Thank you for choosing ITW Linx DataLinx
®
1200. The
DataLinx 1200 will provide the finest surge protection
available for Power Over Ethernet (POE), Voice Over
Internet Protocol (VOIP) and LAN needs.
INSTALLING DATALINX 1200 SERIES UNITS
Using four standard rack mounting screws (included)
mount DataLinx 1200 to a standard 19" rack cabinet.
Detach the two front panel screws. Pull the back of the
housing out to expose the 110 connectors. Carefully
punch-down input pairs, maintaining proper wire twist.
Wires must be 24 AWG and be punched-down in
compliance with either TIA 568-A or 568-B standards.
See diagram below.
WIRING CONVENTIONS/DIAGRAM
DL1200 / DL1200-235
DL1200-POE
Position cable(s) into the cable exit slots on the back of
the housing. Position and secure a cable tie on each
cable to provide strain relief next to cable exit slots in the
protector housing.
Push the housing back in and secure the two front panel
screws.
IMPORTANT: Attach a #6 AWG wire to the Screw
Ground Lug (SGL-1) on back of the unit to a properly
grounded Ground Bus Bar
.
To ensure Cat 5e performance, connect a Cat 5e or better
patch cord to the DataLinx protector and the equipment
to be protected. In the extremely unlikely event that
everything does not work perfectly, stop and read the
troubleshooting section. If you continue to have prob-
lems, call ITW Linx Customer Service Department at
1-800-336-LINX.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Intermittent or no LAN connections.
Wires are not completely punched-down or are not
punched-down correctly. Visually inspect for any lose or
non-connected wires. Verify that wires are punched-
down in compliance with either TIA 568-A or 568-B
standards.
NOTE: If system operating voltage exceeds the listed
initial clamping voltage 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
or this section has not fixed the problem, please call

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 and the connected equipment must be
indoors and in the same building.
