Genuine Nice Apollo 1050I universal control board — the LCD-programmed smart board that runs the current Apollo swing and slide gate operators, and the replacement for the older 850 board. It handles single or dual operators (primary/secondary), AC or solar power, and a plug-in Nice receiver for up to 1,000 rolling-code transmitters.
1050I or 1050US? The 1050I is the international version. The 1050US is the UL325 (2018) version for new installations in the US, with the monitored entrapment-device inputs. For a UL325-compliant site, order the 1050US. For a like-for-like swap on an operator already running a 1050I, this is the board.

Older 7200 operators. The 1050 board runs the earlier 7200 but does not mount in its original box, and a 40BS13 sprocket is needed. Send us the operator’s serial number before ordering for one of those.
Is the board actually the problem?
| Symptom | Check first |
|---|---|
| Board dead, no display | Battery voltage first, then the transformer or solar output at the board — the built-in voltmeter on a live board will show which is low |
| Gate runs slowly, stops partway, or only in daylight on a solar site | The battery, then panel output |
| Display shows an error code | Look the code up in the 1050 manual before ordering — most codes point at a photocell, loop or limit, not the board |
| Photocells fail their test | Bluebus wiring and alignment, not the board |
| Remotes do nothing, the buttons on the board work | The plug-in receiver, then the remotes |
| Failed after a storm | Surge damage — the board, and check the receiver at the same time |
After fitting
The new board arrives unprogrammed. Set the gate length, direction, limits, force and auto-close, relearn the transmitters into the receiver, and run the Bluebus photocell learn before returning the gate to service.
Fit surge protection at the same time. Storm damage is a leading cause of gate operator board failure. If this board died after a storm, the replacement is at the same risk unless the installation is protected.
