Also, the flat braided grounding wire(s) on the Model 57x should
be attached to the grounded metal frame of the device being protect-
ed. If it is not possible to attach it to the equipment being protected,
contact Patton Technical Support (See Section 1.1).
3.1.2 BARRIER APPLICATION (MODEL 58x)
The Model 58x is a more robust protector than the Model 57x,
and is designed for use as a barrier protector on LAN equipment in
campus networks. Applications include: cable runs between buildings;
cable runs between floors on multi-story structures; and as a higher
capacity replacement for the Model 57x.
The Model 58x is also well suited for use in severe lightning areas,
heavy industrial environments, and situations where heavy machinery
is in the direct vicinity of sensitive LAN equipment and cabling. Figure
2 (below) shows a typical application for the Model 58x. For best
results, the braided grounding strap(s) on the Model 58x should be
attached to the grounded metal frame of the device being protected.
When installation is made at a barrier, such as an external wall, the
braided strap must be connected to a nearby electrical ground. If a
nearby electrical ground cannot be located, contact Patton Technical
Support (See Section 1.1).
