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.

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.

 

Do not install this product where excessive moisture is present; for 

example, near a bathtub, sink, pool, basement floor, fishtank, etc. 

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.

 

Additionally, building wiring and grounding must conform to applicable 

NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the Panamax warranty to be 

valid.

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.

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.

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.

In addition, the M2-AV has 3 diagnostic lights for maximum safety. 

They are designated as follows:

1. GroundOK – (green) normally ON - indicates that the wall outlet is 

properly grounded.

 

2. LineFault – (red) normally OFF - when lit, indicates that the wall outlet 

is improperly wired.

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.

Full protection and proper operation occurs when two green lights are lit.

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.
