2.1 FEATURES

• Uses a multi-stage hybrid circuit for the best possible
protection for shielded twisted pair applications

• Handles surge energy up to 1.5 kW

• Conforms to the IEEE 802.5 specification

• Works at speeds 4 Mbps / 16 Mbps Token Ring environments

• Diverts surges directly to chassis ground through braided metal
ground strap

• STP wire shield connected directly to chassis ground

• Easy to install

• Made in the U.S.A.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The potential threats to your Token Ring network are vast:
lightning, AC power induction, electrostatic discharge, ground potential
differences, EMI/RFI interference and more. The Patton Model 532S
has been designed to greatly reduce these risks. Just attach one unit
to each of your 802.5 Token Ring devices and rest easy.

The Model 532S connects directly between your shielded or
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cables and respective I/O ports.
By shunting all threatening voltages to the chassis ground, the Model
532S insures the integrity of the data in your LAN and protects
connected equipment from damage. Using a solid state design and
sophisticated multistage hybrid circuits, these units can operate at
speeds of 4 or 16 Mbps. Grounding is accomplished via an external
ground strap that provides a separate unit-ground to chassis-ground
connection. In addition, the wire shield is connected directly to chassis
ground (when shielded modular plugs are used).

W

arning: This product will not provide complete protection should your

equipment or building be subject to a direct lightning hit.

3.0 INSTALLATION

Patton's Model 532S units are easy to install and should give you
years of trouble-free service. Here are a few simple instructions to help
you get things hooked up right.

1. Unplug (disconnect) the existing connection between the network
cable and the equipment’s I/O port.

2. Install the Model 532S between the incoming network cable and
the protected equipment using the 6” (15.24cm) modular patch
cable (supplied). Place the surge protector as close as possible to
the device being protected.

3. Connect the braided ground strap directly to a chassis ground
connection on the protected device. If you are unsure where to
locate a chassis ground connection on your equipment, consult the
equipment's user manual or contact the manufacturer—the ground
connection is critical for proper operation of the Model 532S.
