Thank you for choosing Panamax.

The MAX ® 4400 is designed to provide AC power distribution and maximum protection for audio/ video equipment.

Inductorless Noise Filtration

Capacitive noise filtration allows amplifiers and powered subwoofers to perform to their full potential. When the movie thunders with a terrific explosion or when the music reaches a climactic crescendo, an amplifier has to rapidly draw large amounts of current to replenish its power supply capacitors. Traditional line conditioners impede this current draw, in effect, starving an amplifier and resulting in a flat, dead sound.

The MAX ® 4400 provides clean, filtered power to amplifiers but has no current-limiting components to impede performance.

INSTALLING THE MAX ® 4400

NOTE: The MAX ® 4400 and the connected equipment must be indoors and in the same building.

INSTRUCTIONS MAX

4400

TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Plug the MAX ® 4400 directly into a properly grounded 3-wire

AC outlet*.

2. Turn the MAX ® 4400 on.

3. Plug in one of the pieces of equipment you want to protect and turn the equipment on.

There is no AC power to my equipment, or my equipment doesn’t turn on .

Make sure that the MAX ® 4400 is plugged into a working AC outlet.

Check all AC connections.

If the equipment is working correctly, continue to plug in and turn on your equipment.

Make sure the MAX ® 4400 and connected equipment is turned on.

If you are using the 12VDC trigger, make sure that the source is actually supplying the voltage needed to activate the MAX ® 4400.

In the extremely unlikely event that everything does not work perfectly, stop and read the troubleshooting section. If you continue to have problems, call PANAMAX

Customer Relations Department at

800-472-5555, USA and Canada.

Check to see if the circuit breaker on the MAX

®

4400 needs to be reset (press in).

*Many old buildings are inade quately wired. It is very common for a building to be improperly grounded. Building wiring and grounding must conform to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the PANAMAX connected equipment policy to be valid.

The MAX

®

4400 circuit breaker disconnects AC power from the connected equipment.

You have exceeded the ampere rating for your surge protector.

As a temporary fix, disconnect one or more pieces of equipment. Ask your dealer about additional PANA-

MAX products that may be required.

If you continue to have trouble with your MAX ® 4400 or this section has not fixed the problem, please call PANAMAX Customer

Relations Department at 800-472-

5555.

Switched Outlets Pushbutton one of two triggers that can turn-on or turn-off the switched outlets. Leave this switch in the

ON position if the DC trigger is being used.

10 Ft. AC Power Cord -

20A Circuit Breaker - will automatically “open” when the current load is greater than 20 Amperes. When this happens, the circuit breaker can be manually reset by simply pushing the reset button, which will have “popped” out.”

Switched Outlets LED -

Indicates that the

Switched Outlets are on.

Ground Lug -

Provides a common grounding point for equipment with separate ground

Voltage Trigger LED -

(green) when lit, indicates that the DC Trigger is active (ON).

Ground OK LED -

(green) indicates that the wall outlet is properly grounded.

Unsafe Voltage - (red) when lit, indicates that incoming voltage is unsafe and the surge protector has disconnected the power to protect your equipment.

Always-on Convenience Outlet -

Always-On Outlets - Four

Always-On outlets provide a constant power source.

Switched Outlets -

Four outlets controlled by one of the two trig ger sources.

Voltage Sense Trigger

Input - 3.5mm Mini-

Plug jack. Connect to a remote trigger device that provides 12VDC to trigger a startup/ shutdown sequence. This is the second trigger that will turn-on or turn-off the switched outlets.

Turn-On Delay

Switch - Provides a 10-second

Turn-On delay for the switched outlets.
