AC Power Line Surge Suppressor

The TII Model 428 Self-Restoring Powerline Surge Suppressor (PEC 8310-001, Comcode 402988950) protects against electrical surges, spikes, and transients that can cause damage to the System 25 power supply. A pilot light indicates that full protection is present. The unit plugs directly into a standard 120-volt 15-amp grounded outlet, providing a dual outlet to protected equipment.

346	Modular Bulk Power Supply
The	346 Modular Bulk Power Supply (346 MBPS) is	a	cost effective and flexible alternative
to the KS-22911 power supply. The 346 MBPS can		be	used where the wall outlet mounted

KS-22911 cannot be used (Canada) or where multiples units are required. The 346 MBPS consists of the 346A Power Unit (346A PU) and the 346A1 Power Panel, that is the sole method of mounting the power units. Up to three 346A PUS can be mounted per power panel. Each PU is capable of powering four terminals with adjuncts, for a total of twelve terminals per full MBPS. The 346 MBPS is intended to be installed in a closet and should be near the SIP. All connections are modular and are made with cords and adapters at the 858A Adapter of the SIP. Terminals and the Selector Console can be powered by the 346 MBPS. Refer to Figure 4-27for a typical use of the MBPS.

Connectivity

System 25 requires four-pair building wiring that conforms to AT&T Premises Distribution System (PDS) specifications. Various cords, cables, adapters, and connecting blocks are used to facilitate the connection of equipment and associated cable and wire.

Major points of connectivity include the following:

●The system cross-connect field located on a wall adjacent to the system cabinets. The field provides mounting space for the Trunk Access Equipment (TAE), Station Interconnect Panels (SIPS), and Emergency Transfer Units (ETUs).

Refer to Section 5, “Environmental Requirements” for a typical System 25 layout including cross-connect field and associated equipment layout.

● 25-pair connectors located on the rear of each system cabinet

● Modular	jacks located at	each work station	provide modular	connections	for

connected	by building wiring	to the SIP. Several	wiring options are	described below.

Wiring Options: There are three basic PECs under which building (station) wiring is ordered:

●The 2772 (-JA1, JA2, or JC1) PECs cover new, reuse and (new) plenum wiring,

respectively. These PECs apply on a per wire-run basis.

● PEC 2771-JDX covers wiring on a time and materials.

●PEC 2773-JDX covers wiring based on a PCS quote.

Consult the 2770-section of the Sales Manual for restrictions and requirements before ordering.

Trunk Access Equipment (TAE)

The TAE (Figure 4-18)provides for the connection of communications facilities such as Tie, Ground Start, Loop Start, and DID trunks, to the trunk ports of the system. Up to three
