Finding the Correct Remote For Your Marantec Garage Door Opener

It happens all the time - you purchase a new house and the previous owner doesn't leave any remotes to the garage door opener. Or you've lost the remote to your Marantec operator but don't have a manual to see what remote is compatible. Or maybe you have a remote but it's so worn you can't even tell what model it is anymore.

We've got some answers to help you figure it out. Read our latest post on our Support Manuals site - Helpful Tips and Information section where we go over a couple of easy ways to determine if the latest available Marantec remote will work with your opener or what your options are if your remote has been discontinued.

It doesn't matter if you have a 20 year old Marantec Mac-Lift III opener or a two year old Synergy 260 opener the "How To Find The Correct Marantec Garage Door Opener Remote" post should help you find what you need to get your opener back to working with a garage door remote again.

Marantec Q7500 and Q7700 - Programming Garage Door Opener Remote

Below are instructions on programming a garage door remote to the Marantec model Q7500 and model Q7700 operators. You'll only use the instructions below if you don't have any remotes programmed to the operator. The Marantec operators can only hold the code of one remote. Additional remotes copy the code of the one programmed remote so if you are looking to program additional remotes check out the blog post Programming Marantec Remote Video here. However, what do you do if you don't have an existing remote (perhaps you lost it or you just moved into the home and they didn't leave you a remote). Here's a rundown on how to program a new remote by using the buttons on the powerhead (motor) unit on the ceiling.

Here is what the programming buttons look like on the powerhead that you will use to program the remote:

Program the remote into the opener powerhead by using the "+", "-", and "P" buttons on the powerhead. Here is a rundown on how to program the remote using the buttons on the powerhead unit on the ceiling. You should see 3 red buttons:  "+"button / "-"button / "P" button. There are also 4 numbered red LED lights.

TO PROGRAM A REMOTE (or make/change any adjustment):

 
Press and hold the "P" button for approximately 2 seconds. When
all LEDs illuminate and LED #1 begins to blink, release the button.
You are now ready to set or change the desired adjustment.

Press and release the "P" button until the #3 LED is blinking

The opener can now learn the code of the hand-held transmitter. 
While LED#3 is blinking, press and hold the button on the transmitter.

When you see LED #3 flashing rapidly, you can release the transmitter button. The
opener has now learned the particular code of this transmitter.

Once the opener has successfully received the code from the
transmitter, press and release the "P" button. This stores the
code in memory. It also completes the adjustment setting
sequence, and completes the program process. The LEDs will
automatically fade out in a circular pattern, which indicates that
the program mode is complete.
LED #4 should now be illuminated, and the opener is ready for
operation.

 And that's how you program a remote to either the Marantec Q7500 or Q7700 operator. Remember if  you need to program additional remotes you can see the video on how to use the programming jumper here.
