Features

This section summarizes the key features of the Telguard TG-1 Express.

Operating Mode

The Telguard Digital TG-1 Express is a digital cellular transmission device
that is installed at the protected premises to provide primary alarm
transmission integrity for household burglary and fire systems.

Panel-Supplied Power

The Telguard TG-1 Express has an extremely low power profile, and as such
can usually be powered from the panel to which it is connected. At 30mA
(average consumption WHILE IDLE), the power required by the TG-1
Express is about the same as what is used by many keypads.

Simply connect the Auxiliary power output from any voltage compatible (6 –
16 VDC) panel to the DC input on the TG-1 Express. Using the panel to
provide power for the TG-1 Express allows for a simpler installation, and
eliminates the need for additional A/C outlets.

The installer shall verify that the control unit's alarm current is not exceeded
when a bell and the TG-1 Express are simultaneously connected. For panels
with very limited power capabilities Telguard recommends using a Telguard
TG-1B or TG-4 communicator, both of which utilize a battery backed-up A/C
power source separate from the panel.

Single Line Interface Cable (SLIC)

To further simplify installation, the TG-1 Express can be connected to the
panel power using pins 2 and 7 of the RJ-45 connector for Ground and Power
respectively. This allows the installer to connect both the communication path
as well as the power to the alarm panel using a single cable.

Multiple Alarm Format Support

The default program setting of the Telguard TG-1 Express is for Auto
Detection of the panel alarm format. The Auto Format Detect feature allows
the Telguard to adapt to receive any listed format on every alarm
