Features
This section summarizes the key features of the Telguard TG-7FP.
Operating Mode
The TG-7FP communicator is a sole path cellular Data/SMS transmission device that is installed at
the protected premises to provide alarm transmission for fire and/or burglary alarm systems over
the applicable cellular network where there is no wireline service available. The TG-7FP can also be
used as either a Primary or Secondary Path device when an alternate communications path is
connected to another alarm panel DACT interface. In such cases, the panel determines the alarm
reporting path.
Multiple Alarm Format Support
The Telguard TG-7FP supports multiple alarm communication formats.
NOTE: The communicator
program setting is for auto detection of the panel alarm format.
Auto Format Detect feature allows the communicator to adapt to receive any listed format. If the alarm
format is changed for any reason, the communicator will adjust to accept the new format.
See Appendix 1 for a list of compatible alarm formats and compliance requirements.
Complete Supervision of Communication Path
The communicator continuously supervises the cellular communication path. If communication path
becomes inoperative, the communicator can generate a relay trip output that can be connected to a
zone input of the host alarm panel and/or used to control remote annunciation devices.
No Service Condition (NSC)
A no service condition (NSC) occurs when the TG-7FP is unable to register with the cellular network.
NSC can be configured to trip the supervisory relay output (STC relay) after a programmable period
of time. The STC LED will flash 4 times immediately after losing cellular service and dial-tone will
cease to be provided, independent of the STC assertion and programmed assertion delay. NSC
restoral occurs immediately after cellular service has been acquired.
Radio Communications Failure Condition (RFC)
Radio communications failure condition (RFC) occurs when the communicator is unable to transmit
over the cellular network even with acceptable signal strength. When RFC is declared, the STC LED
will flash 5 times, dial-tone will cease, and the STC relay will trip as programmed. Restoral of this
condition occurs after 10 minutes or when a message is received from the TCC.
NOTE: When End-to-End acknowledgement feature is enabled, a message that fails to deliver to
the Central Station will trigger an RFC condition.
