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. The

Radio TX

LED flashes quickly when the Telguard microprocessor is communicating with the radio and

provides a long flash (approximately 1 second) when the radio is in communication with the cellular

network.

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.

♦

Try resetting the Telguard by powering the unit down then back up again.

♦

Call Telular Technical Service, 800-229-2326, and request the Communication Center operator

to check the Telguard programming configuration for proper operation on "

" carrier or "

carrier and

proper communications format

. The Telguard

MUST

be programmed to use the

SAME FORMAT

that the C/C is using (e.g. 3+1, 4+2, etc.,) to report alarm signals.

OVE

Once you have determined that the C/C can reliably transmit alarm signals over the cellular network, proceed

to Step 4.
