Panamax Surge Protector MAX4310 User Manual

INSTRUCTIONS MAX 4310  
®
Thank you for choosing Panamax . The  
MAX® 4310 is designed to provide maxi-  
mum protection for audio/video equipment  
with external signal connections such as  
cable TV, rooftop antenna and DBS satellite  
systems.  
Note to CATV Installer:  
Phone Installation  
There is no picture or sound on my TV .  
Check the coaxial connections, making sure  
that they are correctly and securely installed.  
Ensure that the TV set is plugged into a pow-  
ered AC outlet.  
This reminder is provided to call the atten-  
tion to Article 820-40 of the NEC. That article  
provides specific guidelines for proper  
grounding. It specifies that the cable ground  
shall be connected to the grounding system  
of the building and as close to the point of  
cable entry as practical.  
1. Connect a phone cable from the wall jack  
to the LINE terminal on the telephone jack on  
the MAX® 4310.  
When running the DBS system test, the  
DBS connection displays as failed.  
Check the appropriate connections to ensure  
2. Connect the provided phone line cable  
from the EQUIP terminal on the MAX® 4310  
to the input jack on your satellite receiver.  
Please note that the protection circuitr y  
will not work if these lines are reversed.

that they are correctly and securely installed.  
NOTE: The MAX® 4310 and the connected  
equipment must be indoors and in the same  
building.  
1. Connect the coax cable from the satellite  
dish to a Satellite coax terminal on the  
MAX® 4310.  
If you continue to have trouble with your  
MAX® 4310 or this section has not fixed the  
problem, please call PANAMAX Customer  
Relations Department at 800-472-5555.  
Rack Mounting  
An optional rack mount kit is available.  
Order # GRM2205.  
AC Installation  
2. Connect the provided coax jumper cable  
to the other Satellite coax terminal on the  
MAX® 4310.  
1. Plug the MAX® 4310 directly into a prop-  
erly grounded 3-wire AC outlet*.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
CONTACTING PANAMAX  
There is no AC power to my equipment, or  
my equipment doesn’t turn on.  
Make sure that the MAX® 4310 is plugged  
into a working AC outlet. Check all AC  
connections.  
2. Turn the MAX® 4310 on.  
3. Connect the other end of the coax jumper  
cable to the input jack on your satellite  
receiver.  
For product and warranty information,  
dealer information, and other general  
information contact Customer Relations

3. Plug in one of the pieces of equipment  
you want to protect and turn the equipment on.  
Cable TV or Rooftop Antenna Coax Installation **  
If the equipment is working correctly, contin-  
ue to plug in and turn on your equipment. In  
the extremely unlikely event that everything  
does not work perfectly, stop and read the  
troubleshooting section. If you continue to  
have problems, call PANAMAX Customer  
Relations Department at 800-472-5555, USA  
and Canada.  
Make sure the MAX® 4310 and connected  
equipment is turned on. If you are using the  
12VDC trigger, make sure that the source is  
actually supplying the voltage needed to  
activate the MAX® 4310.

1. Connect the coax cable from the wall or  
floor plate to a CATV/ANT coax terminal on  
the MAX® 4310.  
Phone:  
800-472-5555  
or 707-283-5900,  
7:30 a.m.- 5 p.m.PST  
2. Connect the provided coax jumper cable  
to the other CATV/ANT coax terminal on the  
MAX® 4310.  
Check to see if the circuit breaker on the  
MAX® 4310 needs to be reset (press in).  
*Many old buildings are inadequately wired.  
It is very common for a building to be  
improperly grounded. Building wiring and  
grounding must conform to applicable NEC  
(USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the PANA-  
MAX connected equipment policy to be valid.  
3. Connect the other end of the coax jumper  
cable to the input jack on your television,  
VCR, or satellite receiver.  
The MAX® 4310 circuit breaker disconnects  
AC power from the connected equipment.  
You have exceeded the ampere rating for  
your surge protector. As a temporary fix, dis-  
connect one or more pieces of equipment.  
Ask your dealer about additional  
**There is no designated input or output jack for the  
MAX® 4310 Satelliteand CATV/ANT coax terminals.  
The coaxial protection circuitry is bi-directional in  
both signal transmission and protection capabilities.
