INTRODUCTION

Your Audio/Video components are constantly being bombarded by electromagnetic interfer- ence (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) through their power cords. This contam- inated power can affect A/V equipment and will degrade the overall performance of your entire system. Common symptoms of contaminated power include pops, hisses, hums, visual arti- facts, etc. Most power filtering devices will remove some of this interference but don’t pro- vide a real solution to the problem.

The MAX® 5300 Sophisticated Filtration

System is a Real Solution!

Outlet Banks 1 & 2:

The primary filtration system features two banks of independently filtered outlets (4 per bank) for A/V equipment. These outlet banks utilize “Balanced Double L” filter circuits which are far superior to any other design in filtering out all forms of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference in both common and normal modes. Cross-contamination between your components is also eliminated with this design. Bank 1 is Always-On, pro- viding continuous power for those compo- nents that have programmable memory set- tings. Bank 2 can be set to either Always-On or switched with a shutdown delay.

High-Current Outlet Bank:

The unique power requirements of current hungry components such as amplifiers and powered subwoofers are also addressed. These components can rapidly draw large amounts of current to replenish their power supply capacitors after thunderous bass notes. Line conditioners that utilize coils (inductors) in series with the AC power line can “choke” off this large inrush current, thereby reducing the amplifiers’ ability to operate at peak per- formance levels, resulting in a flat, dead sound. The MAX® 5300 high-current outlets are fed by noise filtration circuitry that does not utilize coils and provides full, unimpeded power for your amplifiers and powered sub- woofers.

Other Features Enhance the

Functionality:

Although the MAX® 5300 functionality revolves around noise filtration and power protection, many other exciting features enhance the overall entertainment experience, including:

•A backlit analog voltmeter indicates the AC line voltage coming into your system.

•A combination ON/OFF/Dimmer switch controls the meter lighting.

•An always-on, convenience outlet on the front panel for temporary AC connections.

•Sequential start-up and shut-down of your system using an A/V receiver (or other component) and the 12VDC trigger input.

As you read through the rest of this manual, you’ll discover many more unique features. As audiophiles, we care about the quality of your listening and/or viewing experience.

Our goal is to:

•Provide clean pure power

•Protect your investment

•Enhance the pleasure you get from you’re A/V system

Thank you for choosing Panamax for your power quality needs. Please finish reading the instructions, install your MAX ® 5300 and enjoy the full potential of your entertainment system.

MAX 5300 specifications

The Panamax MAX 5300 is an advanced container ship design that epitomizes innovation in maritime engineering. As a part of the Panamax family, these vessels are specifically crafted to maximize efficiency in shipping routes that operate through the Panama Canal and around the world. With dimensions carefully optimized to meet canal size restrictions, the Panamax MAX 5300 represents the evolution of cargo transport, accommodating ever-growing global trade demands.

Featuring a length of approximately 366 meters and a beam of 50 meters, the Panamax MAX 5300 can carry a remarkable capacity of around 5,300 TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units), which includes both standard and refrigerated containers. This capacity not only addresses the increasing volume of goods transported across oceans but also emphasizes the ship's adaptability to various cargo types. The vessel's design intricately balances cargo space with fuel efficiency, which is a crucial consideration in today’s environmentally conscious shipping industry.

One of the standout characteristics of the Panamax MAX 5300 is its state-of-the-art propulsion system. Incorporating fuel-efficient engines equipped with advanced monitoring technology allows for optimized fuel consumption and reduced emissions. The ship is often fitted with the latest in exhaust gas cleaning systems—commonly known as scrubbers—that help in minimizing sulfur emissions, thus complying with international maritime regulations while contributing to cleaner ocean environments.

In terms of onboard technologies, the Panamax MAX 5300 utilizes intelligent cargo management systems that enhance operational efficiency. These systems offer real-time monitoring of cargo conditions, ensuring the integrity of perishable goods during transit. Furthermore, advanced navigation and communication systems provide crew members with precise routing information, leading to safer and more efficient voyages.

The hull design of the Panamax MAX 5300 is engineered for performance, featuring a bulbous bow that minimizes resistance in the water and contributes to fuel savings. Additionally, structural integrity is a priority, employing high-strength steel and advanced construction techniques which enhance durability and safety.

In conclusion, the Panamax MAX 5300 is not just another container ship; it reflects a harmonious blend of capacity, efficiency, and sustainability. As global trade continues to flourish, vessels like the Panamax MAX 5300 are vital in shaping the future of maritime logistics, paving the way for sustainable and efficient shipping practices that are essential in a rapidly evolving economy.
