Genuine Code Ezy Remote to suit Merlin

About the Genuine Code Ezy Remote to suit Merlin

The reason to read the compatibility list closely rather than glance at it is a pair of names that Merlin used on its own equipment and that are almost impossible to tell apart in a roof space. This listing is published against the M230T and the M430R, both of which are Prolift units. A different family of Merlin handsets, the blue button ones, is published against the Powerlift 2500 and the Powerlift 2600P, and in our range that is the Merlin M2100 Compatible Remote. Prolift and Powerlift. Same manufacturer, same kind of motor, one letter apart in print, and no handset in this catalogue covers both.

They also sit on opposite sides of a real dividing line. Everything on this green button listing is ruled out on Merlin motors built before July 2001, and the blue button family is ruled out on everything after it. Why that date exists and what changed at it is covered on the Merlin Compatible Remote (M842/M844) listing. What matters when you are standing under the motor with a torch is only that you read the whole word off the plate before you order.

The openers named here are the M230T Prolift and the M430R Prolift, and the M832, M842 and M844 green remotes. Three exclusions go with them: a blue Merlin remote is a different system, a Merlin+ or Merlin+ 2.0 unit is a later one, and any Merlin motor predating July 2001 is out.

The handset itself is a slim pocket case with an indicator light, and it holds four openings. The 23A cell arrives seated, its compartment is closed with a screw rather than a clip, and a coding sheet goes in the carton with a key ring. Its supplier publishes no case measurements and no transmitter frequency, so we state neither.

This handset was built by neither Merlin nor us. It is not manufactured, authorised, endorsed or approved by Merlin.

Merlin used the Prolift name on equipment sold across the years either side of that 2001 boundary, so the name on its own has never settled anything. The model code has. If the plate reads M230T or M430R you are on this page, and if it reads 2500 or 2600P you are two clicks away on the wrong one.
