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. An On/Off Dimmer switch controls the brightness. Please note that this switch also controls the Convenience Lamp described in the next section.
The Voltmeter samples the incoming voltage from the wall receptacle and provides a visual representation of the available power. The Voltmeter is
The Ammeter measures the amount of current being drawn by the connected equipment and the MAX® 5510. The MAX® 5510 does use a small amount of power and its current is included. The Ammeter needle will fluctuate as music or movie soundtracks call upon the amplifiers to reproduce thunderous bass notes. During an unsafe voltage condition, the Ammeter will continue measuring the amount of current being drawn by the MAX® 5510, but since all of the connected equipment has been disconnected by the SurgeGate Plus™ circuitry, the needle will be only slightly above zero.
Convenience Lamp
The convenience lamp included with your MAX® 5510 plugs into an industry standard XLR receptacle on the front or rear panel. The lamp is approximately 14" in length and will bend to provide illumination of other audio/video equipment.
Warning
1.DO NOT use lamps in both front and rear panel receptacles at the same time. This will overload the lamp’s power supply and cause damage not covered by the MAX® 5510’s warranty.
2.USE ONLY A 12V DC,
3.Make sure the protruding lamp does not interfere with cabinet or glass doors. The lamp may be removed and stored next to the unit if interference does occur.
4.DO NOT PLUG ANY OTHER TYPE OF EQUIPMENT INTO THE LAMP RECEPTACLE! XLR receptacles are also used on some audio equipment such as microphones. Damage will occur if other types of equipment are plugged into this receptacle.
On/Off/Dimmer Switch
The rotary switch located next to the lamp receptacle controls the meter backlighting and the convenience lamp. When the knob is turned completely to the left, it is in its OFF state. Turning the knob to the right will turn the lamp and meter lights ON and increase their brightness.
Convenience Outlet
A single outlet on the front panel of the MAX® 5510 provides an
The convenience outlet not only provides superior surge suppression, but also taps into one of the Balanced Double L Filter Circuits to provide clean power for your sensitive electronic equipment. This outlet is an
