UL/ULC Commercial Fire Sole Path (Cellular Only Mode) Features
•
Link Supervision: If registering communicator to use cellular as the sole path of communications
for commercial fire applications, use the link supervision option in accordance with local
requirements (5-minute supervision or 60-minute supervision in the U.S., or 180-second
supervision in Canada).
•
End-to-End Acknowledgment feature: When enabled, an RFC condition will occur when an
acknowledgment to a message is not relayed from the Central Station as expected. This feature
must be enabled for installations in Canada.
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.
•
ACFC/LPF: Trips 2 hours (programmable for up to 24 hours) after low power failure is
detected. Restores 60 seconds after power is restored.
•
LBC: Trips within 60 seconds on low battery condition. Restores when battery voltage
12.1
VDC.
•
LFC: Trips after 60 seconds on Telco line fault condition (delay is programmable). Restores
60 seconds after Telco line restores .
•
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/ULC Compliance Note:
In fire systems, ACFC/LPF trigger must be set in the range of 1 to 3
hours in accordance with UL 864/ULC-S559. NSC delay must be 45 minutes or less in accordance
with UL 864 or 60 seconds or less in accordance with ULC-S559.
NOTE: When the TG-PEM accessory is used, it can be configured to use STC1. This TG-PEM
configuration will limit Telguard supervisory trip output options to STC2 only. The TG-PEM should
be used with either a fire system or burglary system; it should not be used in a combination
system.
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.
The message that is sent from the TCC to the Central Station is configurable in
The communicator will automatically be configured with a unit 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.
ULC Compliance Note:
The Swinger Function does not meet the requirements of burglary systems
in Canada and must be disabled (set to Off).
