1. 

Turn off the equipment you are plugging into the MD2-TL.

 

2

Plug the surge protector into the wall outlet.  A red

 "Line Fault" 

light indicates 

an improperly wired outlet that must be checked by a qualified electrician. 

3. 

If the blue

 "Power On Protection OK"

 light is on, plug your equipment into 

the AC outlets on the surge protector.

4. 

Connect incoming LAN or Telephone lines to the LAN /TEL IN connection.

The protection circuitry only works if connected properly.  The incoming line from 
the wall outlet must be plugged into the “LAN /TEL IN” jack.  The telephone 
equipment or modem must be plugged into the “LAN /TEL OUT” jack.

5. 

Turn the connected equipment ON and check for power and correct operation. 

Panamax surge protectors and the connected equipment must be indoors in a dry location and in the same building.  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 bathtub, sink, pool, basement floor, fish tank, etc.

It is not uncommon for a building to be improperly grounded.  In order to protect your equipment, and validate the warranty, Panamax 
products must be plugged into a properly grounded 3-wire outlet.  Additionally, building wiring and grounding must conform to 
applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the Panamax warranty to be valid.

Do not use 2-prong adapters with this product.  If an extension cord is required, use only Panamax #GEC1410.  If at any time your 
surge protector indicates a Line Fault, call your electrician to correct the building wiring.

POWER ON / 
PROTECTION OK- (blue) 
normally ON - indicates 
that the power is on, 
surge protector is 
functioning properly, 
and all connected 
equipment is protected.

LINE FAULT INDICATOR- 
(red)  - If lit red, indicates 
an improperly wired outlet.

AC outlets are turned 90 degrees from one 
another to accommodate different style  
plugs or transformers.

Properly Connecting Your Surge Protector

To completely protect your equipment from power surges, every wire leading into or out of the equipment you want to protect must be connected to the 
appropriate Panamax surge protector.  Damaging lightning and power surges can get into your system through any AC power or signal line (phone lines, 
grounding wires, coax cables, modem cables, etc.) connected to your electrical equipment.

The $100,000 Connected Equipment Protection Policy is invalid if any wire leading into or out of the equipment is not properly connected to the 
appropriate Panamax surge protector(s).  The surge protector must also be plugged into a properly wired and grounded outlet.  Please see the warranty 
for details or contact the Panamax Customer Relations department with questions.

Overview

Make sure you have the right surge protector to protect your electronic equipment.  Panamax makes protectors for almost every type of electronic 
equipment.  Surge protectors that may look identical from the outside can be very different on the inside.  It is very important to use the surge protector 
designed for your application. Two-outlet surge protectors are not designed for use with systems having more than two AC powered components. 
Panamax offers a wide range of surge protectors designed for use with larger systems. If you have any questions about which product is best for your 
applications, please see our web site www.panamax.com or contact Panamax Customer Relations at 800-472-5555  (7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.  PST).
