Front Panel Pushbutton

This button controls the “High-Current” and “Switched” outlets.

Sequential Startup/Shutdown Complex audio/video systems may be susceptible to voltage transients generated inter- nally 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. The MAX® 5410 is designed to eliminate these transients by providing a “start-up” delay for the High-Current outlets and a “shutdown” delay for Outlet Banks 1 and 2. This allows the components plugged into the switched outlets 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 sub-woofers turn off, their power supplies drain, then the equipment plugged into Outlet Banks 1 and 2 is turned off.

Information on setting the delay times is included in the Filtered Outlet Bank and High-Current Outlet Bank sections that follow.

1.Press and hold switch > 2 seconds to turn the High-Current and Switched Outlets on or off.

2.When button is pressed quickly (<2 sec.) SWITCHED and HIGH CURRENT outlets turn off for 10 seconds then turn back on in a sequence (per delay settings).The purpose is to cycle power to equipment that locks up.

Power Led: Green LED indicates On/Off status. When flashing, indicates sequence in progress.

DC Voltage Trigger: Green LED. This light indicates status of the DC voltage trigger on the back panel of the MAX® 5410. The light is ON when the DC voltage trigger is activated and OFF when the DC voltage trigger is not receiving a signal. This light will also be ON if nothing is plugged into the DC voltage trigger input jack. This indicates that the DC voltage trigger is being bypassed.
