2.7.1 LED Signal Strength Indication
The Telguard provides the installer with an easy to use LED radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) for
positioning the unit or remote antenna to obtain the strongest RF signal possible. A signal strength
reading can be obtained at any time there is power applied to the Telguard without affecting the
operation of the unit. When the “RSSI” jumper J10 is “SHORTED”, the Telguard displays the current
received signal strength within 5 seconds. The signal strength is read from bottom to top using the four
sequential LEDs located on the top right side of the printed circuit board with the Radio LED #5 = 1 and
the STC LED #2 = 4. See Appendix A1.4 for RSSI table.
2.8 TELGUARD SETUP PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS
The Telguard will not operate until the unit is activated from the Telular Communication Center. Certain
Telguard operating parameters may need to be changed from the factory default programming by the installer
during installation in order to have the Communication Center process alarm signals to the central station. These
setting include the STC supervisory trip input settings, CFC settings, and NSC/LFC trip delay time. The
Communication Center responds with a radio acknowledgement to the Telguard clearing the STC condition and
allowing the Telguard to operate over the cellular radio network. The programmed parameters are transmitted
automatically to the Telular Communication Center when the Telguard is activated.
