Product Details
The MMTC 2BXT is the compact non-metallic double-pole version of MMTCs exterior two-button open-close control station. It is used when a gate, commercial door, rolling door, or equipment controller needs separate open and close push buttons, and the wiring design benefits from double-pole contacts. The non-metallic NEMA-style enclosure is narrower than the square metal 2BX housing, which can make it a better match for tight wall, post, or equipment-panel locations. Because it does not include a stop button, the 2BXT should be used only where the control design allows an open-close station or where a proper stop circuit is provided elsewhere. The double-pole contact arrangement should be confirmed before replacing a standard 2BX or other two-button station.
Compatible With
This control station is compatible by control-circuit design, not by brand name alone. Use it only when the operator or control panel supports the same button functions and contact style.
- Select commercial door operators with open and close dry-contact station terminals
- Select gate operators, parking controls, and access-control panels accepting open-close station inputs
- Exterior installations needing a compact non-metallic two-button station
- Control circuits requiring double-pole contacts for one or both button functions
- Replacement for existing 2BXT stations where enclosure size, contact style, and button layout match

Technician Note
2BXT and 2BX are not automatically interchangeable. The 2BXT uses a non-metallic compact enclosure and double-pole contacts, while the 2BX is the metal enclosure version. These stations are typically wired to low-voltage or control-voltage terminals, but the actual circuit rating and wiring method must follow the operator manufacturer instructions.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the exact MMTC part number on the old station or parts list.
- Confirm the number of buttons and the intended button functions.
- Check whether the application is interior or exterior and whether the enclosure rating is appropriate.
- Match the contact style, including momentary, maintained, single-pole, double-pole, normally open, and normally closed requirements.
- Compare the enclosure footprint, conduit entry, and available mounting space.
- For any stop or emergency-stop circuit, verify the control logic before changing parts.
Professional Advisory
Do not use a push-button station to bypass monitored safety devices, entrapment protection, interlocks, or required stop circuits. If the operator moves unexpectedly, has damaged controls, or involves high-voltage wiring, have the system checked by a qualified gate or commercial door technician.
Questions and Answers
What is the MMTC 2BXT used for?
The MMTC 2BXT is used as a manual control-station device for compatible gate, commercial door, overhead door, parking, or equipment-control circuits. The exact button function depends on how the control station is wired to the operator or panel.
Is the MMTC 2BXT compatible with all gate and garage door operators?
No. It may be used with select operators that accept the same dry-contact input style, button count, enclosure type, and contact arrangement. Always match the wiring diagram and the original control-station function before ordering.
Can this control station be used as a safety device?
No. This is a manual command device. It is not a monitored photo eye, safety edge, loop detector, or entrapment protection device, and it should not be used to bypass required safety devices.
What should be checked before replacing an existing 2BXT?
Check the original part number, button labels, enclosure footprint, conduit entry, contact type, stop-circuit logic where applicable, and whether the operator expects normally open or normally closed control contacts.
Can a similar MMTC station with the same number of buttons be substituted?
Not automatically. Similar-looking MMTC stations may differ by enclosure material, NEMA rating, double-pole contact construction, latching versus momentary action, stop contact logic, or mounting footprint.
