Improves Picture and Sound Quality
Power Cleaning and Filtration eliminates common symptoms
of contaminated power (including loss of detail, pops, hisses, hums and
visual
artifacts) and allows your A/V equipment to perform up to its full
capability. AC Regeneration feeds pure clean power to 4 isolated
outlets for video displays and source components.
Monitors Incoming Line Voltage and Provides a Visual
Indication of Power Level
Panamax’s patent pending AVM™ circuitry continuously monitors the
incoming power and amperage draw of connected equipment as dis-
played on the digital meters. A red lightning bolt below the voltmeter will
flash to indicate an under or over voltage condition. Power to the con-
nected equipment is automatically turned off if either of these conditions
is detected. When voltage returns to a safe level, power to the equipment
is automatically reconnected.
Reduces Cross-Contamination Between Components
The M5500-EX is designed to provide noise isolation between 5 isolated
outlet banks including 2 high current outlets so that any noise created by
an A/V component cannot contaminate the power going to equipment
plugged into the other outlet banks.

Main Circuit
Breaker
Automatically opens
when the current
load is greater than
15 Amps.
Ground Lug
Provides a common grounding
point for equipment with separate
ground leads.
Main Power
Must be plugged
into a properly
wired & grounded
3-wire outlet
Isolation Transformer
Circuit Breaker
Automatically opens when the
combined current load for
Outlet Banks 3 and 4 is greater
than 4 Amps.
Outlet Banks 1 & 2
Two always on outlets per bank. Power will only be
turned off under a fault condition. (See specifications
for over-voltage and under-voltage thresholds)
Power for each bank is cleaned by a four-stage bal-
anced Pi filter. Banks 1 and 2 are noise isolated from
each other as well as all other outlet banks.
Outlet Banks 3 & 4
Two switched outlets per bank. ON/OFF status is controlled by the
front panel Power Button or the DC Trigger input. They will turn on
immediately and turn off after 10 seconds. EMI/RFI noise filtration
is provided by the Isolation Transformer in conjunction with a three-
stage balanced Pi filter. Banks 3 and 4 are noise isolated from each
other as well as all other outlet banks.
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. The High Current outlets
provide power from a low impedance noise filtra-
tion circuit that does not limit the current to your
equipment. Its output is noise isolated from all of
the other outlet banks.
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.
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 MAX® 5500-EX to
control the startup/shutdown of
an additional device.
High Current Outlets
Delay Switch For
Outlet Bank 5
Allows the outlet bank to be set
as “Always ON” or with a 5
second turn-on delay
Isolation Transformer Outlets Delay Switch For Outlet Banks 3 & 4
Allows the outlet banks to be set as “Always ON” or with a 10 second turn-off delay
LAN Jacks
Protection circuits
for 10/100 baseT
Ethernet lines.
Phone Jacks
Protection circuits for stan-
dard telephone or pay-per-
view lines. Phone circuit is
auto-resetting.
Satellite TV
Coax Jacks
Bidirectional protection
circuit optimized for
satellite TV signal lines.
Cable TV Coax Jacks
Bidirectional protection circuit opti-
mized for cable TV, off-air antennas
and cable modem signal lines.
