INSTRUCTIONS MAX 4310
®
Thank you for choosing Panamax . The
MAX® 4310 is designed to provide maxi-
mum protection for audio/video equipment
with external signal connections such as
cable TV, rooftop antenna and DBS satellite
systems.
Note to CATV Installer:
Phone Installation
There is no picture or sound on my TV .
Check the coaxial connections, making sure
that they are correctly and securely installed.
Ensure that the TV set is plugged into a pow-
ered AC outlet.
This reminder is provided to call the atten-
tion 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
cable entry as practical.
1. Connect a phone cable from the wall jack
to the LINE terminal on the telephone jack on
the MAX® 4310.
When running the DBS system test, the
DBS connection displays as failed.
Check the appropriate connections to ensure
2. Connect the provided phone line cable
from the EQUIP terminal on the MAX® 4310
to the input jack on your satellite receiver.
Please note that the protection circuitr y
will not work if these lines are reversed.
INSTALLING THE MAX® 4310
Satellite Coax Installation **
that they are correctly and securely installed.
NOTE: The MAX® 4310 and the connected
equipment must be indoors and in the same
building.
1. Connect the coax cable from the satellite
dish to a Satellite coax terminal on the
MAX® 4310.
If you continue to have trouble with your
MAX® 4310 or this section has not fixed the
problem, please call PANAMAX Customer
Relations Department at 800-472-5555.
Rack Mounting
An optional rack mount kit is available.
Order # GRM2205.
AC Installation
2. Connect the provided coax jumper cable
to the other Satellite coax terminal on the
MAX® 4310.
1. Plug the MAX® 4310 directly into a prop-
erly grounded 3-wire AC outlet*.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CONTACTING PANAMAX
There is no AC power to my equipment, or
my equipment doesn’t turn on.
Make sure that the MAX® 4310 is plugged
into a working AC outlet. Check all AC
connections.
2. Turn the MAX® 4310 on.
3. Connect the other end of the coax jumper
cable to the input jack on your satellite
receiver.
For product and warranty information,
dealer information, and other general
information contact Customer Relations

3. Plug in one of the pieces of equipment
you want to protect and turn the equipment on.
Cable TV or Rooftop Antenna Coax Installation **
If the equipment is working correctly, contin-
ue to plug in and turn on your equipment. In
the extremely unlikely event that everything
does not work perfectly, stop and read the
troubleshooting section. If you continue to
have problems, call PANAMAX Customer
Relations Department at 800-472-5555, USA
and Canada.
Make sure the MAX® 4310 and connected
equipment is turned on. If you are using the
12VDC trigger, make sure that the source is
actually supplying the voltage needed to
activate the MAX® 4310.

1. Connect the coax cable from the wall or
floor plate to a CATV/ANT coax terminal on
the MAX® 4310.

2. Connect the provided coax jumper cable
to the other CATV/ANT coax terminal on the
MAX® 4310.
Check to see if the circuit breaker on the
MAX® 4310 needs to be reset (press in).
*Many old buildings are inadequately wired.
It is very common for a building to be
improperly grounded. Building wiring and
grounding must conform to applicable NEC
(USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the PANA-
MAX connected equipment policy to be valid.
3. Connect the other end of the coax jumper
cable to the input jack on your television,
VCR, or satellite receiver.
The MAX® 4310 circuit breaker disconnects
AC power from the connected equipment.
You have exceeded the ampere rating for
your surge protector. As a temporary fix, dis-
connect one or more pieces of equipment.
Ask your dealer about additional
**There is no designated input or output jack for the
MAX® 4310 Satelliteand CATV/ANT coax terminals.
The coaxial protection circuitry is bi-directional in
both signal transmission and protection capabilities.
