1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The Telguard is a cellular radio alarm transmission device, which is used to provide a backup transmission path (cellular) for control communicators (C/Cs) in case the primary transmission path (telco) is not available. When transmitting over cellular, Telguard obtains its data from the C/C by way of a telco interface.
the telco line is cut or the C/C is unable to communicate with the central station receiver due to busy telephone line circuits then Telguard transmits the alarm message over the cellular network. 2.2 C/C COMPATIBLE COMMUNICATION FORMATS The Telguard reads the C/C’s alarm messages and converts the C/C’s digital data format into Microburst packet data protocol for transmission over the cellular radio network.
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 a LFC or CFC has been declared and there is an alarm signal to communicate, the Telguard attempts to transmit its message via radio.
2.5 TELGUARD AUTOMATIC SELF-TEST REPORT The Telguard automatic self-test signal is originated by the Communication Center on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. When the time for an automatic self-test occurs, the Communication Center transmits a radio signal to the Telguard and the Telguard responds with a self-test radio signal that is received by the Communication Center and processed on to the central station, just as normal alarm signals are processed.
NOTE: For UL installations, all the above features must be enabled. The following system trouble features are embedded in the Telguard for tripping the STC relay and cannot be changed: • 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.
If default programming is correct or operating parameters are re-programmed into the Telguard, the installer calls the Telular IVR and follows the activation procedure to request an activation "ping". 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 TCC when the Telguard is activated.
2. Computer access via Telular's Intranet: Dealers may access their Telguard customer database via Telular's Intranet. The pertinent customer account information and serial number can be completed and submitted on-line. After an approval acknowledgement is issued, usually within 10-minutes, the Telguard is ready to install. 3.1 GETTING READY Before attempting to connect Telguard to the host C/C, please note the following: 1. Be sure your unit has cellular service activated. (See Section 3.0) 2.
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.
5.1 STEP 1: TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER THE TELCO CONNECTION Be sure the C/C is powered up and programmed so that it will transmit a simple alarm signal over the telco line through the RJ31X to the central station when not connected to the Telguard. In checking this, do not connect the host C/C or incoming telco line to the Telguard. INCOMING TELCO RJ31X PREMISE PHONES MAKE SURE HOST C/C IS PROGRAMMED AND WORKING THROUGH RJ31X BEFORE INSTALLING TELGUARD.
5.2 STEP 2: PROGRAM TELGUARD AND CONFIRM COMMUNICATIONS INTEGRITY Confirm that Telguard's programming parameters are correctly entered into the unit, cellular service is activated, and Telguard has adequate cellular signal-strength. This is the most important step in the installation, since the programming parameters contain all the necessary information for successful communications and good signalstrength insures performance reliability.

5.2.2 Connect Backup Battery and AC Power Transformer To apply power on model T100C001, connect the battery by attaching battery leads to terminals 3 () and 4 (+) noting polarity and program Telguard memory location 67 (see section 5.2.5) for proper battery capacity. Connect the Telguard AC power transformer to terminals 6 and 7 marked "AC 16.
5.2.4 Default Programming The Telguard default setup is pre-programmed at the factory. Default setup values are listed in Section 5.2.5 (Telguard Programming Data Sheet) and highlighted in "bold" type. Setup parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and retain their settings when power is removed from the unit. Review the default settings and record on the data sheet all changes that you make.
5.2.6 Setup & Programming When the Telguard is received from the factory and is powered up for the first time, it is immediately ready for activation after a 10-second delay, provided the default settings are what you want. The STC LED turns on steady and the STC relay is tripped. If changes to the default values are required, then the Telguard is re-programmed with a plain old telephone set (POTS) connected to J2 where the C/C is usually connected.
objects (such as water pipes or electrical conduit or air ducts) contained within the wall directly behind, above or below the Telguard's antenna. Never mount the Telguard on a metal surface or on a wall that contains metal material. 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.

and serial number are required to enter the TEST menu if the unit has already been activated. This feature is extremely helpful when troubleshooting intermittent problems such as NSC or LFC. MOVE ON Once you have completed the Telguard Programming Data Sheet, confirmed Telguard programming, received the "activation ping" from the Communication Center and have good signal-strength, move on to Step 3.
5.3 STEP 3: 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, do not connect the incoming telco line to the Telguard or connect the supervisory trip output (STC) to the C/C zone input.

5.3.2 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.
5.4 STEP 4: CONNECT TELCO LINE AND SUPERVISORY TRIP OUTPUT Now, you are ready to connect and test the incoming telco line and the supervisory trip output to the C/C. Also, you must check to be sure that there are no other phone devices connected in front, or in parallel, of the RJ31X.
