The $5,000,000 Connected Equipment Protection Policy is invalid if  
anywire 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 Service  
department with questions.  
Overview  
The M2-AV provides surge and over-voltage protection for satelllite  
receivers, cable televisions, cable modems, and all AC-only electronic  
devices.  
The M2-AV is equipped with 2 AC outlets. It also features Panamax’s  
exclusive Protector Disconnect™ circuitry which handles an unlimited  
number of surges and will disconnect the power during a catastrophic  
surge to keep your equipment safe.  
Important Safety Point  
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.  
Bidirectional universal CATV / Sat / ANT coax connectors  
In addition, the M2-AV has 3 diagnostic lights for maximum safety.  
They are designated as follows:  
Quick Start  
Do not install this product where excessive moisture is present; for  
example, near a bathtub, sink, pool, basement floor, fishtank, etc.  
1. Plug the surge protector into the wall outlet. A green "Ground OK" light indicates  
proper wiring. A red "Line Fault" light indicates an improperly wired outlet that must  
be checked by a qualified electrician.  
1. GroundOK – (green) normally ON - indicates that the wall outlet is  
properly grounded.  
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.  
2. LineFault – (red) normally OFF - when lit, indicates that the wall outlet  
is improperly wired.  
2. If the green "Ground OK" light is on, plug your equipment into the AC outlets on the  
surge protector.  
3. Power ON / Protection OK - (green )normally ON - indicates that the  
power is on, surge protector is functioning properly, and all connected  
equipment is protected.  
Additionally, building wiring and grounding must conform to applicable  
NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the Panamax warranty to be  
valid.  
3. Turn the connected equipment ON and check for power and correct operation.  
4. For satellite, CATV or cable modem connections: The protection circuitry is  
bi-directional; line and equipment cables may be attached to either connector.  
Full protection and proper operation occurs when two green lights are lit.  
Do not use 2-prong adapters with this product. If an extension cord is  
required, use only a Panamax extension cord. If at any time your surge  
protector indicates a Line Fault, call your electrician to correct the  
building wiring.  
5. Equipment cords may be secured to the bottom of the surge protector using  
standard zip-ties.  
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.  
FOR PROPER PRODUCT INSTALLATION, STABILITY BUMPER SHOULD NOT BE IN  
CONTACT WITH THE RECEPTACLE COVER PLATE.  
Note to CATV/SAT Installers  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer's attention  
to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides specific guidelines for  
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground  
shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to  
the point of cable entry as practical. A separate driven ground rod is  
not acceptable under the code.
