC1 trips, the STC LED indicates 4 flashes at a time and the C/C zone trip
message is transmitted to the central station indicating system trouble. 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.
2.3.4 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. Two conditions
can cause an RFC to occur, Link Request failure (RFC1) or Link Termination failure
(RFC2).
2.3.4.1 RFC1 (Link Request Failure)
When there is an alarm signal to communicate, the Telguard attempts to transmit
its message via radio. When the C/C goes off-hook, the Telguard transmits a
Link Request to the TCC and waits for a Link Request ACK. If the Telguard
does not receive an ACK for the transmission before the C/C hangs up, it will
retransmit the Link Request again when the C/C goes off-hook for a redial
attempt. If the Telguard does not receive an ACK after three attempts, then an
RFC will be declared which trips the STC2 relay, causes the STC LED to flash
56025001 Page © 2003 Telular Corporation
6
five times and switches the Telguard to Telco. Restoral of RFC occurs when the
communication cycle is completed.
2.3.4.2 RFC2 (Link Termination Failure)
After the Telguard receives a Link Request ACK from the TCC, the Telguard
communicates with the C/C to acquire the alarm message and transmits the
message via radio. If the Telguard does not receive a link termination ACK
(where the TCC acknowledges receiving the transmission) within 30 seconds, it
will retry sending the entire transmission. Upon failing two attempts, the
Telguard switches to Telco and allows the C/C to communicate directly with the
Central Station. An RFC is declared causing the STC1 relay to trip and the STC
LED to flash five times. Restoral of RFC occurs when the communication cycle
is completed.
2.4 COMPLETE POWER SUPERVISION
Telguard monitors its backup battery as well as its AC power source and reports low or missing power
conditions from either. Telguard’s integrated control and power module incorporates a battery charger
circuit that is programmable for various battery capacities.
2.4.1 Low/Missing Battery Condition (LBC)
The Telguard checks the backup battery voltage on initial power-up and every 5 minute
thereafter. Additionally, a battery voltage test is performed by the Telguard every 24-
hours while operating on AC power in order to measure the loaded battery voltage.
Battery charging voltage turned off and the places a load on the battery. If the battery
voltage is less than 11.6 volts, a LBC is declared whereby the STC LED blinks twice (½
sec ON, ½ sec OFF, ½ sec ON, ½ OFF every 5 seconds) and the STC2 relay trips. When
the battery voltage increases to 12.1 volts, the STC LED and STC2 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 STC trip output is activated after 6 hours. When AC power
returns too 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 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.
Alarm operation over Telco is not guaranteed.
2.5 TELGUARD AUTOMATIC SELF-TEST REPORT
The Telguard automatic self-test signal is originated by the Telguard on a daily, weekly, or monthly
schedule. When the time for an automatic self-test occurs, the Telguard transmits a radio signal to the
Communication Center and the Communication Center processes the signal on to the central station, just as
normal alarm signals are processed. 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. However, an automatic self-test report can be initiated later, after the Telguard is installed, as
well as modifying the time or frequency of reporting.
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.
56025001 Page © 2003 Telular Corporation
7
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.
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 strip 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 mother board), and AC power. The terminal strip can accommodate
solid or stranded wire sizes from 14 gauge to 30 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:
• Always Off.
• 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 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.

2.7.1 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 “IN”, 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 TX LED = 1 and the AC POWER LED = 4.
RSSI Value LED’s Lighted RF dBm
NO SVC LED 1* = on, LED 2-4 = off ≤ -114 dBm

3.0 GETTING READY
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:
Basic Telguard unit in a metal enclosure.
UL Listed plug-in transformer.
Antenna.
3-foot modular plug-to-plug cord for connecting Telguard to RJ11X jack.
Telguard Installation and Operating Instructions Manual
Telguard TG-5 Home Owner Manual
Backup Battery must be provided by installer.
2. You must also have certain installation test tools.
• A standard telephone or lineman's buttset is required at the job site for use in programming
the unit.
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 CONFIRM QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR VOICE CALLS
First, you will be confirming that Telguard's SIM Card is correctly installed into the unit and cellular service is activated.
This is the most important step in the installation, since the programming parameters contain all the necessary
information for successful communications. Also, you will confirm that Telguard has adequate cellular signal
strength and Quality of Service for voice.
4.2 TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER THE TELCO CONNECTION
Once you have confirmed that the unit is active and the voice quality is good, you will be ready to verify that
the C/C is programmed properly. 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.
4.3 TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER THE CELLULAR RADIO NETWORK
Next, you will be connecting the C/C's digital dialer output to Telguard and verifying 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.
4.4 CONNECT SUPERVISORY TRIP OUTPUTS
Telguard's supervisory trip outputs are connected to the C/C and then tested.
4.5 COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION
Your last step will be to check the jumper setting of J10 (LED mode, out = 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. Experienced installers following these steps can usually
install Telguard in new installations with good signal strength in a maximum of 30 minutes and in
retrofit/existing installations in a maximum of one hour.

5.0 INSTALLATION STEPS
This five-step installation approach (5.1 through 5.5) 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 for
TECHNICAL SUPPORT: 1-800- 229-2326
5.1 STEP 1: CONFIRM QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR VOICE CALLS
Confirm that Telguard's SIM card is properly installed into the unit, cellular service is activated, and Telguard has
adequate cellular signal-strength and Quality of Service. This is the most important step in the installation, since
the programming parameters contain all the necessary information for successful communications and good
signal-strength and Quality of Service insures performance reliability.
5.1.1 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.
5.1.2 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
5.1.3 Connect Antenna and Temporarily Place Unit
The Telguard is supplied with an antenna that is connected directly to the unit. If a stronger
radio signal is required, the unit with antenna connected must be moved to a better signal
location. 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.
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 TG-5 unit is designed for indoor installations 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.
5.1.3.1 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.
5.1.4 Measure Received Signal Strength (RSSI) for Best Antenna
Placement
Measure the received signal strength by putting jumper J10 "IN". 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
RSSI Value LED’s Lighted RF dBm
NO SVC LED 1* = on, 2-4 = off ≤ -116 dBm
0 LED 1 = on, 2-4 = off ≤ -111 dBm
1 LED 1 = on, 2 = slow flash
LED 3-4 = off
≥ -110 dBm
2 LED 1-2 = on, LED 3-4 = off ≥ -100 dBm
3 LED 1-2 =ON, 3 =SLOW FLASH
LED 4 = off
≥ -90 dBm (Minimum signal
strength required)
4 LED 1-3 = on, LED 4 = off ≥ -80 dBm
5 LED 1-3 = on , 4 = slow flash ≥ -70 dBm
6 LED 1-4 = on ≥ -60 dBm
*Note: LED 1 = Radio TX; LED 2 = Mode; LED 3 = STC; LED 4 = AC Power.
NOTE: If you can not obtain a signal strength reading of 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.
5.1.4.1 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. However,
here are your options:
Magnetic Mount 3-dB gain Antenna with 12ft. Cable: The 3dB magnetic
mount antenna comes with 12 feet of cable (Telular model no: MMA-3).
Magnetic Mount 3-dB gain Antenna with 35ft. or 50ft. Cable: The 3dB
magnetic mount antenna comes with 35 or 50 feet of cable (Telular P/N: MMA-35
or MMA-50).

5.1.5 Place a call on the WVL
Connect a telephone to the RJ-11 jack that is wired to the main circuit board of the
Telguard marked JP5.
You should be able to place a call over the WVL. Dial a number the same as you would
over a standard telephone line, there is no need for special dialing. Pay particular
attention to the clarity of the call, you are listening for clear (no echoing or static)
communications. If there is noise on the line the antenna will require a different position.
Sometimes a very small change will yield good results.
NOTE: THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT PARAMETERS THAT CAN BE MODIFIED FOR THE
WVL. PLEASE SEE END-USER MANUAL FOR PROGRAMMING OPTIONS.
5.2 STEP 2: 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-11 to the central
station when the Telguard is disabled. In checking this, do not apply power to the Telguard. Make sure
house phones are not in use.
5.2.1 Connect C/C to Telguard
Jack 2
Plug the modular jack of the C/C-to-Telguard cable (supplied) from C/C to J5 on the
Telguard.
5.2.2 Connect Telguard to RJ-11 Jack
Plug the modular jack of the Telguard cable from J6to the RJ-11 jack in the premise.
5.2.3 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
Telguard.
5.3 STEP 3: PROGRAM THE TELGUARD FOR ALARM TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMIT C/C
ALARMS OVER THE CELLULAR RADIO NETWORK
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 model TG-5 is self-activating with the Telular Communication Center. 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. The STC LED
will begin flashing 3 three times to indicate a Telephone Line Fault condition and the Mode led will come on solid.
5.3.1 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 after a 10 second delay, provided the default settings are what you want. The STC LED turns on steady,
the Mode LED will be off 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 buttset connected to the T & R pins or a POTS phone
connected to JP 5 (where the WVL is normally connected).
Put the line-mans buttset in talk mode or pick up the POTS phone, connect power to the Telguard,
when ready for programming you will enter ‘# * 0 * 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 #, this will put the Telguard
into a Master Access programming mode.

On hook Exits programming and stores changes
The syntax for programming a specific memory location is as follows:
# * Memory location (3digits) *, value, #
For example, to change the Telguard factory default for STC 1 Trip Output reporting from all
system troubles to only to include LBC, the installer would power down the Telguard, connect a
buttset to the JP 5 connector, reconnect power,
Next press # * 0 * 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 #
Then press # * 850 * 2 #
And hang up this will change STC 1 trip output to report only LFC
5.3.3 Complete the Telguard Programming Data Sheet
Fill out the following Telguard Programming Data Sheet. The completed data sheet enables you to
properly install and test the Telguard as well as provide a valuable aid to future troubleshooting if it
becomes necessary. Detach and retain this data sheet in your customer account file for future reference.

5.3.4 Disconnect Telguard from RJ-11
Jack
Disconnect the Plug from J6 of the Telguard that goes to the RJ-11 Jack at the premise
Telguard.
5.3.5 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 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 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, and request the Communication
Center operator to check the Telguard programming configuration for proper operation
and proper communications format. The C/C MUST be programmed to use Contact
ID to report alarm signals.
5.4 STEP 4: 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 is required, then
external relays are needed to provide additional uncommitted contacts.
5.4.1 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

5.4.2 Check Telguard Supervisory Trip to C/C
After you have connected the STC trip outputs, check to be sure that they operate correctly.
5.4.2.1 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.
5.4.2.2 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 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 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 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
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 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 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 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 10VA AC transformer and check to see that the AC
POWER LED goes out and the STC LED 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 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.
5.5 STEP 5: COMPLETE THE TELGUARD INSTALLATION
Last step is to handle loose ends.
5.5.1 Check Settings
Check the jumper setting of J10 (LED mode, out = normal).
5.5.2 Permanently Mount and Properly Ground the Telguard Chassis
Attach earth ground to the green grounding screw located on lower left-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.
