development of AC power products for the most demanding audio,
video, and broadcast professionals. Panamaxs Series Multi-Stage
Protection Plus (SMP+), Linear Filtering Technology, and Digital-HD
Television Ready circuitry delivers the purest AC power and the most
comprehensive protection available going far beyond what is found
in both traditional and multi-stage-filter AC power strips.
Todays power grid typically experiences numerous electrical surges
and spikes on a daily basis. At best, these irregularities can degrade
your equipments performance; at worst, they can severely damage
individual components or your entire system. Not so with Panamax
With our exclusive virtually Maintenance-Free SMP+ circuitry and
automatic over-voltage shutdown, the M10-HT-PRO assures years
of trouble free service with no damaged components, no service
calls, and no down time.
Safety Information
To obtain best results from your Panamax M10-HT-PRO Power
Conditioner, please be sure to read this manual carefully before
using. 
Warning
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose this equipment
to rain or moisture. Dangerous high voltages are present inside the
enclosure. Do not remove the covers. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Important Safety Instructions
1. Please read and observe all safety and operating instructions
before installing your M10-HT-PRO. Retain these instructions for
future reference.
2. Your M10-HT-PRO should not be used near water for example,
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, etc.
3. Do not place your M10-HT-PRO near heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances that produce
heat.
4. The M10-HT-PRO should only be connected to a 120 VAC, 60Hz,
15 amp grounded electrical outlet. Do not defeat the ground or
change polarization of the power plug.
5. Route the power cord and other cables so that they are not likely
to be walked on, tripped over, or stressed. Pay particular attention
to the condition of the cords and cables at the plugs, and the point
where they exit your M10-HT-PRO . To prevent risk of fire or injury,
damaged cords and cables should be replaced immediately. 
6. Clean your M10-HT-PRO with a damp cloth only. Do not use
solvents or abrasive cleaners. Never pour liquid on or into the unit.
7. Your M10-HT-PRO should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
The power supply cord or the plug has been frayed, kinked, or cut.
Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the unit.
The unit has been exposed to rain or other moisture.
The unit does not appear to operate normally, exhibits a marked
change in performance, or the Protection OK indicator is not lit.
The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
8. Your M10-HT-PRO requires that a safety ground be present for proper
operation. Any attempt to operate the unit without a safety ground is
considered improper operation and could invalidate the warranty.
Operation
AC, Telephone, and Coaxial Connectors
Digital Video Outlets:
All (10) AC outlets feature Panamaxs exclusive Linear Filtering
Technology, and will noticeably improve audio and video performance
by dramatically lowering incoming AC noise.
However, many video and digital processing components can
actually induce noise into adjacent circuits since all of the systems 
components are joined at the power strips AC outlets. The M10-
HT-PRO employs additional ultra-sonic filtering for both digital and
video components. This additional filtering assures peak system
performance by preventing AC noise or back-wash from cross-
contaminating an adjacent unit. For example, a television plugged
into the digital video filtered outlets will not affect an audio receiver-
controller connected to one of the M10-HT-PROs standard or
delayed outlets.
Delayed AC Outlets Trigger Switch and 12VDC inlet:
The M10-HT-PRO features (3) delayed AC outlets. Todays Home
Theater and Home Recording Studio components rarely require
delayed soft-start from an external AC outlet because their circuits
feature soft-start turn-on. Delayed turn-on prevents annoying
loudspeaker pops as well as preventing circuit breaker nuisance
tripping. Since some amplifiers, powered loudspeakers and powered
sub-woofers do not have this feature internally, they will require the
M10-HT-PROs delayed turn-on circuit. Simply plug power amplifiers
and subwoofers into the delayed outlets. This will create about a two
second delay before these outlets are energized.
The mini switch should be in the trigger bypass position for normal
operation. If the mini switch is in the trigger input position, these
outlets will not energize.
If an external 12V sequencer or a receiver with a 12V sens circuit is
used, simply connect the sens circuits mini phone jack to the 12V
input, and change the mini switch setting to trigger input. The other 
(7) AC outlets will still be controlled by the M10-HT-PROSs main AC
switch, but the (3) delayed AC outlets will be energized and turned
off by your remote 12V sens circuit. 12 volts (+/- 2V) must be present
for the delayed outlets to energize from a remote sens trigger.
Telco Satellite Cable Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors:
The M10-HT-PRO features transient voltage surge suppression for
both standard telephone lines, as well as cable and satellite lines
utilizing standard coaxial connectors. As these surge suppressors
are in-line, they will require an additional cable to connect from their
output to the control device requiring protection.
All in-line surge suppressors feature our exclusive ground
contamination free technology. This aids in eliminating audio
buzzing, and the video hum-bars that can result from typical in-line
suppressors. Further, our cable and satellite suppressors are TIVO
friendly as well as HD-Digital Television ready. Both DC carrier
signals as well as high bandwidth signals can pass through our
circuit. In fact the bandwidth is less than 0.1dB loss at 1GHz!
To connect your cabling to these in-line protectors, simply follow the
in and out indications marked next to the Telco, Cable and Satellite
connectors.
Note:It is not possible to make an in-line cable or satellite protector
maintenance-free as we have accomplished with the 120 VAC line.
This would necessitate limited signal bandwidth that would not allow
the signal to pass. Under extreme conditions, it is possible that the 
surge suppression in one of these devices could sacrifice itself after
a catastrophic event. If the telephone, cable or satellite signal will
no longer pass through our protector, please send your M10-HT-
PRO to Panamax for servicing. To test this, simply disconnect the
incoming and out going cable from the M10-HT-PRO. Connect the
incoming connector to the component that formerly received the out
going connector, thus by-passing the in-line protection. If the signal
is present (but not when used with the M10-HT-PROs) then the
protection circuit is damaged (assuming it worked properly before
the storm or catastrophic event).

Circuit Breaker
If the M10-HT-PRO is connected to an AC outlet where sufficient
voltage is present, the unit should operate properly with the
protection OK indicator lit, after the main power switch is turned
to the on position. If the unit still does not function under these
conditions, check the circuit breaker button. It is the round black
button adjacent to the incoming AC cord. If the circuit breaker trips
immediately, there may be too great of a current load placed upon it.
Simply disconnect one product at a time until this no longer happens.
If the breaker trips with no components connected, there may be a
wiring defect that requires Panamax service.
Indicators
Extreme Voltage Shutdown Indicator
Panamaxs SMP+ circuit senses sustained voltages that are high
enough to cause damage to your components, and shuts the
power down before damage can occur. Such conditions can include 
accidental connection to a 240VAC source (where 120VAC is
expected), or an open neutral.
The Extreme Voltage Shutdown LED is normally off. If an input
voltage in excess of 137VAC is sensed, either on initial power-up or
during normal operation, the M10-HT-PRO will shut off power and
this indicator will light.
NOTE: If the mains power is above the high cutoff voltage and has
caused the unit to remove power from its outlets, it cannot restore
power without the operator manually turning the unit off, then on
again. Avoid turning the unit back on without first checking the source
of the problem and perhaps changing the AC source.
Protection OK Indicator
Although the Panamax SMP+ circuit assures virtually maintenance-
free protection from transient voltage spikes and surges, nature
has a way of occasionally creating electrical forces that are beyond
the capabiliti
