FEATURE DETAILS
Power Switch and LED Indicator: Momentary
Pushbutton (non-locking); activates a turn-on or
shutdown sequence for the Isolated (Switched) and
High-Current outlet banks. The Green LED will be
illuminated when the unit is plugged into an AC
outlet and the power switch is in the “ON” position.
Press and hold the button >2 seconds to turn the
High Current and Isolated outlet banks On/Off.
If the unit is already on and the power button is
pressed quickly (< 2 seconds), the High Current and
Isolated Outlet banks are turned Off, then back On
(sequenced according to the delay settings). This
prevents accidentally turning the connected equip-
ment Off and provides an easy method of cycling
power to reboot components that may lock up.
Meters: The analog meters are backlit to provide
the ability to view readings in a dark room. LEDs
(light emitting diodes) are used in order to provide
durability and long life.
The Voltmeter samples the incoming voltage from
the wall outlet and provides a visual representation of
the available power. The Voltmeter is Always-On and
indicates the incoming line voltage even during an
unsafe voltage condition. Readings above 150V will
not be accurate due to the meter’s damping charac-
teristics.
The Ammeter measures the amount of current
being drawn by the connected equipment and the
M5510-Pro. The Ammeter needle will fluctuate as
music or movie soundtracks call upon the amplifiers
to reproduce thunderous bass notes. During an
unsafe voltage condition, the Ammeter will continue
measuring the amount of current being drawn by the
Max 5510-Pro, but since all of the connected equip-
ment has been disconnected by the protection cir-
cuitry, the needle will be only slightly above zero.
Meter Lighting: The front panel pushbutton
controls the meter lighting and cycles among five
settings; High Blue, Low Blue, High Amber, Low
Amber, OFF
Diagnostic Indicator Lights: The MAX 5510-Pro
is loaded with special features to save your connect-
ed equipment from many different forms of danger-
ous power disturbances. Diagnostic lights on the
front panel inform you in the event of either a power
disturbance or when a special feature is activated.
Switched Outlets: Green LED. This light indi-
cates the status of the Isolated (Switched) and High-
Current outlet banks. When the LED is ON, both out-
let banks are on and providing power. When the LED
is OFF, the power to these two outlet banks is also
OFF.
Voltage Trigger: Green LED. This light indicates
status of the DC voltage trigger.
When enabled by the rear-panel switch and a DC
voltage is sensed by the input trigger circuitry, this
LED turns ON along with the switched outlets. Both
the LED and the outlets will be OFF when the DC
voltage trigger is not receiving a signal.
When disabled by the rear-panel switch, the LED will
remain ON and front-panel power switch will control
the On/Off status of the switched outlets.
Unsafe Voltage: Red LED. Under normal voltage
conditions, this light stays off. When this light is
flashing slowly (once every 2 seconds), it indicates
an under-voltage or over-voltage condition. When
the light is flashing quickly (twice per second), it
indicates a 10 second recovery period from an
under/over-voltage condition. This LED will flash
quickly when the MAX 5510-Pro is first plugged in
to the wall outlet.
AC Regeneration Control: Pushbutton switch
used for selecting the power supply mode for the
digital source components. One of the adjacent
LEDs for Isolated Power and Balanced Power will
illuminate to indicate the active switch position.
Isolated Power: Green LED. When this light is
ON, it indicates that the Isolated Power Mode has
been selected for the power supply to the
Isolated/Switched Outlets.
Balanced Power: Green LED. When this light is
ON, it indicates that the Balanced Power Mode has
been selected for the power supply to the
Isolated/Switched Outlets.
Convenience Outlet: A single outlet on the front
panel of the Max 5510-Pro provides an easy-to-
reach power source for electronic equipment typically
used on a part time basis. Such equipment includes
anything from video game systems to camcorders.
Do not use this outlet for household appliances like
vacuum cleaners!
The convenience outlet provides clean, protected
power for your sensitive electronic equipment. This
outlet is Always-On and will continually supply a
steady source of power. It is important to remember
that power will be disconnected only in the event of
an unsafe voltage condition.
