Power Switch and LED Indicator: Momentary
Pushbutton (non-latching); activates a turn-on or
turn-off sequence for all the outlet banks.
Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to initiate a
turn-on or turn-off sequence.
Meters: The analog meters are backlit to provide
the ability to view readings in a dark room. LEDs
(light emitting diodes) are used in order to provide
durability and long life.
The Voltmeter samples the incoming voltage from
the wall outlet and provides a visual representation of
the available power. The Voltmeter is active between
the under-voltage and over-voltage shutoff thresholds
(90-140V).
The Combination Meter has two display modes
controlled by the integrated push button on the
brightness control potentiometer. In one mode, the
meter will display "Volts Out" and samples the volt-
age output from the regulation circuit (90-140V). In
the second mode, the meter displays "Amps". This
amperage reading is measuring the total current
drawn by the MAX 7500-Pro and its connected
equipment (0-15A).
The Brightness Control consists of a rotary poten-
tiometer with an integrated switch in the left-most
position. When the knob is turned to the full left
position and the switch is engaged, the unit enters
"auto brightness" mode. In this mode the brightness
of the display is automatically adjusted in response
to ambient light.
Bank Status Indicators: When on, indicate that
the corresponding bank is on. When off, indicate the
corresponding bank is off. When flashing, indicate the
bank is in transition, either turning on or turning off.
Unsafe Voltage: Red LED. Under normal voltage
conditions, this light stays off. When this light is
flashing, it indicates an under-voltage or over-voltage
condition. In an under or over voltage condition,
power will be disconnected from all outlets to protect
your connected equipment.
Out of Regulation: Yellow LED. This indicator will
flash whenever the voltage on the regulated outlets
gets out of range.
Ground Isolation: Control the ground connection
of banks 3 and 4. When active these banks have
Balanced Power with an isolated ground connection.
When not active these banks have Balance Power
with a common ground reference.

Convenience Outlet:
A single outlet on the front panel of the Max 7500-
Pro provides an easy-to-reach power source for elec-
tronic equipment typically used on a part time basis.
Such equipment includes anything from video game
systems to camcorders.
The convenience outlet provides clean, protected
power for your sensitive electronic equipment. This
outlet is Always-On and will continually supply a
steady source of power. It is important to remember
that power will be disconnected only in the event of
an unsafe voltage condition.
Sequential Startup/Shutdown:
Complex audio/video systems may be susceptible
to voltage transients generated internally at start-
up/shutdown if all of the equipment is powered on or
off at the same time. This can cause speaker
"thumps" which are not only annoying but can also
damage the speakers. The MAX 7500-Pro is
designed to enable custom startup/shutdown
Bank 5 High-Current Outlets:
The two individually-switched high-current outlets
allow amplifiers and powered subwoofers to work to
their full potential. When the movie thunders with a
INPUT
3-24VDC
terrific explosion or when the music reaches a climac-
tic crescendo, an amplifier has to rapidly draw large
amounts of current to replenish its capacitors.
Traditional line conditioners impede this current draw,
in effect, starving an amplifier and resulting in a flat,
dead sound. The High-Current Outlet Bank provides
clean, filtered power to amplifiers but has no current
limiting components to impede performance.
Bank 3 or 4 Isolated/Regulated Outlets:
2 individually switched banks are fed power through
the heart of the MAX 7500-Pro, the Isolation
Transformer. These outlets should be used for digital
INPUT
3-24VDC
components such as DVD players or display devices
like Plasma TVs or DLP projectors.
Pure, clean power is obtained by using the isolation
transformer to regenerate the AC current. The power
from a typical wall outlet is contaminated with elec-
tromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interfer-
ence (noise) picked up by the power lines between
the power utility's generating plant and the wall out-
let. This contaminated power feeds the isolation
transformer's primary windings and is regenerated
(through electromagnetic induction) as clean power
on the isolated secondary windings. The outlets are
connected to the secondary windings, which have no
physical connection to the primary windings. This is
True Isolation! Not only will it isolate your digital
source equipment from contaminated power, but also
prevent any noise generated in the digital compo-
nents from flowing back to other connected equip-
ment.
