APPENDIX A
SPECIFICATIONS
Transmission Format: Synchronous, full duplex
Transmission Line: Two unconditioned twisted pair 19 - 26 AWG
Range: (See table below)
Interfaces: EIA RS-232, CCITT V.24
Data Rates: 1200 - 19.2 Kbps
Isolation: Minimum 1500 V RMS via custom transformers
Surge Protection: 600W Surge Protection (10x1000µs waveform)
(Model 1020S)
Control Signals: CTS turns on 7 or 53 mS (switch selectable)
after the terminal raises RTS; DSR and DCD are constantly on
Connectors: DB-25 male or female on RS-232 side;
RJ-11, RJ-45 or terminal block with strain relief on line side
Power Supply: None required; uses power from EIA data and
control signals
Temperature Range: 0-60°C (32-140°F)
Altitude: 0-15,000 feet
Humidity: Up to 95% non-condensing
Weight: 2 oz.
Dimensions: 2.66” x 2.10” x 0.73”
10. BEND the top half of the case as necessary to place it over the
strain relief assembly. Do not snap the case together yet.
11. Insert one captive screw through a saddle washer and then
insert the entire piece through the hole in the DB-25 end of the
case. Snap that side of the case closed. Repeat the process
for the other side. This completes cable installation.
4.2 CONNECTION TO THE RS-232 INTERFACE
Once you have connected the twisted pair wires correctly, simply
plug the Model 1020 directly into the DB-25 port of the RS-232 device.
After doing so, remember to insert and tighten the two captive
connector screws.
(Note: If you must use a cable to connect the Model 1020 to the
RS-232 device, make sure it is a
straight through
cable of the shortest
possible length—we recommend 6 feet or less).
4.3 OPERATING THE MODEL 1020
Once the Model 1020 is properly configured and installed, it should
operate transparently—as if it were a standard cable connection.
Operating power is derived from the RS-232 data and control signals;
there is no “ON/OFF” switch. All data signals from the RS-232 interface
are passed straight through. All control signals from the RS-232
interface are looped back.
NOTE: If your system requires
hardware
flow control, you will
need the Patton Model 1030 or Model 1070 Short Range Modem.
