8-Nov-00

Panamax, the award-winning manufacturer of surge protection equipment, introduces the INTELLIMAXÆ A/V Power Controller, Line Conditioner and Surge Protector for PanjaÆ Home Automation Systems. INTELLIMAX is the first product to combine AC power control, intelligent voltage monitoring and current-sensing capability into a single unit for use with home automation networks.The INTELLIMAX design incorporates a Panja interface, allowing automation installers to fully integrate home theatre equipment into an electronic home system.""Having INTELLIMAX synchronize multiple devices within the home is a huge convenience for the homeowner,"" says Henry Moody, founder and Chairman of Panamax. ""It simplifies the process of tying the home theatre system together with home automation, in a way never before possible.""The INTELLIMAX offers eight AC receptacles: two are ""always on,"" two are ""switched,"" and four are ""current-sensing."" The INTELLIMAX switched outlets allow users to switch on-off those components that cannot be controlled by infrared (IR) signals. The INTELLIMAX current-sensing outlets inform the Panja home automation system as to which home theatre components are turned on or off - this eliminates accidental component switching during macro execution. The INTELLIMAXís sleek and versatile design allows it to be used as either a rack-style component, or as a standalone unit.The INTELLIMAX offers premier surge protection technology in the form of programmable SurgeGate Plusô Circuitry. SurgeGate Plusô Circuitry is a ""power monitoring system"" that protects AC equipment against prolonged over-voltages, ""plus"" under-voltages (brownouts). In the event of a prolonged over-voltage or under-voltage, SurgeGate Plus Circuitry will automatically disconnect power to connected equipment, then reconnect it once power has returned to a safe level. Disconnect thresholds are user-programmable, allowing each installation to be customized for optimum surge protection. For more information about Panamax, visit www.panamax.com.
