Dialog Telephone Interface Module Installation Instructions
1. With the cover off, place the DTIM at the desired location and mark the mounting holes (see
Figure 3).
Figure 3. Mounting Hole Locations
2. Make holes in the wall for anchors at the marked locations.
3. Insert wall anchors where necessary, then use two #6 screws to secure the DTIM to the wall.
Wiring a Phone Line to the Module
Connect the DTIM ahead (or in front) of all other phones, answering machines, computers, or any
other devices on the phone line. This allows the DTIM to take over (seize) the phone line, even if
another device on the line is in use.
Note
For UL Listed systems, the
RJ-31X jack must be
mounted within 5 feet of the
DTIM.
An RJ-31X (CA-38A) jack should be installed when wiring for full line seizure. This lets the user
quickly and easily disconnect the DTIM from the phone line in case the DTIM disables the phone
line due to a malfunction.
1. Run a 4-conductor cable from the TELCO block to the RJ-31X (A in Figure 4).
2. Connect the 4-conductor cable wires to the RJ-31X (B in Figure 4).
3. Disconnect the Green and Red premises phone jack wires from the TELCO block and splice
them to the 4-conductor cable Black and White (or Yellow) wires (C in Figure 4). Use weath-
erproof wire connectors for these splices.
4. Connect the 4-conductor cable Green wire to the TELCO block TIP (+) post and connect the
Red wire to the TELCO block RING (-) post (D in Figure 4).
