Panamax M5100-PM Specifications

LOOKING FOR CRYSTAL CLEAR PICTURE AND SOUND?

• Clean Power Level 3

Improves picture and sound quality by elimi­nating noise across the entire AC bandwidth.

60% more efficient at eliminating noise than

5100-PM

®

single stage linear filtration (Level 2).

• 3 Isolated Outlet Banks

Isolating outlet banks from one another
prevents noise contamination between
components.

• High Current Outlets

2 outlets for equipment with high power
demands (Amps/Subwoofers).

• USB Charger

Convenience charger for mp3 players, cell
phones, and other small electronics.

• Gaming LAN Port

Easy access to LAN port on front panel.
Perfect for online gaming.

• Digital Volt Meter

Monitor the voltage supplying your home
theater equipment.

• 12 Volt Trigger

Allows source equipment to activate or
deactivate the outlets on the M5100-PM.

• Power Sequencing

Guards against blown fuses and potentially
damaging speaker thump by automatically
powering outlets on and off in sequence.

• 11 Outlets

5 Always On, 4 Switched, 2 Switched High
Current.

• AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring)

Protects equipment against prolonged over/
under voltages by disconnecting the power
and reconnecting it when safe power returns.

HOME THEATER POWER MANAGEMENT

Improves Picture and Sound Quality

1

Level 3 Power Cleaning and Linear Filtration

eliminates common symptoms of contaminated power

(including loss of detail, pops, hisses, hums and visual

artifacts) and allows your A/V equipment to perform up

to its full capability.

Monitors Incoming Line Voltage and Provides a

2

Visual Indication of Power Level

Panamax’s patent pending AVM™ circuitry

continuously monitors the incoming power as displayed on the

digital voltmeter. In case of an undervoltage or an overvoltage, a

flashing lightning bolt will be displayed in red in the voltmeter, and

power to the connected equipment is automatically turned off if

either of these conditions is detected. When voltage returns to a

safe level, power to the equipment is automatically reconnected.

Reduces Cross-Contamination Between Components

3

The M5100-PM is designed to provide noise isolation

between 3 isolated outlet banks including 2 high current

outlets so that any noise created by an A/V component

can not contaminate the power going to equipment

plugged into another outlet bank.

M5100-PM BACK PANEL FEATURES

1. Circuit Breaker:

Automatically opens
when the current load
is greater than 15
Amps. Push to reset.

2. Outlet Bank 3

Two switched, high-current outlets controlled by
the front panel Power Button or the DC Trigger
input. Bank 3 has a 5 second turn on delay and
turns off immediately. The High Current outlet
provides power from a low impedance noise

filtration circuit that does not limit the current to

your equipment. Its output is noise isolated from all
other outlet banks.

3. Outlet Bank 2

Four isolated, switched outlets with linear filtration

technology (LiFT) controlled by the front panel
Power Button or the DC Trigger input. Bank 2 will
turn on immediately and turn off after 10 seconds.
LiFT EMI/RFI noise filtration is provided by a two-

stage balanced Pi filter which also provides noise

isolation from Outlet Banks 1 and 3.

4. Outlet Bank 1

Four always-on outlets with linear filtration

technology (LiFT). Power will only be turned
off under a fault condition. (See specifications
for over-voltage and under-voltage thresholds)
Power is cleaned by a two-stage balanced Pi

filter which also provides noise isolation from

Outlet Banks 2 and 3.

5. Universal Coaxial
Connectors

3 pairs of bidirectional
protection circuits optimized for
satellite, cable, and antenna
TV signal lines.

6. Main Power

Must be plugged into a
properly wired & grounded
3-wire outlet

.

7. Ground Lug:

Provides a common
grounding point for
equipment with separate
ground leads

8. Bank 1 Indicator Light

Normally ON, is lit when
there is power present on the
Bank 1 receptacles.
