More information is avail-able on our website (www.panamax.com)or from our Customer Support Department(800-472-5555; 7:30AM – 4:30PM PST).If you have any questions about which pro-tector is best for your application, pleasecheck our website (www.panamax.com) orcontact Panamax Customer Support.PROPERLY CONNECTING YOURSURGE PROTECTORTo completely protect your equipment fromsurges, every wire leading into or out ofthe equipment you want to protect must beconnected to the appropriate Panamaxsurge protector. Damaging lightning andpower surges can enter your systemthrough any AC power or signal-line(phone line, grounding wires, coax cables,modem cables, LAN cables, etc.) connect-ed to your electronic equipment.IMPORTANT SAFETY POINTSPanamax surge protectors and the con-nected equipment must be indoors, in adry location and in the same building.Although your Panamax protector is verydurable, its internal components are notisolated from the environment. Do notinstall any Panamax product near heatemitting appliances such as a radiator orheat register. Do not install this productwhere excessive moisture is present; forexample near a bathtub, sink, pool, base-ment floor, fish tank, etc.It is not uncommon for a building to beimproperly grounded. In order to protectyour equipment, Panamax products mustbe plugged into a properly wired andgrounded 3-wire outlet. Additionally,building wiring and grounding must con-form to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC(Canada) codes for the Panamax protec-tion policy to be valid.Do not use 2-blade adapters or any other“power strips” with this product. Use onlyPanamax extension cords if a longer cordis required.M8-HT-PRO – Provides AC power(surge, under-voltage and over-voltage)protection, coaxial (CATV, off-air antenna,SAT or cable modem) protection and tele-phone/LAN line protection for electronicdevices. In addition, it features a 12VDCinput trigger and two banks (4 AC outletseach) of noise filtration circuitry. One, acapacitive filter circuit, is for high-currentdraw components like powered sub-woofers or amplifiers. The other is a bal-anced double L filter for A/V sourceequipment or display devices.This model features Panamax's patent-pending Automatic Voltage Monitoring(AVM) circuitry for over and under voltageprotection. This circuitry continuouslymonitors the power and protects againstdamage caused by brownouts (under-voltages) and sustained over-voltages. Itautomatically disconnects the power toyour connected equipment when either ofthese conditions are detected, then re-connects it when the power returns to asafe level.The M8-HT-PRO's coaxial protection cir-cuits achieve optimum signal quality fromour new coaxial protectors that have thesmallest signal loss on the market - lessthan 0.5dB of attenuation from 5MHz to 2GHz. Our upgraded coaxial protection hasbeen specifically designed to virtually elim-inate signal loss. The clamping level of 75Vwill meet the demands of both cable andsatellite voltage while minimizing exposureto damaging spikes and surges.This model has 4 diagnostic LEDs for max-imum safety. They are designated as fol-lows:1. POWER ON, PROTECTION OK –(green) normally ON; indicates that thesurge protector is functioning properly andthat all connected equipment is protected.2. GROUND OK –(green) normally ON;indicates that the wall outlet is properlywired and grounded.3. Verify that the green “Ground OK” LEDis lit, indicating that the wall outlet is prop-erly wired and grounded.4. Plug the equipment to be protected intothe Panamax unit and one at a time, turneach piece of connected equipment ON andcheck for correct operation.a. Audio/Video equipment like receivers,DVD players, TVs, etc. should be pluggedinto the outlets numbered 1-4. This bankof outlets provides power from a“Balanced Double L” filtration circuit sothat EMI/RFI noise is prevented fromreaching your source/display equipment.b. High-current equipment like amplifiersand powered subwoofers should beplugged into the outlets numbered 5-8.This bank’s capacitive (inductor-less) filtercircuit cleans the power without limitingcurrent flow to your amplifiers.LED IndicatorsDC Trigger LEDUnsafe Voltage LEDGround OK LEDPower ON/Protection OK LEDPhone JacksCoax ConnectorsIncludes Phone Cable (4 ft.)and Cat 5 Cable (4 ft.)ON/OFF Power Switch andCircuit Breaker Combo8 ft.

Turn OFF the unit and all connectedequipment before connecting any signal-lines or installing any add-on signal linemodules.UNSDC TRIGGERPOWERVOLTAGE TRIGGERINSTALLATION (Telephone or LANLines):IMPORTANT: Note the position of theLINE and EQUIP jacks on the Panamaxunit. LINE is for the line connection thatcomes from the wall or floor jack. EQUIPis for the line connection to your connect-ed equipment. The protection circuit willonly function if connected properly.Reversed connections will pass the signalto the connected equipment but will alsoprevent the protection circuitry fromworking and will invalidate the PanamaxConnected Equipment Protection Policy.1. Make sure the Panamax protector andall connected equipment is turned OFF.2. Take the incoming telephone or LANline and plug it into the appropriate LINEjack on the protector. The line should nowbe connected between the wall and thePanamax unit.3. Plug a telephone or LAN line into theEQUIP jack and then plug the other endinto the equipment to be protected.4. Turn ON the protector and the connect-ed equipment. Verify that each piece ofconnected equipment is receiving powerand signal.The M8-HT-PRO provides telephone andLAN protection on one set of RJ-45 (RJ-11compatible) jacks. The telephone circuituses pins 4 & 5 while the LAN circuit usespins 1, 2, 3 & 6. Adaptors or customcables (not included) must be used whenutilizing both protection circuits at thesame time.small rectangular bracket with a groundinginterface. This bracket replaces the smalltriangular wall-mount bracket that comeswith the AC base unit and is needed onlywhen add-on modules are being installed.More information can be obtained on thePanamax website or by calling ourCustomer Support Department.ADDING SIGNAL-LINE MODULES(Optional):Some connected equipment may havemore signal-lines than can be protected bythe base unit alone. Panamax offers a lineof add-on signal-line modules (sold sepa-rately) for these situations. Each moduleincludes installation instructions and aWALL MOUNTING (optional):The small triangular bracket with one"key-hole" is for the top end of the unit.This bracket mounts directly to the backof the unit with the #8-32 x 5/16”machine screws, then to the wall with oneof the #6-20 x 3/4” pan-head screws andspacer eyelets (drywall anchors optional).The large rectangular bracket with two"key-holes" is for the bottom, line-cordend of the unit. It mounts directly to theunit with the thread-forming screws, thento the wall with the other two #6 pan-headscrews and spacer eyelets (drywallanchors optional).Mounting procedure:1. Mount both brackets to the unit withthe appropriate screws.2. Determine the mounting location onthe wall and mark the position for the topmounting screw.3. Place a spacer eyelet on one of the #6pan-head screws with the flared end of theeyelet toward the wall. Drive the screw intothe wall (use the included drywall anchorsfor hollow walls) at the marked location,leaving the eyelet exposed.4. Position the key-hole on the unit's topmounting bracket over the eyelet/screwand slide the unit down to lock the screw-head into the bracket.5. Mark the location for the two lowermounting screws (in the narrow portion ofthe key-holes) and drive the screws intothe wall using the other 2 spacer eyeletslike in step #3. The included drywallanchors should be used for mounting onhollow walls.6. Position the protector over the 3 eye-lets/screws and slide the unit down to lockit into place.7. Using the above procedure allows easyremoval of the unit by sliding the unit up todisengage the brackets from theeyelets/screws.INSTALLATION (Coaxial Lines):TROUBLESHOOTING–If you are having problems with your surgeprotector, read this section.The “Power On/Protection OK” LEDis not lit, there is no AC power to myequipment, or my equipment does-n’t turn on.• Make sure that the protector is pluggedinto a working AC outlet.• Check all AC power connections.• Make sure that the protector and con-nected equipment are turned on.• If using the DC Trigger input, verify thatthe source equipment is providing theproper DC voltage signal.• Verify that the “Unsafe Voltage” LED isnot lit. If it is on, the incoming line voltageis either too high or too low and has beendisconnected from your connected equip-ment.• Check to see if the circuit breaker on thesurge protector (combination powerswitch/circuit breaker) needs to be reset(press “ON” to reset).• If you still have no power, the protectormay be damaged. Contact Panamax (web-site or Customer Support Department) forreplacement.There is no audio or video for my TV,stereo or VCR.• Check the coaxial connections, makingsure they are correctly and securelyinstalled.• Bypass the coaxial connectors. If yourpicture returns, the protector is damaged.Contact Panamax (website or CustomerSupport Department) for replacement.• If you still have no picture, a problemwith your cable provider’s signal may exist.My fax machine, modem or tele-phone has AC power but still doesnot work.• Check to see if your connected equip-ment is receiving a dial tone.• If not, bypass the surge protector’s phonejacks to see if the protector is damaged.• If your dial tone returns, the protector isdamaged. Contact Panamax (website orCustomer Support Department) forreplacement.• If you still have no dial tone, a problemwith the phone company’s lines may exist.The Panamax circuit breaker dis-connects AC power from the con-nected equipment.• You have exceeded the ampere rating foryour surge protector. As a temporary fix,disconnect one or more pieces of equip-ment. Ask your Panamax dealer aboutadditional Panamax protectors that may berequired.1. Make sure the Panamax protector andall connected equipment is turned OFF.2. Connect the coaxial cable from theCATV system, antenna or Satellite dish tothe appropriate LINE connector on thePanamax protector.3. Connect a coaxial cable from theEQUIP jack on the protector to appropriateinput jack on your TV, VCR, Satellitereceiver or cable modem.4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for all additionalcoaxial lines.Coaxial connectors are bi-directional. Youmay install your equipment into eitherjack. When used with diplexers, this pro-tection circuit must be placed between thediplexer and the Satellite receiver; it willnot protect the diplexer.LINE (in)EQUIP (out)SAT/CATV (in)EQUIP (out)SAT/CATV (in)EQUIP (out)SAT/CATV (in)EQUIP (out)800-472-5555www.panamax.comINS00825 REV.
