Presentation of the Marantec Digital 506-868 Remote Control

This Marantec gate and garage door remote control is a 10-channel transmitter designed in the form of a remote control. It features a Rolling code function: this function protects your system from hacking or unauthorized access. Thanks to the rolling code system, a reduction in thefts and break-ins has been observed among users of motorization systems with the Rolling code function. Additionally, with the Marantec Digital 506-868 remote control, you will have the ability to control up to 10 automations in your home or residence, which is quite significant if you have many automations. You can operate these automations from over 35m in open fields, allowing you to control your gates and garage doors from your vehicle, garden, or street.

How to Maintain the Maximum Range of Your Marantec Digital 506-868 Remote Control

The Marantec Digital 506-868 remote control has an approximate range of 35m in open fields. However, this range can be affected by the presence of a steel or concrete wall, or by the presence of a tree: these obstacles can limit the range or even completely disrupt the signal. If you want to optimize the range, you can equip yourself with a bi-linked antenna operating at the same frequency as your accessories: if you choose the Marantec Digital 506-868 remote control, you will need an antenna operating at 868.300 MHz. The bi-linked antenna can help optimize the radio signal between your transmitter and receiver.

Features of the Marantec Digital 506-868 Remote Control: the Bi-Linked System

The bi-linked system has become the new radio standard of Marantec: it guarantees more security through encrypted radio transmission. This radio standard improves communication between the transmitter and receiver through bi-directional transmission paths. Additionally, new bi-linked accessories have emerged since the creation of the bi-linked system, allowing for the design of new, safer, and more reliable control systems. These control systems now rely on LED displays, which will allow you to know the status of your motorized doors in real-time.

The Marantec Digital 506-868 remote control operates at a frequency of 868.300 MHz. Its coding is based on the principle of Rolling code, which is a well-known security system for its protection against forced entry attempts. This remote control is larger than a typical gate remote, but it offers many additional features, including the ability to pair with up to 10 automations. The Marantec Digital 506-868 remote control is available in gray.

The dimensions of the Marantec Digital 506-868 remote control are approximately 110 x 38 x 14 mm.
