Front Panel Pushbutton
This button controls the “High-Current” and “Switched” outlets.
Sequential Startup/Shutdown Complex audio/video systems may be susceptible to voltage transients generated inter-
nally at start-up/shutdown if all of the equipment is powered on or off at the same time. This can cause speaker “thumps”
which are not only annoying but can also damage the speakers. The MAX
® 5410 is designed to eliminate these transients
by providing a “start-up” delay for the High-Current outlets and a “shutdown” delay for Outlet Banks 1 and 2. This allows
the components plugged into the switched outlets to power-up and stabilize before any amplifiers and powered sub-woofers
are turned on. This sequence is reversed during shutdown. The amplifiers and powered sub-woofers turn off, their power
supplies drain, then the equipment plugged into Outlet Banks 1 and 2 is turned off.
Information on setting the delay times is included in the Filtered Outlet Bank and High-Current Outlet Bank sections that
follow.
1. Press and hold switch > 2 seconds to turn the High-Current and Switched Outlets on or off.
2. When button is pressed quickly (<2 sec.) SWITCHED and HIGH CURRENT outlets turn off for 10 seconds then turn
back on in a sequence (per delay settings).The purpose is to cycle power to equipment that locks up.
Diagnostic Lights
The MAX
®
5410 is loaded with special features to save your connected equipment from many different forms of dangerous
power disturbances. Six diagnostic lights on the front panel inform you in the event of a power disturbance or when a spe-
cial feature is activated. The indicators are:
Power Led: Green LED indicates On/Off status. When flashing, indicates sequence in progress.
DC Voltage Trigger: Green LED. This light indicates status of the DC voltage trigger on the back panel of the MAX
®
5410. The light is ON when the DC voltage trigger is activated and OFF when the DC voltage trigger is not receiving a signal.
This light will also be ON if nothing is plugged into the DC voltage trigger input jack. This indicates that the DC voltage trigger
is being bypassed.
Switched Outlets: Green LED. This light indicates the status of the “Switched Outlets” pushbutton on the front panel
and corresponds with the switch position. When the button is in the “ON” position, the light is ON. When the button is in
the “OFF” position, the light is OFF. “Switched Outlets” refers to Outlet Bank 2 and the High-Current Outlets. See their
respective sections for switching options.
