Panamax M5510-PRO Owner's Manual - Feature Details
Telephone/LAN Line Protection:
This unit provides both telephone and LAN protec-
tion on one set of RJ-11/45 jacks. The telephone
circuit uses pins 4 & 5 while the LAN circuit uses
pins 1, 2, 3 & 6. Adapters or custom cables (not
included) must be used when utilizing both protec-
tion circuits at the same time.
Satellite TV receivers and DVR’s (digital video
recorders) require telephone line connections for
subscription services. The MAX 5510-Pro provides
surge protection for this line. The circuitry utilizes
auto-resetting PTCRs and solid-state SIDACtors“ for
reliability and unsurpassed protection. The clamping
level of the MAX 5510-Pro's telephone protector is
260 volts. This will allow typical ring voltage (90-
130VAC) and operating battery voltage (-48DC) to
pass through the circuit and still protect the modem
in your satellite receiver or DVR from damage.
To protect a telephone modem line (DVR or Satellite
TV receiver) or network cable, connect a telephone
cable or network cable from the wall jack outlet to the
LINE jack of the 5510-PRO. Then connect a tele-
phone cable or network cable from the EQUIP. jack
on the UPS to the equipment’s telephone jack or net-
work device.
Please Note: The protection circuitry will not work
if the phone lines are reversed. The incoming phone
cable must be connected to the “LINE” jack and the
cable to the audio/video equipment must be connect-
ed to the “EQUIP” jack.

Circuit Breakers:
There are two separate circuit breakers on the back
panel of the MAX 5510-Pro. The main circuit
breaker will trip only if the total current draw
exceeds the maximum current rating (15A). This
means that collectively, all outlets must draw more
than 15 Amps before the circuit breaker will trip.
There is also a 6 Amp circuit breaker to protect
the 720 VA Isolation Transformer and its circuitry.
The Isolation Transformer provides pure power for
digital source components, which require very little
current to operate at peak performance.
Please note:
Do not plug high-powered
amplifiers or powered subwoofers into the
Isolation Transformer Outlets. Their current
requirements may exceed the 6 Amp limit
and cause the circuit breaker to trip.
Coaxial Line Protection:
All coaxial cable sheaths from outdoors must
be grounded to the building grounding elec-
trode system where they enter the building
(per applicable NEC/CEC code). A driven
ground rod is not adequate.
Panamax's exclusive SignalPerfect™ Technology
provides application specific protection for your
satellite and cable TV equipment. The satellite
connections are for coaxial cables connected to a
DBS (single or dual LNB) satellite dish. The CATV
connection is for a non-amplified rooftop antenna or
cable TV line. Alternatively, it may be used to protect
the equipment plugged into the MAX 5510-Pro from
"backdoor" surges in situations where the video
signal is run to another room for a 2nd television.
Cable TV (Including HDTV) & Cable Modems:
TV tuners operate at approximately 500 millivolts
(1/2 volt) and utilize the frequency spectrum of 50
MHz to 950 MHz. Digital cable boxes and cable
modems typically operate at slightly higher voltages
while cable modems utilize the frequency range
below 50 MHz. The clamping level of the MAX
5510-Pro's CATV protection circuitry is 1400 milli-
volts (1.4 volts). The circuitry is shielded to prevent
interference and has been optimized to have less than
1dB of signal loss throughout the entire frequency
range up to 950 MHz.
Satellite TV: Satellite dish LNB's can require up to
24 volts to operate and utilize the frequency range of
950 MHz to 2.2 GHz. The clamping level of the MAX
5510-Pro's satellite protection circuitry is 27 volts;
just 3 volts above the maximum operating voltage.
The circuitry is shielded to prevent interference and
has been optimized to have less than 1dB of signal
loss throughout the entire 950 MHz to 2.2 GHz
range.

AC Surge Protection:
When the MAX 5510-Pro AC Regenerator is subject-
ed to a high voltage surge, its voltage output is limit-
ed 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-
Pro limits its voltage output to less than 330V peak,
UL’s best rating.
• If the magnitude of the surge is greater than the
capacity of the surge protection components, the
MAX 5510-Pro's Protect or Disconnect Circuitry‘ will
disconnect your equipment in order to protect it.
