FEATURE OVERVIEW

1. Power Switch

Pushbutton; activates a
turn-on or turn-off
sequence for all outlets
when depressed for two
seconds.

2. Bank Status Indicators:

When on, indicates that the 
corresponding bank is on.

When off, indicates the corre-
sponding bank is off.

When flashing, indicates the
bank is in transition, either
turning on or turning off.

3. Ground Isolation: 

Controls the ground connec-
tion 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.

2. Filtered Regulated
Outlets  (BANKS 1 & 2):

Four, Balanced Double L fil-
tered outlets for low current
analog audio components
such as pre-amplifiers,
receivers, VCR's and tape
decks.  

13. Outlet Delay Switches: 

Two-position slide switches. Allows
for the user to configure each bank
for delayed turn-on/turn-off or
always-on operation.

6. Satellite Coax Jacks:

Two pairs of F-Connectors 
optimized for Satellite TV 
signal line protection.
Bi-directional  

14. LAN:

In/Out 
connections
for Ethernet.

15. Telephone Jacks:

1 In & 2 Out connections
for telephone line or 
pay-per-view line 
protection.

7. CATV Coax Jacks:

One pair of F-Connectors
optimized for Cable TV,
Antenna or Cable Modem
signal line protection.
Bi-directional 

17. Communications
Interface: 

RS232

interface for custom con-
figuration and/or home
automation control.
Contact Panamax for
availability of alternate
TCP/IP interface.

11. DC Trigger Input:

3.5mm (1/8”) Mini-Plug jack.
Connect to a remote trigger
device that uses a DC voltage
signal to initiate a startup/shut-
down sequence. 

12. DC Trigger Output:

3.5mm

(1/8”) Mini-Plug jack.  The M7500-Pro
generates its own 12VDC trigger to
control another device. 

6. Combination Meter:

Displays the regulated output voltage,
90-140 VAC in one mode. Displays
the Input Current draw, 1-15 Amps,
in the alternate mode.

5. Voltmeter: 

Backlit analog meter displays the incoming voltage between
90-140 VAC.

Integrated “Unsafe Voltage” indicator will flash after sensing
an unsafe voltage and disconnecting all outlets.

Integrated “Out of Regulation” indicator will flash whenever
the regulated output voltage is out of spec.

7. Ambient
Light Sensor

8: Convenience Outlet:

Provides a quick convenient way to
plug in components such as cam-
corders and video game systems.

9. IEC Main Power
Receptacle:

Detachable power cord
connects to this recep-
tacle. 

1. 15A Main Circuit
Breaker:

Opens in the

event that equipment
plugged into the MAX
7500 draws too much
current.  When white is
visible, the breaker has
opened.  Reduce the 
load and push to reset.

10. Ground Lug:

Provides

a common grounding point
for equipment with separate
ground leads

4. High Current Outlet
Bank (BANK 5): 

Two

delayed outlets designed
for high current compo-
nents such as amplifiers
and powered subwoofers.
The current available to
connected equipment is
not limited by the noise 
filtration components. 

3. Isolated (Switched)
Outlets (BANKS  3 & 4):

Four outlets provide complete
isolation for digital source
components such as DVD
players or display devices like
plasma TVs or DLP 
projectors.  These outlets are
completely isolated from the
rest of the system.

4. Brightness Control/Meter Select:

When in the full/locked left position, auto brightness is engaged, and the front panel display will dim with the ambient light level.
Rotating the knob to the right will increase the display brightness, and left will decrease the display brightness. 
Pressing this control will toggle the display of the second meter from “Volts Out” to “Amps In”.

5. Isolated Outlets
Circuit Breaker:

Opens in the event that
equipment connected to
the Isolation Transformer
Outlets exceeds 6 Amps
current draw.  When white
is visible, the breaker has
opened. Reduce the load
and push to reset.

16. Lamp
Receptacle: 

USB jack.

The convenience lamp
included with the M7500-
Pro is to illuminate the
rear panels of other com-
ponents during setup.

8. Settings Option:  

Two-

position slide switch. Switch
settings selects the use of the
five switches to configure the
outlets for delayed or always-
on operation. Custom settings
selects the stored configuration
in non-volatile memory for the
outlets trigger source and
delays. See Page 10-15 for
details.
