QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
Installation Summary
There are seven 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.
STEP 1: REGISTER FOR CELLULAR SERVICE
Register the unit online through www.telguardonline.com, by
completing the Online Registration Form at www.Telguard.com. Telular
requires this information to activate the unit.
STEP 2: LOCATE UNIT AND MEASURE SIGNAL STRENGTH (RSSI)
First, you will be confirming that Telguard has adequate cellular signal strength. Press the LED
Mode Toggle button, LEDs will now indicate signal strength. Minimum recommended is 2 ½
(2 on solid and the third flashing). ). The LED Mode will reset to normal automatically after 10
minutes or after pressing the LED Mode Toggle button again.
STEP 3: TRANSMIT PANEL ALARMS OVER THE TELCO CONNECTION
Next, you will verify that the alarm panel is programmed properly. This step is important to
verify that the alarm panel is programmed with valid account code and central station
information before transmitting signals through the cellular network.
STEP 4: PROGRAM, ACTIVATE & TRANSMIT PANEL ALARMS OVER
THE CELLULAR RADIO NETWORK
Next, you will be connecting the alarm panel'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. A minimum of
two alarm signals must be transmitted. Activation is confirmed when LED 1 is illuminated.
(NOTE: THE FIRST ALARM WILL ACTIVATE THE UNIT AT THE TELULAR COMMUNICATION
CENTER, IT WILL NOT GO TO THE CENTRAL STATION, ALL SIGNALS AFTER THE FIRST ARE
SENT TO THE CENTRAL STATION)
STEP 5: CONNECT SUPERVISORY TRIP OUTPUTS
Next, you will wire Telguard's supervisory trip outputs to the alarm panel and then test.
STEP 6: CONNECT TRIP INPUT (OPTIONAL)
Optionally, you can wire an external relay input to the trip input lead and ground, and test.
STEP 7: COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION
Your last step will be to attach earth ground, and permanently mount the unit.

FAILED ACTIVATION – SIGNAL TOO WEAK
ACTIVATION ERROR – CALL TECH SUPPORT
NOT ACTIVATED. NEED TO CONNECT PANEL AND TRIP ZONE
When the Telguard is received from the factory and is powered up for the first time, it is immediately ready for activation, provided the default settings
are what you want (note: registration form must be sent to Telular). The STC LED # 2 will flash to indicate any failure conditions. The Mode LED # 3
will be on and the STC 1 and STC 2 relays will be tripped. If changes are required to the default settings, the Telguard can be programmed using a
line-mans butt-set connected to T & R Test Points or a POTS phone connected to the panel RJ-45 jack (black connector where the alarm panel is
normally connected).
TO PROGRAM THE Telguard TG-4
A. Put the line-mans butt-set in talk mode or pick up the POTS phone.
B. Connect power to the Telguard, when ready for programming you will hear 2 beeps.
C. Press #, *, this will put the Telguard into a Master Access programming mode, 2 beeps.
D. Enter changes required. The syntax for programming a specific memory location is as follows:
MEMORY LOCATION (3-digits), will respond with 2 beeps, then VALUE, will respond with 2 beeps.
E. Then press *, you will hear 2 beeps then hang up. This saves the change and exits the programming mode.
NOTE: SPECIAL LED INDICATIONS DURING ACTIVATION
If the Telguard fails to confirm activation it will be displayed on the LEDS:
On either a FAILED ACTIVATION or ACTIVATION ERROR, the unit MUST BE RESET BY PRESSING THE RSSI
BUTTON TWICE. The activation message MUST BE RESENT or the TELGUARD will transmit all signals through
the telco connection.
