Key Features

Voltage Regulation

Regulates the output voltage on Banks 1-4 to

120 VAC ± 5 VAC. This is accomplished

through two boost stages and one buck stage

of voltage regulation. In Boost Stage 1 the

voltage is boosted in the 109-119V range,

while Boost Stage 2 boosts the voltage in the

100-109V range. The Buck Stage acts to

reduce voltage in the 125-136V range.

LiFT Technology EMI/RFI Noise Filtration :

Your audio/video components are constantly

being bombarded by electromagnetic interfer-

ence (EMI) and radio frequency interference

(RFI) through their AC power source. This

contaminated power can affect audio/video

equipment and will degrade the overall per-

formance of your entire system. Common

symptoms of contaminated power include

loss of picture detail, dull colors, pops, hiss-

es, hums and visual artifacts.

Automatic Over & Under Voltage Protection

(AVM):

Panamax's patent pending power monitoring

circuitry constantly monitors the AC line volt-

age for unsafe voltage conditions such as

momentary spikes or prolonged over-volt-

ages and under-voltages (brownouts). These

unsafe conditions pose a very dangerous

threat to all electronic equipment within the

home. If the MAX® 5400-PM senses an

unsafe power condition, it will automatically

disconnect your equipment from the power to

protect equipment from damage.Once the

voltage returns to a safe level, the M5400-PM

will automatically reconnect the power.

•

When subjected to a 6,000V (open circuit

voltage) / 500A (short circuit current) surge,

the M5400-PM limits its voltage output to

less than 330V peak, UL's best rating.

•

If the magnitude of the surge is greater than

the capacity of the surge protection compo-

nents, the M5400-PM's Protect or Disconnect

Circuitry will disconnect your equipment in

order to protect it. The M5400-PM will need

to be repaired or replaced by Panamax if this

occurs within the product’s 3 year warranty.

5 Isolated Outlet Banks

The M5400-PM is designed to provide noise

isolation between the outlet banks so that any

noise created by A/V components plugged

into the M5400-PM cannot contaminate the

power going to equipment plugged into the

other outlet banks of the M5400-PM.

Sequential Startup/Shutdown:

Complex audio/video systems may be sus-

ceptible to voltage transients generated inter-

nally at start-up/shutdown if all of the equip-

ment 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 and/or trip product circuit breakers.

The M5400-PM is designed to eliminate these

transients by providing a “start-up” delay for

the High-Current outlets and a “shutdown”

delay for the Switched Outlet Banks. This

minimizes in-rush current issues by allowing

the components plugged into the Switched

Outlet Banks to power-up and stabilize before

any amplifiers and powered sub-woofers are

turned on. This sequence is reversed during

shutdown. The amplifiers and powered sub-

woofers turn off, their power supplies drain,

and then the equipment plugged into the

Switched Outlet Banks are turned off.

USB Charger:

The M5400-PM features a front panel con-

venience charger for mp3 players, cell

phones, video game controllers, and other

small electronics. NOTE: Some devices may

not be compatible with this USB charger.

Gaming LAN Port:

The M5400-PM features an easy-to-access

LAN port pass-thru from the rear panel to the

front panel. Perfect for online gaming.

Gaming Outlet:

The M5400-PM features a convenience outlet

located on the front panel.

Perfect for gaming

systems and other electronics. 120VAC ±

6VAC

Voltage Sense Trigger:

The M5400-PM volt-

age sense trigger input uses a standard

3.5mm (1/8") mini-mono plug.

This feature provides an ON/OFF trigger for

the M5400-PM using a Direct Current voltage

signal. 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. The presence of

this power signal will turn on the M5400-

PM's switched outlets. When the source com-

ponent is turned off, the voltage trigger signal

is also turned off and the M5400-PM's shut-

down sequence is initiated. An AC Adapter of

the appropriate voltage plugged into a

switched outlet may also be used if a DC trig-

ger is not built in.

Cable/Satellite/Antenna TV signal protec-

tion

Coaxial protection circuits achieve optimum

signal quality from our new coaxial protectors

that have the smallest signal loss on the mar-

ket - less than 0.5 db of attenuation from 0

MHz to 2.2 GHz. Our upgraded coaxial pro-

tection has been specifically designed to vir-

tually eliminate signal loss. The clamping

level of 75V will meet the demands of both

cable and satellite voltage while minimizing

exposure to damaging spikes and surges.

Telephone Line Protection:

Digital video recorders and satellite TV

receivers require a telephone line connection

for TV show scheduling and/or Pay-Per-View

services. The M5400-PM also provides surge

protection for this line. One pair of RJ-11 tele-

phone jacks is provided for this. The circuitry

utilizes auto-resetting PTCRs and solidstate

SIDACtors for reliability and unsurpassed

protection. The clamping level of the M5400-

PM's telephone protector is 260 volts. This

will allow typical ring voltage (90-130VAC)

and operating battery voltage (-48DC) to pass

through the circuit and still protect the

modem in your satellite receiver from dam-

age.

LAN Protection:

Protection circuits for 10/100 baseT Ethernet

lines. Incoming LAN line MUST be plugged

into the LINE jack. Patch cord to the equip-

ment MUST be plugged into the EQUIP jacks.

1 LAN jack goes to the front panel output jack.

8 wire protection, 52V clamping.
