Patton's Model 531 units are easy to install and should give you years
of trouble-free service. Here are a few simple instructions to help you
get things hooked up right:
Standard Model 531 MF:
1. Unplug (disconnect) the existing connection between the coaxial
cable and the equipment I/O port.
2. Install the Model 531 between the incoming coax line and the
protected equipment (see below). Place the surge protector as
close as possible to the device being protected.
3. Connect the braided ground strap directly to a frame ground
connection on the protected device. If you are unsure where to
locate a frame ground connection on your equipment, consult the
equipment's user manual or contact the manufacturer—the ground
connection is critical for proper operation of the Model 531.
T-Splitter Model 531 MFF:
1. Remove the existing T-splitter from the Network Interface Card and
disconnect the coaxial cables.
