Nice Apollo 1050i Control Board

Advanced Gate Automation Made Simple

The Apollo 1050 control board transforms gate automation by combining universal smart control board technology with intuitive programming that eliminates guesswork. Whether you’re managing swing gate systems or slide gate operators, this next-generation board delivers cutting edge access solutions without the installation headaches that plague older control units.

Why You’ll Love It

• Universal compatibility – Works seamlessly with all 12 VDC and 24 VDC Nice Apollo swing and slide gate operators

• Smart battery charge management – Temperature-compensated charging extends backup power life and optimizes solar applications

• LCD display simplicity – Clear two-line screen makes easy programming and troubleshooting easier than ever

• UL 325 safety compliance – Built-in protection features ensure reliable entrapment prevention and force monitoring

• Massive user capacity – Supports up to 1,000 rolling-code transmitters for communities, commercial properties, or large families

What Makes It Different

Most control boards force you to choose between compatibility and features. They require complex DIP switch configurations or lack the intelligence to handle modern safety requirements.

The Apollo 1050 is designed differently:

• BlueBUS 2-wire technology – Self-identifying photo eyes and edge sensors connect with a single cable, reducing wiring complexity

• Advanced obstacle detection – The system distinguishes impact from dragging force, preventing false reversals while maintaining genuine safety response

• Dual-gate synchronization – Master/slave management coordinates two control units working together for bi-parting gates without external relay logic

How It Works

1. Connect with confidence Wire the control board to your existing gate opener using clearly labeled terminal blocks. The wide input voltage range (10-35 VDC) handles real-world power variations.

2. Program through the LCD display Navigate intuitive menus to set speeds, forces, timers, and safety parameters. The built-in learn function automatically calibrates settings to your specific gate.

3. Operate with peace of mind Enjoy automated gate operation with enhanced protection against electric shocks, surge damage, and entrapment hazards—all while managing access for up to 1,000 users.

   
   

   Frequently Asked Questions

   Is the Apollo 1050 compatible with my existing gate opener? Yes. This universal smart control board works with all Nice Apollo swing and slide gate operators in both 12 VDC and 24 VDC configurations. Find your specific model in our compatibility list or request help via email.

   Do I need special safety devices? The 1050US version requires monitored entrapment protection devices (photo eyes, edge sensors, or loop detectors) per UL 325 standards. This ensures proper force limiting and obstacle detection in one direction or both.

   How difficult is installation? The LCD display, clearly labeled terminals, and learn function make installation straightforward for professionals. The board offers built-in buttons for local operation during setup and includes a voltmeter for troubleshooting without separate equipment.

   What’s the difference between 1050US and international version? The US version requires safety sensors for UL compliance and includes usage class settings for vehicular gates. The international version does not have these mandatory requirements but offers the same core features. Select the option that matches your region’s code requirements.

   Does it work with solar power? Absolutely. The board includes a dedicated solar panel input (up to 30W), integrated solar regulator, and low standby consumption—making it an excellent choice when line power isn’t available.
