Power Button
Press and hold for 2 sec-
onds to turn Outlet Banks
3, 4 and 5 ON or OFF. This
switch is bypassed if the
rear panel DC Trigger
input is being used.
Power LEDs
Indicates the status of the rear panel
outlets. LEDs for each outlet bank
will be lit when the outlets are turned
ON. They will flash during the start-
up and shutdown process.
Circuit Breaker
Automatically opens
when the current load
is greater than 15
Amps. Push to reset.
Ground Lug
Provides a common
grounding point for
equipment with sep-
arate ground leads.
Main Power
Must be plugged
into a properly
wired & ground-
ed 3-wire outlet
Wiring OK LED
Normally On. Indicates
that the wall outlet is
properly grounded and
Line/Neutral polarity is
correct.
Meter Dimmer
Pushbutton control for
meter LED brightness.
Cycles between Off,
Low, Medium and High.
Unsafe Voltage Indicator
Normally Off. Flashes to indicate that the incom-
ing line voltage is unsafe and the unit has discon-
nected the power to protect your equipment.
Ammeter
Shows the actual current
draw (0-15A) of all your con-
nected components, giving a
visual reference as to how
your system is functioning
under a variety of conditions.
Convenience
Outlet
Provides a quick con-
venient way to plug in
components such as
camcorders and video
game systems.
Outlet Banks 1 & 2
Two always on outlets per bank.
Power will only be turned off under
a fault condition. (See specifica-
tions for over-voltage and under-
voltage thresholds) Power for each
bank is cleaned by a four-stage bal-
anced Pi filter. Banks 1 and 2 are
noise isolated from each other as
well as all other outlet banks.
Outlet Banks 3 & 4
Two switched outlets per bank. ON/OFF
status is controlled by the front panel
Power Button or the DC Trigger input. They
will turn on immediately and turn off after
10 seconds. EMI/RFI noise filtration is pro-
vided by the Isolation Transformer in con-
junction with a three-stage balanced Pi fil-
ter. Banks 3 and 4 are noise isolated from
each other as well as all other outlet banks.
Outlet Bank 5
Two switched, high current
outlets controlled by the
front panel Power Button or
the DC Trigger input. Bank 5
has a 5 second turn on delay
and turns off immediately.
The High Current outlets pro-
vide power from a low
impedance noise filtration
circuit that does not limit the
current to your equipment.
Its output is noise isolated
from all of the other outlet
banks.
Voltage Sense
Trigger Input
3.5mm (1/8”) Mini-Plug jack.
Connect to a remote trigger
device that uses a DC output to
trigger a startup/shutdown
sequence. This bypasses the
front panel power switch.
Important, Please Note: The
unit needs to be plugged in,
and in the powered OFF state
before inserting the DC input
trigger mini-plug.
Voltage Sense
Trigger Output
3.5mm (1/8”) Mini-Plug
jack. Connecting a trig-
ger wire to the Voltage
Sense Output jack will
allow the input signal to
pass through the MAX®
5400-EX to control the
startup/shutdown of an
additional device.
High Current Outlets
Delay Switch For
Outlet Bank 5
Allows the outlet bank to
be set as “Always ON” or
with a 5 second turn-on
delay
Switched Outlets Delay Switch
For Outlet Banks 3 & 4
Allows the outlet banks to be set as
“Always ON” or with a 5 second turn-
off delay
LAN Jacks
Protection circuits
for 10/100 baseT
Ethernet lines.
Incoming LAN line
MUST be plugged
into the LINE jack.
Patch cord to the
equipment MUST
be plugged into
the EQUIP jacks.
Phone Jacks
Protection circuits for
standard telephone or pay-
per-view lines. Phone cir-
cuit is auto-resetting.
Incoming phone cord
MUST be plugged into the
LINE jack. Patch cords to
the equipment (satellite
receiver, digital video
recorder, telephone, etc.)
MUST be plugged into the
EQUIP jacks.
Satellite TV
Coax Jacks
Bidirectional protection cir-
cuit optimized for satellite
TV signal lines. Do not use
for cable TV off-air anten-
nas and cable modems.
Cable TV Coax Jacks
Bidirectional protection cir-
cuit optimized for cable TV,
off-air antennas and cable
modem signal lines. Do not
use for Satellite TV.
Voltmeter
Digital LED voltmeter indi-
cates incoming line voltages
between 90–140VAC.

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.
