NPUT
When the input is tripped, a supervisory message is sent to the central station via the TCC. This
allows an external relay, separate from the alarm panel, to be connected to the Telguard unit in
order to provide independent sensor input for other functions, such as tamper detection.
The message that is sent from the TCC to the central station is configurable in Telguard Online.
The TG-4 unit will automatically be configured with a unit template that allows configuration of the
trip input feature, including the message that is sent to the central station. There is a default event
configured for each alarm format, so that if the Telguard is configured with the butt-set to send trip
input events to the TCC, a default notification will be sent to the central station. If the Telguard is
configured to report restorals, the contact closure will also be reported.

UNCTION
The swinger function is designed to reduce the incidence of excessive messaging and alarms due
to faulty equipment or installation. If enabled, the swinger function will discontinue sending trip input
messages to the TCC once 10 trip events are detected within a 10 minute period. The Telguard
device will resume sending trip input messages to the TCC after a 10 minute period without trip
events.

Temporarily place the Telguard unit near the alarm panel. Permanent mounting should only be done

Option 1: Backup Battery and AC Power Transformer
To apply power to the Telguard using this option, attach a battery to the battery connector (labeled
BATT) or to the 3-pin terminal block labeled (BATT - +). Backup battery must be sized appropriately
to meet installation requirements. Please make sure the battery wires are at least ¼ inch apart from
the other wiring in the system.
Connect the Telguard AC power transformer (see A3.2 for acceptable UL Listed transformers) to AC
terminals using stranded copper insulated wire following wire gauge and length recommendations
below:
Recommended Wire Size
Length Not to Exceed
18 ga
20 ft
16 ga
40 ft
14 ga
60 ft
Option 2: DC power
To apply DC power to Telguard from a host alarm panel, connect the panel power and ground
connections into the respective DC and GND connections on the TG-4. When using this option, no
other power connections (battery or AC) should be wired.
