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 1008 generates and uses 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. The Model 1008 has 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 the Model 1008 does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the EIA/TIA-574 interface, 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, re-orienting 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.

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 1008 High Speed, Multipoint, DB-9 Short Range
Modem provides exceptional versatility in an ultra-miniature package.
Requiring no AC power or batteries for operation, the Model 1008 supports asynchronous EIA/TIA-574 data rates to 115.2 Kbps over one or two unconditioned twisted pair. Distances up to 15.0 miles are attainable at lower data rates (1.2 Kbps, 19 AWG twisted pair).
The Model 1008 can handle up to 50 terminal drops in a multipoint
polling environment. For RS-485 and serial printer applications requiring hardware handshaking, the Model 1008 passes one control signal in each direction. The Model 1008 may be configured for high or low impedance, carrier may be set to “constantly on” or “controlled by RTS”, and the unit can operate with or without “echo”. RTS/CTS delay may be set for “no delay” or 8 mS.
Options for twisted pair connection include terminal blocks with
strain relief, RJ-11, RJ-45 and dual modular connectors for daisy chaining. Silicon Avalanche Diodes provide 600 watts per wire of protection against harmful data line transient surges.

To access the Model 1008’s internal PC boards, insert a small flat-
blade screwdriver between the connector and the lip of the case and twist gently as shown in Figure 3 (below).
Both DIP switch S1 and S2 are marked with individual switch
numbers 1 thru 4. Use these numbers, as well as the “ON” designation to orient the switch properly (see Figure 4, below). Use a small screw driver or similar instrument to set each individual switch.

3.1.3 DIP SWITCH S2 SETTINGS
DIP switch S2 is used to configure carrier control, RTS/CTS delay
and communication protocol. The summary table below shows the factory default settings for switch S2. Following the summary table is a detailed description of each individual switch.
*Note: Switches S2-3 and S2-4 should be switched simultaneously
S2-1: Carrier Control Method
The setting for switch S2-1 determines whether the carrier is
“Constantly On” or “Controlled by RTS”. This setting allows for operation in switched carrier, multipoint and/or hardware handshaking applications.
S2-1
Setting On Controlled by RTS Off Constantly ON
S2-2: RTS/CTS Delay
The setting for switch S2-2 determines the amount of delay
between the time the Model 1008 “sees” RTS and when it sends CTS. Note: RTS/CTS Delay setting should be based upon transmission timing.
S2-2
Setting On 8 mSec Off no delay
S2-3 and S2-4: “Transmit Off” Impedance
Switches S2-3 and S2-4 are set together to determine whether the receiving device “sees” the impedance of the Model 1008’s transmitter as being “high” or “intermediate” when the transmitter is turned off. The “intermediate” setting is useful in half-duplex environments where the receiving device does not respond well to the “high” setting.

4.0 INSTALLATION
Once the Model 1008 is properly configured, it is ready to connect to your system. This section tells you how to properly connect the Model 1008 to the twisted pair and EIA/TIA-574 interfaces, and how to operate the Model 1008.
4.1 TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION
The Model 1008 supports 2-wire or 4-wire communication between two or more EIA/TIA-574 devices at data rates to 115.2 Kbps. There are two essential requirements for installing the Model 1008:
1. These units work in
pairs.
Therefore, you must have one Model 1008 at each end of a two twisted pair interface. In multipoint environments, there must be one Model 1008 at the EIA/TIA-574 host and one at each EIA/TIA-574 terminal.
2. To function properly, the Model 1008 needs two twisted pairs of metallic wire. These pairs must be
unconditioned
dry metallic wire, between 19 and 26 AWG (the higher number gauges may limit distance). Standard dial-up telephone circuits, or leased circuits that run through signal equalization equipment, are
not
acceptable
.
For your convenience, the Model 1008 is available with several
different twisted pair interfaces: RJ-11 jack, RJ-45 jack, terminal blocks with strain relief and dual modular jacks (for multipoint daisy-chaining).
4.1.1 TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION USING TERMINAL BLOCKS
If your application requires you to connect one or two pairs of bare
wires to the Model 1008, you will need to open the case to access the terminal blocks. The following instructions will tell you how to open the case, connect the bare wires to the terminal blocks and fasten the strain relief collar in place so the wires won't pull loose.
1. You should already have the case open for the configuration
procedure. If not, see Section 3.1.

7. When you finish connecting the wires to the terminal block, the
assembly should resemble the diagram below:
8. Place the 2 halves of the strain relief assembly on either side of
the telephone wire and press together very lightly. Slide the assembly so that it is about 2 inches from the terminal posts and press together firmly. If your cable diameter is too small or too large for our strain relief, please contact our technical support. We have strain relief assemblies to accommodate most cable diameters.
9. Insert the strain relief assembly with the wire going through it
into the slot in the bottom half of the modem case and seat it into the recess in the case. (If the telephone wire is too thin to be held by the strain relief assembly, you will need to order a different sized strain relief. Call Patton's Sales Department at (301) 975-1000.)

4.2 WIRING FOR MULTIPOINT CIRCUITS
The Model 1008 supports multi-point applications using either a
star or daisy chain topology. Both topologies require special wiring, as well as specific DIP switch settings for master and slave units. Refer to
Section 5.0 for multipoint DIP switch settings.
4.2.1 STAR TOPOLOGY
Using a star topology, you may connect several Model 1008s together in a master/slave arrangement. Maximum distance between the units will vary based upon the number of drops, data rate, wire gauge, etc. Call Technical Support for specific distance estimates.
Figure 5 (below) shows how to wire the two-pair cables properly for a Model 1008 star topology. Note that the ground connection is not needed.
4.2.2 DAISY CHAIN TOPOLOGY
Using a daisy chain topology, you may connect several Model 1008s together in a master/slave arrangement. Maximum distance between the units will vary based upon the number of drops, data rate, wire gauge, etc. Call Technical Support for specific distance estimates.
(Continued)
Figure 6 (below) shows how to wire the two-pair cables properly for a Model 1008 daisy chain topology. Note that the ground connection is not needed.
4.3 CONNECTION TO THE EIA/TIA-574 INTERFACE
The Model 1008 is designed to plug directly into the DB-9 serial port of an EIA/TIA-574 DTE device (PC, laptop, host). If you must use a cable to connect the Model 1008 to the DTE device, make sure that it
