Know before you buy
This kit is specifically designed for use with LiftMaster 312HM, 412HM, 422LM, 423LM, and STAR450 receivers. It is compatible with Security+ systems operating on 315 MHz or 390 MHz frequencies.
An external antenna is primarily used to overcome signal interference caused by metal structures, such as steel buildings, which can block or weaken remote signals. By relocating the antenna, you can significantly improve reception and extend your remote operation range.
The kit includes a 25-foot cable, which allows you to mount the antenna in a more favorable location away from the receiver. This extra length is helpful for moving the antenna outside of a metal enclosure or to a higher point for a clearer line of sight.
The kit is straightforward to install and includes a dedicated mounting bracket and all necessary hardware. You will simply need to mount the bracket in your desired location and route the 25-foot cable back to your compatible receiver.
