QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE

Installation Summary

There are six 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

Complete the Activation Form online at www.Telguard.com or fax
the form to Telular Cellular Service prior to leaving for the job site.
Telular requires this information to register and activate the unit.

STEP 2: LOCATE UNIT AND MEASURE SIGNAL STRENGTH (RSSI)

Second, you will be confirming that Telguard has adequate cellular signal
strength. Put J10 across both pins, LEDS will now indicate signal strength,
minimum recommended is 2 ½ (2 on solid and the third flashing).

STEP 3: TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER THE TELCO CONNECTION

Connect C/C and telco line to the Telguard. Trip a simple alarm on the C/C
and transmit over the telco line. 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.

STEP 4: PROGRAM, ACTIVATE & TRANSMIT C/C ALARMS OVER

THE

CELLULAR RADIO NETWORK

Next, you will be programming the Telguard unless the default settings are
what you want. Then connect the C/C's digital dialer output to Telguard and
verify that alarm signals can be reliably sent 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.

(NOTE:

THE FIRST ALARM WILL CONFIRM REGISTRATION AND

ACTIVATE THE UNIT WITH THE

TELULAR COMMUNICATION CENTER.

IT WILL NOT

BE TRANSMITTED 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 C/C and then test.

STEP 6: COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

Your last step will be to check the jumper setting of J10 (LED mode, open =
normal), attach earth ground, and permanently mount the unit.

Setup & Programming the Operating Parameters in the Telguard

When the Telguard is received from the factory and is powered up for the first time, it is immediately ready to confirm
registration & activate, provided the default settings are what you want (Note: Activation Form must be sent to Telular
prior to activation). The STC LED #2 will flash to indicate any failure conditions. The yellow MODE LED #3 will be on
and the STC relay 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 J7 (black connector where
the C/C is normally connected).

TO PROGRAM THE TELGUARD

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 LOC. (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 registration it will be displayed on the LEDS:

SYSTEM STATUS LEDS REGISTRATION INDICATIONS

ALL LEDS FLASHING FAILED REGISTRATION – SIGNAL TOO WEAK
LED #1 & LED #4 FLASHING REGISTRATION ERROR – CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT

On either a FAILED or REGISTRATION ERROR, the unit MUST BE RESET by putting the J10
(RSSI jumper) in the “SHORTED” position. The registration MESSAGE MUST BE RESENT or
the TELGUARD will transmit all signals through the telco connection
