*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.
5.2.8.1 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: 1F01A001 ).
Magnetic Mount 5-dB gain Antenna with 12ft. Cable:
The 5dB magnetic mount antenna
comes with 12 feet of cable (Telular model no: 1F01A003 ).
NOTE: After determining the best signal strength location for the antenna, set the
RSSI jumper J5 "OUT" to return to normal operating mode. If the “RSSI”
jumper is inadvertently left "IN", Telguard will still operate normally.
5.2.9 Request Telguard Activation "PING" from Telular's IVR
When you are ready to install and test the Telguard, call Telular's IVR (

number, 1-888-TELULAR (1-888-835-8527)
.
The automated system will ask you for the following
information: (
All information must be supplied correctly
)
Reminder!!! The Activation form must be faxed to the Telular Communication Center (fax:
678-945-1651) and entered into the database before this step can occur.
a) Dealer number?
b) Tech number?
c) Telguard Serial Number? Or, Confirmation Number if the Serial Number has not been
previously submitted on the Activation Form.
d) New Telguard programming/reprogramming or Requesting Status Report? (Select the
programming menu.)
After you have programmed the Telguard, entered the correct Dealer, Tech, Telguard Serial number
(or Confirmation Number), and selected "yes" for new install or reprogram on the menu, a radio
"
activation ping
" will be generated from the Communication Center to the Telguard. This activates
the Telguard and allows the Telguard to communicate over the cellular network. A successful
"ping" causes the red
STC
LED to turn off. Additionally, if the Telguard is programmed to monitor
LFC, then the
STC
LED will begin to flash 3 times indicating a telco line fault condition since there
is no telco line connected to J1 at this time. Also, the yellow Mode LED will turn on and if AC
power is connected, the green AC power LED will turn on.
Now, combined with other data previously submitted with the activation information such as
automatic self-test data, the communication center is able to process alarm signals from the host C/C
to the alarm monitoring station.
Note to Installers:
The Telguard must be powered-up with antenna connected in order to receive
the "
activation ping
". Also, the Telular IVR system will allow you to enter a TEST menu to access
the Telguard's operational history (e.g., number of occurrences of ACFC, LBC, LFC, and NSC since
the last self-test transmission to the communication center). Only the Dealer number, Tech number,
