{"product_id":"liftmaster-k76-34697","title":"LiftMaster K76-34697 24V APS Encoder Assembly — CSL24UL Service Part","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe LiftMaster K76-34697 is a 24V APS encoder assembly identified in the CSL24UL slide-gate operator’s repair-parts documentation. It provides position feedback within the operator’s travel-control system and must be matched to the exact equipment configuration. This is a service component, not a replacement motor or complete control board. Keep the full part number visible when ordering: the similar K76-34697-3 is a separately identified 12V encoder-with-harness reference and should not be treated as the same item.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility — Models, Versions and Exclusions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel or selection point\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility requirement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCSL24UL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer repair-parts page lists K76-34697 as the 24V APS encoder.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOther CSL24 or overhead operator revisions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfirm the complete service reference in the model-specific manual; family resemblance alone is insufficient.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK1A6408 APE assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeparately listed in the same repair diagram; confirm the required kit scope rather than assuming identical contents.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK76-34697-3 and K76-34644\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifferent encoder references; do not substitute by similar name or approximate appearance.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiagnose Position Feedback Before Replacing the Encoder\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA travel-position fault can involve the encoder, its connection, wiring or the mechanism that drives it. Have the technician inspect the system and record the diagnostic information before choosing a part. An encoder replacement does not correct a binding gate, damaged drive component or an intermittent harness connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare the original assembly with the applicable repair drawing, including its mounting and connector arrangement. The CSL24UL documentation separately identifies the APS encoder and an APE assembly, so the name encoder by itself is not enough to define the kit needed. Ask the installer which complete part reference and supplied components are required for the diagnosed repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications and Product Identification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK76-34697\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComponent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAPS encoder assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublished designation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDocumented operator example\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCSL24UL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition feedback in the operator’s travel system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifferent service reference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK76-34697-3: 12V encoder with harness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelection basis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExact operator parts diagram and installed assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBefore Ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord the full operator model and the original encoder label.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify K76-34697 in the correct service diagram.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the harness, connectors and mechanical drive for damage or looseness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm whether the repair needs the encoder assembly or a different documented kit and associated hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePackage Contents and Separate Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing identifies the K76-34697 encoder assembly.
