MMTC 1EBX Explosion Proof One Button Surface Mount Control Station Product Details
The MMTC 1EBX is a one-button surface-mount control station built for demanding commercial and industrial locations where a standard indoor or NEMA 4 push button is not the correct enclosure choice. It provides a single push-button command in a heavy metal enclosure commonly listed under NEMA 7 and NEMA 9 explosion-proof control station categories. In the field, this type of station is often used as an open, cycle, start, or remote command station for a compatible operator control circuit. The 1EBX is different from the 2EBX and 3EBX because it only provides one button, so it should not be used when separate open-close or open-close-stop controls are required. Match the button function and normally-open input to the operator wiring diagram before ordering.
Compatible With
May be used with commercial overhead door operators, rolling steel door operators, industrial door controls, dock door controls, select gate operators, barrier arm operators, and access control systems that accept low-voltage dry-contact push-button commands when a single-button surface-mounted dry-contact command station is required. Common applications include commercial overhead doors, rolling steel doors, industrial doors, controlled service entrances, select gate operator controls, and barrier operator controls. Related MMTC explosion-proof station options include 2EBX for OPEN-CLOSE and 3EBX for OPEN-CLOSE-STOP. Verify the control-board input, site enclosure requirement, and command logic before using it as a replacement.

Technician Note
Use the 1EBX when the system needs one command input. If the old station has separate open and close buttons, or open-close-stop buttons, look at 2EBX or 3EBX instead.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the old station is a one-button station.
- Verify whether the button is used for OPEN, CYCLE, START, or another command.
- Confirm the job requires a NEMA 7/9 explosion-proof style enclosure.
- Check the operator wiring diagram for the correct common and command terminals.
- Do not substitute a standard surface station in a hazardous-location application.
Professional Advisory
Explosion-proof control stations must be selected for the actual site conditions. For hazardous-location, conduit, or high-voltage work, use a qualified electrical or door technician.
Product Q&A
How many buttons does the 1EBX have?
The 1EBX has one push button for a single command function such as open, start, or cycle, depending on how the operator is wired.
Is the 1EBX the same as the 2EBX?
No. The 1EBX is a one-button station, while the 2EBX provides separate OPEN and CLOSE buttons.
Can the 1EBX be used outside?
It is a rugged surface-mount station, but the correct choice depends on the required enclosure rating and hazardous-location requirements for the site.
What operators can use this station?
It may be used with operators that accept a compatible dry-contact input from an external push-button station.
Does this include open-close-stop control?
No. For open-close-stop control, use a three-button station such as 3EBX or another compatible MMTC three-button model.
