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

1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The Model 504 & 505 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.

2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 504 & 505 Surge Protected DB-25 to
Modular Adapters allow you to simplify cabling connections and

protect your RS-232 or RS-422 DB-25 equipment at the same time.
Each adapter is custom wired according to your

pin-out diagram (no
“standard” wiring). Up to 1500 Watts of surge protection per modular
pin is provided. On the Models 504, an RJ-11 jack is used, and up to 6
pins may be protected. On the Model 505, an RJ-45 jack is used, and
up to 8 pins may be protected. Both the Model 504 and 505 employ
Silicon Avalanche Diodes for superior transient protection. You may
specify a clamping voltage of 27V for RS-232 applications or 6.8V for
RS-422 applications. Surges are shunted safely to chassis ground
through the D-shell connector. Male or female DB-25 connectors are
available.

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 Models 504 & 505

adds four benefits to your system:

1)

High Surge Capacity

. The Models 504 & 505 dissipate up to

1500 Watts per wire in 1.0 millisecond.

2)

Quick Response.

The Models 504 & 505 have fast response
times (1 pS at the component level; 0.5 μS installed). Transient
surges are clamped at 27V for RS-232 and 6.8V for RS-422.

3)

Low Impedance.

The Models 504 & 505 add minimal load to

your system--about the same as a gender changer.

4)

Open Failure.

The Models 504 & 505 fail “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 that being allowed to
flow throughout the system.

3.0 MODEL 504 & 505 INSTALLATION

The Patton Models 504 & 505 are simple to install and require no

user configuration. Follow these installation steps:

1) Be sure the metal D-sub connector on the device you are
protecting is connected to frame ground. If not, see step 4,
below.

2) Plug the DB-25 connector of the Model 504 or 505

directly

into
the DB-25 Serial port of the device you are protecting. Use of
a serial cable reduces the effectiveness of the protection you
would otherwise receive.

3) Plug your modular cable into the jack on the Model 504 or 505.
If you have a Model 504, the cable must be terminated with an
RJ-11 plug. If you have a Model 505, the cable must be
terminated with an RJ-45 plug.

4) To provide an alternate ground connection, use the short strap
supplied with the unit. Connect one loop to the device chassis
(or other chassis ground) and the other loop to the Model 504
or 505 as shown below.
