my Liftmaster LA400 gate opener that is 24 v powered, no 120 v outlet w/i 50 ft of the controller. Will the repeater work placed there?

Jim, No. The 855LM needs to be within 3 feet of the opener's receiver. For good reason. It sends out a weak signal, comparable to what is received, just translated to the new security code. I understand your problem, the repeater ("compatibility bridge") plugs directly into a three-prong outlet. You, or your installer, probably ran a 24v wire from the power supply to the opener for safety reasons. One solution is to install a small 110v inverter powered by your 24v source. Another is to buy a new car. I mention the second while clenching teeth, considering how well Chamberlain hid this important issue (in their manuals, product packaging and website) from purchasers.

It should. The inverter is pretty robust, and a momentary surge into 1100-1200w should be fine. However, being that you are paying for a pure sine-wave inverter, rather than a much cheaper modified sine-wave, I would be sure that the simple on/off motor really is going to benefit from the clean AC power. I use modified wave inverters on plain simple motors (skil-saws), but electronically controlled, variable, clock timed devices, as well as all electronics get the better juice. The other consideration is that certain times, modified sine-wave inverters can shorten the life span of an electric motor. Might do a search on that subject, concerning motors in garage door openers. I tend to think these motors are just fine with modified sine-wave.

It is possible, but you will want to check with Chamberlain first to see if it requires a repeater kit. In 2007 they introduced a new security scheme, and Homelink provided compatible equipment, but not all car manufacturers started using it right away. In fact, as late as 2011 some car makers were still using the old Homelink technology that would not work with the new Chamberlain stuff "out of the box". So you will want to confirm with both Chamberlain and Chevrolet if your year and model car will be able to transmit the new codes. If not, there is an add-on repeater that will receive your Homelink signal and translate it to the new Chamberlain security codes, but it is about $50 retail itself. However, this unit IS what you would be looking for to attach to your gate opener to receive signals from your Homelink or a remote. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer, but there are a lot of variables. May be better to buy one locally that you can return easily if you cannot get your Homelink to work with it.

One thing to keep in mind is that this unit needs a power source. I had to also buy the "LINEAR 109201 LINEAR POWER SUPPLY F/302101". This works for all automatic garage door openers and gates. You simply follow the directions. This unit mounts to the 3 screw power source, then you hook up the power and ground from the opener itself. Done. I hooked this up to my neighbors very old 1960's door opener a year ago and it still works perfectly.

I agree with the others, I don't think it is the same. I guess you need 2 connectors to "feed" the 24 volts to the electronic of the receiver and a third connector to send the signal to the controls of the opener motor when the receiver is activated. Mike

Yes there is a manual that has all the options for assembly. The Gate opener works on either 24 volt DC supply or 120 volt AC supply for power. As you ask it does not need to work with electric power, a 24 volt battery will supply adequate power to operate but the battery has to be recharged via a suitable charger delivering 24 vdc. A solar power supply 24 volts is suitable for power source.

It should be. You'll need a two or three Button remote though and program it with your gate and your garage opener.

Answer is yes. But be very carefully. Your remote if it is 310 Hz. You have to buy the new remote that support 315 hz. Otherwise it will not work. I upgraded my chamberline to the LiftMaster Security but I need to buy new remote. Not only that get the Gateway and put a camera in the garage so you can monitor if it is open or not. From there if you know it is open. You can close it from your smartphone or from myliftmaster.com web site. Hope that help

Yes the solar panel was separate, however any 12v panel will work, It has a regulator built-in so you only need the solar panel. It will work for any 12v gate opener. They are available quite cheaply from other sources, depending on your useage the size should be at least 5 or 10 watt $20-35.00

The repeater (the part with the antenna) needs to be plugged in at all times. The hand held remote needs to be saved in case you need to program another garage door opener.

Check the manufacture's web site at http://www.sommer-usa.com/fittings_garage_door_opener_s/1818.htmSince the power head is in the direct drive that opens & closes the door, extensions would seem to work. I image you would need to ensure the door is properly balanced.

If the opener (drive head) itself is currently lifting a one piece door and you have determined that this remote is compatible with the drive head of your garage door opener then it should work.

No sure what your asking. I have a Chamberlain Whisper Belt drive opener. I consider it an overhead model and it works fine.

Yes. It will work with Liftmaster. You will need to direct wire the remote so be prepared to drill a hole through the exterior to make the connection. Works great once installed.

I looked in the Liftmaster owners manual ( which you can find online) and found that the remote model 970LM is an accessory. The Amazon description says this model is a replacement for the 970LM, so it should work. I didn't have any problem programming it and it still works perfectly.

Yes it will. You connect the butler to your existing garage door opener controller. I watched the youTube video (http://www.garagebutler.com/support/installation-instructions/) a couple of times on installation while reading the instruction book. That clarified the instructionsfor me.

Contact the liftmaster customer support. I don't know the answer to that question. Sorry
