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.

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 MR4300 senses an unsafe 

power condition, it will automatically disconnect 

power from your equipment from the to protect 

equipment from damage. The front panel indica-

tor  will  also  alert  users  to  the  power  condition. 

Once  the  voltage  returns  to  a  safe  level,  the 

MR4300 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

MR4300  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.

Front Panel Decorative Lights

Blue decorative lights add an attractive look at feel 

to your equipment rack or TV cabinet.

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.

Eight Protected and Filtered Power Outlets 

(see 

specifications)

Eight Foot Power Cable with Low Profile Plug

This 45° angle low profile plug allows your 

equipment to be as close as it can get to the wall 

outlet while not blocking an adjacent outlets.  

The 8’ power cord means your installation loca-

tion isn’t restricted by wall outlet location.  Don’t 

let your electronics control your lifestyle.

TO GET STARTED
1.

 Turn OFF the power to all equipment that will be plugged into the MR4300.

2.

 Plug the MR4300 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 MR4300 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.

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.
