Panamax Introduces The New MAXÆ 8 Series With Premier Surge Protection Technology

8-Nov-00

Panamax, the leading manufacturer of surge protection products, introduces the new MAXÆ 8 Series with Premier Surge Protection technology. The MAX 8 Series is a new generation of products designed to protect small business and home electronics. The MAX 8 Series of Surge Protectors represents an exclusive breakthrough by Panamax in the form of SurgeGateô circuitry - a ""power monitoring"" system that protects AC equipment against prolonged over-voltages, as well as surges. In the event of a prolonged over-voltage, SurgeGate circuitry will disconnect power to equipment, then automatically reconnect it once power has returned to a safe level.Two of the MAX 8 Series surge protectors - the MAX 8 Coax and MAX 8 DBS+5 - feature an enhanced version of the SurgeGate power monitoring system, known as SurgeGate Plusô circuitry. The ""Plus"" refers to its ability to protect against prolonged under-voltages (brownouts), as well as prolonged over-voltages. This circuitry automatically disconnects power when either event is detected, then reconnects power once it has returned to a safe level.MAX 8 surge protectors build upon the sleek design and unsurpassed technology characteristic of other new Panamax products. So far in 2000, Panamax has introduced 14 innovative products, maintaining its leadership in the advancement of surge protection development. ""The MAX 8 Series is an exciting addition to the new generation of products being released this year,"" proclaims company President Bill Pollock. ""The MAX 8 ëpower monitoringí feature represents a new standard of quality and innovation for surge protection. This places Panamax yet another step ahead of other brands within the industry.""In addition to the exclusive SurgeGateô or SurgeGate Plusô circuitry, the MAX 8 line comes with numerous features designed for user convenience. The MAX 8 design includes eight protected AC outlets, all spaced to accommodate transformers for maximum flexibility. Four outlets are ""always on"" and four are ""switched."" Every MAX 8 model comes with EMI/RFI noise filtration. Four diagnostic lights indicate protection status, proper grounding, improperly wired outlets, and unsafe voltage events. MAX 8 surge protectors are wall mountable, and come with an eight-foot power cord featuring a right angle plug for ease of installation. In addition, the MAX 8 design allows users to customize and expand their protection with an unlimited number of MAX AllPathÆ modules.The MAX 8 Series of Surge Protectors consists of four new products - MAX 8, MAX 8 Tel, MAX 8 Coax and MAX 8 DBS+5.The MAX 8 is designed to protect small business and home electronics, and features SurgeGate circuitry.The MAX 8 Tel is designed to protect small business and home electronics that utilize telephone or modem lines, and features SurgeGate circuitry. Other highlights include Signal Perfectô circuitry with solid-state SIDACtorsÆ and auto-resetting PTCRs, ensuring maximum protection and clear telephone line connections.The MAX 8 Coax is designed to protect connected home A/V systems that utilize coaxial cable lines, and features SurgeGate Plus circuitry. Shielded Signal Perfect circuitry for coaxial lines uses solid-state components, providing maximum protection and the lowest interference levels possible. Gold-plated coaxial connectors help to optimize cable TV (and HDTV) reception.The MAX 8 DBS+5 is designed to protect connected direct broadcast satellite systems that utilize phone and coaxial cable lines. It features SurgeGate Plus and Signal Perfect circuitry. The MAX 8 DBS+5 comes with four sets of gold plated coaxial connectors - two sets are engineered specifically for direct broadcast satellite systems, and the other two sets for cable TV (and HDTV) and cable modems. Connected satellite receivers with single or dual LNBs are covered by an exclusive Five Year Expanded Warranty.Retail prices for the MAX 8 Series range between $49.95 and $149.95 in the U.S., and each carries a Lifetime Product and $5,000,000 Connected Equipment Warranty.
