Panamax Max 1000 Surge Protector Line Conditioner Manual

When the MAXВ® 5300-EX is subjected to a high voltage surge, its voltage output is limited to a safe level and the high levels of surge current are diverted away from the connected equipment. Protect or Disconnect AC Surge Protection: Once the voltage returns to a safe level, the MAXВ® 5300-EX will automatically reconnect the power. If the MAXВ® 5300-EX senses an unsafe power condition, it will automatically disconnect your equipment from the power to protect equipment from damage. These unsafe conditions pose a very dangerous threat to all electronic equipment within the home. PanamaxвЂ™s patent pending power monitoring circuitry constantly monitors the AC line voltage for unsafe voltage conditions such as prolonged over-voltages and under-voltages (brownouts). Note: The unit needs to be plugged in, and in the powered OFF state before inserting the DC input trigger mini-plug.ДЄutomatic Over & Under Voltage Protection: If a plug is inserted into the input jack, the front panel switch is bypassed and the voltage sense becomes the startup/shutdown trigger. If nothing is inserted into the input jack, the voltage sense is bypassed and the Power Button on the front panel has sole control of the startup/shutdown sequence. This jack has an electrically isolated switch built in. The MAXВ® 5300-EX voltage sense trigger input uses a standard 3.5mm (1/8') mini-plug jack. An AC Adapter of the appropriate voltage, plugged into a switched outlet, may also be used if a DC trigger is not built in. When the source component is turned off, the voltage trigger signal is also turned off and the MAX В® 5300-EXвЂ™s shutdown sequence is initiated. The presence of this power signal will turn on the MAXВ® 5300-EXвЂ™s switched outlets. Many components such as pre-ampli- fiers and receivers have a DC trigger built in, and will transmit a constant power signal when turned on and in use. This feature provides an ON/OFF trigger for the MAXВ® 5300-EX using a Direct Current voltage signal. The amplifiers and powered subwoofers turn off, their power supplies drain, and then the equipment plugged into the Switched Outlet Bank is turned off. This sequence is reversed during shutdown. This allows the components plugged into the Switched Outlet Bank to power-up and stabilize before any amplifiers and powered sub-woofers are turned on. The MAXВ® 5300-EX is designed to eliminate these transients by providing a вЂњstart-upвЂќ delay for the High-Current outlets and a вЂњshutdownвЂќ delay for the Switched Outlet Bank. This can cause speaker вЂњthumpsвЂќ which are not only annoying but can also damage the speakers. Complex audio/video systems may be susceptible to voltage transients generated internally at start-up/shutdown if all of the equipment is powered on or off at the same time.
