2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 504 & 505 Surge Protected DB-25 to
Modular Adapters allow you to simplify cabling connections and
protect your RS-232 or RS-422 DB-25 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 protection per modular
pin is provided. On the Models 504, an RJ-11 jack is used, and up to 6
pins may be protected. On the Model 505, an RJ-45 jack is used, and
up to 8 pins may be protected. Both the Model 504 and 505 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-25 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 504 & 505
adds four benefits to your system:
1) High Surge Capacity. The Models 504 & 505 dissipate up to
1500 Watts per wire in 1.0 millisecond.
2) Quick Response. The Models 504 & 505 have fast response
times (1 pS at the component level; 0.5 μS installed). Transient
surges are clamped at 27V for RS-232 and 6.8V for RS-422.
3) Low Impedance. The Models 504 & 505 add minimal load to
your system--about the same as a gender changer.
4) Open Failure. The Models 504 & 505 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.
