2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 506 & 507 Surge Protected DB-9 to Modular
Adapters allow you to simplify cabling connections and protect your
RS-232 or RS-422 DB-9 equipment at the same time. Each adapter is
custom wired according to your pin-out diagram (no "standard" wiring).
Up to 1500 Watts of surge protections per modular pin is provided. On
the Models 506, an RJ-11 jack is used, and up to 6 pins may be
protected. On the Model 507, an RJ-45 jack is used, and up to 8 pins
may be protected. Both the Model 506 and 507 employ Silicon
Avalanche Diodes for superior transient protection. You may specify a
clamping voltage of 27V for RS-232 applications or 6.8V for RS-422
applications. Surges are shunted safely to chassis ground through the
D-shell connector. Male or female DB-9 connectors are available.
Warning: These products will not provide complete protection
should your equipment be subject to a direct lightning hit.
2.2 SURGE PROTECTION BENEFITS
The method of surge protection used in the Models 506 & 507
adds four benefits to your system:
1)
High Surge Capacity . The Models 506 & 507 dissipate up to
1500 Watts per wire in 1.0 millisecond.
Quick Response. The Models 506 & 507 have a fast
2)
response time of 1 picosecond; 0.5 microsecond installed.
Low Impedance. The Models 506 & 507 add minimal load to
3)
your system--about the same as a gender changer.
4)
Open Failure. The Models 506 & 507 fail "open" if your
system experiences a severe transient or power fault above
the rated voltage of the protector. This means that data and
surge energy is shunted directly to chassis ground, rather that
being allowed to flow throughout the system.
