1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION
Patton Electronics warrants all Model 503S components to be free
from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the product
should it fail within one year from the first date of shipment. This
warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and does not
cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized modification. If this
product fails or does not perform as warranted, your sole recourse shall
be repair or replacement as described above. Under no condition shall
Patton Electronics be liable for any damages incurred by the use of
this product. These damages include, but are not limited to, the
following: lost profits, lost savings and incidental or consequential
damages arising from the use of or inability to use this product. Patton
Electronics specifically disclaims all other warranties, expressed or
implied, and the installation or use of this product shall be deemed an
acceptance of these terms by the user.
1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 503S Series units generate and use radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause
interference to radio and television reception. They have been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in
accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such
interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
these products do cause interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning off the unit, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-
orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment
into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and
receiver are on different branches).
1.2 CE NOTICE
The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates that
it is in compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
directive and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the Union European
(EU). A Certificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical
Support.

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for your purchase of this Patton Electronics product.
This product has been thoroughly inspected and tested and is
warranted for One Year parts and labor. If any questions arise during
installation or use of the unit, contact Patton Electronics Technical
Support at [phone].
2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 503S guards all pins on the DB-25 serial
interface against data loss and damage due to transient surges. The
Model 503S employs a solid state circuit using Silicon Avalanche
Diodes, and has a combined surge handling capacity of up to 36,000
Watts (1.5kW per wire). Connecting directly between the DB-25 serial
port of your hardware (PC, modem or printer) and the serial cable, the
Model 503S diverts surge energy to chassis ground through pin 1 and
the metal D-shell. For complete protection of your serial line, we
recommend that one surge protector be used at each end of the line.
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 503S adds four
benefits to your system.
1.
High Surge Capability . The 503S handles up to 36k Watts
(1500 Watts per wire) of surge energy.
2.
Quick Response. The 503S feature a response time of 500
nsec, with transient surges being clamped at 27 Volts.
3.
Low Impedance. Connect the 503S directly to RS-232 ports
with minimal load to your system — about the same as a
gender changer.
4.
“Fail Safe” Design. Unlike some other surge suppressors,
the 503S fails short to ground should your system experience
an excessive surge.

3.0 INSTALLATION
Patton's Model 503S is simple to install, and requires no user
configuration. Follow these installation steps.
1. Turn your equipment’s power switch off and disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet.
2. Unplug (disconnect) the existing connection between the serial
cable and your DB-25 serial port.
3. Install the Model 503S between the serial cable and the DB-25
serial port. If the D-shell is not connected to chassis ground, use
the grounding wire (included) to make an alternate frame ground
connection. Proper grounding is essential to the operation of the
Model 503S.
