Was Watching Bluray On PS3 Panamx Started Beeping

Was Watching Bluray On PS3 Panamax Started Beeping every component turned on the panamax said OL what does that mean help

[Beta Man]

Stab in the dark here...... but OL = "Over Load"

[Bluray Freak 2009]

Yes I was able to download the manual online and that code = Overload but in the manual it said it was a problem with bank 4 the wii is connected there could it have Overheated from heat build up

[Bluray Freak 2009]

What Do you think happened Beta Man Help

Could it have happned because of heat build up because the House A/C was off shouldn't it always be on when running the HT to prevent heat build up

[Beta Man]

I'm guessing nothing is damaged........ the fact that it tripped to "OL" is just the Panamax doing its job....... something may have not been properly grounded, or it could have been a fluke........ how hot is it in the room? (I'm running Heat, and you're running A/C..... `man life isn't fair )

[Bluray Freak 2009]

What Does Properly Grounded mean

[Bluray Freak 2009]

The Only other thing I can think of is that this house the electrical wiring is all done wrong the outlets are all puling power from the different rooms I guess they are all wired in a series sould I just have all of my HT outlet on a diffrent breaker

I don't know which banks I plugged in my other stuff too will check on monday should I unplug the panamax from the wall just in case and wait untill monday

[Bluray Freak 2009]

I disconnected what ever was plugged into bank 4 which was suggested in the manual which was the wii restarted the panamax and after a few seconds the same problem again the panamax started beeping and everything shut down.

I would unplug everything from it and turn it back on and let it sit for a moment and see if it fails again. Then you know it's the Panamax for sure could be the battery going bad not familiar enough with the brand to know for sure.

If it doesn't fail with nothing plugged in, I would plug one device in at a time and turn them on and try it. If it fails on a device unplug it and try another device if it works then you know which device it is. If it fails then you have exceeded the load on the Panamax.

[DarkDune]

Can you plug the Panamax into an outlet on a different breaker/fuse? You might want an electrician to check the outlet it was plugged into as it may be miswired.

[Steve]

What model of Panamax is it, and how long have you been using it? Have you recently added any new components that are plugged into it?

[Bluray Freak 2009]

I Reconnected everything to the Panamax I know I did something wrong because the receiver was not plugged into the high current bank below is how I have it setup now is that correct.

I just turned everything on and it started beeping and saying Overload what's wrong now

[Steve]

Try plugging your sub directly into the wall. Alot of subwoofers specify not to plug them into power conditioners. See if that makes a difference.

Also what kind of ventilation is there for your Panamax? Is it in an enclosed space?

[Bluray Freak 2009]

The Only thing I can think of is that the TV and the PS3 are plugged into the battery back up could it be that the battery is was dead to begin with or the two components I have plugged into the battery is draining it super fast

[Steve]

Is this Panamax unit new? If so what did you pay for it, and where did you buy it from?

[Bluray Freak 2009]

Yes It is new I bought It from Bestbuy,I Read my sub manual and it did not say that I could not plug it into the Panamax.

I will post a picture of my setup going to take it now

[Steve]

I would still try unplugging the subwoofer from it and see what happens.

[phansson]

I think you have to much power being pulled from the Panamax and it is shutting down because its amperage/wattage are overloaded. I would suggest just plugging the batter backup straight into the wall, run whatever you would like off of that and see if that fixes the problem.

Either that is the problem or you have a direct short somewhere. You might try checking all of the powercords to make sure nothing is crossed or damaged.

[Bluray Freak 2009]

@fireman325 I plugged the Sub Directly Into The wall and I still have the same problem.

@phansson The Battery backup is part of the Panamax Unit
