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 to the surge protector.

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-volt- ages 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.
• 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.
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-ampli- fiers 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.
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.
