Panel-Supplied Power
The Telguard TG-1 Express has an extremely low power profile, and as
such can usually be powered from the panel to which it is connected.
At 45mA (average consumption WHILE IDLE), the power required by
the TG-1 Express is about the same as that is used by many keypads.
Simply connect the Auxiliary power output from any voltage
compatible (6.2V to 17V) panel to the DC input on the TG-1Express.
Using the panel to provide power for the TG-1 Express allows for a
simpler installation, and eliminates the need for additional A/C outlets.
The installer shall verify that the control unit's alarm current is not
exceeded when a bell and the TG-1 Express are simultaneously
connected.
For panels with very limited power capabilities, a Telguard
TG-1 or TG-4 communicator should be used, both of which utilize a
battery backed-up A/C power source, separate from the panel.
Single Line Interface Cable (SLIC)
To further simplify installation, the TG-1 Express can be connected to
the panel power using pins 2 and 7 of the RJ-45 connector for Ground
and Power respectively. This allows the installer to connect both the
communication path as well as the power to the alarm panel using a
single cable.
Multiple Alarm Format Support
The default program setting of the Telguard TG-1 Express is for Auto
Detection of the panel alarm format. The Auto Format Detect feature
allows the Telguard to adapt to receive any listed format on every
alarm transmission. If the alarm format is changed for whatever
reason, the Telguard will sense the new format and accept the alarm
signal.
In order for the host alarm panel to be compatible with the Telguard,
the panel must be programmed to transmit alarm messages to the
central station using one of the following non-extended formats:
