The CS320 ATEX controller is an explosion-protected control system designed for use with Marantec ATEX door operators. It ensures safe control and monitoring of industrial door drives in hazardous environments.
The system includes safety barriers, motor protection, and advanced control electronics for reliable operation.
ATEX industrial motors are specially designed explosion-proof electric motors engineered for safe operation in hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dust may be present. These motors comply with strict ATEX directives and are constructed to prevent ignition sources such as sparks, arcs, or excessive heat.
Used extensively in industrial door automation systems, including roller shutter and sectional door drives, these motors provide reliable performance, high torque, and long service life under demanding conditions.
ATEX motors are a critical component in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, food production, and pharmaceuticals, where safety and compliance are essential.

Within an MFZ Ovitor installation, this Ex-e terminal box is typically used to:
The ATEX Key Switch is a:
From Marantec ATEX documentation:
This is high-level industrial explosion protection
From MFZ ATEX datasheet:
Compact but rugged industrial design
Used in explosion-risk environments, such as:
Often paired with:
Key Switch → Controller → Motor → Door
The EX Taster acts as:
You cannot replace it with a normal switch because:
The Atex rated Reflex Photocell 24V is an explosion-proof reflective photoelectric sensor designed for safe operation in hazardous environments. Built with intrinsically safe “Ex ia” protection, it ensures that electrical energy levels remain low enough to prevent ignition, even under fault conditions.
This reflective light barrier system consists of a transmitter/receiver unit and reflector, allowing reliable detection of objects or interruptions without requiring a separate receiver unit. The front-mounted configuration simplifies installation and alignment in industrial door applications.
(Consolidated from Marantec-type units + verified equivalents)
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Reflex (retro-reflective) photocell |
| Power supply | 12–24 V AC/DC (nominal 24 V) |
| Operating principle | Infrared beam + reflector |
| Range | Typically 8–15 m (depending on reflector) |
| Output | Relay (NO/NC contacts) |
| Response time | <10–20 ms |
| Current consumption | ~30–50 mA |
| Ingress protection | IP45–IP67 (model dependent) |
| Operating temperature | ~−20 °C to +60 °C |

| Wiring | 2–4 wire depending on relay setup |
This is different from dual-beam systems, which require wiring on both sides.
In systems like Marantec, these are used to:
This is considered a primary safety device, but often used alongside:
| Type | Wiring | Setup | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reflex (this product) | One side only | Easy | Retrofit / long driveways |
| Through-beam (TX/RX) | Both sides | More wiring | Higher precision |
The sensor is commonly used in ATEX-certified door systems to provide safety monitoring, obstruction detection, and automated control functions. It integrates seamlessly with explosion-proof control panels and operators from MFZOvitor / Marantec.
Explosion-proof single push button control device designed for use in hazardous environments where explosive gasses or dust may be present. It is specifically engineered for integration with ATEX-certified industrial door systems such as roller shutter and sectional door operators.
This front-mounted push button station provides safe and reliable manual control of door systems within hazardous zones. The robust enclosure and ATEX-compliant components ensure safe operation without risk of ignition.
The unit is commonly used in combination with Marantec explosion-proof drives and control systems, forming part of a complete ATEX-certified door automation solution.
