1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The Model 3004-ECB 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 3004-ECB 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 3004­ECB does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by disconnecting 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, 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 of the Union European (EU). A Certificate of Compliance is
available by contacting Technical Support.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Model 3004-ECB series are self-powered elastic buffers, which
enable the connection of two independently clocked DCEs. When two
internally clocked devices exchange data and cannot be clocked externally,
the 3004-ECB is used as an interface between them. The Model 3004­ECB utilizes two buffers to reduce errors caused by clock drift between the
two DCEs. All models employ adaptive buffer control. Internal buffers will
automatically adjust to "almost full" in the case of underflow or to "almost
empty" in case of overflow. All models perform the necessary "cross over"
wiring connections between the two DCEs. Installation is easy and
straightforward.
