The Liftmaster 886LM Motion Detecting Control Wall Panel is an advanced Replacement Component designed to upgrade your residential or light commercial Access Control system. As a certified OEM Gate Part, this premium wired console is engineered exclusively for Security+ 2.0® openers, delivering hands-free lighting and highly reliable garage door operation in a single, streamlined interface.
Designed to bridge the gap between user convenience and robust functionality, the 886LM panel automatically illuminates your space the moment you step into the garage. It offers a significant upgrade over standard push-buttons by integrating passive infrared (PIR) motion-sensing technology, security lockouts, and independent light control. This makes it an ideal choice for both professional installers upgrading an existing system and end-users seeking enhanced safety, visibility, and security.
Key Features & Benefits
• PIR Motion Sensor: Automatically triggers the opener's lights upon detecting movement within the garage, providing instant illumination for safe entry without the need to fumble for a wall switch in the dark.
• Security+ 2.0® Communication: Utilizes advanced two-way encrypted serial communication with the motor's logic board, virtually eliminating signal interference and ensuring highly responsive operation.
• Electronic Remote Lockout: Empowers the end-user to electronically disable all outside radio frequencies (remotes and wireless keypads) via a single button, maximizing property security during vacations or extended absences.
• Independent Light Control: Features a dedicated button to turn the opener's work lights on or off independently of the door's movement, allowing the garage to be used as a well-lit workspace.
• Motion Sensor Override Switch: Allows users to manually disable the motion-detecting feature when automatic lighting is not desired, offering complete control over the system's behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will the 886LM panel work with my older LiftMaster opener that has a Purple learn button?
A1: No. The 886LM utilizes the proprietary Security+ 2.0® encrypted serial communication and is strictly compatible with units featuring a Yellow Learn Button. Connecting it to a Purple, Red/Orange, or Green learn button system will result in the panel not functioning.
Q2: How is this control panel wired to the motor head?
A2: The 886LM requires a standard two-wire connection. Run 22 AWG bell wire from the panel to the red and white terminals on the opener's logic board. Ensure polarity is correct; if the LED on the panel does not light up, swap the wires at the terminal block.
Q3: Can I turn off the motion sensor if I am working in the garage and don't want the lights constantly resetting?
A3: Yes. There is a small physical switch located on the panel that allows you to easily toggle the PIR motion-sensing feature on or off according to your preference.
Q4: Does the "Lock" button disable my outside wireless keypad?
A4: Yes. When the lock feature is engaged, the logic board ignores all incoming radio frequency signals. This means all handheld remotes, vehicle built-in transmitters (like HomeLink), and exterior wireless keypads will be temporarily disabled until the lock is deactivated. The wired 886LM panel itself will still open and close the door.
Q5: The LED on my 886LM is blinking continuously and my remotes have stopped working. What is the issue?
A5: A continuously blinking LED on the wall panel indicates that the "Lock" feature has been activated. To restore normal operation and allow your remotes to function, press and hold the "Lock" button for approximately two seconds until the LED stops flashing and remains solid.
