Panamax MAX Image Pro LT 20 Amp - MIP-20LT
Product Overview
The Panamax MIP-20LT 20 amp power management unit is a compact desktop power conditioner designed for commercial AV and digital office environments where a 20-amp circuit is required. It delivers AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring), Protect or Disconnect surge protection, three-stage EMI/RFI filtration with Firewall for Noise circuitry, wiring fault detection, and signal line protection for LAN and telephone — all in a low-profile form factor with a security lock for permanent installations. The MIP-20LT is purpose-built for integrators deploying display systems, projectors, and commercial AV equipment on 20A branch circuits.
Product Description
The Panamax MIP-20LT (MAX Image Pro LT 20 Amp) is a power management and power conditioning unit engineered for commercial AV installations on 20-amp circuits. Unlike rack-format power conditioners, the MIP-20LT is a low-profile desktop unit with two always-on AC outlets, designed to sit behind or alongside display equipment, projectors, or digital signage in locations where rack installation is not practical. Its 20A receptacle configuration makes it the appropriate choice when the wall circuit is a 20A NEMA 5-20 circuit, commonly found in commercial construction.
Filtration is delivered through a three-stage, GFCI-compatible filter circuit providing high levels of normal and common-mode EMI/RFI noise reduction. The Firewall for Noise circuitry adds enhanced neutral-to-ground noise filtration — preventing EMI/RFI contamination of connected equipment through the ground conductor, a noise path that standard filtering does not address. AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring) monitors incoming line voltage and automatically disconnects power to connected equipment if voltage falls below 86VAC or rises above 138VAC, then reconnects when voltage returns to a safe level. Protect or Disconnect handles extreme surge events by completely disconnecting AC power until the event clears.
Wiring Fault Safety Shutoff detects miswired receptacles or open-ground conditions by monitoring the voltage between neutral and ground — if an unsafe condition is detected, the MIP-20LT disconnects power to protect connected equipment. Signal line protection covers 1 LAN connection (RJ-45, 10/100/1000BASE-T) and 1 telephone line (RJ-11). Front-panel status indicators display power/filtration status, unsafe power conditions, line faults, and ground integrity. A security lock prevents theft in public or semi-public installations. Two rubber strips provide a non-slip grip. An 8-foot captive power cord and 2 telco cables are included.

FAQs
Q: What is the difference between the MIP-20LT and the MIP-15LT?
The MIP-20LT is configured for 20-amp circuits and uses 20A receptacles. The MIP-15LT is configured for standard 15-amp circuits. The protective features, form factor, and filtration specifications are otherwise identical. Use the MIP-20LT when the wall circuit is a 20A NEMA 5-20 circuit, which is common in commercial construction.
Q: What is the Firewall for Noise circuitry?
Firewall for Noise provides enhanced neutral-to-ground noise filtration. EMI/RFI noise can travel on the equipment safety ground conductor and contaminate digital equipment through that path — a route that standard AC-line filtering does not address. The Firewall for Noise circuit specifically targets this ground-borne noise path to prevent contamination of connected digital equipment.
Q: What does AVM do on the MIP-20LT?
AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring) monitors incoming voltage continuously. If voltage falls below 86VAC or rises above 138VAC, the MIP-20LT automatically disconnects power to connected equipment and displays an unsafe power indicator. It reconnects automatically when voltage returns to a safe level.
Q: What is Wiring Fault Safety Shutoff?
This feature monitors the voltage between neutral and ground to detect miswired wall receptacles or open-ground conditions. If an unsafe wiring condition is detected, the MIP-20LT disconnects power to connected equipment to prevent potential damage. A Line Fault indicator light alerts the user to the condition.
Q: Does the MIP-20LT include signal line protection?
Yes. The MIP-20LT includes protection for 1 LAN connection (RJ-45, all pins, 10/100/1000BASE-T) and 1 telephone line (RJ-11, pins 4 and 5 protected, fuseless auto-resetting).
Q: Is the MIP-20LT rack-mountable?
The MIP-20LT is designed as a desktop/surface-mount unit, not a standard rack-mount product. It is intended for placement behind or alongside display equipment and AV installations where rack mounting is not available. It includes a security lock for permanent installations.
Q: What warranty does the MIP-20LT include?
The MIP-20LT is backed by Panamax's standard product warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty details applicable to your purchase.
