Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if the Merlin M842RS is the right replacement for my opener?
The Merlin M842 is compatible with Merlin openers manufactured between 2001 and 2007 with a green button, specifically models 430R and 230T. It also works as a replacement for Merlin M832 and M844 remotes, as well as openers with Merlin’s code hopping receivers see list above for compatibility.

Are all Merlin remotes compatible?

Not all Merlin remotes are compatible across all models, as Merlin has updated its technology over the years to improve functionality, security, and compatibility with newer models. The Merlin M842 remote, for example, is specifically designed for certain models and won’t work universally with every Merlin motor. To ensure compatibility, customers should double-check that their garage or gate motor model aligns with the M842 remote specifications before purchasing. This way, they can avoid compatibility issues and enjoy seamless operation with their system.

Can I use the Merlin M842 for both my garage door and gate?
Yes, the Merlin M842 can control up to two devices. You can program one button for your garage door and the other for a gate opener, providing you have compatible Merlin receiver on your gate.

How do I replace the battery in the Merlin M842 Remote?

1. Use a screwdriver to remove the small screw from the battery cover
2. Use a screwdriver or coin to carefully open the battery cover.
3. Remove the old battery (CR2032 coin cell) and insert a new one, positive side up.
4. Replace the battery cover and secure with the screw.

Is there a wall bracket included with the Merlin M842?
Yes, the Merlin M842 comes with a removable wall bracket clip. This allows for convenient storage on a wall if desired, but the clip can be removed for keyring use.
