The Telguard automatic self-test signal can be programmed to a daily, weekly or monthly schedule as prescribed by contract. The central station receives the automatic self-test report in the same format that the alarm panel normally uses for communication over theTelco line. The self-test code and testing frequency a reset during registration, and can accommodate any code the Central Station expects.
The TCC captures all current and historical data pertaining to the operation of the Telguard TG-1 Express when it processes the automatic self-test signal. This data contains current operational status (C.O.S.) of the Telguard TG-1 Express such as “All OK”, current trip input status, or any combination of the system trouble conditions, as well as the current signal strength. In addition, the data also contains historical data for supervisory events that occurred since the last self-test signal was transmitted. This data includes the number of occurrences of communications failure conditions and no cellular service conditions.
