What Marantec Remote Do I Need?

We get asked this question a lot - "Which remote do I need for my Marantec electric operator?"

The easiest way to determine which remote you need is to look on the back side of an existing remote. You should see the frequency printed on the remote, for example: 315MHz. If you don't have a remote (you lost it or you just moved into a new home) you can find the frequency by looking at the radio receiver. Here's a picture of the 315MHz Marantec module receiver:

This receiver plugs in to the power head unit on the ceiling and the antenna wire hangs down. You'll probably have to get a ladder to climb up to the unit an pull the receiver out. The MHz should be printed on the back side. Make sure your plug the receiver back in after you write down the MHz frequency.

Now - if you have a 315MHz radio receiver or remote then any of the following remotes will work with your opener: M3-2312 2-button remote, M3-3313 3-button remote, M3-2314 4-button remote or M13-631 keyless entry.

If you have a 433.92MHz receiver or remote then the M3-2342 2-button remote will work for you.

Finally, if the frequency is either 40MHz or 390MHz you are out of luck. Marantec no longer manufactures replacement remotes in either of these frequencies. HOWEVER, don't give up yet. We have a solution. You can add a #75424 Marantec Plug-in Receiver Set to your existing opener. The set comes with a new radio receiver, one remote and installation instructions.

Run two wires from the plug-in receiver to the back of the power head unit, program the remote and you're good to go!
