3.0  INSTALLATION

Patton's Model 532S  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.

1.  Unplug (disconnect) the existing connection between the network

cable and the equipment’s I/O port.

2.  Install the Model 532S between the incoming network cable and

the protected equipment using the 6” (15.24cm) modular patch
cable (supplied).  Place the surge protector as close as possible to
the device being protected.

3.  Connect the braided ground strap directly to a chassis ground

connection on the protected device.  If you are unsure where to
locate a chassis 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 532S.
