External radio receivers let you add modern remotes and keypads to an existing garage door opener—even if the original receiver is incompatible, discontinued, or has failed. They mount near the opener and connect to the same low-voltage terminals as your wall button, restoring convenient, secure remote control.
When to use an add-on receiver:
In most cases yes. Add-on receivers connect to the wall-button terminals and provide their own remote/keypad learning. Always confirm the receiver’s wiring and voltage requirements match your opener.
No. An external receiver does not replace safety sensors. Your opener must have functional photo eyes for safe operation.
Yes. An add-on receiver can coexist with working remotes. You can program new remotes/keypads to the external receiver while old ones continue to use the original receiver.
Mount the receiver near the opener, supply power per the instructions, and connect two low-voltage wires to the opener’s wall-button terminals. Then program remotes/keypads to the new receiver.
Often, yes—especially if the new receiver uses a fresh antenna and lives away from interference. Actual range depends on environment and local RF noise.
