Patton's Model 531 units are easy to install and should give you years of trouble-free service. Here are a few simple instructions to help you get things hooked up right:

Standard Model 531 MF:

1.Unplug (disconnect) the existing connection between the coaxial cable and the equipment I/O port.

2.Install the Model 531 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 ground strap directly to a frame ground connection on the protected device. If you are unsure where to locate a frame ground connection on your equipment, consult the equipment's user manual or contact the manufacturer—the ground connection is critical for proper operation of the Model 531.
