Panamax M5300-PM Owner's Manual
Panamax Power Conditioner Limited Product Warranty
Panamax warrants to the purchaser of this
Panamax audio/video component style power
conditioner, for a period of three (3) years
from the date of purchase, that the unit shall
be free of defects in design, material or workmanship, and Panamax will repair or replace
any defective unit. For product replacement
see "NOTIFICATION" below.
CAUTION
Audio/Video, computer and/or telephone system installations can be very complex systems, consisting of many interconnected
components.
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 before connecting your equipment

Key Features
Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT)
For improving picture and sound quality nothing filters AC noise better. LiFT evenly eliminates noise across the entire bandwidth,
ensuring peak audio and video performance
by reducing harmonic distortion and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. With LiFT, you
are assured consistent performance and the
highest resolution from any audio or video
playback system.
LiFT Technology EMI/RFI Noise Filtration :
Your audio/video components are constantly
being bombarded by electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference
(RFI) through their AC power source. This
contaminated power can affect audio/video
equipment and will degrade the overall performance of your entire system. Common
symptoms of contaminated power include
loss of picture detail, dull colors, pops, hisses, hums and visual artifacts.
Automatic Over & Under Voltage Protection
(AVM):
Panamax's patent pending power monitoring
circuitry constantly monitors the AC line voltage for unsafe voltage conditions such as
momentary spikes or prolonged over-voltages and under-voltages (brownouts). These
unsafe conditions pose a very dangerous
threat to all electronic equipment within the
home. If the M5300-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 M5300-PM will
automatically reconnect the power.
• When subjected to a 6,000V (open circuit
voltage) / 500A (short circuit current) surge,
the M5300-PM limits its voltage output to
less than 330V peak, UL's best rating.
METER LIGHTS
VOLTS
• If the magnitude of the surge is greater than
the capacity of the surge protection components, the M5300-PM's Protect or Disconnect
Circuitry will disconnect your equipment in
order to protect it. The M5300-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 M5300-PM is designed to provide noise
isolation between the outlet banks so that any
noise created by A/V components plugged
into the M5300-PM cannot contaminate the
power going to equipment plugged into the
other outlet banks of the M5300-PM.
Sequential Startup/Shutdown:
Complex audio/video systems may be susceptible to voltage transients generated internally at start-up/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 and/or trip product circuit breakers.
The M5300-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 subwoofers turn off, their power supplies drain,
and then the equipment plugged into the
Switched Outlet Banks are turned off.
USB Charger:
The M5300-PM features a front panel convenience charger for mp3 players, cell
phones, video game controllers, and other
small electronics. NOTE: Some devices may
not be compatible with this USB charger.
AMPS
Gaming LAN Port:
The M5300-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 M5300-PM features a convenience outlet
located on the front panel. Perfect for gaming
systems and other electronics.
Voltage Sense Trigger: The MAX5300-PM
voltage sense trigger input uses a standard
3.5mm (1/8") mini-mono plug.
This feature provides an ON/OFF trigger for
the M5300-PM using a Direct Current voltage
signal. Many components such as pre-amplifiers 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 M5300PM's switched outlets. When the source component is turned off, the voltage trigger signal
is also turned off and the M5300-PM's shutdown sequence is initiated. An AC Adapter of
the appropriate voltage plugged into a
switched outlet may also be used if a DC trigger is not built in.
Cable/Satellite/Antenna TV signal
protection
Coaxial protection circuits achieve optimum
signal quality from our new coaxial protectors
that have the smallest signal loss on the market - less than 0.5 db of attenuation from 0
MHz to 2.2 GHz. Our upgraded coaxial protection has been specifically designed to virtually 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.
M5300-PM
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 M5300-PM provides surge protection for this utilizing one pair of RJ-11 telephone jacks is provided for this. The circuitry
utilizes auto-resetting PTCRs and solidstate
SIDACtors for reliability and unsurpassed
protection. The clamping level of the M5300PM'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 damage.
LAN Protection:
Protection circuits for 10/100 baseT Ethernet
lines. Incoming LAN line MUST be plugged
into the LINE jack. Patch cord to the equipment MUST be plugged into the EQUIP jacks.
1 LAN jack goes to the front panel gaming
port. 8 wire protection, 52V clamping.
