Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of the DEHNprotector DPRO 230 TV?

The primary function is to protect TV, radio, or satellite receivers from damaging power surges and voltage spikes that can occur through both the power outlet and the antenna cable.

Can I use this device for my computer or other electronics?

The DPRO 230 TV is specifically designed for TV, radio, and satellite receivers with F-connector antenna inputs. It is not recommended for general-purpose electronics like computers, which may have different protection requirements.

How do I know if the surge protection is still working?

The device features an optical indication. If the indicator shows normal operation, the protection is active. If it indicates a fault, the surge protection capabilities have been exhausted, and the device needs to be replaced.

What does the IP20 rating mean?

An IP20 rating means the device is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (like a finger) but offers no protection against water. It should be used in dry indoor environments only.

Does the on/off switch disconnect power to the connected device?

Yes, the on/off switch on the DPRO 230 TV controls the power to the single AC outlet, allowing you to completely disconnect your connected receiver when not in use.

What is the maximum wire cross-section it can handle?

The device can handle a wire cross-section of up to 2.5mm² on the power side.

What type of antenna connector does it use?

It uses an F-connector, which is standard for satellite and many terrestrial TV/radio receiver antenna connections.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on or no visual indication.

Ensure the DPRO 230 TV is securely plugged into a working grounded outlet. Check if the on/off switch is in the 'on' position. If the LED indicator is off and the device is properly connected, the unit may be faulty.

Visual indication shows a fault.

A fault indication typically means the surge protection components have been used up due to one or more significant surge events. The device should be replaced to ensure continued protection for your connected equipment.

Connected device (TV, radio, receiver) still experiences issues after a surge.

While the DPRO 230 TV offers protection, extreme surge events can occasionally overwhelm even protective devices. Ensure the DPRO 230 TV is functioning correctly (no fault indicator) and that all connections are secure. If problems persist, consult the manual of your connected device.

Antenna signal is weak or non-existent.

Check that the F-connector cable is securely attached to both the DPRO 230 TV and the connected receiver. Ensure the DPRO 230 TV itself is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, the problem may lie with the antenna or the cable itself.
