4.0 INSTALLATION SUMMARY

There are five steps in installing Telguard properly. IF YOU DO NOT PROCEED IN THE ORDER AND

MANNER PRESCRIBED, YOU MAY NOT COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION IN THE TIME

ALLOCATED. These five steps are summarized below and then explained in detail in the remainder of this

manual.

4.1 CONFIRM QUALITY OF SERVICE FOR VOICE CALLS

First, you will be confirming that Telguard's SIM Card is correctly installed into the unit and cellular service is activated.

This is the most important step in the installation, since the programming parameters contain all the necessary

information for successful communications. Also, you will confirm that Telguard has adequate cellular signal

strength and Quality of Service for voice.

4.2 TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER THE TELCO CONNECTION

Once you have confirmed that the unit is active and the voice quality is good, you will be ready to verify that

the C/C is programmed properly. This step is important to verify that the C/C is programmed with valid

account code and central station information before transmitting signals through the cellular network.

4.3 TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER THE CELLULAR RADIO NETWORK

Next, you will be connecting the C/C's digital dialer output to Telguard and verifying that alarm signals can be

reliably sent through Telguard over cellular to the central station digital receiver. The incoming Telco line is

not connected to Telguard during this step.

4.4 CONNECT SUPERVISORY TRIP OUTPUTS

Telguard's supervisory trip outputs are connected to the C/C and then tested.

4.5 COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

Your last step will be to check the jumper setting of J10 (LED mode, out = normal), attach earth ground, and

permanently mount the unit.
