In addition, the data also contains historical data for supervisory events that occurred since the last self-test
signal was transmitted. This data includes the number of occurrences of AC fail conditions, low battery
conditions, line fault conditions, communications failure conditions and no cellular service conditions.
2.5.1 Telguard Remote Query Capability
Although Telguard has the capability for a daily, weekly, or monthly automatic self-test,
a separate feature is provided for determining the current operational status of every
Telguard. This feature is called Remote Query and is used to provide real-time
operational status for Telguard on-demand. It is useful in resolving STC events that are
reported by the C/C to the central station. Authorized personnel can initiate the Remote
Query at any time by calling Customer Service. The Remote Query causes Telguard to
upload current operational status data and historical data, just as the automatic self-test
described above, except that the query signal is controlled by the one who initiates it.
The query signal is held in the Telguard database at the Communication Center for
review and is not forwarded on to the central station.
2.6 TELGUARD TERMINAL STRIP CONNECTIONS
The conveniently located terminal strip provides wiring connections for the Telguard supervisory trip
outputs, battery leads for connecting to a 12 volt 4.0Ah, or 7.0AH rechargeable battery (battery leads are
permanently connected directly to mother board), and AC power. The terminal strip can accommodate
solid or stranded wire sizes from 14 gauge to 30 gauge.
2.6.1 Programmable Supervisory Trip Outputs (STC1 and STC2)
Relays
The Telguard has two supervisory relay trip outputs (STC1 and STC2) and are energized
in a powered up state when no system troubles exist. It enables a supervisory trouble
code to be transmitted to the central station when connected to a C/C’s 24-hour instant
input zone. The STC relays are programmable, using a standard touch-tone telephone or
buttset, to meet virtually any installation requirement.
The following supervisory features or combination of features are programmable to trip
the STC relays in order to meet a variety of installation requirements:
• Always Off.
• Trips on AC fail condition (ACFC)
• Trips on low or missing battery condition (LBC).
• Trips on line fault condition (LFC).
• Trips on no service condition (NSC).
• Trips on radio communication failure condition (RFC).
The following system trouble features are embedded in the Telguard for tripping the STC
relay and cannot be changed:
• Tripped when unit is not registered with the TCC
• 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.
