2.7.1 LED Signal Strength Indication

The Telguard provides the installer with an easy to use LED radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) for

positioning the unit or remote antenna to obtain the strongest RF signal possible. A signal strength

reading can be obtained at any time there is power applied to the Telguard without affecting the

operation of the unit. When the “RSSI” jumper J10 is “SHORTED”, the Telguard displays the current

received signal strength within 5 seconds. The signal strength is read from bottom to top using the

four sequential LEDs located on the top right side of the printed circuit board with the Radio LED #5 =

1 and the STC LED #2 = 4. See Appendix A1.4 for RSSI table.

2.8 TELGUARD SETUP PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS

The Telguard will not operate until the unit is activated from the Telular Communication Center.

Certain Telguard operating parameters may need to be changed from the factory default programming by the

installer during installation. These setting include the STC supervisory trip input settings, CFC settings,

NSC/LFC trip delay time, and standby battery size. 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 Telular

Communication Center when the Telguard is activated.
