Installation and use

Protection Box PowerLine 85 or 200 must be used :

  • either with one or several other Protection Box PowerLine (85 with 85, 200 with 200)
  • or with one or several HomePlug PowerLine adapters available on the market (see compatibility table below)

For optimized operation of the PowerLine technology, it is recommended to install your product as follows:

  • plug Protection Box PowerLine directly into a wall outlet
  • plug all equipment into the Protection Box outlets which are not "PLC-Ready" marked: those outlets are indeed able to stop perturbations coming from some equipment (such as small power supply, chargers, etc ....) that can weaken the PowerLine signal
