FEATURE DETAILS

Diagnostic Lights

The MAX® 5300 is loaded with special features to save your connected equipment from many different forms of dangerous power disturbances. Five diagnostic lights on the front panel inform you in the event of a power disturbance or when a spe - cial feature is activated. The indicators are:

Switched Outlets: Green LED. This light indicates the status of the “Switched Outlets” pushbutton on the front panel and corresponds with the switch position. When the button is in the “ON” position, the light is ON. When the button is in the “OFF” position, the light is OFF. “Switched Outlets” refers to Outlet Bank 2 and the High-Current Outlets. See their respective sections for switching options.

DC Voltage Trigger: Green LED. This light indicates status of the DC voltage trigger on the back panel of the MAX® 5300. The light is ON when the DC voltage trigger is activated and OFF when the DC voltage trigger is not receiving a signal. This light will also be ON if nothing is plugged into the DC voltage trigger input jack. This indicates that the DC voltage trigger is being bypassed.

Ground OK: Green LED. When this light is ON, it indicates that the wall outlet is properly wired. When the light is OFF, it indicates that the wall outlet has reversed line and neutral wires, or that there is no ground present.

Line Fault: Red LED. When this light is ON, it is indicating that the wall outlet has a reversed line and neutral wire, or there is no ground present. This light will remain OFF if the wall outlet is properly wired.

Unsafe Voltage: Red LED. Under normal voltage conditions, this light stays OFF. When this light is FLASHING slow- ly (once per second), it indicates an undervoltage (<90 VAC) or overvoltage (>132VAC) condition. When the light is flash- ing quickly (4 times per second), it indicates a 10 second recovery period from an under/overvoltage condition. This light will flash quickly when the MAX® 5300 is first plugged into the wall outlet.

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. The MAX® 5300 is designed to eliminate these transients by providing a “start-up” delay for the High-Current outlets and a “shutdown” delay for Outlet Bank 2. This allows the components plugged into the switched out- lets to power-up and stabilize before any amplifiers and powered sub-woofers are turned on. This sequence is reversed dur- ing shutdown. The amplifiers and powered sub-woofers turn off, their power supplies drain, then the equipment plugged into Outlet Bank 2 is turned off.

Information on setting the delay times is included in the Outlet Bank 2 and High Current Outlet Bank sections that follow.

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.
