Marantec remotes come from the manufacturer with 2,3 or 4 button options. Each button comes with its own random code. If you buy an extra remote that didn’t come with the opener unit you already have in your garage, the new remote will have to be programmed to match the remotes you already have. Also if you lost or broke your original remote you will have to follow same procedure.

Code new remote for your opener

To code new remotes you will need a programming connector or cable if you don’t have one or lost it you can get one from the Marantec website for about $1.00 and sometimes come with new remotes when purchased. Marantec openers have a

programing cable attached to the unit. it just plugs in to a small slot on the side of the remotes and press the button and when LED light flashes its ready to go. If you have multiple remotes or need to add a remote than use programming connector that connects the 2 remotes to each other and press active coded button then press desired button on new remote and when LED light flashes the 2 buttons are coded.

Remote control and the opener unit

If you can’t get any remotes to code to your opener unit than most likely your receiving board has gone bad usually caused by power surges. These receiver boards are easy to replace because they are not built inside the unit they just plug into the top of unit and are easily identified easily because the is a small antenna wire sticking out of the part that just pops out of the top.

The way to know if the receiver board is bad is none of the buttons on remotes, keyless pads or wall controls will not activate opener.

If you don’t feel comfortable changing out a receiver board than call a professional and dont forget to ask them if they specialize in Marantec products because not all technicians are familiar with Marantec because they are relatively new to the market compared to the other garage door opener manufacturers.
