MMTC PBC-1 NEMA 1 One Button Interior Flush Mount Control Station Product Details
The MMTC PBC-1 is a compact one-button interior control station for low-voltage command circuits on compatible door and gate operators. It mounts flush into an interior wall box and gives the user a single momentary command button. In many installations that button is wired as a cycle, open, start, or activation input, depending on the operator. The PBC series is useful when the installer wants a clean in-wall station rather than a surface-mounted metal box. The PBC-1 is the one-button version and should be chosen only when the system does not require separate open-close or open-close-stop controls at that location. Because it is a NEMA 1 interior control station, it is not the correct choice for exposed exterior, wet, or washdown applications.
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 one-button interior flush-mount dry-contact station is required. Commonly associated with interior wall control locations for commercial overhead doors, rolling doors, dock doors, operator rooms, access-control interfaces, and select gate control panels. Related PBC models include PBC-2 for two-button OPEN-CLOSE control and PBC-3 for three-button OPEN-CLOSE-STOP control. Verify button count, box size, contact logic, and operator command terminals before ordering.

Technician Note
If the old control station has only one button, confirm whether it is wired as a cycle input or a dedicated open input. The replacement station can only do what the operator input terminals are wired to do.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the required station has one button.
- Verify the location is interior and suitable for NEMA 1 equipment.
- Check the wall box opening and faceplate size.
- Identify the operator command terminal being used.
- Do not use this in a wet or exposed exterior location.
Professional Advisory
Control wiring should be low-voltage and connected to the correct command terminals. Do not connect a control station to line voltage unless the operator documentation specifically allows it and a qualified technician performs the work.

No. It is a NEMA 1 interior station and should not be used in exposed exterior or wet locations.
Can the PBC-1 replace a PBC-2?
No. PBC-1 has one button, while PBC-2 has two buttons for applications that need separate commands.
