2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for your purchase of this Patton Electronics product.
This product has been thoroughly inspected and tested and is

2.1 FEATURES
• IEEE 802.5 compliant secondary surge protection
• Protection for 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps Token Ring Networks
• Versions for Type 1 (DB-9) or Type 3 (UTP) cabling topologies
• Low insertion loss design handles repeated surges without
degrading
• Shunts surges directly to chassis ground
• Made in the U.S.A.
2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 535 and 536 Token Ring surge protectors guard
your 802.5 Network against data loss and hardware damage due to
data line transients. Working in concert with existing UPS devices
(which protect only the AC power side), Patton’s Token Ring protectors
connect directly to Type 1 or Type 3 cable interfaces. Transients
travelling along the data cables are shunted safely to chassis ground
before they can impact your expensive 802.5 equipment. Both the
Model 535 (Type 1) and the Model 536 (Type 3) operate passively at 4
or 16 Mbps. And both units can receive repeated surge hits from
lightning strikes or other sources without sacrificing performance.
Housed in a miniature ABS plastic case, the Model 535
incorporates a DB-9 male connector on one side and a DB-9 female on
the other. The Model 536 is also housed in a miniature ABS plastic
case and incorporates two female RJ-45 jacks.
Warning—Should your equipment or building be subject to a direct
lightning strike, this product will not provide complete protection.

3.0 INSTALLATION
The Patton Model 535 and 536 are very easy to install: no special
cables or batteries are needed. Simply unplug the cable from the AUI
port and insert the unit between the cable and the port as shown in the
appropriate diagram below.
If you are installing the Model 536, you will also need to
connect the braided ground strap. Connect this strap directly to a
frame ground connection on the protected device. If you are unsure
where to locate a frame ground on your equipment, consult the
equipment’s user manual or contact the manufacturer—the ground
connection is critical for proper operation of the Model 536.
Note: The Model 535 shunts surge current to chassis ground
through the
connector shells
on both ends. If you have any questions
as to whether your hardware is grounded properly, consult the
manufacturer's user manual(s).
