Thank you for choosing ITW Linx DataLinx® 1200-T1 or DL1200-T1A protector. The DataLinx 1200-T1 Series will provide the finest surge protection
available for T1 or ISDN applications.
Using a patchcord, plug one end into the front side (out-put side) of the DataLinx
protector & the other side of the patchcord into the equipment to be protected.
Turn each piece of connected equipment on and check for correct operation.
In the extremely unlikely event that everything does not work properly, stop
and read the troubleshooting section.
IMPORTANT:
• Use 24 AWG or physically larger diameter wire for input.
• Attach a #6 AWG wire to the Screw Ground Lug (SGL-1) on back
of the unit to a properly grounded Ground Bas Bar. See “NOTE”.
DL1200-T1 / DL1200-T1A FEATURES
• Protects 12 4-wire (2-pair) ports –
(DL1200-T1): Solid-state, Primary & Isolated Loop protection, UL 497 & 497B.
(DL1200-T1A): Solid-state, Secondary protection, UL 497A with 160 mA
self-resetting over-current protection.
• Protects one T1 or ISDN line per port – T1: 2 pairs (Pins 1 & 2 and
4 & 5) ISDN: BRI/PRI compatible.
• RJ45 input/output.
• Single height chassis (1U).
• Replaceable 4-port modules – In the event of a catastrophic surge you
will not need to replace the entire unit, just the modules that have been
effected.
INSTALLING DATALINX 1200-T1 SERIES UNITS
These models protects 4-wires (2 pairs) per port using RJ45 connectors.
Using four standard rack mounting screws (included) mount DataLinx 1200-T1
to a standard 19” rack cabinet.
Turn off the power to the equipment that will be plugged into the surge protector.
Plug the RJ45 jack from the line input cable into the “Line” (back) side of the
protector.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. INTERMITTENT OR NO CONNECTION SIGNAL.
Check integrity of the patchcord. Visually inspect for any lose or
non-connected wires. Verity that wires are connected in compliance
with either TIA 568-A or 568-B standards.
NOTE: If system-operating voltage exceeds the listed initial clamping
voltage (70V) for your unit or if a surge is present on the network, the port
will be connected to GND by design. Remove surge source or check the
system voltage.
If you continue to have trouble with your DataLinx 1200-T1 /1200-T1A or
this section has not fixed the problem, please call ITW Linx Customer
Service at: 1-800-336-LINX (5469).
CAUTION:
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Disconnect telephone lines before installing protector.
3. Protector and equipment ground should be connected to a single
common ground.
4. Make sure no electrical surges are on the lines when installing or
removing circuit cards.
5. The protector shall be installed in accordance with the applicable
requirements of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA-70, Article 800,
Section C.
NOTE:
1. Many old buildings are inadequately wired. It is very common for a
building to be improperly grounded. Building wiring and grounding must
conform to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada). Ground impedance is
recommended to be 1 ohm or less. Protectors will not function properly
when connected improperly or to a faulty ground.
2. The DataLinx 1200-T1A and the connected equipment must be indoors
and in the same building.
