LiftMaster Remote Access Technology Compatibility Chart

Gate opener systems, paired with remote and keyless access controls, are essential for enhancing security and convenience in residential and commercial settings. These systems eliminate the need for manual gate operation, offering automated solutions that simplify property access. For homeowners, they provide peace of mind by ensuring that only authorized individuals can enter. Businesses, on the other hand, benefit from efficient access management, particularly in high-traffic areas. Devices like remote controls and wireless keypads further enhance usability, allowing gates to be operated with a button press or secure code entry.

LiftMaster, a leading name in gate opener systems, has revolutionized access control by incorporating cutting-edge technologies into their products. Features like Security+ 2.0 encryption ensure each remote or keypad interaction generates a unique code, effectively preventing unauthorized access. Versatile devices like the 890MAX remote and the KPW250 Wireless Commercial Keypad cater to a variety of needs, from private driveways to industrial facilities. By combining innovation with reliability, LiftMaster provides secure and convenient access control solutions for diverse applications.

How Do Gate Opener Systems and Transmitters Communicate?

A transmitter sends a radio frequency signal with an encoded message to the gate opener's receiver. The receiver processes this signal, verifies its authenticity based on the supported technology, and activates the motor to open or close the gate. This process ensures compatibility, security, and reliability between the transmitter and gate opener system. Learn more about the various receiver-transmitter technology integrated into LiftMaster gate openers below.

Understanding LiftMaster Transmitter-Compatible Technologies

DIP Capable

DIP-capable technology uses physical DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches to set binary codes for communication. Users manually adjust the switches on both the transmitter and receiver to create a matching code. When the transmitter sends this fixed code, the gate opener verifies it and activates the system if the codes match.

Billion Code

Billion Code technology enhances security by using rolling code encryption, which generates a new unique code with every use. This prevents unauthorized duplication. The transmitter sends the rolling code to the receiver, which matches it using an algorithm, ensuring secure and reliable operation.

Security+ (390 MHz)

This system uses rolling code encryption at a 390 MHz frequency to prevent replay attacks. The transmitter communicates securely with the gate opener, and the receiver validates the rolling code to grant access.

Security+ (315 MHz)

Operating at 315 MHz, this version of Security+ offers rolling code encryption while reducing signal interference. It is ideal for crowded areas, ensuring secure and reliable gate operation.

Security+ 2.0 (310, 315, and 390 MHz)

Security+ 2.0 operates across multiple frequencies - 310 MHz, 315 MHz, and 390 MHz - ensuring enhanced reliability and security. The transmitter sends encrypted signals on all three frequencies, and the receiver locks onto the strongest signal, verifying the rolling code for secure operation.

Security+ 2.0 (315 MHz)

This version of Security+ 2.0 operates specifically on the 315 MHz frequency. It combines advanced rolling code encryption with multi-frequency transmission to ensure secure and interference-resistant operation.

LiftMaster Gate Opener Technology Compatibility

All currently available LiftMaster Gate Openers (swing, slide, barrier, and overhead gate/door openers) operate with Security+ 2.0 (310, 315, and 390 MHz) because its multi-frequency technology enhances compatibility, reliability, and security. So, why does LiftMaster offer transmitters compatible with other technologies? Well, LiftMaster transmitters are compatible with multiple technologies, including older systems like DIP switches and Billion Code, to ensure versatility and backward compatibility. This design allows users with legacy gate openers to continue using their systems while benefiting from modern features. Additionally, multi-technology transmitters are ideal for properties with a mix of older and newer systems, enabling seamless operation across devices. Universal remotes, such as the 892LT and 894LT, further enhance convenience by supporting older standards like Security+ (315 MHz) alongside modern Security+ 2.0 systems. This flexibility ensures LiftMaster products cater to a wide range of customer needs, from legacy setups to state-of-the-art systems.

Always check what technology your gate opener operates with before purchasing a transmitter. You can check your owner's manual or contact our helpful Sales Team if you are unsure.
