FAAC Poor Radio Reception

Remote control range is very short; must be close to the FAAC opener for it to work.

Possible Causes

Damaged or missing antenna, Radio interference from nearby devices, Weak remote battery, Receiver sensitivity degradation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Work with power off when accessing the control board or antenna connections.

  • Replace remote batteries: Install fresh, correct-type batteries in all FAAC remotes.
  • Inspect antenna: Ensure the antenna wire is fully extended and not cut. For external antennas, check the coax connector and mount location.
  • Relocate antenna: Move the antenna away from metal surfaces and closer to the door opening if possible.
  • Reduce interference: Keep Wi-Fi routers, LED drivers, and other RF-noisy devices away from the opener if possible.
  • Upgrade receiver/antenna: Install a higher-gain FAAC antenna or an external receiver with better sensitivity if range remains poor.

Do not coil the antenna tightly; this reduces its effectiveness.
