Maximum Controls - MAX SUPER ARM 1300 Dual-Swing Gate Operator Kit

Dual Linear Actuator Kit for Bi-Parting Residential Swing Gate Installations

The Maximum Controls MAX Super Arm 1300 Dual Kit is a complete bi-parting swing gate operator system consisting of two 24V DC linear actuators and one AC Control Box with DSP Arm Controller configured for dual gate operation. Each actuator, manufactured in Germany, uses a direct gear drive with a 1-1/4 in stainless steel output shaft, a stroke range of 37 in to 54.75 in, and a patented 2-ton overload clutch that releases automatically on vehicle impact and resets without manual intervention. Gate capacity per leaf is 1,300 lbs at 8 ft, 800 lbs at 10 ft, and 600 lbs at 12 ft. Both push-open and pull-open installation orientations are supported, and each leaf can be configured independently. The system is UL 325/991 Class I, II, III, and IV compliant, meets the UL 2018 standard, and is ETL listed and CSA approved.

The DSP Arm Controller manages both actuators from a single control point, with two independently adjustable closing speed controls at 16 positions each. For asymmetric bi-parting installations where one leaf opens to a different angle than the other, the independent closing speeds allow the installer to visually synchronize the closing cycle without additional hardware. The AC Control Box, assembled in the USA, houses the DSP Arm Controller, two 12V 7Ah AGM batteries delivering approximately 500 backup cycles across three selectable modes, a 10A power supply with two 115VAC accessory outlets, a loop rack, LCD display, jog key switch, and UL reset button in a gold zinc plated and powder-coated steel enclosure. Security features include a Tamper Alert relay, Gate Disable function, advanced anti-tailgate detection, and magnetic lock relay outputs with selectable delay times. Lightning protection covers all 35 input, output, and communication channels at up to 20,000V and 10,000A.

Key Features

• Two MAX Super Arm 1300 actuators manufactured in Germany with 24V DC motors, 1-1/4 in stainless steel output shafts, and direct gear drive. Each actuator strokes from 37 in to 54.75 in with no internal chains, belts, or pulleys.
• Patented 2-ton overload clutch on each actuator releases automatically on vehicle impact while the gate is in motion and resets without manual intervention.
• Two independently adjustable closing speed controls at 16 positions each allow closing sync on asymmetric bi-parting installations where gate leaves open to different angles.
• Dual 12V 7Ah AGM batteries deliver approximately 500 backup cycles with three selectable modes; Magic Box option extends low-voltage remote power wiring up to 1,000 ft. Solar mode reduces idle draw to 5 milliamps for off-grid installations.
• Tamper Alert relay activates on forced gate movement; Gate Disable blocks all standard open commands from tampered keypads or exit loops, activatable by key-switch or timer.
• Lightning protection across all 35 channels rated up to 20,000V and 10,000A, with guaranteed protection from any strike beyond 50 ft.
• Optional Max Cloud App supports cellular remote operation, virtual transmitter management for over 10,000 users, time-restricted access, guest pass issuance, and remote diagnostics retrieval.

Conclusion

The DSP Arm Controller must be set to dual operator mode for bi-parting operation; confirm this setting during installation. For asymmetric gate configurations where leaves open to unequal angles, adjust whichever leaf closes first to a slower speed setting until both leaves arrive simultaneously. Each actuator includes silver zinc plated front and rear mounting brackets. The optional Solar Control Box with 24V MorningStar solar regulator and two 12V 18Ah AGM batteries is available separately for off-grid installations. The optional Max Cloud App is not compatible with the Phantom F6 or 2000 Plus models. Warranty coverage applies only to products purchased through authorized distributors.
