INTRODUCTION Your Audio/Video components are constantly being bombarded by electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) through their power cords. This contaminated power can affect analog and digital equipment and will degrade the overall performance of your entire system. Digital components can also introduce noise on their AC power lines, which can interfere with the performance of analog components.

FEATURE OVERVIEW 1. Power Switch and LED: 2. Meter Lights Switch: Pushbutton; activates a turnon or shutdown sequence for the Isolated and High-Current outlets. The Green LED will be illuminated when the unit is plugged into an AC outlet and the power switch is in the “ON” position. The LED flashes during the outlet turn-on and turn-off delay periods. Pushbutton; controls brightness of the Ammeter and Voltmeter backlighting. Cycles among five settings; High Blue, Low Blue, High Amber, Low Amber, OFF 3.
FEATURE DETAILS The indicators are: POWER Power Switch and LED Indicator: Momentary Pushbutton (non-locking); activates a turn-on or shutdown sequence for the Isolated (Switched) and High-Current outlet banks. The Green LED will be illuminated when the unit is plugged into an AC outlet and the power switch is in the “ON” position. Switched Outlets: Green LED. This light indicates the status of the Isolated (Switched) and HighCurrent outlet banks.
FEATURE DETAILS (continued) Isolated/Switched Outlet Bank: Sequential Startup/Shutdown: Complex audio/video systems may be susceptible to voltage transients generated internally at startup/shutdown if all of the equipment is powered on or off at the same time. This can cause speaker “thumps” which are not only annoying but can also damage the speakers.
FEATURE DETAILS (continued) DC Triggers: Filtered Outlet Banks 1 & 2: ALWAYS ON OUTLETS ISOLATED OUTLETS NT OUTLETS ISOLATED OUT RS232 CON 12V TRIG IN Four outlets (two banks / two outlets per bank) are fed through separate “Balanced, Double L” noise filtration circuits. These circuits are designed to eliminate the AC contamination that is most detrimental to the performance of analog or video components like stereo receivers, VCRs or televisions.

FEATURE DETAILS (continued) The MAX 5510-Pro requires line voltage to return to within the safe operating range for 10 seconds before returning to normal operating mode. This is referred to as "Over/Under Voltage Recovery". The safe operating range is considered 5V above the under-voltage threshold and 5V below the over voltage threshold. Once this safe operating range is reached, the MAX 5510-Pro will perform the following functions: Patented Over/Under Voltage Protection: 1.
MAX PRO-SERIES RS-232 COMMAND SPECIFICATIONS 1. OVERVIEW The Panamax Pro-Series product family has a RS232 interface that allows it to communicate with a wide variety of equipment. The purpose of this document is to outline the command set used to communicate with the Pro-Series (PS) products. Commands and responses are in the form of ASCII character STRINGS TERMINATED with ASCII 13, line feed (ASCII 10) or NULL (ASCIØ). DB9 Pinout Diagram 5 4 3 2 1 6 7 8 9 PIN NO. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2.
ISOLATED vs. BALANCED POWER Power Modes in the MAX® 5510 Balanced Power Single-phase grounded-neutral power Supply The standard method of residential power delivery in the U.S. The neutral, or "grounded" conductor, is bonded to the earth, or "grounding" conductor. The N-G panel bond creates a severe imbalance with respect to common-mode currents, which can lead to "hum" in A/V equipment.
TROUBLESHOOTING My power cable does not reach the wall outlet. Can I use any extension cord to make it reach? The 6 Amp, Isolation Transformer circuit breaker continually trips. What is the problem? I connected the LED Convenience Lamp and the lamp will not work. What is the problem? No, Panamax extension cords are the only extension cords that you can use while keeping your warranty valid. The four Isolation Transformer outlets share the 720 VA Isolation transformer for their power source.
