MAX® 5300-EX Owner’s Guide  
LEVEL 4 EMI/RFI Noise Filtration with Isolation Between Outlet Banks:  
Your 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 audio/video equipment  
and will degrade the overall performance of  
your entire system. Common symptoms of  
contaminated power include pops, hisses,  
hums and visual artifacts.  
The MAX 5300-EX is designed to filter this  
noise, supply clean power to your system and  
provide noise isolation between the outlet so  
that any noise created by an A/V component  
can not contaminate the power going to equip-  
ment plugged into the other outlet banks.

Key Features  
Sequential Startup/Shutdown:  
The MAX® 5300-EX voltage sense trigger input  
uses a standard 3.5mm (1/8") mini-plug jack.  
This jack has an electrically isolated switch built  
in. If nothing is inserted into the input jack, the  
voltage sense is bypassed and the Power  
Button on the front panel has sole control of the  
startup/shutdown sequence. If a plug is insert-  
ed into the input jack, the front panel switch is  
bypassed and the voltage sense becomes the  
startup/shutdown trigger. IMPORTANT, Please  
Note: The unit needs to be plugged in, and in  
the powered OFF state before inserting the DC  
input trigger mini-plug.  
• When subjected to a 6,000V (open circuit  
voltage) / 500A (short circuit current) surge,  
the MAX® 5300-EX limits its voltage output to  
less than 330V peak, UL’s best rating. The  
MAX® 5300-EX will withstand, without dam-  
age, 20,000A surges, far exceeding the UL  
requirement of only 3000 Ampere surges.  
Cable TV (Including HDTV) – TV tuners oper-  
ate at approximately 10 millivolts (0.01 V) and  
utilize the frequency spectrum up to 950 MHz.  
The clamping level of the MAX® 5300-EX's  
cable TV protection circuitry is 1400 millivolts  
(1.4 volts). That's less than 1 volt above nor-  
mal operating levels. The circuitry is also  
shielded to prevent interference.  
Complex audio/video systems may be suscep-  
tible to voltage transients generated internally  
at start-up/shutdown if all of the equipment is  
powered on or off at the same time. This can  
cause speaker “thumps” which are not only  
annoying but can also damage the speakers.  
The MAX® 5300-EX is designed to eliminate  
these transients by providing a “start-up” delay  
for the High-Current outlets and a “shutdown”  
delay for the Switched Outlet Bank. This allows  
the components plugged into the Switched  
Outlet Bank to power-up and stabilize before  
any amplifiers and powered sub-woofers are  
turned on. This sequence is reversed during  
shutdown. The amplifiers and powered sub-  
woofers turn off, their power supplies drain,  
and then the equipment plugged into the  
Switched Outlet Bank is turned off.  
• If the magnitude of the surge is greater than  
the capacity of the surge protection compo-  
nents, the MAX® 5300-EX's Protect or  
Disconnect‘ Circuitry will disconnect your  
equipment in order to protect it. The MAX®  
5300-EX will need to be repaired or replaced by  
Panamax if this occurs.  
Satellite TV - Satellite dish LNB's can require  
up to 24 volts to operate and utilize the fre-  
quency range of 950 MHz to 2.2 GHz. The  
clamping level of the MAX® 5300-EX's satellite  
protection circuitry is 25 volts - just 1 volt  
above the maximum operating voltage. The  
circuitry is also shielded to prevent interfer-  
ence.  
Automatic Over & Under Voltage Protection:  
Panamax’s patent pending power monitoring  
circuitry constantly monitors the AC line volt-  
age for unsafe voltage conditions such as pro-  
longed over-voltages and under-voltages  
(brownouts). These unsafe conditions pose a  
very dangerous threat to all electronic equip-  
ment within the home. If the MAX® 5300-EX  
senses an unsafe power condition, it will auto-  
matically disconnect your equipment from the  
power to protect equipment from damage.  
Once the voltage returns to a safe level, the  
MAX® 5300-EX will automatically reconnect  
the power.  
Application Specific Coaxial Signal Line  
Protection:  
Panamax's exclusive SignalPerfect™ Technolo-  
gy provides application specific protection for  
your satellite and cable TV equipment. Two  
lines of protection are provided for each type.  
The satellite connection is for a coaxial cable  
connected to a DBS (single or dual LNB) satel-  
lite dish. The antenna connection is for a non-  
amplified off-air antenna or cable TV line.  
Telephone Line Protection:  
Digital video recorders and satellite TV  
receivers require a telephone line connection  
for TV show scheduling and/or Pay-Per-View  
services. The MAX® 5300-EX also provides  
surge protection for this line. One pair of RJ-  
11 telephone jacks is provided for this. The cir-  
cuitry utilizes auto-resetting PTCRs and solid-  
state SIDACtors“ for reliability and unsur-  
passed protection. The clamping level of the  
MAX 5300-EX'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 from damage.  
Voltage Sense Trigger:  
This feature provides an ON/OFF trigger for the  
MAX® 5300-EX using a Direct Current voltage  
signal. Many components such as pre-ampli-  
fiers and receivers have a DC trigger built in,  
and will transmit a constant power signal when  
turned on and in use. The presence of this  
power signal will turn on the MAX® 5300-EX’s  
switched outlets. When the source component  
is turned off, the voltage trigger signal is also  
turned off and the MAX ® 5300-EX’s shutdown  
sequence is initiated. An AC Adapter of the  
appropriate voltage, plugged into a switched  
outlet, may also be used if a DC trigger is not  
built in.  
The protection circuitry has been optimized for  
each application and is not interchangeable.  
The jacks are not labeled In and Out. The cir-  
cuitry is bidirectional in both signal transmis-  
sion and protection capabilities, making it com-  
patible with the latest digital cable and satellite  
technologies.  
Protect or Disconnect AC Surge Protection:  
When the MAX® 5300-EX is subjected to a  
high voltage surge, its voltage output is limited  
to a safe level and the high levels of surge cur-  
rent are diverted away from the connected  
equipment.
