2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 222N9 RS-232 (EIA-574) to RS-422 interface
converter allows asynchronous PCs, terminals and laptops employing
the EIA-574 (RS-232/ DB-9) interface to communicate with devices
using RS-422 balanced electrical signals. Facilitating bi-directional
data conversion over two twisted pair, the Model 222N9 draws all
necessary operating power from data and control voltages on the EIA-
574 interface. The Model 222N9 supports data rates to 19.2 Kbps and
distances to 4000 feet. All control signals are looped back at the EIA-
574 interface.
The Model 222N9 is housed in an ultra-miniature ABS plastic
enclosure measuring 2.5”L x 1.2” H x .75” W. Options for twisted pair
connection on the RS-422 side include terminal block with strain relief,
RJ-11 and RJ-45. The EIA-574 side is available with a choice of male
or female DB-9 connector.
The surge protected Model 222N9S uses high speed avalanche
diodes to intercept data line transient surges and shunt them safely to
chassis ground. Compliant with IEC 801.5 level 2, 1kV, the 222N9S
can protect itself and connected equipment from nearby lightning
strikes, and other surges of electromagnetic radiation.

3.0 INSTALLATION
The Model 222N9 is easy to install and requires no pre-
configuration. This section tells you how to properly connect the Model
222N9 to the RS-422 (twisted pair) and EIA-574 (DB-9) interfaces, and
how to operate the Model 222N9.
3.1 CONNECTION TO THE RS-422 INTERFACE
The Model 222N9 supports data-only communication distances up
to 4000 feet between itself and the RS-422 device. To function
properly, the Model 222N9 must have two twisted pairs of metallic wire.
These pairs must be dry, unconditioned metallic wire, between 19 and
26 AWG (the higher number gauges may limit distance somewhat).
For your convenience, the Model 222N9 is available with several
different physical interfaces on the RS-422 side: RJ-11 jack, RJ-45
jack, and terminal blocks with strain relief.
3.1.1 TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION USING RJ-11 OR RJ-45
The RJ-11 and RJ-45 connectors on the Model 222N9's twisted pair
interface are pre-wired for a standard TELCO wiring environment. The
signal/pin relationships are shown below:
RJ-11

5 --------------XMT-

8 --------------N/C
* Connection to Ground is Optional
When connecting two Model 222N9s it is necessary to use a "cross
over" cable. The diagram below shows how a cross over cable should
be constructed for an environment where both Model 222N9s use a 6-
wire RJ-11 connector. Similar logic should be followed when using RJ-
45 connectors or a combination of the two.

3.1.2 TERMINAL BLOCK TWISTED PAIR CONNECTION
If your application requires you to connect one or two pairs of bare
wires to the Model 222N9, you will need to access the internal terminal
blocks. The instructions on the following pages will tell you how to
open the case, connect the bare wires to the terminal blocks, and
fasten the strain relief collar in place so that the wires won't pull loose.
Note: The terminal block configurations are different for the
222N9M (male) and 222N9F (female).

1. Open the unit by gently inserting a screw driver between the DB-9
connector and the lip of the plastic case (See below). You don't have to
worry about breaking the plastic, but be careful not to bend the D-sub
connector.

Once the unit has been opened, you will be able to see the
terminal block located at the rear of the PC board.
2. Strip the outer insulation from the twisted pairs about one inch
from the end.
3. Strip back the insulation on each of the 2 twisted pair wires
about .25".
4. Connect one pair of wires to XMT+ and XMT- (transmit positive
and negative) on the terminal block, making careful note of which color
is positive, and which color is negative.

5. Connect the other pair of wires to RCV+ and RCV- (receive
positive and negative) on the terminal block, again making careful note
of which color is positive, and which color is negative.
Ultimately, you will want to construct a two pair cross over cable that
makes a connection with the RS-422 device as shown below:
Model 222N9
RS-422 Device
XMT+.............................RCV+
XMT-..............................RCV-
RCV+.............................XMT+
RCV-..............................XMT-
6. If there is a shield around the telephone cable, it may be
connected to "G" on the terminal block. We recommend connecting the
shield at the computer end only to avoid ground loops. A ground wire is
not necessary for proper operation of the Model 222N9.
7. When you finish connecting the wires to the terminal block, the
assembly should resemble the diagram below:
8. Place the 2 halves of the strain relief assembly on either side of
the telephone wire and press together very lightly. Slide the assembly
so that it is about 2 inches from the terminal posts and press together
firmly. If your cable diameter is too small or too large for our strain
relief, please contact our technical support. We have strain relief
assemblies to accommodate most cable diameters.

9. Insert the strain relief assembly with the wire going through it
into the slot in the bottom half of the modem case and seat it into the
recess in the case. (If the telephone wire is too thin to be held by the
strain relief assembly, you will need to order a different sized strain
relief. Call Patton's Sales Department at (301) 975-1000.)
10. BEND the top half of the case as necessary to place it over the
strain relief assembly. Do not snap the case together yet.
11. Insert one captive screw through a saddle washer and then
insert the captive screw with the washer on it, through the hole in the
DB-25 end of the case. Snap that side of the case closed. Repeat the
process for the other side. This completes the cable installation
process.

3.2 CONNECTION TO THE EIA-574 (RS-232) INTERFACE
The Model 222N9 is configured as a DCE, and is wired according
to the EIA-574 standard.

5---------------------SG/FG
Due to its small size, the Model 222N9 is able to plug directly into
the serial port of your EIA-574 DTE device (PC, laptop, etc.). If you
must use a cable to connect the Model 222N9 to the DTE device, make
sure that it is a straight through cable of the shortest possible
length—we recommend 6 ft or less.
3.3 OPERATING THE MODEL 222N9
Once the Model 222N9 is properly installed, it should operate
transparently—as if it were a standard cable connection. Operating
power is derived from the EIA-574 data and control signals; there is no
"ON/OFF" switch. All data from the EIA-574 interface, including
X-ON/X-OFF flow control information, is passed straight through. Any
hardware flow control signals are looped back at the interface and are
not passed between the short hauls.

APPENDIX B
PATTON MODEL 222N9 CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Patton Model 222N operates at frequencies of 20kHz or less
and has been performance tested by Patton technicians using twisted-
pair cable with the following characteristics:
Wire Gauge
Capacitance
Resistance
19 AWG/.9mm 83nf/mi or 15.72 pf/ft.
22 AWG/.6mm 83nf/mi or 15.72 pf/ft.
24 AWG/.5mm 83nf/mi or 15.72 pf/ft.
.0163 Ohms/ft.
.0326 Ohms/ft.
.05165 Ohms/ft.
To gain optimum performance from the Model 222N, please keep
the following guidelines in mind:
• Always use twisted pair wire—this is not an option.
• Use twisted pair wire with a capacitance of 20pf/ft or less.
• Avoid twisted pair wire thinner than 26 AWG (i.e. avoid higher
AWG numbers than 26)
• Use of twisted pair with a resistance greater than the above
specifications may cause a reduction in maximum distance
obtainable. Functionality should not be affected.
• Environmental factors too numerous to mention can affect the
maximum distances obtainable at a particular site. Use “maximum
distance” figures as a general guideline only.
