WARRANTY NOTICE
WARRANTIES: Patton Electronics Co. (hereafter referred to as Patton) warrants that its equipment is free
from any defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty period shall be two years from the date of
shipment of equipment. Patton’s sole obligation under its warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of the
defective equipment, provided it is returned to Patton, transportation prepaid, within a reasonable period. This

PUBLICATION NOTICE
This manual has been compiled and checked for accuracy. The information in this manual does not constitute a

incorrect information contained in this manual.
RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Patton MSDs 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. The Patton MSDs have been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A computing
devices 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 Patton MSDs do cause interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the cables, 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).
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 European Union (EU). A Certificate of
Compliance is available by contacting Technical Support.
SERVICE
All warranty and non-warranty repairs must be returned freight prepaid and insured to Patton Electronics. All
returns must have a Return Materials Authorization number on the outside of the shipping container. This
number may be obtained from Patton Electronics Technical Support at:
tel: (301) 975-1007;

1200P
INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
112001UA
CHAPTER 1 - OPERATION
The Patton 1200P (CTS ME-V.24) is a RS-232 Modem Eliminator. This device is bidirectional with each port connecting to a DTE. The 1200P (CTS ME-V.24) permits
interfacing one RS-232 / V.24 terminal to another RS-232 / V.24 terminal without
the use of two Modems. The 1200P (CTS ME-V.24) provides sync baud rates up to
76.8Kbps. When the 1200P (CTS ME-V.24) is used with async data, baud rate
selection is not required, because the Modem Eliminator is transparent to the data.
Terminal devices can be separated up to 50 feet away from the 1200P (CTS MEV.24) depending on the baud rate selected. The unit is supplied with two DB-25
female connectors for connection of the terminal units.
The 1200P (CTS ME-V.24) is available as either a standalone unit or in a multi-unit
rackmount configuration. In the standalone configuration the 1200P (CTS ME-V.24)
is housed in a sturdy aluminum enclosure and is supplied with a switchable 110VAC
/ 220VAC linear power supply. In the rack-mount configuration, the 1200P (CTS
ME-V.24) occupies one slot of the 1010R16/P/UI (CTS MCS-16C), 16 card slot,
front load rack.
The unit has MET, c-MET and CE approvals.

CHAPTER 2 - SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Power Connection
Before connecting the 1200P (CTS ME-V.24) to an AC power source the top cover
must be installed and secured with the supplied screws. The unit is supplied with a
110/220VA voltage switch, turn the switch
with a coin or screw driver to the appropriate
voltage for your country. EXAMPLE: United
States of America; set to 110VA. The unit is
supplied with a IEC power connector next to
the voltage select switch, plug the power
cord into the connector until it is firmly
seated. You may now connect the power
cord into your AC outlet.
