2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 503P and 503PC guard PC parallel interfaces

against data loss and damage due to transient surges. These units employ a solid state circuit using Silicon Avalanche Diodes, and can handle repeated surges up to 1500 Watts. The Model 503P connects directly between the DB-25 parallel port of a PC or workstation and the parallel printer cable. The Model 503PC connects to the parallel printer cable, and then plugs directly into the 36-pin Centronics® printer port. Both units divert surge energy to chassis ground through the metal connector shell. For complete protection of your parallel line, we recommend that a Model 503P and 503PC be used together, one at each end of the line.

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 503P and 503PC adds four benefits to your syste.

1. High Surge Capability

2. Quick Response

3. Low Impedance

4. “Fail Safe” Design

2.2

SURGE PROTECTION BENEFITS

The method of surge protection used in the 503P and 503PC adds four benefits to your syste.

1. High Surge Capability

. The 503P and 503PC

dissipate up to 1.5 kwatts for up to 1 mes.

2. Quick Response

. The 503P and 503PC feature a response time of 500 nsec, 503PC clamps at +8V and -3V the 503P clamps to 6.8V

3. Low Impedance

. Connect the 503P directly to RS-232 ports with minimal load to your system — about the same as a gender changer.

4. “Fail Safe” Design

. Unlike some other surge suppressors, the 503P fails short to ground should your system experience an extreme transient or severe current overload. Therefore, Iif the unit fails, data and surges are diverted to ground instead of back into your equipment.

3.0 INSTALLATION

Patton's Model 503P and 503PC units are simple to install, and

require no user configuration. Follow these installation steps.

1. Turn off your PC/printer’s power and disconnect the power cord(s) from the wall outlet(s).

2. Unplug (disconnect) the existing connection between the parallel cable and your PC/printer’s parallel port(s).

3. Install the Model 503P between the parallel cable and the DB25 parallel port. Install the Model 503PC between the parallel cable and the Centronics®-36 connector of your parallel printer. For best results, both protectors should be used–one at each end of the cable.
