MMTC 2EBX Explosion Proof Two Button Open-Close Control Station Product Details
The MMTC 2EBX is a two-button OPEN-CLOSE control station designed for severe commercial and industrial environments where a protected explosion-proof style enclosure is required. The station gives the user two distinct momentary commands, one for open and one for close, instead of using a single cycle button. This is useful on door and gate systems where the operator control board provides separate terminals for open and close commands. The 2EBX shares the same general EBX family form factor as the 1EBX and 3EBX, but the button layout and control logic are different. A two-button station should not be installed where the operator requires a normally-closed stop circuit unless that function is provided somewhere else in the control system.
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 that accept separate OPEN and CLOSE dry-contact commands from a surface-mounted station. Commonly associated with commercial overhead doors, rolling steel doors, industrial entrances, loading area controls, select gate operator controls, and barrier systems. Related MMTC models include 1EBX for one-button control and 3EBX for open-close-stop control. Verify NEMA 7/9 requirements, contact style, and operator command terminals before ordering.

Technician Note
The 2EBX is for two-command control. If the application needs a STOP button or a normally-closed stop circuit at the same station, review a three-button model before ordering.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the old station has two buttons, not one or three.
- Verify separate OPEN and CLOSE terminals are available on the operator.
- Confirm the required enclosure is NEMA 7/9 explosion-proof style.
- Check that STOP control is handled elsewhere if required.
- Use qualified service personnel for hazardous-location wiring.
Professional Advisory
Do not bypass or eliminate required stop controls, entrapment protection, or safety circuits when replacing a control station. The station must be wired according to the operator manual and local code.
Product Q&A
What commands does the 2EBX provide?
The 2EBX provides separate OPEN and CLOSE push-button commands.
Does the 2EBX have a stop button?
No. It is an OPEN-CLOSE station only. A three-button model is needed when local open-close-stop control is required.
Is the 2EBX interchangeable with the 1EBX?
No. The 1EBX has one button, while the 2EBX has separate open and close buttons.
What contact type is commonly associated with the 2EBX?
The OPEN and CLOSE buttons are commonly associated with normally-open command contacts.
Can it be used for gates as well as doors?
It may be used with compatible gate or door operators that accept matching dry-contact command inputs and meet the site enclosure requirements.
