Product Information

Full details

This DEHN Lightning Current Arrester Module (MPN: 909704) is designed for users needing robust surge protection for data and M&R applications, specifically TV/radio line protection. Its key benefit is safeguarding sensitive equipment from lightning-induced surges with a high discharge current capability and low residual voltage. A potential caveat is its specialized application, primarily for 75 Ohm satellite and broadband cable systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this DEHN module?

The primary purpose of this DEHN module is to protect data and M&R applications, specifically TV/radio line systems, from damage caused by lightning-induced surges and overvoltages.

What type of cable systems is this arrester designed for?

It is designed for 75 Ohm satellite and broadband cable systems, utilizing standard F-connectors.

What is the maximum frequency this device supports?

The device operates effectively at frequencies up to 24,000 MHz (24 GHz).

How do I connect this device?

You connect it inline with the coaxial cable using the F-connector. One cable connects to the input, and the other to the output, with proper grounding established.

What is the maximum surge current it can handle?

It has a nominal discharge current (8/20) rating of 10kA, and a maximum surge current rating of 1.5kA for the DC arrester specification.

Does this module require power to operate?

No, this is a passive surge protection device and does not require external power to function. However, it must be properly grounded to divert surges.

What does 'Class A shielding' mean?

Class A shielding, as per EN 50083-2, indicates a high level of electromagnetic compatibility, meaning the device effectively prevents interference from entering or leaving the signal path.

Can this be used for general-purpose surge protection?

While effective for its intended purpose, it is specifically designed for 75 Ohm data/RF signal lines. For AC power protection, different DEHN products are required.

Troubleshooting

No signal after installation

Verify that the coaxial cables are correctly connected to the 'in' and 'out' ports of the arrester. Ensure the F-connectors are fully seated and tightened. Check that the module is not damaged and is properly grounded.

Intermittent signal loss or poor performance

Inspect all cable connections for secure fitting. Ensure the module is correctly installed on a DIN rail and properly grounded. If the issue persists, the module may have been subjected to a surge and might need replacement.

Device connected to the line is damaged despite arrester installation

While the arrester significantly reduces risk, extreme surge events can still potentially cause damage. Ensure the arrester is correctly installed and grounded. Verify that the maximum continuous voltage (60V DC) and surge current ratings are not exceeded by the application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective surge protection for TV/radio lines and data applications.
  • Designed for 75 Ohm satellite and broadband systems with F-connector.
  • Meets Class A shielding requirements for signal integrity.
  • Compact and suitable for DIN rail mounting.
  • Low residual voltage protects sensitive equipment.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for specific 75 Ohm coaxial systems; may not be universally applicable.
  • Requires proper installation to achieve full protection benefits.
  • High frequency operation is relevant but the primary function is surge protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the coaxial cable line requiring protection (e.g., satellite feed, broadband cable).
  2. Ensure the system voltage does not exceed the maximum continuous DC voltage of 60V.
  3. Mount the module securely, preferably on a 35 mm DIN rail (top hat rail) in a suitable enclosure.
  4. Connect the incoming coaxial cable to the designated 'in' port using the F-connector.
  5. Connect the outgoing coaxial cable from the 'out' port to your terminal device (e.g., receiver, modem).
  6. Ensure proper grounding connection as per local electrical codes and manufacturer recommendations for optimal surge diversion.

Compatibility:

  • Impedance: Designed specifically for 75 Ohm systems.
  • Connectors: Utilizes standard F-connectors.
  • Application: Ideal for satellite TV, broadband cable systems, and M&R applications requiring signal line protection.
  • Mounting: Compatible with standard 35 mm DIN rails.

Care:

  • The module is a passive protection device and typically requires no active maintenance.
  • Periodically inspect the connections for tightness and any signs of physical damage.
  • Ensure the grounding connection remains secure.
  • Keep the area around the module clean and free from dust or debris.
