Important Safety Points
Panamax surge protectors and the connect-
ed equipment must be indoors in a dry
location and in the same building. Although
your Panamax protector is very durable, the
internal components are not isolated from
the environment. Do not install any
Panamax product near heat emitting appli-
ances such as a radiator or heat register.
Do not install this product where excessive
moisture is present.
It is not uncommon for a building to be
improperly grounded. In order to protect
your equipment, Panamax products must
be plugged into a properly grounded 3-wire
outlet. Additionally, building wiring and
grounding must conform to applicable NEC
(USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the
Panamax warranty to be valid.
Do not use 2-blade ground adapters with
this product. If an extension cord is
required, use only Panamax #GEC1410. If
your surge protector indicates a Line Fault,
do not use the product. Call your electrician
to correct the building’s wiring.
Power Filtration and Surge
Protection for Digital Office
Equipment
The MAX®ImagePRO™ EX Series is
designed to provide clean power and pro-
tect digital office equipment from a variety
of undesirable power conditions. Digital
components are prone to operating at unac-
ceptable performance levels when exposed
to EMI/RFI interference or power fluctua-
tions (surges and spikes). Without the
proper protection,digital equipment may
experience data loss, lock-ups or even cir-
cuit damage. The MAX®ImagePRO-EX
series will protect your digital office equip-
ment from a combination of power prob-
lems including, normal and common mode
EMI/RFI noise interference, ground noise,
surges, spikes, and sustained over-voltages.
The MAX®ImagePro™-EX is available in
15-Amp (MIP-15A-EX) and 20-Amp (MIP-
20A-EX) models. This includes:
Firewall for Noise™ Circuitry – This
technology provides enhanced Neutral-to-
Ground Noise Filtration for your digital
office equipment. EMI/RFI noise can
contaminate the equipment safety ground,
which in turn will contaminate the connect-
ed digital equipment, and prevent it from
operating at peak performance levels.
GFCI Compatibility
This circuit features an improved 2-satge
common-mode architecture that provides
compatibility for GFCI’s ans NEC article
250.6.
Firewall for Noise™ - circuitry prevents
EMI/RFI noise from contaminating the con-
nected digital equipment through the
ground wiring.
Automatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM )–
This power monitoring system acts as a
gate to prevent unsafe voltages from dam-
aging sensitive electronic equipment. It
automatically detects a prolonged over-volt-
age and disconnects the power to the con-
nected equipment, then reconnects it when
the power returns to a safe level. It even
protects the MAX®ImagePro™ unit.
Wiring Fault Safety Shutoff – This technol-
ogy will detect a miswired wall receptacle or
an open-ground by monitoring the voltage
between neutral and ground. If an unsafe
condition exists, the MAX®ImagePro™ will
disconnect the power from the connected
equipment.
SignalPerfect™ Telephone Line Protection
Two pairs of RJ-11 phone jacks are avail-
able to protect a single-line telephone
modem (pins 4,5 protected) with fuseless
Auto-Resetting technology and optimized
circuitry to ensure a clean, clear signal.
Ethernet LAN Protection – Two pairs of
RJ-11/45 jacks are available to protect one
Ethernet 10/100 Base-T network connection
(all pins protected).
Diagnostic lights -
Power ON and Protection OK- (green)
normally ON - indicates that the surge
protector is functioning properly, power
is on, and it is protecting all connected
equipment.
Ground OK – (green) normally ON -
indicates that the wall outlet is properly
wired.
Line Fault – (red) normally OFF - when
lit, indicates that the wall outlet is
improperly wired.
Unsafe Power – (red) normally OFF –
when lit, indicates that incoming voltages
are unsafe and the surge protector has
disconnected the power to protect your
equipment or that there is a wiring fault.
CAUTION – Do not install this device
if there is not at least 10 meters (30 feet)
or more of wire between the electrical
outlet and electrical service panel.

Properly Connecting Your
Surge Protector
To completely protect your equipment from
power surges, every wire leading into or out
of the equipment you want to protect must
be connected to the appropriate Panamax
surge protector. Damaging lightning and
power surges can get into your system
through any AC power or signal line (phone
lines, grounding wires, LAN cables, modem
cables, etc.) connected to your electrical
equipment.
Installation Procedures
1. Turn OFF the power to all equipment that
will be plugged into the unit.
2. Plug the protector into a properly ground-
ed AC outlet.
3. Once proper AC wiring and grounding has
been established via a green “Ground OK”
light, plug the equipment to be protected
into the AC outlets on the unit.
4. Note the position of the IN and OUT jack
on the ImagePro™ -EX unit. The IN jacks
are for the line connections that come from
the wall or floor jack. The OUT jacks are the
line connections to your connected equip-
ment.
5. Plug the incoming LAN and/or telephone
line into the appropriate IN jack. The line
should now be connected between the wall
and the unit.
6. Plug the LAN and/or phone cord into the
appropriate OUT jack. Plug the other end
into the equipment to be protected.
7. One at a time, turn each piece of connect-
ed equipment ON and check for power and
correct operation.
Security Lock Installation
Security Lock – An equipment-to-protector
cord security lock is included with the
MAX®ImagePro™. This feature will allow
the user to attach and lock the connected
equipment’s power cord to the protector.
This will insure that the protector remains
connected to the office equipment, which is
a useful tool for ensuring the validity of
service agreements.
1. Open the security lock and route both
power cords (surge protector and connect-
ed equipment) through the hasp.
2. Close the lock around the power cords.
Your equipment is now locked to the
MAX®ImagePro™.
