Panamax Pro Series 1 RU 15 Amp 8 Outlets, 3 BlueBOLT Programmable Banks - M4000-PRO

Product Overview

The Panamax M4000-PRO rack power conditioner is a 1RU, 15-amp power conditioner with 8 outlets organized into three BlueBOLT-programmable outlet banks for group-level remote power management in commercial AV installations. Designed as an entry point into Panamax's BlueBOLT ecosystem, the M4000-PRO provides AVM Automatic Voltage Monitoring, Protect or Disconnect surge protection, and LiFT Linear Filtering Technology in a standard rack-mount form factor suited to conference rooms, meeting spaces, and small-format commercial AV rack power management deployments. Currently available at a reduced price, it is a practical choice for projects where per-outlet individual switching is not required but BlueBOLT remote power management AV at the bank level is still needed.

Product Description

The M4000-PRO provides 7 protected rear-panel outlets and 1 unprotected front-panel outlet (8 total), grouped into three BlueBOLT-controllable outlet banks. Bank 1 contains two outlets, Bank 2 contains two outlets, and Bank 3 contains three outlets. All bank control is executed via BlueBOLT cloud management at mybluebolt.com, Telnet, front-panel buttons, or a 12V DC trigger input for control system integration. Unlike the M4315-PRO which switches outlets individually, the M4000-PRO switches groups of outlets together per bank — an appropriate architecture for installations where AV equipment is logically grouped (displays and sources in one bank, amplifiers in another, network gear in a third) and group-level power control meets the system's operational requirements.

BlueBOLT connectivity enables integrators to manage the M4000-PRO remotely from any web-enabled device. Outlet banks can be turned on or off, scheduled for automated power cycling at specified times, and programmed to automatically reboot network equipment when a ping to a connected device fails. This automated reboot capability is the most operationally significant BlueBOLT feature for commercial AV: rather than dispatching a technician to power-cycle a frozen network switch or media player, the BlueBOLT system detects the failure and resets power to that bank automatically, reducing service calls and minimizing system downtime for end users.

AC protection uses AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring) with L-N, L-G, and N-G protection modes and thermal fusing. If line voltage falls below 95V or exceeds 134V, the Protect or Disconnect circuit removes power from the connected equipment and reconnects automatically when the line stabilizes. Surge protection is rated at 330V L-N (UL 1449 VPR) with 1,575 Joules energy dissipation. LiFT Linear Level 3 Filtration provides EMI/RFI noise reduction on all protected outlets. Signal-side protection covers 1 LAN port, 1 telephone line, and 1 coaxial cable/satellite connection. The M4000-PRO ships with an 8-foot detachable power cord (NEMA 5-15P).
