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. Common symptoms of contaminated power include pops, hisses, hums, visual artifacts, etc. Most power filtering devices will remove some of this interference but don’t provide a compre­hensive solution to the problem.
The MAX is the Complete Solution!
Digital Source Components or Display Devices:
The heart of the MAX Isolation Transformer that provides power to two outlet banks for your digital source com­ponents or displays. AC Regeneration through electromagnetic coupling between the primary and secondary windings of the transformer allows only clean, pure AC power to reach your equipment. None of the EMI/RFI contamina­tion gets past the isolation transformer! In addition, any noise generated by your digital source components is isolated and prevented from reaching the rest of your equipment through their power cords.
Two different power modes, Isolated or Common Ground, are available as output from the isolation transformer. These are selected with the front panel Ground Isolation pushbut­ton. The outlet banks (3 and 4) of the isolation transformer utilize GFCI outlets to safely per­form this function.
In the Common Ground mode, the ground pin of each outlet on banks 3 and 4 is connected to ground, as is the center tap of the isolation transformer. This gives you Balanced Power with a common ground reference.
® 7500-Pro’s Power Filtration System
® 7500-Pro is a 720 VA,
In Isolated ground mode, the ground pin of each outlet on banks 3 and 4 is connected to the center tap of the isolation transformer, and is isolated from the common ground. This gives you Balanced Power with Ground Isolation to help eliminate annoying ground loops in your system.
Analog Components:
Two banks of independently filtered outlets (banks 1 and 2) are designed for your analog components. These outlet banks utilize “Balanced Double L” filter circuits which are far superior to any other design in filtering out all forms of electromagnetic and radio fre­quency interference in both common and nor­mal modes. Cross-contamination between your components is also eliminated with this design.
High-Current Components:
One bank of individually switched outlets (bank 5) specifically addresses the unique power requirements of current hungry compo­nents such as amplifiers and powered sub­woofers. These components rapidly draw large amounts of current to replenish their capacitors after thunderous bass notes. Line conditioners that utilize coils (inductors) in series with the AC power line can “choke” off this large in-rush current, thereby reducing the amplifiers’ ability to operate at peak perform­ance levels, resulting in a flat, dead sound. The MAX fed by noise filtration circuitry that does not utilize coils and provides full, unimpeded power for your amplifiers and powered sub­woofers.
Other Convenience Features Enhance the Functionality:
Although the MAX revolves around regulation, noise filtration and power protection, many other exciting features enhance your overall entertainment experi­ence, including:
® 7500-Pro’s high-current outlets are
® 7500-Pro’s functionality
• An analog, backlit voltmeter indicates the AC line voltage coming into your system.
• An analog, backlit combination meter in one mode shows the actual current draw of all your connected components, giving a visual refer­ence as to how your system is functioning under a variety of conditions. In the second mode it indicates the regulated voltage output on banks 1 through 4.
• A front panel pushbutton controls the display of the combination meter, toggling between “Volts Out” and “Amps In”
• A front panel auto-brightness function that will dim all of the front panel LED’s whenever the lights in the room are turned off to elimi­nate any bright lighting while you are enjoying a movie.
• A detachable rear panel LED convenience lamp simplifies system setup in low-light situ­ations.
• An Always-On, convenience outlet on the front panel is for temporary AC connections.
As you read through the rest of this manual, you’ll discover many more unique features. As home theater enthusiasts, we care about the quality of your listening and/or viewing experi­ence. Our goals are to:
• Make power better (conditioning that allows your system to perform up to its full capabili­ties)
• Make power safer (protect your investment from damaging power disturbances)
• Enhance the pleasure you get from your A/V system

Power Switch and LED Indicator: Momentary Pushbutton (non-latching); activates a turn-on or turn-off sequence for all the outlet banks.
Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to initiate a turn-on or turn-off sequence.
Meters: The analog meters are backlit to provide the ability to view readings in a dark room. LEDs (light emitting diodes) are used in order to provide durability and long life.
The Voltmeter samples the incoming voltage from the wall outlet and provides a visual representation of the available power. The Voltmeter is active between the under-voltage and over-voltage shutoff thresholds (90-140V).
The Combination Meter has two display modes controlled by the integrated push button on the brightness control potentiometer. In one mode, the meter will display “Volts Out” and samples the volt­age output from the regulation circuit (90-140V). In the second mode, the meter displays “Amps”. This amperage reading is measuring the total current drawn by the MAX 7500-Pro and its connected equipment (0-15A).
The Brightness Control consists of a rotary poten- tiometer with an integrated switch in the left-most position. When the knob is turned to the full left position and the switch is engaged, the unit enters “auto brightness” mode. In this mode the brightness of the display is automatically adjusted in response to ambient light.
Bank Status Indicators: When on, indicate that the corresponding bank is on.
When off, indicate the corresponding bank is off. When flashing, indicate the bank is in transition, either turning on or turning off.
Unsafe Voltage: Red LED. Under normal voltage conditions, this light stays off. When this light is flashing, it indicates an under-voltage or over-voltage condition. In an under or over voltage condition, power will be disconnected from all outlets to protect your connected equipment.
Out of Regulation: Yellow LED. This indicator will flash whenever the voltage on the regulated outlets gets out of range.
Ground Isolation: Control the ground connection of banks 3 and 4. When active these banks have Balanced Power with an isolated ground connection. When not active these banks have Balance Power with a common ground reference.

Convenience Outlet:
A single outlet on the front panel of the Max 7500­Pro provides an easy-to-reach power source for elec­tronic equipment typically used on a part time basis. Such equipment includes anything from video game systems to camcorders. The convenience outlet provides clean, protected power for your sensitive electronic equipment. This outlet is Always-On and will continually supply a steady source of power. It is important to remember that power will be disconnected only in the event of an unsafe voltage condition.
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. The MAX 7500-Pro is designed to enable custom startup/shutdown
Bank 5 High-Current Outlets:
The two individually-switched high-current outlets allow amplifiers and powered subwoofers to work 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 capacitors. Traditional line conditioners impede this current draw, in effect, starving an amplifier and resulting in a flat, dead sound. The High-Current Outlet Bank provides clean, filtered power to amplifiers but has no current limiting components to impede performance.
Bank 3 or 4 Isolated/Regulated Outlets:
2 individually switched banks are fed power through the heart of the MAX 7500-Pro, the Isolation Transformer. These outlets should be used for digital components such as DVD players or display devices like Plasma TVs or DLP projectors.
Pure, clean power is obtained by using the isolation transformer to regenerate the AC current. The power from a typical wall outlet is contaminated with elec­tromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interfer­ence (noise) picked up by the power lines between the power utility’s generating plant and the wall out­let. This contaminated power feeds the isolation transformer's primary windings and is regenerated (through electromagnetic induction) as clean power on the isolated secondary windings. The outlets are connected to the secondary windings, which have no physical connection to the primary windings. This is True Isolation! Not only will it isolate your digital source equipment from contaminated power, but also prevent any noise generated in the digital compo­nents from flowing back to other connected equip­ment.

Banks 1 and 2 Regulated Outlets:
Two individually switched banks 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. The two dedicated filters are carefully engineered to provide power fil­tration and inter-component "noise isolation" for both "common-mode" (line/neutral-to-ground) and "nor­mal-mode" (line-to-neutral) EMI/RFI. This means that high-frequency interference will be drastically reduced not only from the incoming power but also from equipment plugged into the other outlet banks, regardless of what "mode" it occurs in. Even equip­ment with ungrounded, 2-blade plugs, receives clean power.
Convenience Lamp:
The convenience lamp included with your MAX
®
7500-Pro plugs into an industry standard USB jack on the rear panel. Its purpose is to provide better visibility of other components and their A/V connections during system setup. Warning: The USB jack only provides power. The lamp will be ON whenever it is plugged in.
DO NOT
use this jack for other USB devices.
DC Triggers:
In the Custom Settings mode all of the outlet delays as well as the trigger sources for each individ­ual bank operate from the configuration that has been programmed into the EEPROM of the unit through the communication interface on the rear panel. Refer to the section titled “Max Pro Series Communication/Configuration Specifications” for complete details on configuring this mode of opera­tion.
Circuit Breakers:
There are two separate circuit breakers on the back panel of the MAX 7500-Pro. The main circuit breaker will trip only if the total current draw exceeds the maximum current rating (15A). This means that collectively, all outlets must draw more than 15 Amps before the circuit breaker will trip.
There is also a 6 Amp circuit breaker to protect the 720 VA Isolation Transformer and its circuitry. The Isolation Transformer provides pure power for digital source components, which require very little current to operate at peak performance.
Do not
Please note:
plug high-powered amplifiers or powered subwoofers into the Bank 3 or 4 Outlets
. Their current require­ments may exceed the 6 Amp limit and cause the circuit breaker to trip.

Input Trigger:
Coaxial Line Protection:
This feature provides an ON/OFF trigger for the MAX 7500-Pro using a DC voltage control signal. Many components such as pre-amplifiers and receivers have a 12VDC trigger built-in, and will transmit a constant power signal when turned on and in use. This power signal will initiate the startup or shut-

down sequence of the MAX 7500-Pro outlet banks. An AC adapter of the appropriate voltage, plugged into a switched outlet on the receiver, may also be used if a 12V trigger is not built in.
Panamax's exclusive SignalPerfect™ Technology provides application specific protection for your satellite and cable TV equipment. The satellite connections are for coaxial cables connected to a DBS (single or dual LNB) satellite dish. The CATV
Output Trigger:
The MAX 7500-Pro generates its own 12VDC remote signal to control other components. In its default state, this output turns ON ten seconds after the Input Trigger receives a signal and OFF when the input

TV tuners operate at approximately 500 millivolts (1/2 volt) and utilize the frequency spectrum of 50
Modes of Operation:
The MAX 7500-Pro offers two modes of operation selected using the “Switch Settings/Custom Settings” switch. In the Switch Settings mode all of the out­let delays are configured for either Always On or Delayed operation using the five two-position slide switches.
MHz to 950 MHz. Digital cable boxes and cable modems typically operate at slightly higher voltages while cable modems utilize the frequency range below 50 MHz. The clamping level of the MAX 7500-Pro's CATV protection circuitry is 1400 milli­volts (1.4 volts). The circuitry is shielded to prevent interference and has been optimized to have less than 1dB of signal loss throughout the entire frequency range up to 950 MHz.

Satellite TV:
Satellite dish LNBs can require up to 24 volts to operate and utilize the frequency range of 950 MHz to 2.2 GHz. The clamping level of the MAX 7500­Pro's satellite protection circuitry is 25 volts, just 3 volts above the maximum operating voltage. The circuitry is shielded to prevent interference and has been optimized to have less than 1dB of signal loss throughout the entire 950 MHz to 2.2 GHz range.
Telephone Protection:
This unit provides protection to one telephone Line In (RJ-11), and incorporates a built-in splitter to Equipment 1 (RJ-11) and Equipment 2 (RJ-11).
Satellite TV receivers and DVR’s (digital video recorders) require telephone line connections for subscription services. The MAX 7500-Pro provides surge protection for this line. The circuitry utilizes auto-resetting PTCRs and solid-state SIDACtors for reliability and unsurpassed protection. The clamping level of the MAX 7500-Pro's telephone protector is 260 volts. This will allow typical ring voltage (90­130VAC) and operating battery voltage (-48DC) to pass through the circuit and still protect the modem in your satellite receiver or DVR from damage.
To protect a telephone jack:
Connect a telephone cable from the wall jack outlet to the Line In (RJ-11) jack on the MAX 7500-Pro, then connect a second telephone cable from either the Equipment 1 (RJ-11) or Equipment 2 (RJ-11) jack on the MAX 7500-Pro to the equipment’s phone jack. An RJ-11 connector with a minimum of 26 AWG conductors needs to be used when connecting to the telephone jacks.
To protect a LAN line:
Connect a network cable from the wall jack to the MAX 7500-Pro Line In (RJ-45) jack, then connect a second cable from the Equipment (RJ-45) jack on the MAX 7500-Pro to the network device jack.
Please Note:
The protection circuitry will not work if the phone lines are reversed. The incoming phone cable must be connected to the “LINE” jack and the cable to the audio/video equipment must be connected to the
“EQUIP” jack.
AC Surge Protection:
When the MAX 7500-Pro 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.
• When subjected to a 6,000V (open circuit voltage) / 500A (short circuit current) surge, the MAX 7500­Pro 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 components, the MAX 7500-Pro's Protect or Disconnect Circuitry will disconnect your equipment in order to protect it.
Patent Pending Over/Under Voltage Protection:
The MAX 7500-Pro constantly monitors the AC line voltage for unsafe voltage conditions such as pro­longed over voltages and under voltages (brownouts). These unsafe conditions pose a very dangerous threat to all electronic equipment within the home. If the MAX 7500-Pro 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 MAX 7500-Pro will automatically reconnect the power.
If the line voltage exceeds the over voltage threshold or falls below the under voltage threshold, the MAX 7500-Pro will perform the following tasks until line voltage returns to a safe level:
1. Voltage reaches an unsafe high level and the (Automatic Voltage Monitoring) AVM Circuitry disconnects.
2. Voltage reaches a safe level and AVM Circuitry automatically reconnects.
3. Voltage reaches an unsafe low level and AVM Circuitry disconnects.

TROUBLESHOOTING
My power cable does not reach the wall outlet. Can I use any extension cord to make it reach?
No, Panamax extension cords are the only extension cords that you can use while keeping your warranty valid.
The provided coax or telephone jumper cables are not long enough to reach my equipment. Can I use other cables?
Yes, any length cable of the same type is fine.
There is an audible buzz/hum coming from my Max 7500-Pro. What is the cause of this and how do I make it go away?
This can be caused by certain appliances; most commonly lamps with High-Low dimmer switch­es and some room heaters, which use only half of the AC sine wave. These appliances distort the AC wave through a small DC bias placed on the AC supply. Some custom audio equipment­especially amplifiers with toroidal power trans­formers, may react unfavorably to this distortion,
and buzz. The Max 7500-Pro’s isolation trans­former will remove this waveform distortion and protect the loads plugged into the bank 3 and 4 outlets. If the distortion is bad, you may actually hear the Max 7500-Pro buzzing slightly as it works to correct the AC power. The best way to stop the buzz is to find the source of the distur­bance (most likely a quartz lamp) and plug it into a different branch circuit. Panamax Technical Support will be glad to help you if you have any questions about this.
The 6 Amp, Isolation Transformer circuit breaker continually trips. What is the problem?
The four Isolation Transformer outlets share the 720 VA Isolation transformer for their power source. The connected equipment plugged into the four outlets are drawing more than 6 Amps collectively, causing the circuit breaker to trip. These four outlets are designed specifically for low-current, digital source components. Check to see if you have connected a high current amplifier or subwoofer to the Isolation Transformer Outlets. If so, unplug the high cur­rent components and plug them into the High Current Outlet Bank.

Some banks are not switching ON or OFF with the MAX 7500-Pro. How can I fix this?
These outlets may be set as either delayed or always-on outlets. The 2-position switches on the back panel control this. Change the setting of this switch from always-on to delayed. This will allow the corresponding banks to be switched on/off.
I connected the LED Convenience Lamp and the lamp will not work. What is the problem?
Check to see if the MAX 7500-Pro is in an unsafe voltage condition by looking to see if the unsafe voltage indicator is flashing. If the indi­cator is flashing, then wait until voltage is back to normal and the light will turn back on. If the unsafe voltage indicator is OFF and the light is still not on, call Panamax Customer Service for help.

Panamax Power Conditioner Limited Connected Equipment Protection Warranty
It is the policy of Panamax that it will, at its election, either replace, pay to replace at fair market value, or pay to repair, up to the dollar amount specified below, equipment that is damaged by an AC power, cable, telephone, or lightning surge while connected to a properly installed Panamax power conditioner. Panamax must determine that the power condi­tioner shows signs of surge damage or is oper­ating outside of design specifications, relative to its surge protection capability, and under all of the circumstances failed to protect your con­nected equipment.

THIS WARRANTY IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOW­ING CONDITIONS:
1. ORIGINAL OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENT:
Panamax’s connected equipment policy extends to the original purchaser of the Panamax product only and is non-transferable. Original purchase receipts must accompany any product return or claim for connected equipment damage.
2. PROPER INSTALLATION: Panamax AC protec­tors must be directly plugged into a properly grounded 3-wire AC outlet. Extension cords*, non-grounded two prong adapters, or other non-Panamax surge products must not be used. Building wiring and other connections to pro­tected equipment must conform to applicable codes (NEC or CEC). No other ground wires or ground connections may be used. All wires (including, e.g., AC power lines, telephone lines, signal/data lines, coaxial cable, antenna lead­ins) leading into the protected equipment must first pass through a single Panamax protector designed for the particular application. The pro­tector and the equipment to be protected must be indoors in a dry location, and in the same building. Panamax installation instructions and diagrams must be followed.
nents. Due to the nature of electricity and surges, a single protector may not be able to completely protect complex installations. In those cases, a systemic approach using multi­ple protectors must be employed. Systemic protection requires professional design. AC power, satellite cables, CATV cables, tele­phone/network lines or any other signal lines entering the system that do not pass through this surge protector may render the Panamax Connected Equipment Protection Policy null and void. For additional information on how to protect your system, please contact Panamax
Valid only in the United States and Canada.
3. NOTIFICATION: You must notify Panamax within ten days of any event precipitating a request for product replacement or payment for connected equipment damage. A return mer­chandise authorization (RMA) number must first be obtained from the Panamax Customer Relations Department at www.panamax.com/ support ** before returning the protector to Panamax. At this time, you must notify Panamax if you believe you have a claim for damaged connected equipment.
Once you obtain an RMA number, please mark the number on the bottom of the unit and pack it in a shipping carton/box with enough packing material to protect it during transit. The RMA number must also be clearly marked on the outside of the carton. Ship the unit to Panamax. Please note that you are responsible for any and all charges related to shipping the unit to Panamax.
If connected equipment damage was indicated on your RMA request, Panamax will mail you a claim kit to be completed and returned within
A connection diagram of your sys-

tem will be required as part of the claim kit. Be sure to note its configuration before dis­connecting your equipment.
4. DETERMINATION OF FAILURE: Panamax will evaluate the protector for surge damage. The Panamax protector must show signs of surge damage or must be performing outside (>10%) of design specifications relative to its surge protection capability. Opening the enclosure, tampering with, or modifying the unit in any way shall be grounds for an automatic denial of your request for payment. Panamax, after eval­uating all information provided, shall determine whether or not your request is eligible for pay­ment.
If the surge protector shows no signs of AC power or signal line surge damage and is work­ing within design specifications, Panamax will return the unit to you with a letter explaining the test results and notifying you of the rejection of your claim. Exceptions: If a dealer or installer replaces the protector for the customer, a replacement will be returned to the dealer or installer; or if the protector is a pre-1996 model, it will be replaced; or, for a Canadian customer, the protector will be replaced.
