The Patton Models 506 & 507 are simple to install and require no
user configuration. Follow these installation steps:
1) Be sure the metal D-sub connector on the device you are
protecting is connected to frame ground. If not, see step 4,
below.
2) Plug the DB-9 connector of the Model 506 or 507 directly into
the DB-9 Serial port of the device you are protecting. Use of a
serial cable reduces the effectiveness of the protection you
would otherwise receive.
3) Plug your modular cable into the jack on the Model 506 or 507.
If you have a Model 506, the cable must be terminated with an
RJ-11 plug. If you have a Model 507, the cable must be
terminated with an RJ-45 plug.
4) To provide an alternate ground connection, use the short strap
supplied with the unit. Connect one loop to the device chassis
(or other chassis ground) and the other loop to the Model 506
or 507 as shown below.
