IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this Monster PowerCenter™ into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use
on the PowerCenter. If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied to your home,
consult your local power company or a qualified electrician.
WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
A. Do not force your Monster PowerCenter plug into an outlet that is not designed to accept a three-wire grounded-type
AC plug (a three-prong plug). This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounded-type outlet only. If this plug doesn’t fit
directly inside your outlet, do not attempt to force it into the outlet. Never attempt to dismantle the plug in any way (or to
alter the power cord). Do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature by using a 3-to-2 prong adaptor.
If you have questions about grounding, consult your local power company or a qualified electrician.
B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other component with wire that connects
to your Monster PowerCenter, be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. Use grounding techniques specified in Section
810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code).
This protects against voltage surges and static charges.
C. Do not place any antenna near overhead power lines or any other power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power circuit.
Doing so may cause severe physical injury or possibly death.
WARNING – Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks
A. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit.
B. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter near rain or water that’s spilled or contained (e.g., bathtub, kitchen or sink).
ii
WARNING – Power Cord Safety
A. When routing your Monster PowerCenter’s AC power cord, do not place it near heavy foot traffic areas
(e.g., hallways, doorways, and floors). Do not create a trip hazard with the power cord.
B. If your power cord’s protective jacket begins to rip or fray, exposing the internal wiring, shielding, etc., disconnect it
from the power source and discontinue use of the Monster PowerCenter immediately. See the Warranty Information
section of this owner’s manual for important details.
WARNING – Storm Precautions
In the event of a lightning storm, it’s always a good idea to disconnect your Monster PowerCenter; there is no need
to disconnect your separate components. Make sure that ALL of your components and PC products are protected
with Monster Power.
WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your PowerCenter is not operating properly, do not remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.)
for repair. Unplug the unit and consult the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.
CAUTION – Exposure To Heat
Do not expose your Monster PowerCenter to direct sunlight or place it near wall heaters, space heaters, or any enclosed
space prone to temperature increase.
CAUTION – Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for your Monster PowerCenter is a light dusting. Unplug your component
from the wall before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
iii
PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION
WARNING – Proper Grounding
Monster PowerCenters require a properly grounded outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment.
If you’re not sure if your home’s electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
Important Note –
Proper Power and Protection
To completely protect your equipment against electrical surges, every AC power cable, coaxial cable,
phone line and Ethernet line in the system must be connected to an appropriate PowerCenter.
Important Note –
Proper Protection and the Limited Connected Equipment Warranty
The Limited Connected Equipment Warranty becomes invalid if any wire (AC, coax, phone or Ethernet)
or audio or video interconnect leading into the equipment comes from a component that is not properly protected
by the PowerCenter.
The Limited Connected Equipment Warranty becomes invalid when the PowerCenter is operated in a non-fixed
install environment.
See the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.

A NOTE FROM THE HEAD MONSTER
THANK YOU for purchasing the Monster Power® Professional Reference PowerCenter™ Signature
PRO 5100, designed to offer you the best performance and most comprehensive home theater and
A/V system protection available. The Signature PRO 5100 is designed for the professional A/V installer
working on high-end home systems, recording and touring environments, and many other listening
& viewing environments where top performance is a must. The Signature PRO 5100’s many enhanced
features were incorporated into the design with these users and environments in mind.
The Signature PRO 5100 features patented Monster Clean Power
™
stage 4 v.2.0 filter circuitry
that virtually stops the electromagnetic and radio frequency which can degrade sound and picture
quality. In addition, your PowerCenter also features patented noise isolation circuits that separate analog
audio, video, digital, and ultra-high current audio outlets. The result is high quality sound and picture
that’s free from performance-damaging interference.
Other Monster Power breakthroughs include exclusive T2
™
automatic disconnect/reconnect protection
circuitry and patented Tri-Mode
™
protection featuring an audible alarm. These features automatically
disconnect power from your electronics if you’re hit by a big surge. We’ve included surge-protected
coax, phone, and Ethernet connections to ensure protection for all of your components. The Signature
PRO 5100 also features a patent pending color-coding system, which identifies where each component
should be connected.

As fellow audiophiles and videophiles, Monster designed the Signature PRO 5100 to help you get the
best possible sound and picture, and we hope you enjoy it as an integral part of your A/V and home
theater systems.
Noel Lee,
The Head Monster

MONSTER EXCLUSIVE T2™ TECHNOLOGY
The Monster Power Signature PRO 5100 PowerCenter features exclusive Monster T2 technology. T2 is an active electronic
microprocessor-controlled circuit that sits in front of the surge protection circuitry in select Monster Power products.
T2 monitors the line, neutral and ground lines and automatically disconnects the PowerCenter from the AC power
line when a long duration low-voltage sag or high-voltage swell occurs (continuous voltage below 80Vrms
or above 132Vrms).
When the voltage sags or swells to these potentially damaging levels, ultra-fast T2 auto-disconnect protection circuitry
shuts down the Monster PowerCenter for 15 seconds. When the under-voltage or over-voltage condition returns
to normal, T2 reconnects the PowerCenter to full operation after 15 seconds. If the fault condition does
not
clear,
the T2 comparator circuit keeps the unit shut down.
Unlike ordinary power management devices, T2 will shut down your PowerCenter before the MOVs (Metal Oxide
Varistors) and thermal fuses sense an overload condition and sacrifice themselves to protect your connected components.
This will extend the PowerCenter’s life, while providing the system protection you need.

MONSTER PATENTED CLEAN POWER™ STAGES
Monster Clean Power performs two tasks that are vital to maintaining optimum home theater performance: 1) noise filtration
and 2) noise isolation. The higher the Clean Power stage number (1-5), the more sophisticated and advanced the filters
are that reject noise generated on the AC powerline. In addition, the higher the Clean Power stage number, the more isolation
that exists between connected equipment for maximum rejection of component-generated noise.
Monster PowerCenters featuring Clean Power circuitry are each designated with a Clean Power Stage. The Signature PRO 5100
incorporates Monster Clean Power Stage 4 v.2.0 circuitry which filters both AC powerline noise and reduces noise generated
by your connected equipment. Clean Power Stage 4 features five ultra-advanced, isolated filters that include analog audio,
video and digital, plus an ultra-high current audio filter to provide for the best possible AC powerline noise rejection and
inter-component isolation for improved component-generated noise rejection. All of these features make the Signature PRO 5100
ideal for your home theater system. To learn more about patented Monster Clean Power and the complete product family
of PowerCenters, voltage stabilizers and amplifiers, please visit MonsterPower.com.

Outlet Programming
All PowerCenter outlets on the rear panel are programmable via the menu and select buttons on the front panel.
To set up each outlet pair, use the front panel MENU and SELECT buttons to choose between SWITCHED ON,
SWITCHED ON AFTER DELAY and UNSWITCHED (Always On) independently for each outlet pair. You can change
the settings, whenever you like. Using the outlet pair labeled ANALOG FILTER as an example, the following diagrams
illustrate how it’s done:
A) Power up the PowerCenter: Press the ON/OFF switch one time to power the unit and start the process.
Once the PowerCenter is on, the display will show the AC line voltage.
Note: The power-on process may take up to 60 seconds since any outlet pair can be configured
as SWITCHED ON AFTER DELAY. You can see any outlet pair’s power status by referring to its indicator
on the front panel.
B) Set Outlet Pair to SWITCHED ON: Press MENU until the second line display shows the status of the ANALOG
outlet pair. Press the SELECT button until the time delay changes to 0 (zero).
The 0 (zero) time delay setting indicates SWITCHED ON mode for the ANALOG outlet pair. This pair will be live
once the PowerCenter is powered up by pressing the front panel ON/OFF button, or triggered by an external signal.

HOOK-UP GUIDE
C) Set the Outlet Pair to SWITCHED ON AFTER DELAY: Press MENU until the display shows the status
of the Analog outlet pair. Press the SELECT button until the time delay changes to the required delay
in seconds before the outlet pair will turn on after the ON/OFF button is pressed.
When the PowerSource is SWITCHED ON by pressing the front panel ON/OFF button, or by an external trigger signal,
the outlet pair will go “live” after the time delay set as described above — 20 seconds in this case. The outlet pair
with the maximum time delay setting will still turn off immediately when the ON/OFF button is pressed,
or when triggered by an external signal.
D) Set the Outlet Pair to UNSWITCHED (Always On): Press the MENU button until the display shows the status
of the Analog outlet pair. Press the SELECT button until you see the display.
Once UNSWITCHED is selected, any component plugged into those outlets will receive power continuously
as long as your PowerCenter is plugged into a 120 volt outlet that is on.
Note: The unit is shipped with all outlet pairs set to SWITCHED ON.
