5.0 INSTALLATION
The Patton Model 515 is simple to install and requires no user
configuration. Follow these installation steps.
1. Disconnect the DB-15 data cable from the device you are
protecting in a manner consistent with the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
2. Be sure the metal D-15 connector on the device you are
protecting is connected to frame ground. If not, contact Patton
Technical Support for further instructions.
3. Plug the DB-15 connector of the Model 515 directly into
the DB-15 Serial port of the device you are protecting. Use of
a serial cable reduces the effectiveness of the protection you
would otherwise receive.
4. Re-attach the DB-15 cable to the available DB-15 connector on
the Model 515. The Model 515 is now inserted between the
data port and the data cable, and will provide up to 1500 Watts
of protection to the data port.
Note: We recommend that a Patton surge protector be
connected to the other end of the data cable as well.
