Features Descriptions
1
BlueBOLT™:
Remote Power Management technology provides secure, hosted IP
(Internet Protocol) system control. With BlueBOLT™, custom electronics
installers, integrators and end-users can remotely monitor and control power to
home theater equipment by accessing power management components from
anywhere in the world. From simple system reboots to comprehensive monitoring
of power status, BlueBOLT™ provides the power to control complex A/V systems
from their most fundamental level: their power source (M4000-PRO).
LiFT Technology EMI/RFI Noise Filtration :
Your audio/video components are constantly being bombarded by electromag-
netic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) through their AC
power source. This contaminated power can affect audio/video equipment and
will degrade the overall performance of your entire system. Common symptoms
of contaminated power include loss of picture detail, dull colors, pops, hisses,
hums and visual artifacts.
Protect-or-Disconnect:
In the event of a catastrophic power surge, such as a direct lightning hit, the
Panamax unit will disconnect AC power to connected equipment.
Automatic Over & Under Voltage Protection (AVM):
Panamax’s patented power monitoring circuitry constantly monitors the AC line
voltage for unsafe voltage conditions such as momentary spikes or prolonged
over-voltages and under-voltages (brownouts). These unsafe conditions pose a
very dangerous threat to all electronic equipment within the home. If the M4000-
PRO senses an unsafe power condition, it will automatically disconnect your
equipment from the power to protect equipment from damage. Once the voltage
returns to a safe level, the M4000-PRO will automatically reconnect the power.
• When subjected to a 6,000V (open circuit voltage) / 3,000A (short circuit cur-
rent) surge, the M4000-PRO limits its voltage output to less than 330V peak,
UL’s lowest rating.
• If the magnitude of the surge is greater than the capacity of the surge pro-
tection components, the M4000-PRO’s Protect or Disconnect Circuitry will dis-
connect your equipment in order to protect it. The M4000-PRO will need to
be repaired or replaced by Panamax if this occurs within the product’s 3 year
warranty.
Sequential Startup/Shutdown:
Complex audio/video systems may be susceptible to voltage transients gener-
ated 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 and/or trip product circuit break-
ers. The M4000-PRO is designed to eliminate these transients by providing a
“start-up” delay for the Bank 3 outlets and a “shut-down” delay for the other-
Outlet Banks. This minimizes inrush current issues by allowing the components
plugged into the Switched Outlet Banks to power-up and stabilize before any
amplifiers and powered subwoofers are turned on. This sequence is reversed
during shut-down. The amplifiers and powered subwoofers turn off, their power
supplies drain, and then the equipment plugged into the Switched Outlet Banks
are turned off. Additionally, the start-up and shut-down delays can be adjusted
for custom applications.
Voltage Sense Trigger:
The M4000-PRO voltage sense trigger input uses a standard 3.5mm (1/8”)
mini-mono plug. This feature provides an ON/OFF trigger for the M4000-PRO
using a Direct Current (DC) voltage signal. Many components such as pre-am-
plifiers 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 M4000-PRO’s switched outlets. When the source component is
turned off, the voltage trigger signal is also turned off, and the M4000-PRO’s
shutdown sequence is initiated. An AC Adapter of the appropriate voltage (5-24
VDC) plugged into a switched outlet may also be used if a DC trigger is not
built in.
Cable/Satellite/Antenna TV signal protection:
Coaxial protection circuits achieve optimum signal quality from our new coaxial
protectors that have the smallest signal loss on the market - less than 0.5 db
of attenuation from 0 Hz to 2.2 GHz. Our upgraded coaxial protection has been
specifically designed to virtually eliminate signal loss. The clamping level of 75V
will meet the demands of both cable and satellite voltage while minimizing ex-
posure to damaging spikes and surges.
Telephone Line Protection:
Digital video recorders and satellite TV receivers require a telephone line con-
nection for TV show scheduling and/or Pay-Per-View services. The M4000-PRO
also provides surge protection for this line. One pair of RJ-11 telephone jacks
is provided for this. The circuitry utilizes auto-resetting PTCRs and solid state
SIDACtors® for reliability and unsurpassed protection. The clamping level of
the M4000-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 from damage.
Incoming tel line must be plugged into the IN Jack. Patch cord to the equipment
must be plugged into OUT.
LAN Protection:
Protection circuits for 10/100/1000 baseT Ethernet lines. 8 wire protection,
60V clamping.

ADVANCED OPERATION
M4000-PRO provides a built-in HTTP (web page server at default port 80) which can
be accessed via a typical “web page browser” allowing the user to configure the
network settings.
• DHCP or static IP address assignment
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway Address
• DNS server Address 1
On start-up, M4000-PRO will use two IP addresses on its Ethernet connection:
1. A random link-local address can be discovered by link-local utilities such as the
Bonjour zero-configuration networking utility by Apple.
2. A local network address, either statically assigned, or from DHCP. If the address
was assigned by DHCP it can be discovered by inspection of your router’s
connected devices table.
In addition to providing external access and control via Panamax/Furman’s hosted
BlueBOLT platform, M4000-PRO may also be interfaced to control and automation
systems on the local area network. Command, information and event messages are
provided in standard XML format over UDP port 57010.

POWER CYCLE AND OUTLET SEQUENCING
The outlet banks of the M4000-PRO are configured to turn on and off in a
programmed sequence where each outlet bank has a set of programmed delay
times.
Outlet Bank Power Cycle Delay Turn On Delay Turn Off Delay Trigger Enable
1 30 seconds 0 seconds 10 seconds Enabled
2 30 seconds 0 seconds 10 seconds Enabled
3 30 seconds 10 seconds 0 seconds Enabled
Power Cycle Delay: When a Power Cycle is initiated, the outlet bank will immediately turn off and then turn back on after the Power Cycle Delay time
Turn On Delay: When a Turn On Sequence is initiated, the outlet bank will turn ON after the Turn On Delay time.
Turn Off Delay: When a Turn Off Sequence is initiated, the outlet bank will turn OFF after the Turn Off Delay time.
The delay times are pre-programmed but may be changed on the BlueBOLT web
site or by issuing the <set> command to the Ethernet port (see the Advanced
Operation section for details). The default configuration is:
Trigger Enable: When enabled, the outlet bank will switch ON or OFF during
a sequence initiated by the DC trigger or a <sequence> command received on
the Ethernet port. During a turn on sequence following power-up or recovery
from a fault condition, the outlets will return to their pre-fault power state re-
gardless of the DC trigger status.
A turn-on sequence is initiated upon power-up, recovery from a fault condition,
the DC trigger input going from 0V to 5-24VDC or by the <sequence> com-
mand received on the Ethernet port.
When the M4000-PRO is powered-up, recovering from an over-voltage shutoff
or recovering from an under-voltage shutoff, the outlet banks will return to their
pre-fault ON/OFF state after the programmed Turn On Delay time.
When the DC trigger input goes from 0V to 5-24VDC or the <sequence> com-
mand is received on the Ethernet port, the outlet banks that are trigger-enabled
turn on after the programmed Turn On Delay time.
A turn-off sequence is initiated by the DC trigger input going from 5-24VDC to
OV or by the <sequence> command received on the Ethernet port.

Advanced Operation:
All messages are encapsulated in standard XML format. As per XML standard, It
is required that the XML version declaration be included at the start of each mes-
sage. Messages that do not conform to the standard will be ignored. In addition
to the XML version declaration, every message must also specify the type of de-
vice (model) and its unique MAC ID (mac) in its root element using the <device>
tag. For M4000-PRO, device class is “m4000” and the MAC is expressed with no
formatting. An example message would thus look like:
<?xml version=”1.0” ?><device class=”m4000” id=”1065a3030000”>…</
device>
This would be considered the “envelope” for all messages, where the “…” is to
be considered the “contents” of the message.
Example Event Message
Event message for outlet bank 3 switched ON
<?xml version=”1.0” ?>
<device class=”m4000” id=”1065a30000”>
<event time=”1403729752”>
<settings time=”1403729752”>
<outlet id=”3”>1</outlet>
</settings>
</event>
</device>
There are three types of messages: event messages, information messages and
command messages.
Event messages are sent in response to a change of device status or settings. It
should be noted that events are not sent in reply to a query.
Command messages are set to the M4000-PRO to query information, change
settings or initiate an action.
Information messages are sent from M4000-PRO in response to a query com-
mand.
Examples of the message format are provided in the table below.
Example Command Message
Command to switch outlet bank 2 OFF
<?xml version=”1.0” ?>
<device class=”m4000” id=”1065a30000”>
<command>
<outlet id=”2”>1</outlet>
</command>
</device>
Example Information Message
Snippet of the response to <sendinfo> query
<?xml version=”1.0” ?>
<device class=”m4000” id=”1065a30000”>
<info time=”1403729752”>
<sernum>12345678</sernum>
<fwver>1.0.1</fwver>
..
</info>
</device>
The following sections document the possible message content and it should be assumed that the contents are always enclosed by the “envelope” and that the “enve-
lope” text will not be repeated, unless needed for clarity.
Action and Queries
Command messages are sent to the M4000-PRO to have it perform a task. The task can be to perform a physical action such as switching an outlet bank and is referred
to as an action. When the task is to transmit data such as device status it is referred to as a query. Whether the task is an action or query, the message is classified as a
command.
General Query Element Structure
All query command messages are contained within a <command> element. The M4000-PRO responds to the query with a set of elements enclosed in the <info>,
<status> or <settings> element depending on the type of query. Every query contains a timestamp attribute “time”. The timestamp is in standard UNIX time, up to 10
decimal digit characters and represents the number of seconds that have passed since January 1st 1970 GMT.
A sample query and response:
Query Response
<command><sendinfo/></command> <info time=”1403729752”>
<sernum>12345678</sernum>
<fwver>1.0</fwver>
<bootcodever>1.0</bootcodever>
<ipaddr>3194548209</ipaddr>
</info>
If the command is for an action such as switching an outlet bank, the M4000-PRO will not necessarily provide a response message. If it is desired to receive an acknowl-
edgement of receiving the command, the optional “xid” attribute may be included in the <command> element. Command messages with the “xid” attribute expressed
will return an acknowledgement enclosed in an <ack> element.
For example, when the message
<?xml version=”1.0” ?><device class=”m4000” id=”1065a3030000”><command xid=”123”><outlet id=”1”>0</outlet></command></device>
Is received by the M4000-PRO, it will respond with
<?xml version=”1.0” ?><device class=”m4000” id=”1065a3030000”><ack xid=”123”></device>

EVENTS
Event messages are sent autonomously from M4000-PRO when some change occurs within the device – they are not replies to a query.
Subscribing to Event Messages
After start-up, M4000-PRO will not send any event messages. To receive event messages a command to “subscribe” to events must be sent.
The event subscription command is enclosed within the XML declaration and <device> element and is as follows:
...<commands><eventmgr><subscribe uri=”ctrlsys://IPADDR:PORT”/></eventmgr></commands>...
IPADDR is the IP address and port number where the event messages should be sent. It may be a different IP address than the control system which sent the request.
PORT is the UDP port number.
Only one IP address / port event subscription is allowed.
For example, to have event messages sent from a M4000-PRO with MAC address 10-65-A3-03-FF-FF to a control system at IP address 192.168.0.127 listening
on port 1726:
<?xml version=”1.0” ?><device class=”m4000” id=”1065a303ffff”><eventmgr><subscribe uri=”ctrlsys://192.168.0.127:1726”/></event-
mgr></device>
The unsubscribe command follows the same format
...<commands><eventmgr><unsubscribe uri=”ctrlsys://IPADDR:PORT”/></eventmgr></commands>...
General Event Element Structure
All event messages are contained within an <event> element, which will contain a timestamp attribute, “time”, and an event ID attribute, “evtid”. The time attribute is
a UNIX timestamp, up to 10 decimal digit characters and represents the number of seconds that have passed since January 1st 1970 GMT. The evtid attribute is the
numeric ID value of the event message, starting from 0 after each device start-up.
A sample event element: <event time=”1234567890” evtid=”123” subsid=”1”>…</event>
Event Messages:
Outlet State Change
An Outlet State Change event is posted when any of the outlet banks turn ON->OFF or OFF->ON.
Element Tag: <seq>
Attribute: None
Content 0 | 1 | 2 0 = sequence done/finished/complete
1 = turn on sequence initiated
2 = turn off sequence initiated
Example: <seq>0</seq> Sequence has completed
Sequence Status
A Sequence Status event is posted when a power on or power off sequence is initiated or completed.
A subscriber ID, “subsid” is assigned to each event subscription.
A sample event message for outlet bank 2 switching ON:
…<event time=”1234567890” evtid=”123” subsid=”1”><outlet id=”2”>1</outlet></event></device>
Event messages will be repeated until an acknowledgement message is sent back to M4000-PRO, or after a timeout period of approximately 20 minutes. The acknowl-
edgement message must contain the same evtid and subsid as the event message.
The acknowledgement message syntax is:…<command><eventmgr><ack evtid=”123” subsid=”1”></eventmgr></command></device>

</schedmgr>
Scheduled Action Fired
A Scheduled Action Fired event is posted when the M4000-PRO performs a scheduled operation.
13
The <day> element contains the daysofweek value for the days of the week the action is scheduled to fire. This element is a bit tricky in that the scheduled days are
encoded in a 7-bit binary bitmap that is provided in decimal format. To process the data it must be converted from decimal to binary where each bit represents a day of
the week the action is scheduled. Bit 0 represents Thursday.
