IMPORTANT SAFETY POINTS
Panamax surge protectors and the connected equipment must be indoors, in a dry location and in the same
building. Although your Panamax protector is very durable, its internal components are not isolated from the
environment. Do not install any Panamax product near heat emitting appliances such as a radiator or heat register.
Do not install this product where excessive moisture is present; for example near a bath tub, sink, pool basement
floor, fish tank, etc. It is not uncommon for a building to be improperly grounded. In order to protect your equipment,
Panamax products must be plugged into a properly wired and grounded 3-wire outlet. Additionally, building wiring
and grounding must conform to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the Panamax protection policy to
be valid. Do not use 2-blade adapters or any other "power strips" with this product. Use only Panamax extension
cord, or a UL / CSA recognized power cord.
MR5100 Features and Specifications
Key Features
Exclusive Automatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM)
Panamax's patent pending power monitoring
circuitry constantly monitors the AC line voltage
for unsafe voltage conditions such as momentary
spikes, prolonged over-voltages and undervoltag-
es (brownouts). These unsafe conditions pose a
very dangerous threat to all electronic equipment
within the home. If the MR5100 senses an unsafe
power condition, it will automatically disconnect
power from your equipment to protect equip-
ment from damage. The front panel indicator will
also alert users to the power condition. Once the
voltage returns to a safe level, the MR5100 will
automatically reconnect the power to the outlets.
Protect or Disconnect™ Technologies
In the event of a catastrophic surge such as light-
ning, it completely disconnects AC power to con-
nected equipment.
Front Panel Outlet
MR5100 features a protected and noise filtered
convenience outlet located on the front panel.
Perfect for temporary gaming systems, por-
table electronics (such as music players or smart
phones), or other personal electronics.
Note to CATV Installers:
This reminder is provided to call attention 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 entry as practical.

Antenna, Cable, Sat and LAN Signal protection
Coaxial protection circuits prevent damaging
surges from entering through signal paths and
have the smallest signal loss on the market - less
than 0.5 db of attenuation from 0Hz to 2.2GHz.
Our coaxial protection has been specifically
designed to virtually eliminate signal loss. The
clamping level of 75V will meet and exceed the
demands of both cable and satellite voltages
while minimizing exposure to damaging spikes
and surges. LAN protection allows for 10/100
base-T Ethernet equipment to integrate into an
audio/video system without the risk of upstream
surge damage from a gateway, switch, router or
other network device.

TO GET STARTED
1. Turn OFF the power to all equipment that will be plugged into the MR5100.
2. Plug the MR5100 into the wall outlet then turn it ON.
3. Verify that the LINE FAULT INDICATOR LED is NOT lit, indicating that the wall outlet is properly wired and
grounded. (If it is LIT call a licensed electrician to inspect and implement proper and safe wiring).
4. Plug the equipment to be proteced into the MR5100 AC outlets and leave everything off until after the
LAN, TELEPHONE and COAX Lines are connected and then proceed to turn on your connected equipment.
