3.0 INSTALLATION
Patton's Model 536S 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 536S 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 536S.

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The potential threats to your Token Ring network are vast:
lightning, AC power induction, electrostatic discharge, ground potential
differences, EMI/RFI interference and more. The Patton Model 536S
has been designed to greatly reduce these risks. Just attach one unit
to each of your 802.5 Token Ring devices and rest easy.
1.2 CE NOTICE
The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates
that it is in compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
directive and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the Union European
(EU). A Certificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical
Support.
The Model 536S connects directly between your shielded or
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cables and respective I/O ports.
By shunting all threatening voltages to the chassis ground, the Model
536S insures the integrity of the data in your LAN and protects
connected equipment from damage. Using a solid state design and
sophisticated multistage hybrid circuits, these units can operate at
speeds of 4 or 16 Mbps. Grounding is accomplished via an external
ground strap that provides a separate unit-ground to chassis-ground
connection. In addition, the wire shield is connected directly to chassis
ground (when shielded modular plugs are used).
Warning
: This product will not provide complete protection should your
equipment or building be subject to a direct lightning hit.
