Maximum Controls Matrix 1 Control Board

Matrix 1 Control Board for Gate Operators Manufactured Prior to the 2018 UL 325 Standard The Matrix 1 is the genuine OEM Maximum Controls control board for all Maximum Controls gate operators manufactured prior to the 2018 UL 325 standard update. Mounted inside the operator housing, the Matrix 1 manages all gate-cycle logic, coordinates with the MAX MC-200 motor controller for motor operation and entrapment protection, interfaces with in-ground loop detectors and access control inputs, and provides the primary programming and diagnostic interface for the installation. The Matrix 1 is the correct factory-sourced replacement when the existing board fails due to lightning damage, water intrusion, power surge, or extended service life. The Matrix 1 carries a full complement of access and security features for residential and commercial gate applications. Gate speed is adjustable across 16 selectable positions via the MC-200 motor controller. The close timer provides 16 selectable positions from a half-second minimum to 60 seconds maximum. Anti-tailgate and single-pass anti-tailgate modes work in conjunction with in-ground safety loops to prevent unauthorized vehicle entry during the closing cycle. The Gate Disable input locks out all standard opening devices while leaving Fire Department and MAX Open inputs active, operable by timer or on/off switch. The on-board OBD Black Box port logs the most recent 1,000 timestamped events to any USB flash drive for field diagnostics without special software. Solar operation is supported through the POWER/SOLAR IN terminal on the MAX BC-7 battery module with an optional MAX Solar Power Kit. Dual gate configurations use RS-485 wired communication between the primary and secondary operators, with the secondary operator requiring no Matrix 1 board of its own.
