TID-1
Telecom Interface Device
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TID-1 telephone interface device is a low-cost telephone line termination and protection device that provides additional surge protection against transient voltage that may affect the inner wirings of a home or business. Convenient and easy, the connection of an electric meter’s modem to the telephone line is simple.
It provides four terminals for standard phone line interface to a modular phone jack (Tip and Ring 1, and Tip and Ring 2) plus ground.
The TID-1 features a NEMA 3R PVC enclosure and offers excellent electrical insulation. In addition, the TID-1 provides transient voltage surge suppression to protect the meter’s modem from lightning or other electrical disturbances that may affect the telephone line inside the home or business. A number of mounting options are available (listed below) and a gasketed lid ensures that the circuit inside remains dry and clean.
