NOTICES ABOUT THIS M ANUAL This manual assumes that you have basic security system installation skills such as measuring voltages, stripping wire, properly connecting wires together, connecting wires to terminals, and checking phone lines. It also assumes that you have a familiarity with the proper installation and programming tasks related to various Control/Communicator panels. The material and instructions covered in this manual have been carefully checked for accuracy and are presumed to be reliable.
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.
PART 68 This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Located on the inside of the hinged door of Telguard models T200C001 and T300C001 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.
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 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.
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 (note: UL Listed installations require a daily self-test).
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.
1. Be sure your unit has cellular service activated. (See Section 3.0) 2. 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 (Model T200C001 in standard metal enclosure, or Model T300C001 in attack enclosure with tamper switch). " 16.5 VAC, 20 VA UL Listed plug-in transformer (Revere, P/N: RT-1620SL).
4.4 CONNECT TELCO LINE AND SUPERVISORY TRIP OUTPUT Once alarms are being successfully transmitted over cellular by the C/C, you will be ready to connect Telguard to the incoming phone line at the RJ31X and check that it properly switches to and from cellular upon telco restoral and telco line fault. Telguard's supervisory trip output (normally open) is connected to a 24-hour zone of the C/C and then tested.
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. INCOMING TELCO RJ31X PREMISE PHONES SEE APPENDICES A1.
5.2.2 Connect Backup Battery and AC Power Transformer To apply power on models T200C001 or T300C001 attach 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.
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.

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, and serial number are required to enter the TEST menu if the unit has already been activated.
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. BE SURE TELGUARD IS FIRST DEVICE ON INCOMING PHONE LINE TO PREVENT PHANTOM TRIPPING. INCOMING TELCO RJ31X PREMISE PHONES SEE APPENDICES A1.1 THROUGH A1.
