Maximum Controls Matrix III Control Board for Pro Series

Genuine OEM Control Board for Maximum Controls PRO Series Gate Operators The Matrix III is the genuine OEM Maximum Controls control board for the PRO series of brushless DC gate operators, including the MAX 1500 PRO, MAX 2200 PRO, MAX F18 PRO, MAX 1200 FS PRO, MAX 1700 FS PRO, MAX MEGATRON 1400 PRO, MAX MEGATRON 1400 HP PRO, MAX MEGATRON 2200 PRO, and MAX MEGATRON 2200 HP PRO. Mounted inside the operator housing, the Matrix III drives the brushless DC motor, manages all gate-cycle logic, interfaces with safety sensors, accessory devices, and access control inputs, and provides the diagnostic and programming interface for the installation. The Matrix III is the correct factory-sourced replacement when the existing board fails due to lightning damage, water intrusion, power surge, or extended service life. Beyond standard motor control, the Matrix III carries 16-position ERD sensitivity adjustment for both opening and closing directions with independent motor overload monitoring, monitored UL 325 2018 entrapment protection inputs for both Normally Closed and 10K resistor-terminated sensors across Opening, Photo Close, and Open-Close channels, an integrated three-slot loop detector rack for Exit, Center, and Safety loops, and built-in maglock control with adjustable disengagement timing. The on-board LCD display and programming buttons walk the installer through date and time setup, mode configuration, and feature toggles. A USB OBD and Black Box port logs the last 8,000 events to any standard USB flash drive for download to a computer or smartphone, giving installers full event history for field diagnostics. Solar operation is supported natively through the POWER/SOLAR IN terminal with an on-board Solar Mode switch for off-grid installations.

Each operator uses a model-specific ID plug that must be transferred from the failed board to the replacement. If the ID plug is not installed, the board will beep continuously and the operator will not function. The MAX F18 PRO is restricted to UL Class III and IV applications; the MAX 1500 PRO and 2200 PRO cover all four UL Classes. When replacing the board, inspect the motor wiring harness, limit sensor cables, entrapment protection devices, and accessory transformers for damage at the same time, as electrical faults in connected components are a common cause of board failure.
