LiftMaster 893MAX 3-Button Visor Remote Control – Security+ 2.0 / Multi-Frequency

Control up to three compatible LiftMaster garage door openers, gate operators, or myQ lighting accessories with the LiftMaster 893MAX 3-Button Visor Remote Control.

The 893MAX is LiftMaster's versatile MAX-series remote, designed to work with multiple generations of LiftMaster radio technology. It is a strong replacement choice for many older LiftMaster remotes while also supporting newer Security+ 2.0 opener systems.

Specifications

One Remote for Up to Three Devices

Each of the three buttons can be programmed independently.

That allows one remote to operate combinations such as:

• Garage Door #1

• Garage Door #2

• Garage Door #3

or:

• Garage door opener

• Compatible gate operator

• Compatible myQ remote light

This makes the 893MAX particularly useful for homes, garages, shops, and properties with multiple LiftMaster-controlled entrances.

Compatible With Multiple LiftMaster Generations

One of the biggest advantages of the 893MAX is its broad compatibility.

LiftMaster specifies compatibility with garage door openers manufactured since January 1993.

Supported code technologies include:

• Billion Code 390 MHz

• Security+ 390 MHz

• Security+ 315 MHz

• Security+ 2.0

This allows the 893MAX to replace many older single- and multi-button LiftMaster remotes without requiring a separate remote for each radio generation.

Learn Button Compatibility

The 893MAX works with LiftMaster opener receivers using the following Learn button colors:

• Green

• Orange / Red

• Purple

• Yellow

The Learn button is generally located on the garage door opener motor head near the antenna wire or logic-board area.

Identifying the Learn button color is one of the easiest ways to confirm remote compatibility.

Security+ 2.0 Technology

On compatible newer LiftMaster systems, the 893MAX uses Security+ 2.0 rolling-code technology.

Each remote transmission uses secure coding designed to help prevent unauthorized duplication or replay of the access signal.

For older compatible LiftMaster systems, the remote can also operate using their corresponding earlier radio protocols.

Compatible Replacement for Many Older Remotes

The 893MAX is commonly selected when replacing older LiftMaster remotes because it covers multiple radio generations in one device.

It can be an appropriate replacement for many older remotes from families such as:

• LiftMaster 81LM

• 82LM

• 83LM

• 91LM

• 92LM

• 93LM

• 971LM

• 972LM

• 973LM

• 371LM

• 372LM

• 373LM

Compatibility should still be confirmed using the opener's Learn button color or model number before ordering.

893MAX vs. 373LM

The older 373LM is a 3-button Security+ remote designed specifically around 315 MHz / purple Learn button systems.

The 893MAX is much broader.

It can work with:

• Purple Learn button systems

• Green Learn button systems

• Red / Orange Learn button systems

• Newer Yellow Learn button Security+ 2.0 systems

For many replacement situations, this makes the 893MAX the more flexible choice.

Visor Clip Included

The remote includes a visor clip for convenient mounting inside a vehicle.

Attach it to the sun visor for quick access when entering or leaving the garage.

Programming

Programming depends on the opener generation.

Typical programming involves:

1. Locate the Learn button on the garage door opener.

2. Identify the Learn button color.

3. Put the 893MAX into the correct programming mode.

4. Select the remote button you want to use.

5. Press the opener's Learn button.

6. Complete the remote programming sequence.

7. Test operation.

Because the 893MAX works with several generations of LiftMaster technology, the exact sequence varies depending on the opener.

Follow the 893MAX instructions for your specific Learn button color.

Typical Operating Range

LiftMaster states that typical remote operation can reach approximately three car lengths, although actual range depends on installation conditions and radio interference.

Factors that can reduce range include:

• LED bulb interference

• Metal buildings

• Electrical interference

• Weak remote battery

• Damaged opener antenna

• Nearby radio equipment

Battery Replacement

The remote is battery powered.

When the remote's LED response becomes weak or stops flashing normally, the battery may need replacement.

Replace the battery with the correct type and observe polarity when installing it.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Before purchasing, verify at least one of the following:

• LiftMaster opener model

• Learn button color

• Existing remote model

• Receiver model

• Radio/security technology

The 893MAX has very broad LiftMaster compatibility, but it should not be assumed compatible with unrelated garage-door-opener brands simply because they use a similar frequency.
