Open / Close Control

The two vertically arranged push buttons provide dedicated control of a compatible operator:

• CLOSE – initiates closing

The exact operating behavior depends on the operator and how the control station is wired.

Keyed Lockout

The integrated key switch allows the wall station to be enabled or disabled.

When locked out, the OPEN and CLOSE buttons can be prevented from operating, helping restrict unauthorized use during:

• After-hours periods

• Maintenance

• Facility closures

• Restricted-access periods

• Commercial or industrial shutdowns

Two matching keys are supplied with the station.

Exterior-Rated Metal Enclosure

The durable metal housing provides protection for demanding installations.

Its NEMA 3R / 4 / 12 ratings make it suitable for many locations exposed to:

• Rain

• Moisture

• Dust

• Dirt

• Windblown debris

• Commercial and industrial environments

Proper weather-rated conduit and fittings should be used to maintain the required enclosure protection.

Common Applications

Suitable for compatible:

• Commercial sectional garage doors

• Rolling steel doors

• Industrial overhead doors

• Commercial garage door operators

• Automatic gate operators

• Warehouse entrances

• Loading areas

• Parking facilities

• Manufacturing facilities

• Commercial access systems

Compatibility

The 2BXL is designed for operators or control systems that accept separate normally-open OPEN and CLOSE momentary inputs.

Before ordering, verify:

• Operator control circuit

• Required control voltage

• Open / Close input requirements

• Whether a separate STOP circuit is required

• Mounting environment

• Required enclosure rating

Important: This is a 2-button OPEN / CLOSE station. It should not automatically be substituted for a 3-button OPEN / CLOSE / STOP station when the operator requires a normally-closed STOP circuit.
