2 INTRODUCTION Y our Audio/Video components are constantly being bombarded by electromagnetic interfer - ence (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) through their power cords. This contam- inated power can affect A/V equipment and will degrade the overall performance of your entire system.
3 CONNECTION DIAGRAM Multi-level noise filter and power controller USA & Canada (800) 472-5555 • (707) 283-5900 • Fax (707) 283-5901.
4 FEATURE OVERVIEW Switched Outlets Pushbutton: 1 of 2 Triggers that can activate a turn-on or shutdown sequence for Outlet Bank 2 and High-Current outlets.
5 FEATURE DETAILS Voltmeter The analog Voltmeter is backlit to provide the ability to view the reading in a dark room. LEDs (light emitting diodes) are used as the light source in order to provide durability and long life. The “Meter Light” dimmer controls the brightness level, or turns the lighting off altogether .
FEATURE DETAILS 6 Diagnostic Lights The MAX ® 5300 is loaded with special features to save your connected equipment from many different forms of dangerous power disturbances. Five diagnostic lights on the front panel inform you in the event of a power disturbance or when a spe - cial feature is activated.
7 FEATURE DETAILS Filtered Outlet Banks 1 & 2: Eight Outlets (two banks / four outlets per bank) are fed through separate "Balanced, Double L" noise filtration circuits.
8 FEATURE DETAILS High-Current Outlet Bank The two high-current outlets allow amplifiers and powered subwoofers to work 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.
9 FEATURE DETAILS SignalPerfect ™ Coaxial Line Protection All coaxial cable sheaths from outdoors must be grounded to the building grounding electrode system where they enter the building (per applicable NEC/CEC code). A driven ground rod is not adequate.
10 FEATURE DETAILS Protect or Disconnect™ AC Surge Protection When the MAX ® 5300 is subjected to a high voltage surge, its voltage output is limited to a safe level and the high levels of surge current are diverted away from the connected equipment.
