Surge Suppressors
DataShield data/communication line surge suppressors are designed to protect
data and communications equipment against AC transients caused by lightning,
electrostatic discharge and ground surges that enter equipment from the signal
l i n e s or chassis ground.
DataShield surge suppressors described here protect virtually any
networked equipment using 10 baseT, 10 base-2 and 10 base5 Ethernet, Token
Ring, RS232, RS422/423/485, dial-up modems, fax, T-1 lines and most other
communication interfaces.

1. Make sure the computer, network device or other equipment is logged
OFF
the
network (if applicable). Turn OFF power to the equipment.
2. D i s c o n n e c t the cable from the equipment to be protected.
!
3. Connect the DataShield surge suppressor directly to the equipment.
4. Attach the green ground wire on the surge suppressor directly to the protected
equipment's chassis: (Datashield surge suppressors with " D style connectors do
not provide or require this external grounding).
5. Reconnect the cable to the DataShield surge suppressor.

The DataShield surge suppressor must
be properly grounded and
