MECHANICAL RELEASE
Maximum Controls recognizes swing gates are more prone to vehicular collisions. For this reason, the Max
SUPER ARM 1300 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 1300 reset automatically.

Opening one 90° and the other is 75°
with the independent closing speeds adjusted

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.

approximations based upon the average
solar radiation and the temperature
effects on batteries in the given regions.
Local geography and weather conditions

USE LOW POWER accessories in order to
minimize power draw. Each additional
