Telguard Automatic Self-Test Report
The automatic self-test signal schedule is programmable as prescribed when the communicator is
registered. The central station receives the automatic self-test report in the same format that the
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" or any combination of identified trouble conditions as
well as the current 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
additional information is available by visiting
required).
Telguard Check Status Capability
Although the communicator has the capability for an automatic 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
database at the TCC for review and is not forwarded on 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). 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
programmable via the dealer portal,
, to meet 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:
•
Low Power Failure condition (LPF)
•
No Service Condition (NSC)
•
Radio Failure Condition (RFC)
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, for example
