FEATURES
Guards N-type Ethernet ports against transient surges
Provides 1.5 Kilowatts of surge handling capacity
Conforms to the IEEE 802.3 specification
Operates at data rates to 10 Mbps
Provides separate connection to chassis ground for surge handling
Easy to install
DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 530 thick Ethernet surge protector guards N-type
Ethernet ports and connected equipment against data loss and
hardware damage due to transient surges. Providing 1.8 Kilowatts of
clamping transient protection, the Model 530 is easy to install and won't
slow network performance.
The Model 530 connects directly between incoming ThickNet data
cables and LAN I/O ports. Damaging transients are shunted to chassis
ground through a braided metal strap before they can impact expensive
network hardware. The Model 530 guards against transients generated
by lightning, electric motors, florescent lights, static discharge and
numerous other environmental hazards.
Using a hybrid circuit that incorporates Silicon Avalanche Diodes,
the Model 530 can take repeated "hits" up to its rated capacity without
degrading in performance. If the Model 530 should encounter a severe
transient above its voltage rating, it will fail "open" to protect the
connected hardware from damage. In this case, all signals (including
data) are sent directly to ground, indicating to you that the Model 530
has "sacrificed itself" for your system and needs to be replaced.
Warning: This product will not provide complete protection should your
equipment or building be subject to a direct lightning hit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Patton's Model 530 is 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 coaxial
cable and the equipments I/O port.
2. Install the Model 530 between the incoming coax cable 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. Note: If you are unsure where
to locate a frame ground connection on your equipment, consult
the equipment's user manual or contact the manufacturerthe
ground connection is
critical for proper operation of the Model 530.
