Frequently Asked Questions - MOD-DT4 Panamax

What is the MOD-DT4 used for?

The MOD-DT4 is a secondary protector designed to protect Digital Station (DS) Set phone lines from surges. It is connected between the station sets and the phone system to prevent backdoor surges from entering the equipment.

How do I install the MOD-DT4?

First, mount the rectangular bracket to the back of a compatible Panamax AC base unit using the provided #8-32 x 5/16" machine screws. Ensure the brass ground connector is used to bond the module ground to the base unit. Then attach the MOD-DT4 to the bracket. Connect wiring as per the diagram: station set lines go to LINE side, phone system to EQUIP side.

Is the MOD-DT4 compatible with my Panamax base unit?

The MOD-DT4 is compatible with current and discontinued Panamax AC base units listed in the manual, including models like M8HT-PRO, PM8-EX, M4-EX, and many others. Check the manual for the full list.

How many phone lines can the MOD-DT4 protect?

The MOD-DT4 can protect up to 4 Digital Station lines. It supports multiple configurations using RJ11 (2-wire) or RJ14 (4-wire) cords, or 110 punchdown connections.

What types of connectors does the MOD-DT4 have?

The MOD-DT4 features both RJ11/RJ14 modular jacks and a 110 punchdown block on both the LINE and EQUIP sides for flexible wiring.

Do I need to ground the MOD-DT4?

Yes, the module must be grounded. The brass ground connector provided with the bracket must be used to bond the module ground to the base unit's ground for proper protection.

Can I install the MOD-DT4 during a thunderstorm?

No, never install telephones or signal line modules during a lightning storm to avoid risk of electric shock or equipment damage.

Does the MOD-DT4 work with DSL?

The MOD-DT4 is specifically designed for Digital Station (DS) Set phone lines, not standard analog or DSL lines. For DSL protection, use models like MOD-AT2 or MOD-AT4.

How do I connect the MOD-DT4 to my phone system?

Connect the station set lines (from the phones) to the LINE side jacks or punchdown block. Connect the EQUIP side to the phone system. For example, punch down station set lines on the LINE side 110 block and use RJ11 cords from EQUIP side to the phone system.

What should I do if the MOD-DT4 is not working?

First, verify that the base unit is properly installed and powered. Check all connections: ensure LINE and EQUIP are not reversed, and that the ground connection is secure. If issues persist, consult the manual or contact Panamax support.

WIRING DIAGRAM AND SPECIFICATIONS
MOD-AT2

• 4 Wires (1 RJ-14) Protected
• 260 Volt Clamping
• Auto-resetting PTC's

The MOD-AT2 module is designed to protect standard phone lines connected to computer modems, telephones, pay-per-view ports, etc. It will also protect DSL lines (ADSL, G.Lite) going into the DSL modem. The MOD-AT2 module will protect a single phone line using an RJ-11 (2 wire) cord or a dual phone line using an RJ-14 (4 wire) cord.

1. Connect the telephone line to the LINE jack on the module.

2. Use a modular cord to connect the EQUIP modular jack to the equipment to be protected.

Model: MOD-AT4 (Secondary Protector)

The MOD-AT4 module is designed to protect standard phone lines and DSL (ADSL, G.Lite) lines. Multiple input & output jacks provide complete installation flexibility. The following diagram shows how the jacks/wires are interconnected. Different cables/connections can be split or combined to accommodate a variety of installations. For example:

- Incoming lines can be punched-down on the 110 jack on the LINE side and four RJ11 (single-line) cords will connect from the EQUIP side to the equipment.

The MOD-AT8110 module is designed to protect up to 8 standard phone lines using 110 punchdown connectors on both the input LINE and output EQUIP.

1. Cut the cable from the primary protector to the correct length and punch down the

cable to the LINE IN punchdown block on the module.

1. Punch down another cable to the EQUIP OUT punchdown block on the module and connect to the phone equipment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PANAMAX SIGNAL LINE PROTECTION MODULES - PREMIUM SERIES

Model: MOD-DT4 (Secondary Protector) Model: MOD-

The MOD-DT4 module is designed to protect Digital Station (DS) Set phone lines. Station Set lines that leave the building are a pathway for surges (backdoor) to enter the phone system. This is why the lines FROM the Station Sets are connected to the LINE side of the module and the EQUIP side of the module is connected to the phone system. Multiple input & output jacks provide complete installation flexibility. The following diagram shows how the jacks/wires are interconnected. Different cables/connections can be split or combined to accommodate a variety of installations.

For example:

• Station Set lines from the phone system can be punched-down on the 110 jack on the EQUIP side and four RJ11 (2 wire) cords will connect from the LINE side to the Station Sets.
• Station Set lines from the phone system can be punched-down on the 110 jack on the EQUIP side and two RJ14 (4 wire) cords will connect from the LINE side (upper 2 jacks) to the Station Sets.

Caution: Never install telephones during a lightning storm.

Model: MOD-UTP (Isolated Loop Circuit Protector)

The MOD-UTP module is designed to protect networked computer equipment. It will protect one Ethernet 10/100 Base-T, Token Ring, Arcnet, or AppleTalk network line.

1. Use a modular cord to connect the EQUIP modular jack to the equipment to be protected.

Please note: The protection circuitry will not work if the signal lines are reversed.

1. Connect the network line from wall/floor jack to the LINE jack on the module.

Model: MOD-CAT5 (Isolated Loop Circuit Protector)

Line drawing of a mechanical component with two coiled wires and a labeled section 'MOD-CAT5' (no text or symbols beyond label)

The MOD-CAT5 module is designed for high-speed data applications-networks including CAT 5, fast Ethernet, ATM, and other high-speed active transport devices.

SPECIFICATIONS MOD-CAT5

For 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet

• 8 Wires (4 Pairs) Protected
- 19 Volt Clamping
- CAT5E Compliant

1. Connect the CAT 5 cable connected on either side on the module to the wall/floor jack and then to the equipment to be protected. There is no "IN" or "OUT". MOD-CAT5 is bi-directional.

STV (Secondary Protector)

The MOD-DBSTV module provides protection for 3 SAT / CABLE / ANT and 1 telephone line.

1. Connect the Satellite LNB or Cable TV coax cable from the wall/floor jack to one of the "F" connectors labeled SAT/CATV on the module
2. Use a coax patch cord to connect the other SAT/CATV labeled modular "F" connector to the equipment to be protected.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for up to 2 additional satellite or cable TV lines.
4. Connect the telephone line to the LINE jack on the module.
5. Use a modular cord to connect the EQUIP modular jack to the equipment to be protected.

Note: This reminder is provided to call the CATV installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of entry as possible.

Model: MOD-SPKP (Isolated Loop Circuit Protector)

The MOD-SPKP module is designed to protect outdoor speaker, keypad, control and security wires (8 wires or 4 pairs). Equipment lines that lead outside the building are pathways for surges (sometimes called backdoor surges) to enter the equipment. This is why the lines FROM the outdoor equipment is connected to the LINE side of the module and the EQUIP side of the module is connected to the equipment.
1. Strip the ends of the individual wires about 1/4 inch. The screw clamp terminals will work with a range of wire sizes (up to 12AWG). Spade lugs are not required, but may be used.

1. Connect the wires from the outdoor equipment to terminals on the LINE side of the module.
2. Connect the wires from the EQUIP side of the module to the equipment.
3. If the cable has a shield or drain wire, connect it to the modules bonding-strap connection located on the upper right portion of the module. If more than one module is connected to the AC base unit, placing this module at the top may allow for easier connection of shield or drain wires.
