When it comes to industrial door panels, reliability and performance aren’t optional — they’re essential. But for door engineers and installers, ease of setup and straightforward programming are just as critical.
The Promax+ panel is designed not only to deliver unmatched durability and efficiency in demanding environments but also to make installation faster and simpler. With intelligent plug-in modules and an intuitive digital display, the Promax+ allows engineers to complete installations more efficiently, reduce setup time, and minimise call-backs.
Read along to find out why the Promax+ sets a new benchmark in the Industrial Door Control Panel Market.
Here's why the Promax+ is unmatched:
Built-in Safety for Faster, Stress-Free Installations
The Promax+ panel comes fully equipped with 8k2 safety and optical safety support as standard, so installers don’t need to worry about adding complex extras or navigating tricky compatibility issues on-site.
With the built-on support for these accessories, achieving full compliance is straightforward and reliable, saving time during setup and reducing potential call-backs later.
For door engineers, it means fewer surprises and the confidence of knowing every installation is fully protected during use.
Encoder Compatibility for Effortless Digital Limit Setup
The Promax+ panel is fully compatible with both Kostal and Elektromaten encoders. Being one of the only panels on the market that offers both encoder types, this allows the Promax+ to suit the installer’s preference, making digital limit setting fast and precise.
No more time-consuming manual adjustments or trial-and-error limit setting at a high level. Instead, you can program door positions digitally right from the control panel, with accuracy and confidence, ensuring a smooth set-up process.
This advanced function simplifies commissioning, reduces setup time, and helps ensure fewer post-installation adjustments, giving engineers the ability to deliver a polished, professional result more efficiently.
Next-Level Flexibility with Plug-in Modules – A True Game Changer
What really sets the Promax+ panel apart is its unrivalled modular design. While most panels on the market limit installers with rigid, fixed configurations, the Promax+ empowers engineers with a comprehensive suite of plug-in modules – making it one of the most adaptable industrial door control solutions available today.
Radio module — Add or upgrade radio control quickly, without complex rewiring.
Loop module — Seamlessly integrate ground loops for precise vehicle detection and improved traffic flow.
Traffic light module — Easily connect traffic management systems to enhance site safety and efficiency.
Wireless safety edge module — Upgrade to wireless safety edges effortlessly, reducing installation time and cable clutter.
Thanks to its true plug-in architecture, expanding or customising a system is fast, clean, and future-proof — no messy modifications or specialist add-ons needed.
For installers, this means faster installations, simpler upgrades, and the ability to tailor each project exactly to the customer’s needs — all with minimal hassle. It’s a flexibility most competing panels simply can’t match.
Digital Display & Clear, Word-Based Error Codes for Hassle-Free
Diagnostics
The Promax+ is equipped with a modern, easy-to-read digital display that puts clear, real-time information right at your fingertips. From setup to everyday operation, installers can navigate settings and adjustments with confidence and simplicity.
Troubleshooting shouldn’t slow you down. Unlike most panels on the market that rely on complicated numerical error codes, forcing engineers to constantly refer back to manuals, the Promax+ panel uses clear, word-based fault messages that are easy to understand at a glance.
This simple yet powerful feature allows installers and service engineers to quickly identify and resolve issues without guesswork or wasted time.
Whether it’s during commissioning or a future service visit, the Promax+ makes fault finding faster and more intuitive, reducing downtime and eliminating frustration. It’s just another way the Promax+ puts installers in control and keeps projects running smoothly.
Personalised Panel Branding for Greater Ownership and Customer Connection
While strength and reliability are critical, branding and appearance also play a big role in making a lasting impression. The Promax+ panel is the only industrial door panel on the market that can be fully personalised to reflect your company’s brand identity.
Installers have the flexibility to display their company name directly on the panel’s digital display, reinforcing their brand at every job site. You can also include your company contact details, such as your phone number, so end users always know exactly who to call for support or assistance.
This unique feature gives installers greater ownership over each project, builds stronger customer loyalty, and ensures your brand stays front and centre long after the installation is complete.
More Functionality. More Control. Only with the Promax+
The Promax+ isn’t just another industrial door panel — it’s a smarter, more advanced solution designed to make installers’ lives easier and deliver top performance on every project.
With more built-in functionality than any other panel on the market, the Promax+ empowers engineers to work faster, solve problems effortlessly, and offer customers a future-ready system with full brand personalisation.
Choose Promax+ to get more flexibility, more reliability, and more control — all in one panel.
