Rolling code technology and a learn button on the garage door opener motor are used by the majority of typical garage door remote controls nowadays. The learn button enables you to reset the device and delete the code so that your car’s buttons and remotes will open the door. Because the code on the transmitter varies every time you use it, rolling codes offer security. When you need to open your door again, the system transmits a fresh code to your receiver.
DIP switches connected to the circuit board of older garage door openers, or those created before 1993, are used to connect the remote control to the opener. The transmitter and receiver of each unit contain 8 to 12 tiny switches that are each programmed with a different code. The remote unlocks the garage door after synchronization. The system was developed to fill the security gap left by the first generation of electric garage door openers, which could have opened both your garage door and the garage doors of many of your neighbors with a single signal.
With up to 1 million possible codes, rolling code technology offers greater security, although a garage door opener with 12 DIP switches does allow for more than 4,000 variations. The code sent by a transmitter can, unfortunately, be read by basic radio scanners. The DIP switches must be changed if a new owner is using this outdated technology.
