Take these 4 steps to install your Patton Model 51X.
Note: Make sure you follow the installation instructions exactly.
If the suppressor is improperly installed, the current-limiting
feature could be rendered inoperable.
1.
Disconnect the RJ-45 terminated network cables from your
terminal server.
2.
Connect your network cables to an input port on your Model
51X. Since the Model 51X provides bidirectional protection,
the front or rear ports can be used as the input from your
network.
3.
Using the RJ-45 cables provided, connect each of the output
ports to an input port of your terminal server. Note that the
51X features a straight through design. Data entering the
terminal server protector at an RJ-45 input will leave the
protector at the RJ-45 output that is located directly behind it.
4.
Connect the braided metal strap on the Model 51X to a nearby
chassis ground. In industrial applications, the ground strap
can be removed from the terminal post to allow alternative
ground connections to be added. If you are not sure of the
proper grounding for your Model 51X, please contact Patton
Electronics Technical Service at: (301) 975-1007;

NOTE: We highly recommend that you use a surge protection device
at both ends of your RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 ports.
