Merlin+ 2.0 E945/E945M Genuine Remote

The Merlin+ 2.0 E945/E945M Genuine Remote is Merlin's three channel mini handset for the Merlin+ 2.0 generation, the shape everybody calls the bear claw. If you are replacing a small black remote with green buttons and a curved back that sits in the palm, this is almost certainly it.

About the Merlin+ 2.0 E945/E945M Genuine Remote

The name is worth explaining because it is what people search for and nobody sells it under that name. The case is short and rounded with the buttons set into a scooped face, so it sits in a closed hand the way a claw does rather than lying flat like a slim key ring remote. It measures 3.68 cm across, 6.02 cm long and 1.28 cm deep. It is the shortest handset in the Merlin range and the one most likely to survive a year in a coat pocket.

Three channels means three openings, so a garage door and a gate with one spare, or two doors and a gate. That is a different trade from the slim two door remotes on one side and the four button units on the other, and for most houses three is the number that actually gets used.

The check to make before ordering is printed on the front of your existing remote. It must read Merlin+ 2.0. It is worth being firm about this one, because the older Merlin+ C945 is the same shell in the same colours with the same dimensions, and the two cannot be told apart by looking at them. Read the label rather than matching the photograph.

It suits the CR625EVO, CR655MYQ, CS60EVO and CS100EVO, the MJ3800MYQ, MS65MYQ, MS105MYQ, MS125MYQ and MT110MYQ, the MR550EVO, MR650EVO, MR655EVO, MR655MYQ, MR850EVO, MR855EVO, MR855MYQ and MRC950EVO, the MT50EVO, MT60EVO, MT100EVO, MT120EVOPS and MT3850EVO, and the Steel-Line ST50EVOB, ST50EVOB1 and ST50EVOC. It codes alongside the E943, E945 and E950M handsets.

Transmission is AM with rolling code, so a new code goes out on every press. A CR2032 comes fitted and the cover over it needs a tool.

A small warning that applies to this shape more than any other. A short rounded case with no lanyard hole is the easiest remote in the range to put down on a workbench and lose. If it is going to live anywhere other than a vehicle, give it a hook by the door on the day it arrives.

Not sure the Merlin+ 2.0 E945/E945M Genuine Remote is the right part?

Buying the wrong remote is the most common mistake we see, and it is almost always avoidable with one photograph. Send a clear shot of the front and the back of your existing unit, plus one of the motor if you can reach it safely, to service@allgate.com.au and our team will tell you exactly which part suits your opener. If you would rather talk it through, our domestic line is 1300 736 683, Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm. Commercial and strata customers can reach a technician on 1300 655 600 at any hour, on any day.

You can also search the catalogue by the model number printed on your existing handset, which is the fastest way to find the match yourself.
