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 "
A
" carrier or "
B
"
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.

Once you have determined that the C/C can reliably transmit alarm signals over the cellular network, proceed
to Step 4.
