2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 570 and 580 Rack Mount Series Surge
Protectors provide effective surge protection for devices operating in

Category-5 Cabling Systems. The Model 570-Rx is specifically
designed for point-of-use installation; the Model 580-Rx is designed to
be installed at the building entrance. Both models use a multi-stage
Silicon Avalanche Diode circuit, and will continue functioning while
handling the appropriate IEC 801.5 surges applicable to their use (see
the tables in Appendix B). Both the 570-Rx and 580-Rx will
additionally protect against surges up to and exceeding 2kV/1kA in fail­safe mode.

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.

1

Model’s 570-Rx and 580-Rx support a wide range of balanced
interfaces from RS-422 to 100Base-T4. Highlights include a low
insertion loss (less than 0.4dB at 100MHz) and minimal near end cross
talk (better than -40 dB at all frequencies up to 100 MHz). Grounding is
accomplished via a braided ground strap that provides a separate unit­rack connection. The customer is responsible for ensuring a proper
rack to earth ground connection. For proper grounding, the resistance
from the supplied ground lug to the rack frame ground should be less
than 2.5 milliohms. Contact Technical Support if further details are
needed for this measurement.

Warning:

This product will not provide complete protection should your

equipment or building be subject to a direct lightning hit.

3.0 INSTALLATION

Model’s 570-Rx and 580-Rx surge protectors are easy to install
and are designed to operate transparently to your network. This
section describes connection procedures for both models.

3.1 PRODUCT APPLICATIONS

Both Model’s 570/580-Rx protect all eight pins on a modular RJ-45
Cat-5 interface, and work in environments with data rates up to 100
Mbps. The following descriptions will give you a general guideline for
installing the units in your Cat-5 environment.

3.1.1 Point-Of-Use Applications Model 570-Rx)

The Model 570-Rx is designed for 100MHz point-of-use
installations that use networking standards such as 100BaseT, RS-422
or 100VG-AnyLAN. Typical installations are shown in Figures 1 and 2,
below. For best results the Model 570-Rx should be connected as
close as possible to the communication port of the device to be
protected .

3.1.2 Barrier Applications (MODEL 580-Rx)

The Model 580-Rx is a more robust protector than the Model 570­Rx, and is designed for use as a barrier protector on LAN equipment in
campus networks. Applications include cable runs between buildings,
cable runs between floors on multi-story structures, and as a higher
capacity replacement for the Model 570-Rx.

The Model 580-Rx is also well suited for use in severe lightning areas,
heavy industrial environments, and situations where heavy machinery
is in the direct vicinity of sensitive LAN equipment and cabling. Figure
3 below shows a typical application for the Model 580-Rx. For best
results, the braided grounding strap(s) on the rack should be attached
to the grounded metal frame of the rack structure.

3.2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

In order to operate as designed, the Model 570-Rx and 580-Rx

must be connected correctly

to your Cat-5 network. Please read all the

instructions below and follow them carefully.

3.2.1 Connecting the Model 570-Rx or 580-Rx to an I/O Port

1. Turn off equipment power and unplug (disconnect) the existing
connection between the UTP cable and the equipment’s I/O port.

4

2. Install the surge protector between the incoming UTP line
and the protected equipment (see Figure 4, below). This
installation requires a straight through Cat-5 patch cable with
modular RJ-45 male connectors .

Use Straight through cable
with the shortest length
possible for patch cable

Cat. 5 input
from network

Cat. 5 patch cable
to protected
equipment

4. Connect the rack structure frame directly to earth ground if it is not
already connected. The best way to make this ground connection
is to attach a thick braided metal strap to earth ground, a metal
panel, a wall plate screw or an electrical panel or subpanel, using a
hex nut or ground screw. Read the Caution and Important Note
paragraphs below very carefully. If you cannot locate a nearby
electrical ground, contact Patton Electronics Technical Service at:

[phone]; http://www.patton.com; or
[e-mail].

Caution: Surge energy may run both directions on the ground

strap. To provide the best protection, it is essential that the
supplied ground strap on the Model 570/580-Rx is connected to
the rack frame structure and that the rack frame structure is directly
connected to earth ground. Do not lengthen the ground strap or
connect to an earth ground other than the chassis ground unless
instructed to do so by Patton Technical Support.

Figure 4 Installation of Model 570-Rx/580-Rx Surge Protectors.

Note: It doesn’t matter which port the UTP cable plugs into on the

rack, as long as the input is directly above or below the
corresponding output.

3. Connect the ground braid(s) to the rack frame as illustrated in
Figure 5.

Effective January 1996 the European Economic Community will
require that all electronic devices be tested and comply with all
applicable International standards relating to the product type and
category of use. Electromagetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC
specifically addresses communication line surge protection devices,
since conformity to immunity standard EN50082-1:1992 is mandatory.
The EN50082-1:10992 standard incorporates International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) publications 801.2 and 801.4,
which describe Electrostatic Discharge and Electrical Fast Transient
requirements. ISO 801.5 describes Surge Immunity Requirements and
is expected to be adopted as a mandatory requirement under
EN50082-1 by the Technical Committee. in 1996. Any protector sold
into the international community must meet these standards. This
device has been tested* and found to comply with these standards as
evidenced by its CE mark.
