INSTALLATION NOTE













1.00 GENERAL

1.01 The TII 5100 Series Network Interface Device

(NID) provides an environmentally sealed
demarcation point between the telephone
service provider network and the subscriber’s
telephone wires. The NID may contain gel
sealed station protectors (TII Angle Drivers), or
other primary station protectors like TII 356, TII
127, etc., and sealed subscriber bridges (TII 95
Series). These primary surge protection
modules provide primary electrical protection
for subscribers. The TII 95 Series provides
subscriber connections and a demarcation test
access point.

1.02 Each Angle Driver module can connect one

pair of 18-24 AWG (1.02-0.51mm) central office
(c.o.) wire and two pair of 22-26 AWG (0.65-
0.4mm) subscriber bridge wires. Each can
make up to four subscriber extension lines
connections which will automatically disconnect
when the customer uses the RJ-11 port for
testing. Connections are created with insulation
displacement connection (IDC) blades and are
environmentally sealed.

1.03 The NID’s housing is constructed from rugged,

heat and solvent resistant, UV stabilized
materials.

2.00 CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

• Use company-approved safety practices and

equipment.

• Only solid conductors can be used for

connecting to the Angel Driver and the TII 95S
Series Subscriber Bridges; Do Not Use
Stranded Wire.

• Stranded or solid wires can be used on binding

post termination primary protectors.

• Do not strip insulation from conductors when

terminating to an IDC connector.

• If the hook up wire, OSP wire, or central office

cable is physically larger than 22 AWG, a fusing
conductor of 22 AWG or smaller solid copper
wire with thermoplastic insulation must be used.
Install the fuse link per local practices and
approval agencies.

• This installation note may be used for binding

post terminating primary protectors

3.00 INSTALLATION

3.01 Open the front cover for easier access to the

mounting tabs (Figure 1).

3.02 To mount to wooden pole or wall, install two

screws through the slots in the housing
mounting tabs. Secure them to the required
service.

 

Prepare and Route Cables, Grounding 

3.03 Route the central office (c.o.) wire into the

housing through the left grommet.

3.04 Remove the outer sheath from cable, exposing

conductors.

3.05 Secure the c.o. wire in place by installing a tie

wrap through the slotted clamp below the
grommet. Tighten the tie wrap to secure the
cable to the slotted clamp.

3.06 If the cable is shielded, remove 1” of sheath

and attach the ground lug to the shield.

3.07 Route the subscriber wire into the housing

through the right grommet.

3.08 Strip the outer jacket insulation from the

subscriber wire, exposing the insulated
conductors.

3.09 Secure the subscriber wire in place by installing

a tie wrap through the slotted clamp below the
grommet. Tighten the tie wrap to secure the
wire to the slotted clamp.
