alarm panel normally uses for communication over the Telco line. The self-test code and testing
frequency are set during registration and can accommodate any code the Central Station expects.
The TCC captures all current and historical data pertaining to the operation of the communicator
when it processes the automatic self-test signal. This data contains current operational status (C.O.S.)
of the communicator such as "All OK", "AC fail condition", "low/missing battery condition", or any
combination of identified trouble conditions as well as the current cellular signal strength. In addition,
the data also contains historical data for supervisory events that occurred since the last self-test or
Check Status report signal was transmitted. This data includes the number of occurrences of AC fail
conditions, low battery conditions, line fault conditions, and no cellular service conditions. This
additional information is available by visiting
(dealer log-in credentials required).
Although the communicator has the capability for an automatic periodic self-test, a separate feature is
provided for determining the current operational status of every Telguard communicator. This feature
is called Check Status and is used to provide real-time operational status for the communicator on-
demand. It is useful in resolving STC events that are reported by the alarm panel to the Central
Station. Check Status is available via
Check Status causes the communicator to upload current operational status data and historical data,
just as the automatic self-test described above, except that the resulting status is held in the Telguard
database at the TCC for review and is not forwarded to the Central Station.
Programmable Supervisory Trip Output (STC) Relays
The communicator has two supervisory relay trip outputs available (STC1 normally open and STC2
normally closed) and both are energized in a powered-up state when no system troubles exist. This
enables a supervisory trouble code to be transmitted to the Central Station when connected to an
-hour instant input zone. The trouble conditions that trigger the STC relays are
(dealer log-in required) to meet virtually any installation requirement.
Note: If using a supervised zone to monitor for the STC relay, please make sure that you follow
resistance requirements of the alarm panel for supervision. Refer to manual supplied with the
panel for further guidance
.
The following supervisory features or combination of features are programmable to trip the STC
relays in order to meet a variety of installation requirements:
•
AC Failure Condition (ACFC) or Low Power Failure condition (LPF)
•
Low or missing Battery Condition (LBC)
•
No Service Condition (NSC)
•
Radio Failure Condition (RFC)
•
Line Fault Condition (LFC)
The following system trouble features are embedded in the communicator for tripping the STC relays
and cannot be changed:
•
Dial Tone Failure (DTF):
insufficient voltage on connection to panel DACT
•
Communicator not activated at TCC:
communicator requires activation for use
•
Catastrophic Failure (CF):
all power is lost
•
Transmit Disable command received from TCC:
used when a runaway dialer situation is
detected or by Customer Service
UL/ULC Compliance Notes:
•
In Fire installations, STC2 (normally closed) cannot be used for communicating with the
alarm panel; only STC1 (normally open) can be used.
ULC Compliance Notes:
•
For Commercial Burglary installations, STC1 shall be connected to the panel's 24hr zone
and shall be designated only as Low Power Condition. Other failure conditions shall be
triggered through STC2 and shall be treated as general trouble conditions.
•
For Commercial Burglary installations which use the optional TG-PEM accessory, consult
the TG-PEM Manual for the configuration of STC1.
