PETALUMA, CA — November 12, 2004 — Panamax, the leading manufacturer of power protection and conditioning products, introduces the MAX 5510-Pro (model # M5510-Pro), the newest addition to its custom installation-centered PRO Series. Tailored specifically for home theater system installers who need a high-end power conditioner that works with today’s advanced home automation systems, the MAX 5510-Pro features an RS-232 interface for home automation system compatibility, along with selectable Isolated or Balanced Power output.
“Our MAX 5510-Pro complements automation systems like AMX and Crestron by providing the installer with home theater power conditioning that can integrate seamlessly with the automation system,” said Don King, director of product marketing at Panamax. “This new model combines our user-selectable Balanced/Isolated Power technology with all of the other enhanced performance features introduced last year in the MAX 5410-Pro.”
The MAX 5510-Pro is designed to improve system performance and distribute clean, safe power to home theater equipment in an automated home. Its RS-232 interface controls the power state of connected equipment, and allows for programming power cycles on components like satellite receivers, which may lock up after downloading software updates. The selectable Balanced/Isolated power modes allow the installer to match the unit’s noise filtration & conditioning to the specific needs of an installation.
Meter lighting is controlled by a front-panel pushbutton which cycles between Low Amber, High Amber, Low Blue, High Blue and Off. A 12-volt-in trigger, combined with time-delay AC outlet capability, controls start-up and shut-down of amplifiers, and avoids damage to partner components like speakers. A 12-Volt-out trigger, generated by the M5510-Pro, enables combined automation functions and facilitates one-button system operation by initiating appliances like automated screens, lifts, and draperies. In addition, the MAX 5510-Pro features isolation between outlet banks and noise filtration both at input and bi-directionally between interconnected components.
With a suggested retail price of $1499.00, the MAX 5510-Pro increases the functional value of interconnected components in the most sensitive and demanding home automation environments. It is the newest, most effective tool for handling power filtration issues.
The MAX 5510-Pro is scheduled to ship in January 2005.
