Liftmaster 877 Manual⁚ Overview

This manual provides an overview of the Liftmaster 877MAX wireless keyless entry system, designed for use with Liftmaster, Chamberlain, and Sears Craftsman garage door openers manufactured after January 1993; It will cover compatibility, programming, installation, features, maintenance, and warranty of the device. The 877MAX offers a convenient way to access your garage without a remote or key.

Liftmaster 877MAX Compatibility

The Liftmaster 877MAX wireless keypad is designed for broad compatibility, working seamlessly with all Liftmaster, Chamberlain, and Sears Craftsman garage door openers produced since January 1993. These openers must operate on either 315 MHz or 390 MHz frequencies for the 877MAX to function correctly. It’s important to note that some older Raynor openers, specifically the Flitestar and R-Series, may also be compatible. However, it’s recommended to confirm compatibility with these models by emailing customer support. This ensures that the opener has the necessary radio equipment to communicate with the 877MAX. The 877MAX is not only for garage doors, it also works with other gate openers that use the same radio frequencies. The system is versatile and allows users to control various access points with a single device. Always refer to your opener’s manual to confirm the location of the ‘Learn’ button, which is essential for programming the keypad.

Liftmaster 877MAX Programming

Programming the Liftmaster 877MAX involves setting up an initial personal identification number (PIN) and the option to create temporary PINs. These processes ensure secure, keyless access to your garage or gate, with easy steps.

Initial PIN Programming

To begin using your Liftmaster 877MAX, you must first program an initial four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). This PIN will be your primary code for accessing your garage. Begin by locating the “learn” button on your garage door opener motor. Press and release this button. Within 30 seconds, enter your desired four-digit PIN on the 877MAX keypad, then press the “enter” button. The garage door opener light will flash to confirm that the code has been successfully programmed. If you are programming to more than one opener, repeat these steps for each opener you wish to control with the initial PIN. Ensure your garage door opener has a working light bulb, as it is a visual indicator during the programming process. This initial PIN will allow you regular access to your garage, and it is important to choose a code that is easy for you to remember yet difficult for others to guess. After successfully setting your initial PIN, test it by entering the four-digit code followed by the enter button to ensure the garage door opens as expected.

Temporary PIN Programming

The Liftmaster 877MAX also allows for programming a temporary PIN, which is ideal for granting limited access to visitors or service personnel. To program a temporary PIN, you must first have an initial PIN set. Begin by pressing the * key, followed by your initial four-digit PIN, then press the # key. Next, enter the temporary four-digit PIN you wish to use, and then press the # key again. This temporary PIN will now work to open your garage door. A temporary PIN will work one time, and will expire when used. If you need to give access to more than one person at a time, then you will need to program multiple temporary pins. You can program multiple temporary pins if needed. Keep in mind that the temporary PIN will only be valid for one use, enhancing security. This feature allows you to control who has access to your garage without compromising your main PIN.

Liftmaster 877MAX Installation

Before installing the Liftmaster 877MAX, ensure a working light bulb in the garage opener. Install the battery and program the keypad. The Keyless Entry should be within sight of the door.
