3.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Patton Model 515 DB-15 Surge Protector employs a solid state hybrid network to guard DB-15 data ports against data loss and hardware damage due to transient surges. Equipped with one male and one female DB-15 connector, the Model 515 inserts between the data cable and DB-15 port. The Model 515 intercepts data line transients and sends them directly to chassis ground through the metal D-shell.

Three versions of the Model 515 are available: The Model 515/25 clamps at 18 volts, protects all 15 pins, and is designed for use with RS-232 interfaces. The Model 515/6 clamps at 7.5 volts, protects all 15 pins, and is designed for use with RS-422, RS-423 and RS-485 interfaces. The Model 515/T1 clamps at 7.5 volts, protects pins 1, 3, 9 and 11, and is designed for use with T1 equipment. All three versions provide up to 1500 Watts of transient protection.

Warning: This product will not provide complete protection should your equipment or building be subject to a direct lightening hit.

4.0 SURGE PROTECTION BENEFITS

The method of surge protection used in the Model 515 adds four benefits to your system:

High Surge Capacity The Model 515 handles up to 1500 Watts of surge energy without failure.

Quick Response The Model 515 has fast response times (1 pS at the component level; 0.5 µS installed). Transient surges are clamped at 18V for RS-232 and 7.5V for RS-422/423/485, and 7.5V for T1 equipment.

Low Impedance The Model 515 adds minimal load to your system. It is about the same as a gender changer.

Open Failure The Model 515 fails “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 than being allowed to flow throughout the system.
