The Max Super Arm 2300 has a solid stainless steel output
shaft and key lock for mechanical release. For emergency
release unlock the key and lift up the hood. To engage the
actuator, push down the hood and lock to resume automatic
operation.
The Max Super Arm 2300 ships with a heavy duty half
inch stock rear bracket that is broached and welded.
Both brackets front and rear, are silver zinc plated.

Maximum Controls recognizes swing gates are more prone to vehicular collisions. For this reason, the Max
Super Arm 2300 will collapse on impact when struck by vehicular traffic. When a vehicle hits a moving gate,
to avoid damage to the actuators, the Super Arm 2300 reset automatically.

ASYMMETRIC SPEED CONTROL
For asymmetric installations the two independent closing speeds can be
adjusted to achieve a smooth closing sync. Whichever gate closes first,
slow it down. This enables the installer to visually sync the closing cycle.
This feature is unique to Maximum Control’s actuators.

key switch for emergency access or egress, a 10 amp power supply with two 115 VAC
accessory outlets, two 7 amp batteries conveniently located behind the control panel, a
loop rack and much more. A lockable steel cover finishes off this slick design.
A convenient LCD display keeps you informed. Functional data and error messages are
visible when an accessory failure or function is present. This makes troubleshooting and
monitoring a breeze.
These many features can be explored in our downloadable installation manual available on
