M5400 -EX Front Panel Features

Power Button

Press and hold for 2 sec- onds to turn Outlet Banks 3, 4 and 5 ON or OFF. This switch is bypassed if the rear panel DC Trigger input is being used.

Power LEDs

Indicates the status of the rear panel outlets. LEDs for each outlet bank will be lit when the outlets are turned ON. They will flash during the start- up and shutdown process.

Wiring OK LED

Normally On. Indicates that the wall outlet is properly grounded and Line/Neutral polarity is correct.

Meter Dimmer

Pushbutton control for meter LED brightness. Cycles between Off, Low, Medium and High.

Voltmeter

Digital LED voltmeter indi- cates incoming line voltages between 90–140VAC.

Ammeter

Shows the actual current draw (0-15A) of all your con- nected components, giving a visual reference as to how your system is functioning under a variety of conditions.

Convenience

Outlet

Provides a quick con- venient way to plug in components such as camcorders and video game systems.

Unsafe Voltage Indicator

Normally Off. Flashes to indicate that the incom- ing line voltage is unsafe and the unit has discon- nected the power to protect your equipment.

M5400 -EX Back Panel Connection Features

Circuit Breaker

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

Outlet Banks 3 & 4

Two switched outlets per bank. ON/OFF status is controlled by the front panel Power Button or the DC Trigger input. They will turn on immediately and turn off after 10 seconds. EMI/RFI noise filtration is pro- vided by the Isolation Transformer in con- junction with a three-stage balanced Pi fil- ter. Banks 3 and 4 are noise isolated from each other as well as all other outlet banks.

Outlet Banks 1 & 2

Two always on outlets per bank. Power will only be turned off under a fault condition. (See specifica- tions for over-voltage and under- voltage thresholds) Power for each bank is cleaned by a four-stage bal- anced Pi filter. Banks 1 and 2 are noise isolated from each other as well as all other outlet banks.

Satellite TV

Coax Jacks

Bidirectional protection cir- cuit optimized for satellite TV signal lines. Do not use for cable TV off-air anten- nas and cable modems.

Main Power

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

Ground Lug

Provides a common grounding point for equipment with sep- arate ground leads.

Outlet Bank 5

Two switched, high current outlets controlled by the front panel Power Button or the DC Trigger input. Bank 5 has a 5 second turn on delay and turns off immediately. The High Current outlets pro- vide power from a low impedance noise filtration circuit that does not limit the current to your equipment. Its output is noise isolated from all of the other outlet banks.

Voltage Sense

Trigger Input

3.5mm (1/8”) Mini-Plug jack. Connect to a remote trigger device that uses a DC output to trigger a startup/shutdown sequence. This bypasses the front panel power switch. Important, Please Note: The unit needs to be plugged in, and in the powered OFF state before inserting the DC input trigger mini-plug.

Voltage Sense

Trigger Output

3.5mm (1/8”) Mini-Plug jack. Connecting a trig- ger wire to the Voltage Sense Output jack will allow the input signal to pass through the MAX® 5400-EX to control the startup/shutdown of an additional device.

High Current Outlets

Delay Switch For

Outlet Bank 5

Allows the outlet bank to be set as “Always ON” or with a 5 second turn-on delay

Switched Outlets Delay Switch For Outlet Banks 3 & 4

Allows the outlet banks to be set as “Always ON” or with a 5 second turn- off delay

LAN Jacks

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.

Phone Jacks

Protection circuits for standard telephone or pay- per-view lines. Phone cir- cuit is auto-resetting. Incoming phone cord MUST be plugged into the LINE jack. Patch cords to the equipment (satellite receiver, digital video recorder, telephone, etc.) MUST be plugged into the EQUIP jacks.

Note to CATV Installers:

This reminder is provided to call attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC. That article provides specific guidelines for proper grounding.It specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building and as close to the point of entry as practical.
