Power Indicators
Indicates the status of the
rear panel outlets. The LED
outlet bank icon will be lit
when the corresponding out-
lets are turned ON. They will
flash during the startup and
shutdown process.
Power Button
Press and hold for
one second to turn
Bank 3, 4, and 5 out-
lets ON or OFF.
Wiring OK LED
Normally On. Indicates
that the wall outlet is
properly grounded and
Line/Neutral polarity is
correct.
USB Charging Port
For charging portable
electronic devices
while protecting them
from unsafe voltages.
USB 5V.
Display Indicator
Dimmer/Meter Mode
Pushbutton control for meter
and front panel indicator
brightness. Quick press
cycles between four bright-
ness settings. Press and hold
toggles the meter 2 display
between Volts-Out and Amps.
Gaming Outlet
Convenient front
panel switched outlet
provides voltage
regulation and surge
protection for gaming
systems, digital cam-
eras, camcorders,
and other devices.
Digital Voltmeter
Digital LED voltmeter indicates the incoming line voltage. If line
voltage drops below 90VAC, or if the line voltage exceeds 142VAC,
the display will turn off and the “unsafe voltage” indicator will flash
indicating an unsafe voltage condition.
Digital Volts Out/Ammeter
Shows the voltage the unit is providing to connected components, when the
Meter Mode button is activated, displays actual current draw (0-15A) of the
system, giving a visual reference as to how the system is functioning under a
variety of conditions. Volts out meter will flash if the unit is out of regulation.
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.
Unsafe Voltage Indicator
Located in the Voltmeter and
is normally off. Flashes red
to indicate that the incoming
line voltage is unsafe and the
unit has disconnected the
power to protect your equip-
ment.

Ground Lug
Provides a common
grounding point for
equipment with sep-
arate ground leads.
Main Power
Must be plugged into a
properly wired &
grounded 3-wire outlet.
Universal TV Coaxial Jacks
3 pairs of bidirectional pro-
tection circuits optimized for
satellite, cable, and antenna
TV signal lines.
Phone Jacks
Protection circuits for standard
telephone or pay-per- view
lines. Phone circuit is auto-
resetting. Incoming phone
cord MUST be plugged into
the LINE jack. Patch cords to
the equipment (satellite receiv-
er, digital video recorder, tele-
phone, etc.) MUST be plugged
into the EQUIP jacks.
LAN Jacks
Protection circuits for 10/100 baseT
Ethernet lines. For the LAN 2 pro-
tected jacks, the incoming LAN line
MUST be plugged into the LINE jack
and the patch cord to the equipment
MUST be plugged into the EQUIP
jack. For the LAN 1 protected jacks
the incoming LAN line must be
plugged into the LINE jack and the
equipment must be plugged into the
gaming jack on the front panel. 8
wire protection, 52V clamping.
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 upon shutdown. The High
Current outlets provide power from a low imped-
ance noise filtration circuit that does not limit the
current to your equipment. Its output is noise
isolated from all other outlet banks
Outlet Banks 3 and 4
Two switched outlets with linear filtration tech-
nology (LiFT) controlled by the front panel
Power Button or the DC Trigger input. Banks 3
& 4 will turn on immediately and turn off after
a 10 second delay. LiFT EMI/RFI noise filtration
is provided by a two-stage balanced Pi filter
which also provides noise isolation from all
other outlet banks.
Outlet Banks 1 and 2
Two always-on outlets with linear filtration tech-
nology (LiFT). Power will only be turned off under
a fault condition (See specifications for over-volt-
age and under-voltage thresholds). LiFT EMI/RFI
noise filtration is provided to Banks 1 & 2 by a
two-stage balanced Pi filter which also provides
noise isolation from all other outlet banks.

Voltage Sense
Trigger Output
3.5mm (1/8”) Mini-Plug
jack. Connecting a trigger
wire to the Voltage Sense
Output jack will allow the
input signal to pass
through the M5400-PM to
control the startup/shut-
down of an additional
device.
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.
