Panamax MAX 5510 owner manual Protect or Disconnect AC Surge Protection, SurgeGate Plus Protection

FEATURE DETAILS

1.Voltage reaches an unsafe level.

2.If surge is greater than MAX ® 5500 capacity, it disconnects.

The MAX® 5510 provides protection against common problems on the AC power line. This includes spikes/surges and sus- tained overvoltages or undervoltages. Panamax’s exclusive Protect or Disconnect™ circuitry is designed to protect against spikes/surges while the SurgeGate Plus™ circuitry is for sustained over/under voltage protection.

Protect or Disconnect™ AC Surge Protection

When the MAX® 5510 ACRegenerator™ is subjected to a high voltage surge, voltage output is limited to a safe level and the high levels of surge current are diverted away from the connected equipment.

•When subjected to a 6,000V (open circuit voltage) / 500A (short circuit current) surge, the MAX® 5510 limits voltage output to less than 330V peak, UL’s lowest rating. The MAX® 5510 will withstand without damage, multiple 12,000A surges, far exceeding the UL maximum requirement of only 3,000 Ampere surges.

•If the magnitude of the surge is greater than the capacity of the surge protection components, the MAX® 5510’s Protect or Disconnect™ Circuitry will disconnect your equipment in order to protect it. The MAX® 5510 will need to be repaired or replaced by Panamax if this occurs.

1.Voltage reaches an unsafe high level and the SurgeGate Plus™ disconnects.

2.Voltage reaches a safe level and SurgeGate Plus™ automatically reconnects.

3.Voltage reaches an unsafe low level and SurgeGate Plus™ disconnects.

4.Voltage reaches a safe level and SurgeGate Plus™ automatically reconnects.

SurgeGate Plus™ Protection

The MAX® 5510 constantly monitors the AC line voltage for unsafe voltage conditions such as prolonged overvoltages and undervoltages (brownouts). These unsafe conditions pose a very dangerous threat to all electronic equipment within the home. If the MAX® 5510 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 MAX® 5510 will automatically reconnect the power.

If the line voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold (137VAC) or falls below the undervoltage threshold (95VAC), the MAX®

5510 will perform the following tasks until line voltage returns to a safe level:

1.Disconnects power to all connected equipment.

2.Unsafe Voltage LED is activated and will blink once per second during the unsafe voltage condition.

The MAX® 5510 requires line voltage to return to within the safe operating range for 10 seconds before returning to normal operating mode. This is referred to as “Over/Undervoltage Recovery”. The safe operating range is considered 5V above the under-voltage threshold (~100V) and 5V below the overvoltage threshold (~132V). Once this safe operating range is reached, the MAX® 5510 will perform the following functions:

1.Unsafe Voltage LED will blink 4 times per second for Over/Undervoltage Recovery.

2.Power is restored to all connected equipment after the 10-second delay. The normal start-up sequence as deter- mined by the “High-Current Outlets Turn-On Switch” and “Isolated Outlets Turn-Off Switch” will be followed.
