1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION
Patton Electronics warrants all Model 1060 components to be
free from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the product
should it fail within one year from the first date of shipment.
This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and
does not cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized modification.
If this product fails or does not perform as warranted, your sole
recourse shall be repair or replacement as described above. Under no
condition shall Patton Electronics be liable for any damages incurred
by the use of this product. These damages include, but are not limited
to, the following: lost profits, lost savings and incidental or
consequential damages arising from the use of or inability to use this
product. Patton Electronics specifically disclaims all other warranties,
expressed or implied, and the installation or use of this product shall be
deemed an acceptance of these terms by the user.
1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 1060 generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if
not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and
television reception. The Model 1060 has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a
commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 1060
does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by disconnecting the RS-232 interface, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the
receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna, and/or plugging the
receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing
equipment and receiver are on different branches).
1.3 SERVICE
All warranty and non-warranty repairs must be returned freight
prepaid and insured to Patton Electronics. All returns must have a
Return Materials Authorization number on the outside of the shipping
container. This number may be obtained from Patton Electronics
Technical Service at (301) 975-1007, http://www.patton.com, or
support@patton.com.
NOTE: Packages received without an RMA number will not be
accepted.
Patton Electronics' technical staff is also available to answer any
questions that might arise concerning the installation or use of your
Model 1060. Technical Service hours: 8AM to 5PM EST, Monday
through Friday.
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.

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
3.0 CONFIGURATION
Thank you for your purchase of this Patton Electronics product.
This product has been thoroughly inspected and tested and is
warranted for One Year parts and labor. If any questions or problems
arise during installation or use of this product, please do not hesitate to
contact Patton Electronics Technical Support at (301) 975-1007.
2.1 FEATURES
• Data rates to 115.2 Kbps
• Built-in optical isolation & high speed surge protection
• Distances up to 14 miles (19 AWG TWP @ 1200 bps)
• Tri-state LED indicators
• Point-to-point or multipoint
• Local and remote loopback test modes
• DCE/DTE switch selectable
• Hardware and software flow control support
• Externally powered
• Made in the U.S. A.
2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 1060 Series asynchronous short range modem is
equipped with a virtual wish list of “bells and whistles”: Point-to-point or
multipoint applications are supported. Two separate control signals
may be passed (one each way), each with switch-selectable pin
assignments. Data lines are protected from ground loops and
electrically volatile environments by optical isolation and Silicon
Avalanche Diodes. System integrity can be evaluated using two built-in
test modes: local analog loopback and remote analog loopback. Tristate LEDs monitor transmit data, receive data and control signals.
Finally, 4-wire connections may be made using either RJ-11 jack or
terminal blocks—both are included.
The Model 1060 features externally accessible configuration
switches, located on the underside of the unit; there is no need to open
the case to configure the Model 1060. Figure 1 (below) shows the
location of the DIP switch set, as well as the two DCE/DTE switches.

3.1 "QUICK SET-UP" INSTRUCTIONS
In the majority of applications, you won't need an in-depth
knowledge of the Model 1060's capabilities to get up and running. The
following "quick set-up" DIP switch configurations cover most Model
1060 operating environments. (Note: DIP switch 8 not used)
3.1.1 POINT-TO-POINT CONFIGURATION
In addition, the Model 1060 is perfect for low power RS-232
environments. The new Model 1060 is AC powered, and therefore is
the recommended solution for RS-232 environments whose interface
voltages are below RS-232 specifications. The Model 1060 supports
data rates to 115.2 Kbps and extends RS-232 transmission distances
up to 14 miles over two twisted pair.
The Model 1060 is housed in a sturdy metal case and comes with
either 115 or 220V external transformers. This is the top-of-the-line in
asynchronous short range modems.

If you are installing these units in a point-to-point application with a
computer, printer or terminal, configure the DIP switches on both Model
1060s as follows:
