After decoding and reformatting, the alarm signal is routed to the appropriate alarm company monitoring station for action. In a typical alarm installation, the Telguard is installed in the same area as the Household alarm panel and is connected directly to the Household alarm panel via Telguard's RJ-45 jack.
If the alarm panel’s format is changed for whatever reason, the Telguard will adjust to accept the new format. In order for the alarm panel to be compatible with the Telguard, the alarm panel must be programmed to transmit alarm messages to the central station using one of the following non-extended formats: ...
(106 VAC), the AC Power LED turns on immediately and the STC trip output restores after 60 seconds. Note: If the Telguard is being powered through its DC connection, a Low Power Failure (LPF) will occur if the DC power drops below 5.1VDC and restore after reaching >5.6VDC.
Trips on transmit-disable command from the TCC. This radio command disables only the Telguard transmitter and would be used, for example, to shut down the Telguard unit due to a runaway dialer. Diagnostic and Status LEDs Six active LEDs are provided as a useful aid during installation and give installers an immediate visual indication of system status.
Telguard and the Telguard will operate normally. The Telguard‘s operational range is 6.2V - 16V DC. Note: When using DC power, the Telguard should not be connected to a battery or AC power source. Because there is no AC connection, the AC LED will be OFF when operating in DC mode.
Dealer Account has been established. Pre-Installation Checklist Before attempting to connect the Telguard to the alarm panel, please make sure you have all the proper parts before you go to the job site. The following items are shipped with each Telguard: ...

Do not install the Telguard in an area where the general public could reasonably be within 20cm (8 inches) of the antenna. NOTE 1: Optimum RF performance can usually be found at the highest point within a building with the fewest number of walls between the Telguard unit’s antenna and the outside of the premises.
If the Telguard fails the activation process, it will be displayed on the LEDs. If LED 1 and LED 4 are flashing, the Telguard has failed activation. The serial number is not in the database at the TCC. Clear the fault (see note below) and call Telguard Technical Support to verify proper registration before resending an alarm signal.
Use a lineman's butt-set in MONITOR MODE connected to Telguard's "T" and "R" test pins to "listen" to communications between the alarm panel and the Telguard. If you are having problems getting reliable alarm signal transmissions, additional adjustments may be necessary.
When the trip input functionality is being used, closing the trip contact will cause the Telguard to send a message to the TCC, which in turn will cause the TCC to send a message to the central station. If the Telguard is configured to report restorals, the contact opening will also be reported.
