3.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 537 Surge Protector uses a solid state hybrid

network to guard token ring ports against data loss and hardware
damage due to transient surges. The Model 537 inserts between the
data cable and a token ring port. It intercepts data line transients and
sends them directly to chassis ground through the connector shield.

Warning: This product will not provide complete protection should your
equipment or building be subject to a direct lightening hit.

4.0 SURGE PROTECTION BENEFITS

The method of surge protection used in the Model 537 adds four
benefits to your system:

High Surge Capacity

The Model 537 handles up to 1500 Watts

of surge energy without failure.

Quick Response

The Model 537 has fast response times (1 pS
at the component level; 0.5 μS installed). Transient surges are
clamped at 9 volts.

Low Impedance

The Model 537 adds minimal load to your

system. It is about the same as a gender changer.

Open Failure

The Model 537 fails “open” if your system
experiences a severe transient or power fault above the rated voltage
of the protector. This means that data and surge energy is shunted
directly to chassis ground, rather than being allowed to flow throughout
the system.

5.0 INSTALLATION

The Patton Model 537 is simple to install and requires no user

configuration. Follow these installation steps.

1. Disconnect the data cable from the device you are protecting in
a manner consistent with the manufacturer’s installation
instructions.

2. Be sure the connector shield on the device you are protecting
is connected to frame ground. If not, contact Patton Technical
Support for further instructions.

3. Plug the connector of the Model 537 directly into the Token
Ring port of the device you are protecting.

4. Re-attach the cable to the available connector on the Model

537. The Model 537 is now inserted between the
data port and the data cable, and will provide up to 1500 Watts
of protection to the data port.

Note: We recommend that a Patton surge protector be
connected to the other end of the data cable as well. To order,
please contact us at: [phone]; http://www.patton.com;
