Decide on a STC Trip Output Strategy
The communicator provides the host alarm panel with two supervisory trip outputs for reporting a
Telguard system trouble code to the central station. The supervisory trip outputs are
programmable to suit various installation requirements. The programming options for these
supervisory trip outputs can be any combination of the following:
•
Always Off: Disables all relay supervisory functions.
•
LPF: Trips two hours after low power failure is detected. Restores 60 seconds after power
is restored.
•
NSC: Trips after a 60-second delay (delay is programmable) on no service condition due to
loss of RF signal strength. Restores after RF signal strength is available.
•
RFC: Trips on radio failure to communicate with the TCC. Restores after 10 minutes.
UL Compliance Note:
NSC delay must be 3 minutes or less in accordance with UL 864.
ULC Compliance Note:
NSC delay must be 60 seconds or less in accordance with ULC-S559.
Optional Trip Input
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 communicator 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
The communicator will automatically be configured with a template that allows configuration of the
trip input feature, including the message that is sent to the central station. If the communicator is
configured to report restorals, the contact closure will also be reported.
Swinger Function
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 communicator
will resume sending trip input messages to the TCC after a 10-minute period without trip events.
Step 2: Physically Install the TG-7FP in Desired Location
Identify Location for Placing the TG-7FP Device and Mount
Do not install the communicator in an area where the general public could reasonably be within
20cm (8 inches) of the antenna.
NOTE 1: Optimum RF performance can usually be found at the highest point within a building
with the fewest number of walls between the communicator
premises.
NOTE 2: To avoid interference with other electronic devices operating in the area, avoid
mounting the communicator s antenna near other electronic devices.
NOTE 3: The communicator dipole antenna is designed for indoor installations only.
Prior to mounting, determine how you will make all power and signal connections. There are three
available knockouts on the TG-
rs. Punch out the
needed knockouts by placing a screwdriver in the center of the knockout and strike the screwdriver
with a hammer. Conduit hubs must be connected to the conduit before the hub is connected to the
enclosure.
