The Patton Model 540 is easy to install. The following instructions
clearly explain each step:
1.
Unplug the existing connection between the coaxial cable and
the equipment's I/O port.
2.
Install the Model 540 between the incoming coax line and the
protected equipment (see below). Place the surge protector as
close as possible to the device being protected.
3.
Connect the braided grounding strap directly to an earth
ground connection on the protected device. If you are not sure
where to locate an earth ground connection, consult the equip-
ment's user manual or contact the manufacturer. This ground con-
nection is critical for proper operation of the Model 540.
