16.5 VAC, 20 VA UL Listed plug-in transformer (Revere, P/N: RT-1620SL).
Note: The 20 VA transformer is required for proper operation since the Telguard is
capable of transmitting at 3 watts of output power. Do not use the C/C power
transformer to provide AC power to the Telguard.
"
Antenna: Magnetic-mount 3dB-gain antenna with 12ft. cable for T200C001 or 5dB-gain antenna for
T300C001.

3. 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.
•
Optimal signal strength is determined by placing the unit where the most LEDs (up to four) are
lighted when using Telguard's on-board Signal Strength Indicator feature so that the unit can be
easily placed during installation where signal strength is greatest.
NOTE: Your unit may be subject to airtime charges for unintended use. Telular offers several cellular
service rate plans. Check the Activation and Programming form that was shipped with your unit
or call us to determine what rate plan each unit is operating under.
