3.2.2 Connecting the Model 58x at a Barrier (Wall,
Building, Entrance, etc.)
1. Disconnect the UTP cable from the wall jack or patch panel jack.
2. Install the Model 58x between the UTP line and the jack. This
installation requires a straight through Cat-5 patch cable with
modular RJ-45 male connectors.
Note: It doesn't matter which port the UTP cable plugs into on the
rack, ss long as the input is directly above or below the correspon-
ding output.
3. Connect the ground braid(s) to the rack frame according to Figure
4 connected to earth ground. Do not lengthen the ground strap
or section describes connection procedures for both models.
4. Connect the rack structure frame directly to the earth ground if it is
not already connected. The best way to make this ground con-
nection is to attach a thick braided metal strap earth ground to a
metal panel, a wall plate screw or an electrical panel or subpanel,
using a hex nut or ground screw. Pay close attention to the impor-
tant note in Figure 4. If you cannot locate a nearby electrical
ground, contact Patton Electronics Technical Service (see Section
1.1)
Caution: Surge energy may run both directions on the ground
strap. To provide the best protection, it is essential that the sup-
plied ground strap on the 57x/58x is connected to the chassis
ground of the protected device. Do not lengthen the ground strap
or connect to a ground other than a chassis ground unless
instructed to do so by Patton Technical Support.
