Features Descriptions
BlueBOLT
Remote Power Management technology provides secure, hosted IP
(Internet Protocol) system control. With BlueBOLT, custom electronics
installers, integrators and end-users can remotely monitor and control power to
home theater equipment by accessing power management components from
anywhere in the world. From simple system reboots to comprehensive monitoring
of power status, BlueBOLT
provides the power to control complex A/V systems
from their most fundamental level: their power source (M4320-PRO).
LiFT Technology EMI/RFI Noise Filtration
Your audio/video components are constantly being bombarded by electromagnetic
interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) through their AC power
source. This contaminated power can affect audio/video equipment and will
degrade the overall performance of your entire system. Common symptoms of
contaminated power include loss of picture detail, dull colors, pops, hisses, hums
and visual artifacts.
Automatic Over & Under Voltage Protection (AVM)
Nice’s patented power monitoring circuitry constantly monitors the AC line
voltage for unsafe voltage conditions such as momentary spikes or prolonged
over-voltages and under-voltages (brownouts). These unsafe conditions pose a
very dangerous threat to all electronic equipment within the home. If the M4320-
PRO senses an unsafe power condition, it will automatically disconnect your
equipment from the power to protect equipment from damage. Once the voltage
returns to a safe level, the M4320-PRO will automatically reconnect the power.
• When subjected to a 6,000V (open circuit voltage) / 3,000A (short circuit
current) surge, the M4320-PRO limits its voltage output to less than 330V
peak, UL’s lowest rating.
• If the magnitude of the surge is greater than the capacity of the surge
protection components, the M4320-PRO’s Protect or Disconnect Circuitry
will disconnect your equipment in order to protect it. The M4320-PRO will
need to be repaired or replaced by Nice if this occurs within the product’s
3 year warranty.
4 Isolated Outlet Banks
The M4320-PRO is designed to provide noise isolation between the outlet banks
so that any noise created by A/V components plugged into the M4320-PRO
cannot contaminate the power going to equipment plugged into the other outlet
banks of the M4320-PRO.
Sequential Startup/Shutdown
Complex audio/video systems may be susceptible to voltage transients generated
internally 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 and/or trip product circuit breakers. The
M4320-PRO is designed to eliminate these transients by providing a “start-up”
delay for the High-Current outlets and a “shut-down” delay for the Switched
Outlet Banks. This minimizes inrush current issues by allowing the components
plugged into the Switched Outlet Banks to power-up and stabilize before any
ampliers and powered subwoofers are turned on. This sequence is reversed
during shut-down. The ampliers and powered subwoofers turn off, their power
supplies drain, and then the equipment plugged into the Switched Outlet Banks
are turned off. Additionally, the start-up and shut-down delays can be adjusted
for custom applications.
Voltage Sense Trigger:
The M4320-PRO voltage sense trigger input uses a standard 3.5mm (1/8”)
mini-mono plug. This feature provides an ON/OFF trigger for the M4320-PRO
using a Direct Current (DC) voltage signal. Many components such as pre-
ampliers and receivers have a DC trigger built in, and will transmit a constant
power signal when turned on and in use. The presence of this power signal will
turn on the M4320-PRO’s switched outlets. When the source component is
turned off, the voltage trigger signal is also turned off, and the M4320-PRO’s
shutdown sequence is initiated. An AC Adapter of the appropriate voltage (5-
14V) plugged into a switched outlet may also be used if a DC trigger is not
built in.
Cable/Satellite/Antenna TV signal protection
Coaxial protection circuits achieve optimum signal quality from our new coaxial
protectors that have the smallest signal loss on the market - less than 0.5
db of attenuation from 0 Hz to 2.2 GHz. Our upgraded coaxial protection has
been specically designed to virtually eliminate signal loss. The clamping level of
75V will meet the demands of both cable and satellite voltage while minimizing
exposure to damaging spikes and surges.
Telephone Line Protection
Digital video recorders and satellite TV receivers require a telephone line
connection for TV show scheduling and/or Pay-Per-View services. The M4320-
PRO also provides surge protection for this line. One pair of RJ-11 telephone
jacks is provided for this. The circuitry utilizes auto-resetting PTCRs and solid
state SIDACtors® for reliability and unsurpassed protection. The clamping level
of the M4320-PRO’s telephone protector is 260 volts. This will allow typical ring
voltage (90-130VAC) and operating battery voltage (-48DC) to pass through
the circuit and still protect the modem in your satellite receiver from damage.
Incoming tel line must be plugged into the IN Jack. Patch cord to the equipment
must be plugged into OUT.
LAN Protection
Protection circuits for 10/100/1000 baseT Ethernet lines, 8 wire protection and
62V clamping.

PULL OUT CARD:
Quick reference for default prole and
device type list. Located under the
reboot buttons.
REBOOT 1 & 2:
Press either button for 2 seconds
to initiate a “reboot” sequence of
outlet 1 or 2 (default). Press both
simultaneously for 2 seconds to
initiate a full power-up or shut down
sequence. The front panel outlet is
always on, unless the circuit breaker is
set to OFF.
VOLTS/AMPS/BRIGHTNESS:
Rotate knob for front panel brightness
control, and press to toggle the meter
between VOLTS and AMPS mode.
UNSAFE VOLTAGE:
If the line voltage is less than 100 Vac
or greater than 134 Vac, the outlets
will shut off and this light will ash red.
The meter will show the current prole:
P1-P4 (presets), or PP (personal
prole).
A “personal prole” is a conguration
that has been changed from the
presets by an external control (through
the COMMUNICATIONS CARD)
To change the preset prole, press
REBOOT 1 repeatedly until the
desired prole is displayed. To select
the displayed prole and exit, press
REBOOT 2.
To exit without changing the prole,
press REBOOT 1 until “PE” (prole
exit) is displayed, then press REBOOT
2. Turn breaker to ON when nished.
See the following page for detailed
preset prole information.
Users of the TCP/IP (BlueBOLT-
CV3) card may access an additional
“IP” menu by pressing REBOOT 1,
cycling past PP and P1-P4 until IP is
displayed.
Then pressing REBOOT 2 will display
the unit’s IP address, one octet at a
time.
For example, if the IP address is
192.168.1.50, then the meter will
display 192, followed in 2 seconds by
168, then 1, then 50, and terminated
by ---.
The menu will then automatically
exit and the unit will return to normal
operation.
BREAKER:
Flashes red if the circuit breaker is OFF.
WIRING FAULT:
Illuminates red if the house wiring is
reverse-wired or the ground is not
connected.
TEMPERATURE:
Flashes red if the internal microprocessor
temperature is greater than 60 ºC.
PROFILES:
These are congurations that dictate
outlet sequencing timings and trigger
assignments.
To change the prole, set the circuit
breaker to OFF (the BREAKER light will
ash red) and press REBOOT 1 & 2
simultaneously for 8 seconds.
PLEASE NOTE: The lights’ status is obvious, when the outlet is just plain “ON” or just plain “OFF”. However, there are transition states that cause the lights to
blink. The lights will blink when performing a triggered cycle, but when a server initiated cycle command occurs, it just goes “OFF”, delays, then “ON”.
