FEATURE DETAILS
SignalPerfect
™
Coaxial Line Protection
All coaxial cable sheaths from outdoors must be grounded to the building grounding electrode system
where they enter the building (per applicable NEC/CEC code). A driven ground rod is not adequate.
Panamax’s exclusive SignalPerfect™ Technology provides application-specific protection for your satellite and cable TV
equipment. Two lines of protection are provided for each type. The satellite connections are for coaxial cables connected to
a DBS (single or dual LNB) satellite dish. The antenna connection is for a non-amplified rooftop antenna or cable TV line.
The Additional TV connection protects the equipment plugged into the MAX
®
5410 from “backdoor” surges in situations
where the video signal runs to another room for a downline TV.
Cable TV (Including HDTV)
– TV tuners operate at approximately 10 millivolts (0.01 V) and utilize the frequency spec-
trum of 50Mhz to 950Mhz. The clamping level of the MAX
®
5410’s cable TV protection circuitry is 700 millivolts (0.7 volts).
That’s less than 1 volt above normal operating levels. The circuitry is shielded to prevent interference and has been opti-
mized to have less than 1dB of signal loss throughout the entire 50Mhz to 950Mhz range.
Satellite
- Satellite dish LNB’s can require up to 24 volts to operate and utilize the frequency range of 950Mhz to 2.2Ghz.
The clamping level of the MAX
®
5410’s satellite protection circuitry is 27 volts - just 3 volts above the maximum operating
voltage. The circuitry is shielded to prevent interference and has been optimized to have less than 1dB of signal loss
throughout the entire 950Mhz to 2.2Ghz range.
SignalPerfect
™
Telephone Line Protection
Satellite TV receivers require a telephone line connection for Pay-Per-View services. The MAX
®
5410 also provides surge
protection for this line. The circuitry utilizes auto-resetting PTCRs and solid-state SIDACtors™ for reliability and unsur-
passed protection. The clamping level of the MAX
®
5 4 1 0 ’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.
RJ-11 phone jacks are provided for this protection. A built-in line splitter allows 2 separate components to be connected to
the same phone lines.
Please note:
The protection circuitry will not work if the phone lines are reversed. The incoming phone cable must be
connected to the "LINE" jack and the cable to the audio/video equipment must be connected to the "EQUIP" jack.
Power Cord
The MAX
®
5410 comes equipped with a UL recognized, 10 foot, IEC320 power cord rated for 120V, 15-Amps, minimum 14
gauge wire and the cord secured to the enclosure with a cord retention bracket. The cord is not intended to be removed.
