NICE / APOLLO MX5000 Single Retro Bracket for CBX310
The Nice Apollo MX5000 retrofit bracket is a mechanical mounting part used to secure a Mercury 310 controller in compatible CBX310-style control-box applications. In the field, this bracket is most useful when a control box is being repaired, updated, or reconfigured and the Mercury 310 board needs a proper mounting position rather than being improvised inside the enclosure. A correct bracket matters because the controller must sit securely, clear the enclosure lid, maintain service access, and keep wiring organized without stressing terminals or harnesses. MX5000 should be selected by the control-box layout and Mercury 310 board mounting pattern, not by operator brand alone.

Technician Note
Match this part by the exact manufacturer part number, installed operator or enclosure, and the current parts diagram. Similar Nice Apollo parts can look close but differ by controller platform, cable length, frequency, mounting pattern, enclosure layout, or safety-device requirements.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the original part number on the installed component or parts diagram.
- Confirm the operator model, control box, accessory system, or enclosure family.
- Check voltage, frequency, code capacity, cable length, mounting pattern, and included hardware where applicable.
- Inspect nearby wiring, harnesses, batteries, brackets, covers, and safety devices for related damage.
- Do not substitute similar-looking parts unless the current Nice Apollo parts diagram confirms the replacement.
Professional Advisory
Gate operator electrical work, control-board replacement, battery/charging repairs, and access-control wiring should be handled carefully. Do not bypass monitored safety devices, fuses, grounding, photo eyes, or safety edges. If the gate moves unpredictably, has exposed wiring, or involves high-voltage diagnosis, use a qualified gate technician.
Product Q&A
What does the MX5000 bracket do?
MX5000 provides a mounting method for a Mercury 310 controller in compatible CBX310-style control-box applications.
Is MX5000 a control board?
No. It is a mounting bracket only. The Mercury 310 control board, wiring, enclosure, batteries, and other parts are separate.
Can this bracket be used in any Apollo control box?
No. It should be used only where the enclosure and Mercury 310 mounting pattern match the MX5000 bracket layout.
How is MX5000 different from MX5196?
MX5000 is a single retro CBX310 bracket reference. MX5196 is a separate retrofit bracket kit commonly listed for mounting a Mercury 310 controller into CBOX/SolarBOX style enclosures.
What should be verified before installing it?
Verify the box model, existing standoff locations, controller board, lid clearance, and harness reach before installing the bracket.
