2.2 DESCRIPTION
The potential threats to your Token Ring network are vast:
lightning, AC power induction, electrostatic discharge, ground potential
differences, EMI/RFI interference and more. The Patton Model 536S
has been designed to greatly reduce these risks. Just attach one unit
to each of your 802.5 Token Ring devices and rest easy.
1.2 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 Union European
(EU). A Certificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical
Support.
The Model 536S connects directly between your shielded or
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cables and respective I/O ports.
By shunting all threatening voltages to the chassis ground, the Model
536S insures the integrity of the data in your LAN and protects
connected equipment from damage. Using a solid state design and
sophisticated multistage hybrid circuits, these units can operate at
speeds of 4 or 16 Mbps. Grounding is accomplished via an external
ground strap that provides a separate unit-ground to chassis-ground
connection. In addition, the wire shield is connected directly to chassis
ground (when shielded modular plugs are used).
Warning: This product will not provide complete protection should your
equipment or building be subject to a direct lightning hit.
