Panamax 4400 User Manual

Thank you for choosing Panamax. The MAX® 4400 is designed to provide AC power distribution and maximum protection for audio/ video equipment.
Inductorless Noise Filtration
Capacitive noise filtration allows amplifiers and powered sub­woofers to perform to their full potential. When the movie thun­ders with a terrific explosion or when the music reaches a climac­tic crescendo, an amplifier has to rapidly draw large amounts of cur­rent to replenish its power supply capacitors. Traditional line condi­tioners impede this current draw, in effect, starving an amplifier and resulting in a flat, dead sound. The MAX® 4400 provides clean, filtered power to amplifiers but has no current-limiting components to impede performance.
INSTALLING THE MAX® 4400
NOTE: The MAX® 4400 and the
connected equipment must be indoors and in the same building.
INSTRUCTIONS MAX® 4400
1. Plug the MAX® 4400 directly into a properly grounded 3-wire AC outlet*.
2. Turn the MAX® 4400 on.
3. Plug in one of the pieces of
equipment
you want to protect and
turn the equipment on.
If the equipment is working cor­rectly, continue to plug in and turn on your equipment.
In the extremely unlikely event that everything does not work perfectly, stop and read the troubleshooting section. If you continue to have problems, call PANAMAX Customer Relations Department at 800-472-5555, USA and Canada.
*Many old buildings are inade­quately wired. It is very common for a building to be improperly grounded. Building wiring and grounding must conform to appli­cable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the PANAMAX connect­ed equipment policy to be valid.
TROUBLESHOOTING
There is no AC power to my equipment, or my equipment doesn’t turn on .
Make sure that the MAX® 4400 is plugged into a working AC outlet. Check all AC connections.
Make sure the MAX® 4400 and connected equipment is turned on. If you are using the 12VDC trigger, make sure that the source is actu­ally supplying the voltage needed to activate the MAX® 4400.
Check to see if the circuit breaker on the MAX® 4400 needs to be reset (press in).
The MAX® 4400 circuit breaker disconnects AC power from the connected equipment.
You have exceeded the ampere rat­ing for your surge protector.
As a temporary fix, disconnect one or more pieces of equipment. Ask your dealer about additional PANA­MAX products that may be required.
If you continue to have trouble with your MAX® 4400 or this sec­tion has not fixed the problem, please call PANAMAX Customer Relations Department at 800-472-
5555.

Switched Outlets Pushbutton ­one of two triggers that can turn-on or turn-off the switched outlets. Leave this switch in the ON position if the DC trigger is being used.
10 Ft. AC Power Cord -
20A Circuit Breaker - will
automatically “open” when the current load is greater than 20 Amperes. When this happens, the circuit breaker can be manually reset by simply pushing the reset button, which will have “popped” out.”
Switched Outlets LED ­Indicates that the Switched Outlets are on.
Ground Lug ­Provides a common grounding point for equipment with separate ground
Voltage Trigger LED ­(green) when lit, indicates that the DC Trigger is active (ON).
Always-On Outlets - Four Always-On outlets provide a constant power source.
Ground OK LED ­(green) indicates that the wall outlet is properly grounded.
Switched Outlets ­Four outlets controlled by one of the two trig­ger sources.
Unsafe Voltage - (red) when lit, indicates that incoming voltage is unsafe and the surge protector has disconnected the power to protect your equipment.
Always-on Convenience Outlet -
Voltage Sense Trigger Input - 3.5mm Mini-
Plug jack. Connect to a remote trigger device that provides 12VDC to trigger a startup/ shut­down sequence. This is the second trigger that will turn-on or turn-off the switched outlets.
Turn-On Delay Switch - Provides
a 10-second Turn-On delay for the switched outlets.
