Step 1: Register the Communicator

Register for Telguard service prior to going to the job site to avoid a second trip.
The desired features and programmable options for any installation are selected during the
registration process. This includes Mode of Operation, STC strategy, Trip-Input enabling, and added
value services like Standard Line Security and Link Supervision, when applicable.
Select the Mode of Operation
The TG-7 Cellular Series communicators offer three modes of operation:
•
Cellular primary/Telco backup
•
Telco primary/Cellular backup
•
Cellular only Sole Path
Selecting Cellular Only mode may require enabling other features to remain in UL/ULC compliance.
NOTE: When an alternate communications pathway is connected to another alarm panel DACT
interface (usually a Telco connection), the communicator can be used as either a Primary or
Secondary Path. In such cases, panel settings determine the whether the DACT connected to the
Telguard communicator or the DACT connected the alternate pathway will be used.
