1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION

Patton Electronics warrants all Model 509 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 509 Series units generate and use 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. They have 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 these products do cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning off the unit, 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, reorienting 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).

1.2 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

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.

2.1 DESCRIPTION

Transient overvoltages can be coupled to data lines from various sources: lightning, AC power lines, elevator motors, factory equipment, even UPS devices. Data lines running near power, control or telephone cables are subject to short duration pulses approaching several thousand volts. Patton Electronics surge protectors use the latest in transient surge suppression technology to guard against potential data loss and hardware damage due to transient surges. The Model 509 protects all 9 pins of the RS-232 or RS-422 interface. Surges are shunted directly to chassis ground via the metal D-shell connector

Warning: These products will not provide complete protection should your equipment be subject to a direct lightning hit.

2.2 SURGE PROTECTION BENEFITS

The method of surge protection used in the Model 509 yields four important benefits to your system:

1)

High Surge Capability

. The 509 can dissipate up to 1500

watts (10 x 1000μSec) in compliance to IEC 801-5 Level 3 (2kV);

2)

Quick Response

. The 509 has a fast response time of 1.0

picosecond at the componet level and less than 0.5 microsecond installed;

3)

Low Insertion Loss

. Connect the 509 directly to RS-232

ports with minimal loss to your system: about the same as a gender changer;

4)

" Fail Open Design"

. Unlike some other surge suppressors,

the 509 fails "open" if system experiences a direct lightning strike or other extreme transient above the rating of the protector. This means that if the surge suppressor fails, data and surges are both shunted to ground instead of back into your equipment.

3.0 INSTALLATION

Patton's Model 509 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. Check the label of the Model 509 to be sure that you have the correct clamping voltage for your system. The Model 509/25 is for RS-232 systems. The Model 509/6 is for RS-422 systems.

2. Unplug (disconnect) the existing connection between the coaxial cable and the equipment’s I/O port.

3. Install the Model 509 between the incoming coax and the protected equipment (see below). Place the surge protector as close as possible to the device being protected.

4. Connect the braided ground strap directly to a frame ground connection on the protected device. If you are unsure where to locate a frame 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 509.
