The UL Listed equipment at the TCC plays a key role in the operation of every Telguard device.  All 
Telguard units utilize the TCC due to the panel alarm signal format encoding and decoding 
requirements used in packet-data transmissions.  The TCC also manages the real-time databases for 
Telguard 
conditions include programming setup information, alarm transmission information, supervisory 
trouble information, Check Status information, and automatic self-test information.  

TG-7 Dual Path Series communicators come in several versions configured to work either with the 
AT&T or Verizon networks:

NOTE: TG-7 Dual Path Series communicators can be used as either a Primary or Secondary Path 
device when an alternate communications path is connected to another alarm panel DACT 
connection.  In such cases, the panel determines the alarm reporting path. 

NOTE: While working in Canada, the communicator may use Rogers Wireless, Bell Mobility, Telus, 
or SaskTel cellular networks.
