Linear MDR radio receiver

MDR identifies a radio receiver. The cited source supports only the exact facts and relationships shown; other equipment pairings remain unverified.

Match the whole number.

Manufacturer identifier: MDR. Keep every character when comparing it with your label or paperwork. A similar number does not establish the same component.

Values apply to the exact identifier and scope in the cited source.

Documented fitment & exclusions

Read the exact equipment or component, market, production and variant limits in every row. An omitted pairing has not been verified by this reference.

A component pairing applies only to the listed items and source conditions. It does not establish suitability for an installed opener or compatibility through another component.

Source statements and their exact conditions. Read the documented direction and conditions for each pairing.

Documented compatibility

From MDTK to MDR.

Conditional

MDTK is documented for MDR in MegaCode radio-control use. Keypad enrollment into the four named radio receivers only; no downstream operator fitment. Channel two is stated for MDR-2 only. The receiver must be installed and its keypad code enrolled according to the exact equipment instructions. No downstream opener model compatibility is inferred. Code enrollment and installation follow the exact equipment instructions; this does not verify an installed system.

    Use the exact label and the source scope below. An unanswered condition keeps this result conditional or unverified.

    MDR/U is documented as replacing MDR within the receiver/input/power scope shown.

    Applies only within this source scope
    • Market: US
    • operator-input: normally-open dry-contact pushbutton input
    • receiver-power: 110 VAC +/- 10%, 60 Hz
    • Replacement concerns the external radio receiver arrangement described by the source; it does not identify every operator model as compatible.
    • MDR/U supplies its own mains-powered receiver instead of the MDR arrangement with an external transformer. Exact equipment input and electrical suitability need confirmation.
    • Source manual 220675 A uses both 120 VAC and 110 VAC wording. The electrical condition preserves the literature's 110 VAC +/-10%, 60 Hz rating; check the unit label and qualified installation requirements.
    • No reverse interchangeability, automatic replacement chain, or receiver-disabling procedure is asserted.

A direct replacement statement does not establish reverse interchangeability, a kit equivalent or a later replacement chain.

The listed pairing applies in the direction shown above. Open the listed component’s reference to check its pairing with this item. You can also look up another part or accessory. A missing pairing does not establish incompatibility.
