Getting Ready

The Telguard can only be activated when all the necessary accounting information
has been entered into the customer database located at the TCC (i.e. the unit has
been registered). The database includes information about the customer account,
unit location, and system test plan information.

Dealer Account Establishment

A Dealer Account must be established prior to registration of any Telguard unit.
This can be accomplished by visiting

www.telguard.com

and completing the necessary

information under “Dealer Signup”. This is a one-time event and an acknowledgment
from Telguard Customer Service will include a Dealer Account Number that will be
used for all Telguard Digital registrations.

Telguards are available for

registration and activation once the 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:

Telguard Cellular Communicator

UL Listed plug-in transformer

Cellular Antenna

Rechargeable 12V battery

Pluggable screw terminal blocks (2, 3 & 6 position)

Quick Install Guide

Registration Form

Note: The Telguard registration must be completed in advance to avoid installation delays

You must also have certain installation test tools:

Screws and a screwdriver will be required to attach the Telguard to the wall.

In order to connect the STC relay outputs and trip input to the alarm panel,
solid or stranded electrical wire will be required. The terminal strips can
accommodate solid or stranded wire from 14 to 22 gauge in size.

A standard telephone or lineman's butt-set is recommended for verifying
communication between the panel and the Telguard.
